The single worst thing about companies putting all their product information on public websites is going to their retail store and having to sit through an employee navigating the exact same site you have access to, but 100x slower.

Watch Tesla self-driving v14.3.7 head straight for a wire fence while exiting a parking garage, forcing the driver to disengage to avoid a six-story drop! This is Tesla’s self-driving that Elon Musk calls “a solved problem.” Do you believe him?

Taylor Farms, the lettuce supplier at the center of our explosive diarrhea outbreak, has spent millions to oppose food regulation and elect Donald Trump and other MAGA Republicans:

The company donated more than $3.6 million to conservative groups between 2020 and 2025, including $1 million to the MAGA Inc. super PAC.

If you use a mid-drive ebike with a chain, get it serviced regularly, the chains stretch more with the motor and this will eat your gears more quickly. Chain replacement cheaper that gears.

I've made the mistake of listening to a lot of Peter Thiel interviews recently to try to understand his worldview. The guy is an absolute third-rate thinker who contradicts himself every 30 seconds and nobody pushes him on it.

One of my kids is in France for the heatwave and I didn’t know the French have a cultural bias against AC for supposedly health reasons. It’s not perfect (possible mold, no fresh air, etc) but dying or damage from the heat seems a problem too.

Possibly the strangest failure of CS and a prerequisite for better AI coding tools is uniform parse tree modeling of all languages, the text search/replace is totally bananas when computer languages are fundamentally machine readable.

You can not resell cars in any US state without a dealer license. If I see a car for $1k, buy it, and turn around and sell it for $2k I need a physical office location approved as a car dealership by the town/city and meet other regulations. You can’t do this from your house even one car at a time.

I seriously can’t believe Apple did not create an MCP server system for iOS apps which Siri ties into. Put the usual review mechanism on the APIs . Leaning into their old broken crap feels indicative they’ve lost some of their bigger thinkers.
