  • Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims

  • Double dick move by tesla, shorten the warranty period, and lower the resale value! INNOVATIVE!

    Japan’s best-selling EV is the Sakura, an adorable kei car with bidirectional charging and 112 miles of range. Its cost: $17k. It can not legally be sold in North America.

  • The Chicken Tax is a 25 percent tariff on light trucks (and originally on potato starch, dextrin, and brandy) imposed in 1964 Eventually, the tariffs on potato starch, dextrin, and brandy were lifted,[4] but since 1964 this form of protectionism has remained in place to give US domestic automakers an advantage over imported competitors.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STOCK_Act

    96:3 Senate

    417:2 House

    The real world effectiveness of the STOCK Act at curbing insider trading is up for debate. Insider trading laws which already existed to stop such practices lack specific definitions making them difficult to enforce, the STOCK Act attempts to rectify this but critics argue it does not do enough

  • What are some of the craziest censorship instances on TV shows you have seen?

  • Not "Completely", but they are trying.

    The Last Screenwriter

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32236000/

    "Featured Review" is telling.

    Cancel-culture mob missed the point. Shame on the cinemas who cancelled the screening because whinging mobs shook their fists.

    First of all, the movie is non-profit. Secondly, it was made by a real human crew and real actors.

    It was clever to get ChatGPT to write a film script about a screenwriter who feels his job is threatened by AI's superior writing ability. How can anyone not be curious to watch this movie?

    ...

    Ultimately, the script lacks any real punch or decent plot twists or narrative layering that we humans love about film. It doesn't go anywhere you wouldn't predict.

    emphasis mine.

  • I will not disagree, "just changed" is doing some heavy lifting.

    My only point with the graph was to show manufacturing in the US is near an all time high.

  • While I completely agree. Last time democrats were in full control was 2009-2011 and the time before that was 1993-1995.

    Why change the title?

  • Max Streaming ‘Enshittifies’ Further, Removes Classic Looney Tunes

    Jump

  • Not deleted, just not available to those who paid to stream.

    Streaming does cost money, not much individually, but at the scale they are at, this is huge savings!($)

    Think about it this way, the cost per customer will not go down (probably up), but the amount of content will go down.

    The profits must increase every quarter.

  • Commerce secretary: No one but ‘fraudsters’ would complain about missed Social Security check

    Jump

  • It's slightly different I think.

    Those complaining are "fraudsters" and do not "like their government"

    Stop assuming they are dumb, these guys are trying to strip money from America's neediest while suggesting complaining is either criminal or unpatriotic.

  • Like, yeah he was shitty, but he didn’t participate in a violent attack on the nation’s capitol.

    Not in DC, but in Miami many of his staffers were involved in a violent riot. The threat of violence was enough for them to suspend the counting of votes, and after a deadline passed, Bush won with a supreme court decision.

    Bonus points for similarity, Roger Stone organized a violent protest (riot) with the explicit goal of stopping the counting of votes, for the benefit of republicans.
