If you thought China was selling a lot of batteries and solar panels before, you’re going to love what happens next.

"careful"

Most westerners don’t know this, but in Iranian culture killing someone’s family is considered a grave insult.

"we asked this panel of simulated Kalshi bettors to explain why they made the wagers they did"

instantly reduce the variance on meaningless bad information to practically nothing! Be incredibly precisely certain of your unsupported preconceptions! I wonder if they're hiring anybody for marketing

I can lean on my actual experience to yell at everyone that this won't work! You can't identify emerging customer needs by aggregating data from the past! We tried this already with personas and again with big data! This is like the stupid business version of the problem of induction.

reporting on AI polling this/next cycle is going to be, ah, let's go with "fun"

real high motor nut

Tbqh I assume that the archive plans for securing hormuz assume things like "actual state of war that there is at least some confidence in lasting a while" and "understanding that you will take casualties" and "ground forces" and "allies" and woke shit like that that doesnt make Content for Twitter

MOOOOOOOOOM THE ENEMY IS VOTING AGAIN

(considers that this is a rhetorical question, is nonetheless overcome by the need to reinforce the point)

yes

Wow, this is going to go so terribly wrong, isn’t it?

step one: everybody else blows themselves and each other up kinda all at once

step two: coca cola!

if they're going to make other teams have to play the wizards things like this seem fair, they deserve a little prize

The Bam Adebayo's 83-point game is landing the perfect balance of Horseshit and Delightful for me. Doing this sort of thing against tanking teams is ethical to me, and as likely a cure for tanking as anything the league could do in terms of messing around with the lottery odds.

the problem is that it's all so close to shore, if only they had some way to operate in the so-called littoral zone

Mojtaba Khamenei is basically orthodox religious Punisher, wtf are you people thinking.

I was just thinking today about how it's probably incumbent on progressive Jewish officials at this point to publicly denounce ADL, and AJC too for that matter. We can't have a vacuum that allows casual observers to think these bigots represent us.

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

wow that (lack of) falloff at 6 bit is wild

Imagine having the sack to throw out a star player in the middle of what could be a preview of the NBA Finals for some bullshit because YOU made a bad call. I'm a Spurs fan, but this is total loser shit from the refs.

there is a category of government fuckup--Katrina is where I first noticed it--that I think of as "failing to take the existing comprehensively worked out plan out of the drawer it has been sitting in forever"

hi i’m johnny knoxville and this is stand up paddle boarding the straight of hormuz

utterly unbelievable, and at the same time completely believable

these absolute fucking clowns

this is, as Dave notes, a dumb question, but rolls into the question that strikes me as ever more urgent urgent that people somehow don't seem to ask which is who the fuck is actually in charge from moment to moment?

Emergency Responders Say They're Now Unpaid "Roadside Assistance" for Confused Waymos First responders at San Francisco's Department of Emergency Management are fed up with having to deal with blundering Waymo robotaxis.

"Mary Ellen Carroll, executive director of San Francisco’s Department of Emergency Management, warned that the frequency that police and firefighters have to respond to immobilized Waymos was becoming a public safety issue."

there's still time, I guess

lots more vehicles/humans on the road than just in cars, though. Even if were somehow able to ban motorcycles (good luck!) and bicycles (I would fight this to my dying breath) what about pedestrians

Good job refs. Everyone is here to see you throw brown out so we don’t get the mvp candidates play.

You fuckers.
