Paywall, but the specific issue here is that you need to be registered to vote to be eligible for the $1 mil.

If it was open to everyone, it wouldn't be a problem.

If you kick him out, please don't kick him back to Canada. We're sorry he's there, but we don't want him back.

I wonder how things would go if they made you agree to the terms before being allowed to purchase it.

People bring it to the till, and then just hand it back saying nope.

There a lot of reasons to hate Elon. He's making new reasons every day lately.

A lot of people hate him for completely bs reasons like this though and then come off as hating anything he does just for the sake of hating him.

That's why you're supposed to have paper backups. And you audit things.

Edit: I think you could even get a real time audit and still be electronic with backups

1. You go to machine and vote
2. It prints off a copy of what you voted and records it (this is the primary vote count)
3. You verify the paper ballot print off and take it to a second area to be recorded and kept for audits.
4. Put ballot in second machine which validates and counts the vote and externally shows a counter increase on the machine for votes counted (not who) so you also know this machine counted it for a total.

So now you have the proper vote tallies from 1. The audit of the correct amount of total records from 4. If there's any cause for concern or for auditing, you can manually count the paper ballots.

Imagine Magoos if Jack Dorsey was campaigning for Obama or Biden back when he owned Twitter…

and then stole a @handle to promote them as well.

I feel like something like this from the same organization should be illegal.

You can't advertise contradicting views from the same PAC, because one of them MUST be lying.

And yeah, apparently I had a doppelganger roaming Tulsa in the 90s. I met people who were shocked to see me and friends were shocked to see the other guy. Sounds like our social circles were almost touching.

It doesn't work in the 90s as we didn't all have smartphones but if that happened today I'd beg my friends to take a photo of/with them

Preventing engaging something in bad conditions is a lot easier than what do you do if the conditions suddenly happen.

If it's suddenly foggy it needs to be able to handle the situation well.

Cameras/Lidar don't work well in fog. Radar does, but it isn't a primary sensor and can't be driven on safely alone in any circumstance.

So now you need to slow down (which humans will do) but also since the sensors are failing or insufficient, safely get out of the way of what might be other incoming vehicles behind you, or slow/stopped vehicles ahead of you.

You could restrict hours the system can be engaged which will reduce the likely hood of certain events (e.g morning fog, or sunrise/sunset head on sun) but there's still unpredictability.

If only he'd gone away into obscurity after Jon Stewart got Crossfire cancelled.

The judge’s response was that not releasing it simply because it might affect the election would itself represent interference by the court.

Delaying/hiding important information interfering with an election? Who would have thought! Oh wait wasn't he also convicted in civil court for... paying to hide information and trying to cover it up?

Clearly he knows the importance of information and how it can interfere with an election including not releases it.

The problem was how you refilled it. If it had a different refilling mechanism that could be done safely, even if lit, it'd probably be okay.

We light things on fire ontop of other things all the time.

edit: Oh and some form of indicator if there's still a fire, given the invisible flames. Even though the issues were with refilling, you know someone will eventually still put their hand over/into it.

completely unrelated, but that photo has a striking resemblance to a roommate I had a very long time ago. It's not her, but it's pretty eerie how close it is.

For twitter, he actually isn't. That was the original plan, but he moved away from it and got additional external financing, and then put up more cash himself by selling additional Tesla stock.

Not sure about boring company / neuralink.

Google: We changed a color

Fork Developer: they changed a color and it caused 50,000 breaking changes that a diff tool can't handle automatically wtf.

Google: sorry wrong color here's a new one

Fork developer: another 100,000 breaking changes that a diff can't handle?!?!

This is a pretty textbook definition of monopoly abuse.

I can't see them keeping control of chrome as this goes forward.

I can't believe that's real, but also, of course it's real.

Chronic fatigue syndrome.

It's another one like long covid where so much of the medical community thinks it's all in people's heads and not real, but unlike long covid it's less prevalent and thus studied less. We still don't know what it is.

There's even some hopes that figuring out long covid might lead to new ways to look into what cfs really is.

The way around this could be a duress profile where it deletes everything on the phone except a premade profile with a few apps installed and a picture or two.

That seems pretty idiotic to me. But I shouldn't be surprised by that either.

If you're going to count them again, at least count them properly and make sure the votes match too.
