Zwabu posted:Re Warnock/Walker race, doesn't Walker's old girlfriend remaining anonymous seriously limit any potential impact her story could have? I mean the accusers in the Roy Moore election came public and he still almost won. Christian's outburst probably did more to harm than the initial accusation. It not only confirmed it but also hinted at more to come and that the Walker family has bigger troubles than just Herschel's philandering.

Phlag posted:(Warning: discussion on suicide and specific suicide methods incoming) I think this really comes down to regulating algorithms or at least putting a human in the loop to hit a button whenever these issues arise. The same thing happens with radicalization with YouTube videos or Facebook group and how that poo poo is being gamed to get more adherents to indoctrinate by abusing the traffic algorithms to those views. Like after a few hits, maybe have a manager come in and flag recommendations before getting they hurt more people.

I looked into this when it broke and everything I've been seeing is 6000-8000 calories for $28 bucks, because I'm going to straight to the loving value menu and getting a mix of Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burritos or Beefy Melt Burritos, totalling up 14 total, at $2 each. This man has never had to buy a cheap and filling meal before.

MechanicalTomPetty posted:If there's one good thing that can be said about Musk its that he tends to cave to public pressure instead of doubling down whenever it becomes clear that his dumb ideas aren't winning him the accolades he hoped for. The thing is, this never leads to any real introspection on his part and I'm sure he would have kept going with it if there hadn't been any pushback against it. And I'm sure it won't be long before we see him try again with something similarly boneheaded. It sounds like he's going to try and force mass layoffs tomorrow, to avoid having to pay a 2 month severance Twitter has contracted with their employees if laid off after Nov 1st, but he needed to give 60 days notice or be in violation of the WARN Act. So, that's the next thing to look out for. Edit: BTW, since foreign policy is American policy, Lula da Silva just won the runoff in Brazil against Bolsonaro.

Considering that billion dollar interest on the loans Musk took out from them, they getting more off the interest than they'd ever get from Twitter. And if Twitter goes belly up, they lose nothing and potentially get a hold on Tesla.

I can't fathom any reason why he would already be laying groundwork against DeSantis unless he was banking on facing off against him in a primary. Yeah, I'm really wondering where that breaking news story of him being a teacher at Darlington for a year, where he had inappropriate behaviors with students and attended parties with minors came from? Seems like that would have killed any career as an elected official if it came out earlier but we get it while he's been a governor of a state and is the front runner of the GOP. I know the FL Dems are in disarray but come on, it's a two decade old story.

I believe Fierro was the one who said that it was a "drag queen" in his recollection of the takedown, but I am taking that from his perspective and maybe a lack of specific knowledge of the clientele of Club Q. I've been in gay clubs or nightclubs with gender-fluid clientele and there's plenty of times not knowing if someone there is cis or trans unless you talk to them. There could also be the angle of throwing off the identity of the "drag queen", since she hasn't come forward regarding kicking in the shooter's face.

bird food bathtub posted:Aren't a lot of these shootings elaborate murder-suicides? I've read that somewhere. If the goal is to die in a hail of bullets and hurt as many of your targeted out group as you can the concept of punishment is completely meaningless and has zero deterrent value. Would you happened to know where that's from? Because it appears the opposite is true: most shooters from Parkland on have seem to have plans to get away with it. Maybe it's fallout from the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, where they fully expect to get a jury to nullify their shooting or they expect to get support on the run from some right-wing underground like Eric Rudolph.

Killer robot posted:Cutting corners on maintenance and upkeep leads to ever-increasing chance of catastrophe, but not in a predictable way, especially with more complex systems. I haven't followed the details of it enough to guess what jobs/tasks are being cut and what aren't, but a negative change isn't going to be a "and this makes the data center shut down in X days." It's going to be making various potential failures more likely, or harder to recover from when they happen. If maintenance and development suffers over time, it gets progressively worse, like not maintaining any other big machine. Particularly if that means working existing staff harder, leaving them fatigued and distracted. Not just maintenance of existing infrastructure, but remember that Musk is also having whatever remaining developers and engineers hurriedly implement new features or pull out existing features on a whim, like after his tantrum with Spaces after getting into that journo Space. BTW, pulling Spaces broke likes on Android Twitter, so it also shows you how interconnected things are.

They leveraged him but they don't really care about Twitter that much because they got their money, one way or another. As the Raisini post mentioned, he's asking for more money to get him out of his Twitter bind, because he needs to fix what he's broke to sell it and get back to Tesla to keep the shareholders there from revolting from the overvalued stock contracting.
