It’s like if 5,000 people bought iPhones at Costco and they all exploded, and Apple says “well we didn’t sell them.” Sure, but maybe not the perfect thing to communicate immediately.

Is the extension not Anthropic.claude-code developed by Anthropic? Been a while since I used Cursor.

Dispatched? Don’t drivers pick their jobs? They choose to go to the restaurant with the line.

Also, why would those who pay to be there have to wait in line, but people who get paid by a third-party service to be there don’t? That doesn’t make sense.

I don’t get why we’re talking legislation; it’s basic courtesy.

If I said “hey, here’s $5 if you go cut the line at that restaurant,” does that make it right?

Somebody in the chain is likely getting profit sharing and, if so, definitely thinks about it (because that’s the whole point of such arrangements).

I mean more than a typo the keys look like some guy just typing in random numbers, and the company did say they had some deviations to procedure.

Aren’t they essentially Leninist? Like if they weren’t burning coal to make Nikes and iPhones they’d be burning it for something else? So what’s the point of my choices here? I’m not even complaining, but from a problem-solving standpoint, seems kind of irrelevant.

They were pretty much what we’d now call fraternity brothers recently out of William and Mary plus whomever else they could rope in.

You’re not really supposed to just vote in your self-interest. It’s a proxy for violence.

> I know people get emotional on this matter but they don’t understand the process.

This kind of “logic”—the process is broken, therefore it’s okay to cheat—isn’t very popular with Americans.

The US can just declare extraterritorial jurisdiction. We do it for bioweapons. Uncle Sam doesn’t need an invite.

IIRC one of the FBI guys who investigated anthrax was like “yeah, it’s pretty obvious looking at what that lab was up to.”

The teams use a single homologated ECU to prevent driver aids. I would assume it doesn’t have a downlink on-track to prevent tampering, but presumably with umbilical cord connected in the garage during red flag they can make changes, which the FIA probably sent over. Who knows.

It’s already permitted and operating. Presumably they want the $XX million tax rebates, which haven’t yet been paid out according to this article. Maybe that’s the case in other places too.

Why not get people riled up over water under the bridge and not unpaid rebates? What can anybody do about it? Send the sheriff to lock out the facility?

The cult aspect is more salient. Ultimately the Atlantic piece comes down to controlling people, which is a little cult-like.

Personally I’m switching to Omarchy the minute they’ve got an Apple silicon image. Been on macOS since the 90s. I just want to be able to tell the papercuts to go away. Not confident in Apple’s ability to scratch that itch anymore.
