For that matter, how dare the government fine me for dumping waste in the river, and stop me from employing minors? Don't they know it will ruin the economy?

Electron is an 18m orbital delivery rocket (14.5m+payload without the optional third stage).

It was passed in 2017 to go into effect in 2023. Trump now wants to suspend it until 2029. You may notice that in both cases it is being passed under a Republican-controlled executive but goes into effect under the next administration. This is the point.

Because without thoroughly-enshrined protections for identities, an e-ID system provides an avenue for the government to effectively de-person undesirables at will, by removing their ability to use banks, sign contracts, access healthcare, etc.

The current US administration is known for illegally deporting permanent residents and has stated intent to deport natural-born citizens. It should be self-evident why a centralized ID system under the control of the executive branch is a terrible idea.

I am still unable to pass CF validation on my desktop (sent to infinite captcha loop hell). Nowadays I just don't bother with any website that uses it.

They keep all the profits and can still sell "anonymized" data. Surely this chilling precedent will have other corporations shivering in fear.

There is a certain irony in this, given that such behaviour (demonstrating that rule of law applies only to the peons) is what has so inflamed the public in support of Mangione.

In case this isn't trolling, it's valuable to any users who have a question that was previously answered on the forums, and to any users who invested time and energy answering said questions. Neither of these show up as a revenue stream, but instead impact customer retention and onboarding - the absence of community support is a major negative when making a purchasing decision as a new customer.

And so we allow people to trivially circumvent the law by shielding themself behind a shell corporation, and never are consequences seen.

It's trivial to find who to blame - just follow the money. Hit the investors with sentences proportional to their stake of ownership, and just like magic, executives who enable criminal behavior will become rather less popular and internal oversight much more so. Of course this will never happen, since the lack of culpability is the point.

"Not everyone works at black companies" and "nobody works at black companies" are very different statements. People going home at 6 is evidence for the former, not the latter.

AIUI the numbers are for accidents where FSD is in control. Which means if it does a turn into oncoming traffic and the driver yanks the wheel or slams the brakes 500ms before collision, it's not considered a crash during FSD.

Ideally it would have a section on next steps and how YC will prevent such events in the future, but definitely preferable over a corporate nonapology.

Considering how much negative publicity companies see every time one of they require RTO, and yet not one has published metrics? They absolutely don't have any.
