They wouldn't be caught dead in Hemet.

He owns(?) a building in Forest City, Malaysia (or as he calls it: an island in an undisclosed location off the coast of Singapore)

Sounds like a houseboat. It's a houseboat, isn't it.

James Ingallinera

Wasn't he one of those "hey techies move into my cultlike terrible coliving / working space / company town" people?

this is how one department head at Google gets more money for his compensation package out of the other bits of Google

Was reading about an 11 year old girl who just graduated with two associates' degrees and is heading off to a 4 year college. She wants to work on AI for SpaceX or Tesla.

My first thought was: Oh god someone keep Musk away from her.

A $56 billion gift card for Elon.

It's the same taxation system, you have to pay US taxes still, but I think you can deduct taxes paid in the new country from what you owe the US.

I'm not sure Ive still knows how to design things that actually work as opposed to beautiful objects for Dubai yacht dwellers to look at and show off.

"Don't worry, in the future when science discovers a cure for being a turd, we'll fish you out and bring you back to life."

Are you saying that women who don't have prominent breasts or wear makeup aren't sexy?

It's partly that and partly a mad dash for market share in case the get it to work usefully. Although this is kind of pointless because AI isn't very sticky. There's not much to keep you from using another company's AI service. And only the early adopter nerds are figuring out how to run it on their own hardware.

The Vatican, now using shipping containers as diplomatic pouches.

Assuming the common use of third world to mean "poor countries", then I suppose a "fourth world" country would be one that is poor and *also *not really a functional state, perhaps with some armed conflict going on.

But to describe NYC as that? Nonsense.

Why even involve ChatGPT? The "against" side should have been allowed to bring a speak 'n spell.

I hope Sailer is happy he finally got the "African 'big man' presidency" he was sure Obama would be, from Trump.

I wonder if anyone's going to show up naked because they assumed it was an orgy.

National ID wouldn't change that unless voter local registration and change-of-address updates were all rigidly and securely integrated.

So long as voter registration is a locally-managed list of names and addresses it's possible to go in and arbitrarily declare some of the registrations void.

I'm starting to think maybe it was a mistake to let nerd media take over the world.

Eugenics? A guy going bald that early?

Has he never heard of a humidifier? Good lord.
