Wow, Starship's engines really singed the side of the booster during that flip. I saw a spot turning red and a big swatch of the side blackening.

The fact that all Helium on the Earth is a product of nuclear decay of larger atoms, means we should feel lucky to have it at all here. The way we throw it away for party balloons is CRAZY! It is a precious non-renewable resource need for lots of science ang engineering.
Great thing about this site is whenever some unfortunate thing happens in the world, you can rely on a day of bangers!
Boards should start hiring their own hookers to seduce their execs. If it fails, great, you’ve got a good one. If it succeeds, nothing leaks and now you know what you’re dealing with and have leverage to boot.

We can say this 1000 times and no one will believe it. And yet, it’s completely true. The government and insurance companies set the amount your doctor gets paid. Doctors have zero say.

US insurance companies often deny care. As a doctor and a patient, it’s frustrating.
But this idea that other countries just approve everything is a midwit take.
It’s just the government denying your care instead of an insurance company. And they often deny care that’s routine here in the US.
For example, in British Columbia, you can’t get a spinal disc replacement surgery, as case that’s routinely done in the US and has randomized trial data showing superiority over spinal fusion.
And speaking of fusion, the UK recommends against even that. Their NICE committee (which isn’t) determines what gets approved in the NHS. They state that spinal fusion offers no benefit.
Even if you agree with those two assessments, the point is that there’s still routine denial of care in socialized systems.
No healthcare system pays for everything for everybody with no utilization management.
Healthcare has unlimited demand. If someone else is paying for it, then it must be rationed.
LOL, bullshit

Does anybody make a browser or plugin that automatically scans all text then applies shading based on AI detection?

Well... if @X is going to decline my reports of extremely clear fraud-oriented impersonation (in this case of @farzyness ) I guess there isn't a point in me reporting any more? On the plus side, the fraudulent account did get deleted.

Humiliating blow for the GOP. Maybe AI slop posting and social media chest puffing while starting wars, spending like crazy, not releasing Epstein files, and not fixing inflation wasn’t the move kings. Who would’ve thought?
I’m sure the Dems will do a great job over the next two years of making total asses of themselves, as each party typically does when they have their moment.
And the clown show of US politics goes on.
This is why we shouldn’t let them divide us.

remember, it's all 100% self-inflicted
elected to close the border, reduce cost of living, and end forever foreign wars
instead they engaged in:
performative theatrics in blue cities instead of durable border policy
loud trade wars with everyone all at once instead of tactical engagement with China + strategic re-shoring of critical industries
poking every ally in the world in the eye simultaneously instead of doubling down on the ones which will matter for the next century
right before starting a war of choice with Iran at the apparent behest of Israel
skyrocketing the price of energy and most other things, making people feel poor and helpless, while engaging in pointless vanity projects putting their name on everything
all done simultaneously with the most corrupt and grift-laden admin in recent memory
and what, they just thought that the voters wouldn't care??
lmao
This is so true 👇

I have a lot of confidence in this completely unscientific ranking.

I would strongly consider uninstalling any third party js right now if I were you. Especially if it comes from a startup.
Analytics, monitoring, etc are all massive site takeover risks. If you use a tracking script from a third party SaaS, then if they get hacked the hackers have total control over your site too.
This is what took down Polymarket today. They used a tiny script from a SaaS that tracks page load speed. That company got hacked, and the hackers subsequently stole millions from Polymarket users.
If you want to use analytics safely, I would use a product that lets you pin the tracking script and control when it changes. Most of the mature products support this, e.g. Sentry, Amplitude, PostHog, Mixpanel, Heap. If not, you need to trust the company behind it a lot...
Railway got hacked last week. Railway! That's a very competent team, with particularly strong infra chops. The agent swarms are on another level.
A typical analytics company is nowhere near as sophisticated. You should ask yourself: do I trust this company's security more than Railway? I was an analytics CTO in a past life, and I will be the first to admit: we had some great people but we were not on this level.
We (Detail) just uninstalled our session replay, which was a product I loved but is not worth the risk right now.
I hate to write this because I spent a good chunk of my 20s benefitting from product teams taking a chance on a nothing startup and installing our js on their site. But in the past two weeks this risk vector has exploded. It's better for the ecosystem if we move away from third party js as fast as we can.
