I don't know what is stranger, that these folks passi g these laws have no idea what kids are like, or that they know what kids are like and are desperate to have theirs hate them.

Trump Bid for Cut of Nvidia, AMD Revenue Risks β€˜Dangerous World’ The revenue-for-exports deal between the US government and two of the world’s biggest chipmakers opens a new front in a trading regime turned upside down by Donald Trump.

Still mind blown that we now have arbitrarily set import taxes (tariffs) and export taxes (15% revenue share from GPUs sold by Intel & AMD in China) with no actual laws written.

Congress is superfluous at this point. We just have a unitary executive.

One would think "Trump is using military force against civilian targets" should already be enough to turn people against this but maybe "Trump spent $450 billion dollars to wag his unit around" will do the trick.

I wonder if any investigative outlet is filing FOIA requests to find out exactly how much money Trump is putting into this pile, while setting it on fire.

As of May, Swedish startup Lovable had roughly a 35% gross margin based on the roughly $5.7 million it generated in revenue from 132,000 paying users that month and the $3.7 million it spent on costs for LLMs to support those users and other expenses, such as payment processing fees, according to a person with knowledge of the company's financials.

All three coding assistantsβ€”as well as

revenue. If the companies were to account for free users under the cost of revenue, their gross margins would be lower.

I'm sorry you cannot do this, this is not how gross margins work!

What’s your favorite food fact that is true but sounds totally made up?

I’ll start: about half of the mushrooms produced across the United States of America each year (more than 300 million pounds of mushrooms in recent years) are produced in *one county* in Pennsylvania.

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.

When Michael Jordan felt boxed in by his success in basketball he tried baseball. When Gary Brooks became synonymous with country he created Chris Gaines. And when JK Rowling created the most successful kids books of all time she reinvented herself as a petty, weirdo transphobia influencer.

When I told one LAPD supervisor that they were arresting press, they didn't believe me. When I talked to another, they made it clear that they weren't going to listen to me, follow their own policy, follow the law, or care.

I would add to this critique that the way they're silently hedging on the shadow docket makes this all far worse. They have no intention of being stuck with their own precedent when a Democratic President is sworn in.
