The comparison seems like an apples-to-oranges comparison. Both countries are chasing after AI. The US is currently betting on oil and coal while China is betting on renewables. Ok, same conclusion!

I feel like cars stopped catching on fire in the 1970's and then something happened this year and now I'm afraid of my toaster

I was the only survivor of a plane crash and I turned out fine. I don't get it, what's the big deal?

American Bitcoin Department?
A Bigger Deal?
Association of Bionic Dingoes ?

Or it's a typo.

This is also why nobody makes black cars. Can't touch them.

Or, just hear me out... Night

I'm not familiar with the project but would have no issue myself living next to a solar farm. I just like them? There are always NIMBYs on any topic. I'm a YIMBY on solar!

It may help if you explain what's so terrible about Ivy, I am not aware of any issues. Is the solar power 'bad' in some fundamental way?

My lifeboat and oar metaphor seems to have completely missed so how about this one: when sliding down a steep rock slope, perhaps it's not wise to be picky about how dirty the handholds are? I'm not sure how else to get this point across.

I agree you are not saying that. You're expressing a preference for doing solar farms better, I understand. My point is that in the context of 2025 this feels like a mistake -- this is not the time to push for perfection, we need to protect what's been accomplished and keep moving forward.

Critiquing solar farms in 2025 gives me "you can't use that lifeboat, an oar is cracked' vibes.

I'd say 'human resources' is worse. It only feels better because we're not thinking about the meaning. It could always be worse, how about Head of 'human value extraction'?

This is appropriating Pittsburgh's divine right to add fries to everything. Other cities are not allowed to do this!

"Prices haven't gone up yet, tariffs don't mean anything?"

Supply chains are... chains. Long chains.

Imagine your city water supply is a supply chain. If you throw a few tons of mud into the system at the treatment plant your water doesn't turn brown that second.

The mud is coming.

That's only the shorter supply chains. The longer term ones -- think Q4 gifts -- are even more sensitive to disruption.

This is something I'd expect from a 3rd grader who needs some alone time

Y2K didn't get a lot of attention until the late 90's so we're on track?

This is frustrating. Is there a point of failure here -- a part of the government that's supposed to be raising their hand and saying 'Hold on a sec!", or do we rely on random attorneys to file cases against the government? (I may have missed a few civics classes in school.)

The owner is a convicted felon (tax evasion) so honestly that seems like a reasonable choice.

A mystery that will never be solved.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

The nature of the (terrible) cost cutting strategy that has been adopted by DOGE does not involve--and in fact, can not afford to involve -- these kinds of questions. It's not intentional, it's part of a well understood playbook. tldr: it's a chainsaw

All we need now are officially issued government gray overalls (made in America for only $700) and a giant holographic talking head.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

I think a really important way of framing this data is saying that a majority of American Jews have little to no confidence in Benjamin Netanyahu, leader of the Israeli government. Especially as our government says they’re disappearing legal residents “for us” over protests of Israel.

Important in itself, especially for those of us living in New York. But it’s more broadly important as a demonstration of the power of noncompliance as a response to unlawful commands.

It's normal for media outlets to take feeds from various sources and either use that information as a starting point for their own story or just syndicate the article. If you get lazy about which sources you rely on without additional fact checking ($ required), well, this happens.

Today it's Travelers at the NYSE and Dollar Tree for the NASDAQ. Maybe sort of on brand for both?
