Uhhhhhhh, no, thanks. Invertebrates preying on vertebrates, while not unheard of, just doesn’t sit well with me. I’ll stay far away from that wasp, thanks.

When one of the staffers is named “bigballs” and knowingly helped a cybercrime ring, I’m not going to give them any benefit of the doubt. They are gleefully tearing the federal government to shreds so that they will be rewarded with a senior management position when Musk starts up his...

Fuck this entire admininstration. I can’t believe how terrible this is. We in the US are all so, so screwed.

lol who is downvoting this? RFK at HHS is the proverbial fox-whose-brain-got-eaten-by-worms guarding the henhouse. It’s objective reality. I expect no change for the better, and a high likelihood of change for the worse under this kakistocratic dumpster fire.

That’s true. But Amazon knows this. Amazon doesn’t care, and they know they don’t have to.

Here’s the thing: Amazon can afford to lose key employees due to this policy because they’re Amazon. They’re so huge that other, less skilled people will take their places, for less money, which will boost profits, share price go up, and everyone happy. Except for the workers forced back into...

I kind of agree. Getting your customers super stoned is not something to be taken lightly, and I’m certain it was terrifying for the unsuspecting pizza eaters, but if the chemical in question wasn’t named in the article, the descriptions would lead me to suspect potentially fatal industrial...

The farm bill legalized any product, for any use, with 0.3% or less of delta 9. “Marijuana” is covered under the controlled substances act, but the farm bill reclassified anything with less than 0.3% delta 9 as NOT marijuana, making it federally fully legal. Modern plants can exceed this...

To those complaining about this article: this stuff matters. If you don’t pay attention, you will be the proverbial frog in the proverbial slowly heating pot of water. We in the US are facing the potential of the end of democracy as we know it. When you whine about things like this being somehow...

I’m beginning to realize that the real AIpocalypse is having rainbow buttons with stars in or near them ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE.

This becomes less true as your number of competitors goes down. Boeing has one in the large commercial airline sector, and maybe 2 in space travel if I’m being generous. If Boeing had a massive financial crunch à la the banking sector circa 2008, you can damn well bet politicians would volunteer...

What happened to Boeing is digusting. It truly used to be an exemplary American institution, which has been gutted over the last 30 years by the extreme corrosiveness and callous emptiness of the cult of shareholder primacy. The assholes who worked to cover up the deficiencies of the 737 Max are...

This is one of those smarter than thou bullshit statements that makes my blood boil.

I’ve learned a couple things from this article and the comments: 1. There are a lot of Musk fanbois who read Ars 2. I used to joke about Trump allowing Putin to annex the US. Now I’m wondering whether it’s a joke anymore

In one way I feel for Twitter’s execs. In another, they allowed the company to be sold to a megalomaniacal fungus, and Twitter is now literally loaded with people claiming that Helene was engineered to kill residents of the lithium rich area of western NC and that if Trump loses the election...

As a healthy thinking individual, I sometimes find myself questioning whether my side, the liberal side, is really on the right side of history. And then things like this happen, and I realize hey, anything guided by truth that opposes Trump is on the right side. And then I realize that any...

How 👏 is👏 this👏 even 👏 legal?!!?!

Hey man, it’s hard to amass a fortune you couldn’t spend in a thousand lifetimes by being honest.

Agree with your point but competition hasn’t been the American way for a really long time now. What is the American way is companies lobbying Congress to pass laws to benefit them so they can fuck the public.
