Correction: That was the West Wing. The East Wing was built in 1942 by Franklin D. Roosevelt. I'll repost.

And don’t forget that while complaining that Tesla sells “self-driving” vehicles don’t drive themselves, government is simultaneously working to block Tesla from allowing its cars to drive themselves.

Q: "if you saw someone behind the wheel of a car at 65 mph watching a movie, wouldn't you want to know if that car had automated driving features?"
My A: No, because like cruise control, there won't be any way to determine if the feature is actually on!

Q1: What does this allow us to do, that we could not have done without it? Asking for a friend who already knows how to use pointers.
Q2: Is sizeof(std::optional<T&>) the same as sizeof(T*)?

Dear Elon:

Last week I:

1. Bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
2. A flannel for my face
3. Pajamas, a hairbrush
4. New shoes and a case
5. I said to my reflection, Let’s get out of this place.

That's 3 of 38 pending CFPB cases against big companies that could give money back to millions who were scammed.

An attack on the CFPB is an attack on everyday people—and a gift to giant corporations that try to cheat them.

The CFPB was suing Walmart for allegedly forcibly opening deposit accounts for more than 1 million delivery drivers and charging them $10 million in junk fees.
The Trump administration has frozen that enforcement case as well.

The CFPB was going after the big banks behind Zelle for $1 billion in allegedly unchecked consumer fraud on the platform.
The Trump administration has frozen that enforcement case, too.

Shockingly expensive?!? My Model Y just passed 100K miles. Full service history is on app; i checked, and have 1 charge: alignment due to vibration when going over 80mph. It was $275.

My primary service expense is tires, totalling about $3,800.

Way cheaper than any other car I own: 4c/mile.

it used to be that only minorities could blame their failures on racism. Now that experience has been made available to white people as well.

An hour a day is 6% of your waking life. 6% where she is completely passive. It’s more time than any other single activity in her life. That’s not nothing.
