"popping champagne" is a figure of speech (perhaps hyperbole, or an idiom) meant to express not the literal act of "really popping champagne", but instead reaping the benefits of a seemingly poorly calculated business move by the other guys.

Claiming Dario is the bad guy in any context is kind of a tough characterization to agree with, if even a fraction of one interview with him has been seen.

To stay on point though: OpenAI hiring OpenClaw creator does seem to lean away from a serious enterprise benefit and towards a more consumer-based tack, which is a curious business move considering the original comments perspective of OpenAI.

Yes I understand what an idiom is jfc. OpenAI was never the enterprise focused company to start and besides they can walk and chew gum. There’s another idiom for you.

Who are you referring to by "They" it's not clear to me.

Great question. I thought that only citizens could access public healthcare benefits.

I have read the Obama era numbers are inflated because they counted turn aways at the border.

It’s also a little interesting that Obama was able to be against illegal immigration without a ton of pushback. Why was that?

> It’s also a little interesting that Obama was able to be against illegal immigration without a ton of pushback. Why was that?

Maybe because under Obama agents didn't go around smashing windows:

Note: the above person was an asylum seeker, so following the official process (AFAICT).

Or under Obama they didn't pull away people who were in line to take the Oath of Allegiance:

Or take US citizens out of their homes, in their underwear, in the middle of winter:

Perhaps under Obama due process was followed, or not going after / grabbing people randomly based on the color of their skin:

He got tons of pushback from the left. He was just able to weather his party’s fringe in ways Republicans have not.

For the same reason Nixon was able to establish OSHA without a ton of pushback.

Team sports basically. And when you point out double standards, you got slammed as some "both sides" guy from the other team pretending to be a centrist.

This is a delusional take. For starters, there was criticism from lefties against Obama. Second, Obama didn't use ICE as a secret police force and send them into his political opponents' cities to punish them for wrongthink. You cannot tell me with a straightface that ICE in their current capacity is "just enforcing immigration laws"

I think you're assuming way too much about my point and jumping to conclusions, QED

What was your point? You mentioned "double standards" and "team sports" as if the Trump and Obama admins were comparable with their use of ICE.

If you wanted to make a more detailed point, then do that but as your comment stands, it is just a useless bothsides-ism.

It’s not just a simple case it’s an extremely contentious issue the country is deeply divided on based on location and political leanings.

I remember a lot of stuff Bush did in the aftermath of 911 that was illegal. Anyone remember Snowden? And Obama did a drone strike on a US citizen. This has been going on a long time but maybe we used to play pretend better.

> This has been going on a long time

This has been going on forever, everywhere.

Laws have always applied selectively, particularly when it comes to whatever group is responsible for enforcing them.

There are very clear differences, so I find your argument disingenuous at best. While the legality can be doubted for the examples you gave, those administrations released their legal rationale.

The TikTok rationale essentially came to ‘we want genz voters’

Isnt the math of buying Nvidia stock with what you pay for all the hardware and then just paying $20 a month for codex with the annual returns better?

If you can see into the future and know the stock price, then sure.

The line only ever goes up, until we all cry and find a new false messiah. Or die

Maybe better written and simplified to: “microservices suck”.

Old man yells at cloud, then creates a labyrinth of mirrors for the images of the clouds to reflect back on each other.

why would you not use sqlite?

who are you to say how people should use energy? This is a pure nihilistic coal post and I think you should think about being less judgmental, it will make you happier.

> who are you to say how people should use energy?

Everyone should have a say. We all live here.
