Yosemite embodies the long war over US national park privatization

news.ycombinator.com Michael Childers 2025-12-15 09:17:05

The Trump administration’s cuts to the National Park Service’s budget and staffing have raised concerns among park advocates and the public that the administration is aiming to further privatize the national parks. The nation has a long history of similar efforts, including a wildly unpopular 1980 attempt by Reagan administration Interior Secretary James Watt to promote development and expand private concessions in the parks. But debate over using public national park land for private profit da

These Behind-the-Scenes Emails From Tesla Meekly Begging the State of California to Allow Its Horrible Robotaxis Are Unintentionally Hilarious

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-15 10:45:34

Email exchanges between Tesla and California regulators obtained by Politico reveal a comical discrepancy between what Elon Musk is saying his Robotaxi services can do publicly, and what the automaker is actually telling authorities behind closed doors. This week, Tesla launched a ride-hailing service in San Francisco, in what is being framed as an expansion of its Robotaxi efforts that started as an invite-only program in Austin, Texas last month, where it immediately began charging customers

Apple accused of inflating Self Service Repair prices to push new iPad purchases

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-12-16 08:24:08

Over the past few years, Apple has made some progress on self-service repairability, following years of criticism over how tightly it locks down its devices. Now, a new report questions how much Apple really is complying with right-to-repair regulations. Too expensive to be worth it In a 404 Media post out this week, independent repair professionals say Apple’s newly available iPad parts are so expensive, that they make repairs economically unviable. Their thesis is that Apple effectively wan

Signing up for T Satellite without T-Mobile service isn’t as simple as it might sound

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T Satellite is now officially available nationwide, even for those without T-Mobile service, but signing up requires a phone call or an in-person visit. I decided to try signing up, and my experience was overall smooth and professional, though others have reported long waits or uninformed reps. I waited around an hour or so, though half this time was due to my own error. Recently, T Satellite officially exited beta and launched nationwide for both existin

Is T-Mobile's new T-Satellite service worth $10 a month to be able to text from almost anywhere outside cellular coverage areas? The Starlink-based satellite service can be a convenience if you're camping or hiking remote areas, but also a communications lifeline for people who don't have regular cellular access or need emergency aid. To test it out, though, I had to find a cellular dead zone. T-Mobile estimates there are 500,000 square miles in the US with no cell coverage, so I left my home i

CookUnity Prepared Meal Delivery Review (2025): Chef-Centric Meals

It shouldn't be surprising if a plate of chicken lababdar tastes delicious. The dish is among my favorite North Indian gravies, a slightly edgier cousin of butter chicken that's a bit spicier and tangier but just as creamy. What was surprising was that this particular chicken had arrived in the mail. Specifically, it came in a microwaveable tray from CookUnity meal delivery service that looked a little like a white-label TV dinner—packed up earlier that morning in Seattle, then driven down to m

Tesla plans 'friends and family' car service in California, regulator says

A vehicle Tesla is using for robotaxi testing purposes on Oltorf Street in Austin, Texas, US, on Sunday, June 22, 2025. In an earnings call this week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk teased an expansion of his company's fledgling robotaxi service to the San Francisco Bay Area and other U.S. markets. But California regulators are making clear that Tesla is not authorized to carry passengers on public roads in autonomous vehicles and would require a human driver in control at all times.

Tesla wants to bring robotaxis to San Francisco. Here’s what’s standing in the way.

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-12-29 03:41:43

Tesla is launching an even-more-limited version of its early robotaxi service in San Francisco this weekend, according to Business Insider, after an initial rollout began last month in Austin, Texas. The company plans to send invites to Tesla owners to test the service, according to the report. Depending on how and if Tesla proceeds, its actions could violate state regulations — and even if there’s a human safety driver sitting behind the wheel while its vehicles operate autonomously.
