+0.06 It's Official: The Cybertruck Is More Explosive Than the Ford Pinto (fuelarc.com)
25 points by ceejayoz 10 hours ago | 3 comments on HN | Mixed: Moderate positive signals on freedom of expression (Art. 19), public assembly (Art. 20), and right to remedy (Art. 8). Offsetted by negative signals on privacy/data collection (Art. 12), equal treatment (Art. 7), and selective/unbalanced investigative framing (Art. 29). Editorial advocacy outweighs structural concerns. Editorial · vv3.4 · 2026-02-24
