This is more true in the US due to costs of labor vs. parts and a whole culture of profitability at all costs. Compared to other countries, repairability is higher where labor is c…

It's almost like we've been sold a lie about good guys and bad guys, us vs them, and so on.

I disagree strongly and push back on this framing. It's technically correct but it subtracts the huge factor that maximizing short term profit plays, and couching that in "feeding …

Let's place the rage in the rage in the right place. What they did to past infringements is wrong. What they're doing now is also wrong, but less wrong.

Is anyone else having mixed feelings about AI companies' special-casing themselves being a potentially new avenue to review copyright and IP law in the first place? Am I naïve for …

I wish you worked with me, in that case. I've had the pleasure of working with many different people from different backgrounds, including many Brits. I've always found the dry, un…

These things are always a slippery slope. They rarely, if ever, achieve their safety goals but they almost always achieve the goals of the corporate interests to garner further dat…

It's not for the Fortunate Sons, silly.

It's important to not frame this as a US vs Israel thing. Israel is, at best, the last of the Western world's settler colonies, and as such, is serving a purpose, a so-called lande…

This is a non-sequitur. It's an "American" organization whose sole purpose is to lobby the US government on behalf of the interests of a foreign government. It should register as a…

It was not and never was a good idea. The US and Europe need to stay out of the Middle East, including Israel and Palestine, and let the Jews, Christians, Muslims, and all other in…

This is well known and documented. It should not be downvoted. Zionism in Big Tech is a huge issue. Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territori…

Ah, the whole, "Everyone does it, why are you picking only us?" They used to for their warcrimes, genocide, apartheid, and literally every other thing they are guilty of.

Uh-huh. The official story two very trustworthy sources on the matter. The coverup and silencing of the survivors and threats to their persons and families if they attempted to tel…

"Government suddenly and confusingly starts acting accordingly to what everyone's already know for a long time." This is really quite scary when you think about it. Why now all of …

From its start Israel's existence has been about not playing by the rules. The days are numbered for Israel because it's not and never has been a sustainable enterprise and its exp…

It's also completely false because they cited only Palestine-related hijackings, and not the parent article that goes back far further and proves they're lying.

This will always happen. There are just some entities that can't stand not seeking rent.

This will only result in the abuse of the populous by the powerful, not right or left. Right and left are illusions that are at best distractions from the powerful class asserting …

You're comparing apples to oranges. Claude is a frontend overall product name, GPT5.5 is a specific model. Which model within Claude's offerings are you referring to? Opus 4.7, Son…

Based on what? They haven't even IPOed.

Just curious, but what's the basis for this claim? I've heard it a lot. But I feel like this in itself is a political statement more than one rooted in sound facts.

Bringing up the highest-crime city as an example is using a well-known outlier tp prove a point. Is that valid in this context? I think Flock cameras are being used not just in hig…
