The only thing more cringe than the seething anger in this blog is the technical illiteracy revealed by an earnest belief that any of these attempts at "poisoning" will have any ne…

This is a straight up lie of a headline. The tax exemption was for SALES TAX on MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT for CONSTRUCTION, because those local purchases helped the local constructio…

Misleading title. The change in tech employment is worse, but actual tech employment remains high thanks to the massive 2021-2023 hiring spree.

Why not let Amazon take a stab at turning things around, then? It's better that they fail? I don't get it.

Now do the % of the time news content misrepresents the subject matter it is reporting on.

I wonder what they're going to do when the states mandating age verification for pornographic content start coming for them. Very similar to these dystopian foreign laws. But becau…

The systematic, public aspect of the killings and the fetishization of maximal pain and suffering is the fucked up part. Few societies ever where public delight in unthinkable crue…

My son, it is time for you to embrace the good news of our lord and savior web scraping.

The dot-com bubble was still very much a bubble even though the value creation potential of the internet was incomprehensibly immense
