There's an great photo of Pam Bondi avoiding looking at all the Epstein victims when they raise their hands to indicate that they have not been contacted by the Justice Department …

I also just read the timeline of followed accounts, and even a list of 'must-reads' for the high-value people, but I'm also aware that this isn't the way other people liked to use …

Society can't function when people aren't allowed to make their own choices. Why can't they choose political activism? What on earth binds them to a corporate entity and over-rides…

It's token prediction, not reasoning. You can simulate reasoning, but it's not the same thing - there is not an internal representation of reality in there anywhere

You used to be able (specific countries only) get an automatic visa on entry. There were people active in the San Francisco startup scene from multiple countries who would go for a…

HN1: "Let people enjoy whatever they enjoy" HN2-100: HN1: "Not like that"

No government has a money burning problem. They have expensive service delivery problems. I mean, if you're upset about government spending on tech, you better sit down before some…

It's a useful shared illusion, but not 'real' once you reach a certain level of meditative concentration. If you look at a bicycle wheel in motion, you don't see the spokes. If you…

The question nobody else has been able to answer is "What is a satisfactory analysis for these purposes?" The closest I've seen to an answer is to remove accidental deaths (eg, hit…

Not necessarily. You're joining 'mutual action to protect workers' with 'minutiae of internal processes are done the same as other unionized industries did them 50 years ago'. It's…

From my experience, I can highly recommend: * daily meditation practice, with a serious meditation tradition. * fortnightly therapist appointment, weekly if you're running hot at a…

How about: “Actors in this geopolitical region are killing people and destroying infrastructure, and I am going to do everything in my power to disrupt them” “If more people stood …

Three books that you should read, and why they will help you at this point: 1. High Output Management, Andy Grove - Explains management from first principles in a very engineering …

You can disagree with Apple's policies, or the principles and reasoning of others. And I'm sure some of those people are these mythical, awful virtue-signalling hypocrites that peo…

This is such a weird and obtuse way to look at human relations, and as a dog person it's so weird to see this alien take on a pretty common part of culture. I'm guessing 'certain f…

You have an implicit model of how radicalization works which is out of sync with the model others are applying. The counterexample is that, when racist/fascist/white supremacist co…

> Cloudflare would have been in a better position to actually change 8chan if they had kept them on and pressured them I call bullshit. What plan do you have in mind for _Cloudflar…

There's a few issues in play: (1) the content of the story, (2) the presentation of the story, (3) the intent to mislead. You've focused on 1 and then used 2 against critics: 'smea…

Could you define what you mean by "fringe", "globalist" and "progressive" here?

> This happens all the time. That doesn't make it less scary or dysfunctional. It undermines the health of politics and society when this is acceptable behaviour.

That's a cynical position, and tends to be correct! A real one does have a _huge_ effect on the culture of the organisation, above and beyond what is achievable otherwise. I've see…
