i actually don't think you can tell immediately at all. Being an expert at a thing and also being a good communicator or teacher of that thing is absolutely not the same thing. One…

thats not the verdict. Thats the sentencing decision, which just goes into a separate Judge's sentencing hearing and decisions on that.

No, I'm saying is that you fundamentally don't understand what "Luddism" even is or was at any point. Let me be clear. The the term "Luddite" is completely made up. The group it wa…

What about this is unique to Palantir at all? As far as I'm aware, there are many, many more companies deeply embedded with the US intelligence community and law enforcement and Pa…

"Neo-luddite" is thrown around by people who don't actually know history and just eat up terminology that was spoonfed to them for a purpose. FYI, the luddite movement wasn't some …

Pretending the ADL is some neutral apolitical research body of experts on antisemitism is absolutely ridiculous in 2026. Come on. They aren't any more a useful source on this then …

Re-read the beginning of the First Amendment, because it's such a common mistake that I'm surprised people still make it: "Congress shall make no laws ... " The first amendment bar…

Yeah you've completely misread this. The phrase "not being a team player" is a euphemism for someone not willing to do dubiously unethical or illegal (or things that go against int…

Why are you withholding the name of the webmail provider? Literally the only thing even remotely pressuring these firms to implement better security is bad PR (and it barely does t…

Im confused by the supposed poor definitions of the bill that people keep pointing out. Doesn't the escape-hatch provided in the "systemic vulnerabilities" definition clearly signa…

What a completely asinine post. I'm sick of seemingly smart people in the technical world think they are being so clever by trying to literally rehash the continuum fallacy. You he…

Which also means that he wasn't doing his job (management) and instead micromanaging his staff by doing their job. This is such a common problem with highly technical managers beca…

Jesus christ this is pedantic. You do understand that not all statements can be universally distilled to true or false right? That there's nuance and opinion here right?

Yeah except you're completely misunderstanding their criticism of this entire thing. This has nothing to do with "lack of knowledge" and everything to do with criticising the premi…

Talk about a complete non-issue. The amount that this actually happens beyond the anecdotes of a few reactionary people listening to to many JRE podcasts is near zero. Besides, mos…

and in fairness to the mobile devices thing of abstracting file systems, when it comes to discoverability and organizing files or documents, a rigid hierarchy of nested sub-folders…

Given this is a UI-focused repo, you really should be including some videos/gifs or at least some static images in your readme without having to run the demo. Like, I just dont get…

It's because acompany promise is useless without actual enforced regulation which is harsh enough to actually add trust in such a contractual agreement being honoured. This is how …

People "don't care" because they do not understand the implications or the technology, not because they genuinely have no interest in privacy. Of course its easy to dupe people wit…

Yeah this is where I think government-regulation would actually be a solid-fit to try and govern some of this manipulative and unfair practices. There just needs to be a blanket-la…

Please look up the difference between private property and personal property. When people decry "property is theft", they're not talking about personal property, they're talking ab…

i dont get this blindspot by lots of developers parroting this uber technocratic nonsense. There's no such thing as some apolitical, objectively best approach to a technical proble…

Who currently gets fired due to engineering malpractice? It would be the same thing if there was actual certifications and engineering sign-offs in cybersecurity or other critical …

What? The author isn't claiming they were abused or a victim of abuse. Abuse is only mentioned through one specific story, which was from a friend: > In one case, GPS was used to f…

Calling this an issue of resiliency is completely missing the point about autism. I recommend you do some more reading because it has nothing to do with resiliency. People on the s…
