    I have a manager who does the "teaching" thing poorly. If you're making a request in the form of a question, fine. But if you're trying to make me THINK, fuck off.

    But it will be bar policy to have your name/address/email info or their reader won’t authenticate you.

    Or there’s cases like WMDs or “Assad gassed his own people” which are outright frauds coming from the establishment who determines what is factual.

    It becomes an issue when people do try to start their own networks, those networks get smeared and service providers (credit cards, hosting, dns) start cutting them off.

    I don’t like the “unbanked” basis for these anti cashless arguments because they’ll just solve that problem.

    No they intentionally put those sources higher in the results even when there’s more popular content below it. They get extra priority as they’re deemed “authoritative sources.” So…

    google also has a definite opinion on news, politics and other controversial topics which will get worse and worse during election years or during times of war.

    What if Rachel Maddow had a source inside the IRS who's trying to get at a folder that has trump tax returns and other financial details but doesn't have access. Source says they c…

    Using national numbers isn't really useful. The case study of the $50k ironworker in Seattle is well below the median for that city which has a median income of $80k.

    Jesus Christ, if you want to put up one of those buildings you'd have to pay the existing renters over 3.5 years rent.

    The author also makes a few contradictions. They need less surveillance because there's more "eyes" on the ground, and yet the biggest walkable cities that come to mind, nyc and Lo…
