    The fact the list ends at 2 women who were already named, when the men involved number in the hundreds and are still being protected, kind of ruins your point…

    To be clear, you want me to articulate a point that you fabricated and then attributed to me? I think I’m going to pass, but feel free to continue the discussion with yourself abou…

    The world would almost assuredly be a better place if 14 year olds were looking at playboy magazines instead of having easy access to every fetish under the sun. It has distorted m…

    No, not all. I can only assume you've never even taken an entry level poli sci course, because socialism has never required COMPLETE ownership by the state. Furthermore, as I linke…

    Correct, it was absorbed by crypto bros. And now many of them are attempting to offload to AI. Ban crypto datacenters and there’s plenty of additional capacity available. There’s a…

    State ownership of companies is LITERALLY the definition of socialism. > a theory or system of social organization that advocates the ownership and control of the means of producti…

    China doubled down, what on earth are you talking about? Every major corporation in China has a party member in a position of power to direct what the company does. And many of the…

    Given that after the advent of virtualization we had a glut of datacenter space, and then the crypto bros started buying them up to mine: do we actually need more datacenters? Or d…

    How is that “a problem with FIPS?” In layman’s terms that basically says if there’s a 0-day, patch first and we’ll worry about validation later. You could say that’s “an issue” wit…

    Joyent was founded in 2004. Bryan joined in 2014 - I doubt he had much, if any, say in the sale proceeding or not.

    Minimal cost? We’re at about a billion dollars per primary target and rising. Not to mention north of 250 US casualties. I’d hardly call that minimal cost. Our ability to defend ou…

    If I can reinvest my profits to grow my business or pay most of it out in taxes I’m probably reinvesting it if there’s a long term gain to be had. Unlike trickle down economics, it…

    Which again, is completely different than giving access to every human being on the planet, then trying to figure out how to regulate it later. Out of the gate access was restricte…

    The bomb was literally developed under a top secret program, and they didn’t hand out functioning bombs to the general public at any point in time before “the destruction was seen”…

    Comparing it to fire isn’t really an apt comparison. You developed the nuclear bomb. Would you give free access to every human on the planet to do with it as they see fit? Or would…

    Which is why they pumped fracking waste water into deep aquifers, because it wasn’t “economically viable” to pull that water out of the ground. Fast forward a decade and people are…
