people are missing the 3rd actor in this trifecta/shit sandwich - Israel. Its the intentional bad faith actor who'll do whatever it takes to sink any peace talks - including genoci…

So much for freedom of speech in US Universities. Israel dictates what is forbidden/permitted on US campuses now?

This coupled with the hot mike incident yesterday where Trump was saying how El Salvador needed to build more mega prisons for the "home grown..terrorists" is beyond concerning. Su…

Once again, Private Equity is the driving force behind this new scam.

My favorite comment from the article was from the Hollywood/media exec lamenting that what IA was doing was 'theft'. Didn't Hollywood come about from people trying to outrun Edison…

I wonder the same thing. It had a lot of 'renegade cool kid' energy early on, I suspect this was done on purpose. However, if you look at the investors, and people working on the p…

From a Libertarian perspective why would we not: 1) have Congress+FDIC... This made me chuckle. I thought Libertarians want gov _out_ of their lives. :)

oh look. Some techbro billionaire fretting about his billions. Why is this news? What's next, an indepth look at finding 'just the right bunker' for the apocalypse. I mean, yeah a …

If you are in the US - public libraries are a wonderful resource for kids to visit.

Yeah, I'm not going to base the idea that "inequality is OK" by someone from the federalist society. That's like asking an arsonist if fire is good. I'd argue that the lower class …

The creation of a whole new federal branch - "homeland security" was created under BushII. Cushy federal jobs with pensions all funded off that sweet sweet defense budget. So now a…

We talk about insurance killing the medical field, but I'd also argue that EMR companies are doing a number on the profession as well. Have you seen the Epic campus? Epic - located…

I agree 100% with ICANN's position in this matter. I think their reply was level headed and correct.

I should have clarified NSO group. They are an Israeli company with many ex members of Israeli NSA (whatever it's called).

You can't catch obesity from someone coughing in the same room as you. But to extrapolate further: Sugar taxes have been tried in countries - Mexico for one. I think there was mass…

Teams is garbage, every time I use it I loathe computing in general.

Um, they kind of are? Or at least think they are? Any sort of international pressure is met with cries of 'anti-semitism' which quickly shuts down anyone. It is used to combat the …

Interesting - I wasn't aware of this.

I find this viewpoint exceedingly arrogant. That you somehow know what's best in the case of a novel global pandemic?

I'm surprised by the hand wringing angst at this "unproductive member of society". The article was a lark - a bit of exposition on thinking about things differently. Does the autho…

you just described HTC Condor! Not the parallel part per se.. https://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/
