Media Matters regularly engage in libel, such as falsely accusing a politician of being interviewed by a white nationalist publication. [1] Not only are they incompetent, they're partisan and malicious. Not to mention the implications

Clinton's 2016 campaign had a deliberate strategy of elevating Trump at every opportunity, because they perceived him as easy to defeat. Through connections, her campaign staff sought to elevate his status and media coverage. All of th

This is really exciting stuff, they're so close to a one stop shop for DevOps, monitoring, serverless backend, file storage, data store and frontend asset serving. I feel it's now within reach to migrate one of my side projects, e

This looks like the kind of unprofessional scam that I'd expect from fraudsters Tether, who have repeatedly lied about banking relationships, reserves and otherwise. First step is "obsolete the banks". Lol. I wonder if this v

It costs less than $2,500 to file trademarks in the US, EU and UK which is plenty of coverage. OBS has received hundreds of thousands in funding, from YouTube, Twitch and Facebook as well as smaller patrons. Maybe $5,000 if you're talk

I don't think this is unreasonable. For juniors, often it takes 50-100+ applications to get a handful of interviews anyway. 460 jobs can easily be racked up over a 6-12 month timeframe of searching. Just look at cscareerquestions on re

I've participated in hiring at 3 billion-dollar tech companies. Nearly all of them I've seen happen, always under the cloak of wink wink nudge nudge.

The fact they were raided lends credence to the documents authenticity, so I am baffled that it happened. They chose not to publish because it's outlandish and has no proof. Now, it looks more genuine.

The ACLU has vigorously defended the KKK on civil rights grounds, which is admirable. If nobody defends the KKK, the steamroller of censorship and oppression will continue until it reaches something you care about.

This is a myth based on skewed data, by the way. This "net contributor" figure was reached by combining the wealthy Luxembourgian bankers who sometimes immigrate to countries with the thousands of people they offset. If there were

Europeans do have a higher average IQ than places like Sudan which has an average IQ in the 70 range. To put this in perspective, the US Army generally doesn't accept people below 85 IQ because they are ineffective in any position (yes

Because the US didn't have a giant welfare system when the 'floodgates' were open. Immigrants moved to New York or other places, and worked exceptionally hard to provide for themselves or were forced to return home. Now, they

I'd love to hear some anecdotes from SF residents. Do you see these gangs operating? How do people react? Have you had stores close near you due to theft?

Why is it okay to be paid $100,000 for the exact same job as your equivalent counterparts in the US make 3.5x for? That's millions if you save the majority for retirement. It could be the difference between nursing homes and an indepen

Healthcare isn't really a great argument. Aside from the low hanging argument that healthcare is covered or subsidized by most tech companies in the US, the cost of healthcare pales in comparison to the difference between $100k and $35

I don't buy it, US tech salaries continue to skyrocket and we're nearly two years into pandemic conditions. Just over the last 6-9 months, salaries have markedly jumped. There's still a huge thirst for talent that isn't

Cryptocurrencies are not anonymous, and fiat currency is no shining star. HSBC and other major banks launder money for the drug cartels at billion dollar scale. Rather than white collar crime like ransomware, drug cartels actually kill and

How does this disprove what I said? I said it WAS closed source. It's also not complete anymore, so I think it's still safe to call it closed source. If there's a single piece of closed source code running on the servers, it

I'd wager you cannot build a Telegram-tier frontend using Matrix technology. Element is evidence of that. Clearly there's an axis with security on one side and convenience on the other. Tilting fully to either side results in a te

You're probably right, I stand corrected. One extra point is that burn rate was likely a fraction of that figure for most of Telegram's history when it was much smaller. Telegram really only exploded to meteoric heights within the

You imply metadata like encrypted blobs and destinations isn't valuable to governments and law enforcement. This is very far from the truth. People are killed over metadata. An encrypted blob also isn't nothing. Encryption is not

Signal is similarly backrolled by wealthy benefactors from Whatsapp, so this "benevolence" is not unique. That doesn't mean you shouldn't be suspicious though, because Signal is a cautionary tale already (MobileCoin deba
