If you're still trying to shame the shameless in 2026 then you missed the past decade IMO. The likes of Pichai can afford to ignore the 10% that walked out, frankly they can afford to ignore far more than that and have to great success

When you consider how much of those "gifts" were required to be spent in the US and on US goods, it's much much more in the case of Iran. Granted this money isn't coming from the US, but the Gulf states.

That assumes that the real purpose of these movements is to achieve their stated goals, rather than as a social activity for people of a certain mindset. If you look at it more like a church outing it makes a lot more sense, albeit the chur

Seven years of this insufferable brand of "Oh it's so dangerous, I sure hope no one gives us a ton of money and takes us seriously" marketing and people are still falling for it at scale.

Retail investors are currently being set up to hold that bag, and presumably the companies themselves will get government bailouts, so the taxpayer gets hit coming and going. It's not even subtle at this point, what with the attempt at

Yes I appreciate their... stated aims. I'm a bit of cynic though, so I prefer revealed preferences to declared ones when I'm judging people.

Fighting over that patch is one of the older continuous activities of the species, and while anything is possible, I would never bet in favor of MENA peace.

They literally bombed Iran themselves in the midst of a ceasefire, they also are on record pushing to finish Iran off. It just doesn’t get as much coverage as anything with Israel in the headline. I.E. https://apnews.com/art

Along these lines, but with a bit more: Israel definitely wanted us to do this, but they've been trying to sell US presidents on this for decades without success. MBS and the Saudis also want this, but you rarely read about that in the

It’s fantastic, and also lets you track exactly who leaked your email.

It's basically 'Don't Look Up' at this point, stripped of all metaphor and potential to entertain.

Seriously, they’re trying to justify trillion+ IPO’s while setting piles of money on fire, prices aren’t going DOWN.

I'm not saying that he isn't, I'm saying that when we have STRONG evidence of his sexual assault of adults, and dozens of other felonies, we don't need to focus on the one for which no proof exists despite extensive atte

The position of the website the blog links to and references makes a clear statement that Stallman has been framed and "cancelled"... not that he's as guilty as people like Gates.

I can't speak for Trump, but yes many of his friends are. As for Trump whether or not you believe he abused children, we know that was found civilly liable for sexually assaulting at least one person and is accused of much more. None

They all appear to be links back to the blog itself or said support site. Speaking for myself I don't need a messiah figure to support elements of FOSS, and I don't need Stallman to be a decent or functional human being to have ma

It doesn't stop working of course, but people who are already paying heroic percentages of their income to fund it are generally wary of new projects being added to the tab.

I think creating a social network to compete with the likes of FB is going to be a hard problem, especially with the insane network effects of existing social media. I won't pretend that the server farms will somehow be prohibitively e

Do people in the EU want to see their tax money used for that purpose rather than other far more pressing needs such as healthcare? I really doubt it.

It's almost as though they want to be the government making the rules, rather than sitting back and letting the likes of META do whatever they want. The imperfect approach comes down to the reality of politics.

It’s a desperate attempt by people who understand that identifying huge problems in the easy part. So much of life is just people thinking that by identifying the problem they’re 99% of the way to fixing it. But apply this to something you

You’re correct! My mother had just such a study a few years ago and it was utterly convenient.

Rationalists struggle to understand just how irrational people are at scale. In fact they think up these big utopian plans as a way to reinforce the notion that we’re just one good rationalist away from paradise. Edit spelling

Interestingly it sounds like an incoming bolide, not unlike what happened in MA today.

In order: In 1965. So much has changed since, especially when it comes to accountability and tracking of nuclear material and waste. Yes in theory, no in practice the attempt to do so would probably require a state sponsor. Now you have US

When it comes to stories involving intelligence agencies I generally assume that I’m not getting the whole or accurate story.

Oh yeah, you'd definitely want the TRUMP administration in control of what we all get to express and who we can associate with. As miserable as this admin is, it's also a great example of why some powers shouldn't be in the
