I mostly use ThinkPads as Linux workstations, and I was not aware that this was a big issue.

The problem is food insecurity. People might not be dying, but children are growing up malnourished. That has serious long term effects. Food stamps and charity don't solve the root problem. And food insecurity could quickly turn in

They've been pretty direct about that these past couple of weeks.

As someone who works with big data, having gigabit at my home is phenomenal. With a full gig tunnel between the datacenter I connect to for work and my home (and only 1ms latency) it's pretty much like I'm plugged into the rack.

Look, you make a ton of valid points. If you like the walled garden, enjoy it. Thing is, Apple and Google both offer the exact same benefits. They approve what gets published, they listen to complaints, they control some aspects of how yo

No, it's absolutely a strawman. The exploitation billionaires create isn't direct. The problem is that Billionaires amass this wealth while people beneath them struggle. Jeff Bezos shouldn't be making 12-figure gains while

If I lived in Chattanooga, I'd undoubtedly subscribe to this, but I honestly don't even know what the actual value is of this. Pushing my download speed up above 900Mpbs is basically a novelty. The only thing I use that actually

The most hilarious part about Parler is that they ban "content posted by or on behalf of terrorist organizations", which seems reasonable at face value until you realize that the admins consider "Antifa" to be a terroris

What do you even do with that much bitcoin realistically? It's dirty, so any attempt to turn it into fiat puts you at risk of being found. Whoever had it refused to touch it for 7 years, likely because they knew it was a fast-track t

This is what we call anecdotal evidence.

I am getting a little annoyed when people do a basic Linux tutorial, but make it seem like some sort of incredible use of a Raspberry Pi. RTL-SDR stuff is pretty popular, but plugging one into an RPi just doesn't feel like much of an a

I've been using the same Brother MFC laser printer for like 10 years without a single issue, and the cartridges are cheap and last an incredible amount of time. I think the issue is that Inkjet printers suck.

This is one of those reasons I think that progressive social theory is so important. People are so quick to write people off as "SJWs" when they point out the small sexist or racist nuances that exist in the world, but those litt

I have seen too many journalists gain a reputation for one story, and then ride that reputation into the ground, and while I still have a lot of respect for Greenwald, I feel like that's what I'm watching happen with him right now

$7M might as well be $0. That's not "small scale", it's basically non-existent.

You mean the racial tensions related to 10% of white settlers owning 90% of the real estate? Being a thief is a hazard to one's health, yes.

If you think locking the account was a political decision, you're paranoid and wrong. They broke the rules on publishing hacked materials. They openly did this despite the rules. You want them exempted from the rules on political gro

Ideally, private ownership of societally critical ownership wouldn't be legal. But America is a capitalist country, and Twitter owns their platform and has free speech by law. And the equivocation of a tabloid to a utility company is

You are describing the abridging private organizations' right to free speech by congress... Twitter isn't the government, and they don't control speech anywhere but on the platform that they own. They could ban the American

"The false conclusion I jumped to is someone else's fault for giving me too little information" That's a terrible excuse. Lack of information isn't the same as misinformation.

The word you're looking for to describe the situation you're in is "capitalism". Nobody wants to be "low-status". That's a terrible narrative. All that's being illustrated here is that being low-sta

Yeah, but in the end you still have something that is considered silly and insignificant, so there's still an uphill battle to success.

"I never predicted that anyone I know would become extremely successful. I guess successful people can be predicted by observing how unsuccessful they look right now". Kinda disheartening to see obvious survivorship bias elevated

I've bought and sold maybe $750,000 crypto in my life (and profited!), and while holding coin I've never been able to find a legitimate use for it that didn't seem like a novelty (Shop at [existing store], but with Bitcoin!).

It's not just about the reviews. People make careers out of reviewing products. Legal complaints can lead to people be demonetized or deplatformed entirely. For PA to risk ruining other people's careers (for being honest!) just

Legality isn't my concern. It's intent. Their intent is to prevent their customers and potential customers from hearing criticisms of their products. That alone is enough to make me never do business with them again. Legality me

At this point in the game, how could anyone ever think that this was a good idea? Palo Alto Networks is already on my blacklist because of how badly their products perform in production. This makes it hard for me to ever consider them aga

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequence. If I sell you a bar of lead painted gold, and tell you that it's solid gold, I can still be held responsible for fraud. My words would constitute a crime. Now, if I told you ex
