(Chugs 4 beers) OK, so. So, it's like you mixed together Pacific Rim, Dark City and The Matrix all into the same show. In that order.

I know a gal whose grandmother sent ~400k to scammers, which is the kind of victim they are looking for - someone in cognitive decline who is malleable. The neighbors apparently also were preying on her, and ended up with her cars and a bu

Blue as they come (Illinois). And on the contrary, I reckon Ohio is far more racist than just about any place I've been. Black folks are just fine by me. Maybe you are trying to read between the lines instead of what I wrote?

By any number of metrics, Mississippi is the least developed, most backwater state. My own personal metrics: Everyone's got that once racist uncle. Mine moved gleefully to Alabama. I have never known anyone who moved to Mississippi.

Big tech seems all about the fluff. But, wasn't it always so? Wasn't it always so in business of all kinds? Why should we expect anything different? We should have been skeptical all along.

Ironically, the Old Testament - which a lot of these folks admire in various ways - God was perfectly comfortable killing babies as long as they were the wrong kind of babies.

I am not a SWE, although I wrote a lot of code for ~5 years as a release engineer/devops guy. Start at the bottom, at first, say yes to things. AI cannot say yes to things. It sucks at solving problems. It is good at vomiting up pre-

Probably not. And while there's some angle which it's fair to claim she's Biden v2, much of what my friend was sending me was edited clips making her seem like she was babbling nonsense (like the left does with Trump, except

I would describe the difference as being between broadcast and 24 hour cable news. The latter will always be what it is, the former (although not quite what it used to be) is much less rage baity. The news has always been, "if it blee

Jeanine Pirro likes to talk about Treason for example. When Trump is accused of it, her background as a lawyer kicks in and she can correctly articulate the reasons why Trump has not committed Treason. However, in any other case she will ac

I have one conservative friend who insists she is stupid and has none of her own opinions (just a mini-Biden). Mind boggling indeed.

Asking to borrow someone's phone is a common theft tactic. I wouldn't do it, for fear of someone thinking you're up to no good. Burners / prepaid SIM's are still a thing.

Just checked my T-Mobile privacy settings. I had most everything turned off, but then I saw a few were turned on (such as my opt-out marketing settings). Opting out of everything took 2 tries to have them all disabled (sludge). This one w

In fact the problem of the "never ending September" has evolved into, "the never ending barrage of Septemberbots and AI vacuum bots". The horrors of the 1990's internet is quaint by comparison to the society level p

There's a strong possibility. He's a cult of personality, and really doesn't believe in the values of either party. The Republican establishment loves him, because he gets people out to vote, and he'll push their agend

Totally possible. This is why stun guns and tasers are referred to as "less lethal" by some instead of non-lethal. Lots of electricity will occasionally stop someone's heart, and they die.

Trump will be gone in 3 years, dead or degraded into a bowl of racist jello. It seems clear that the plan is to game the system as much as possible before then so Republicans never have to win an election again. If they can do that, they d

You could say "moneyed interests". There is a distinction - there are both huge companies and billionaires, and a lot of the companies are owned in part or in whole by the billionaires. But together, they increasingly determine

The film and music industries really shot themselves in the foot when they got a tax on recordable media introduced in Canada. OK, CD-R's and flash memory cost a bunch more now. Streaming is legal, because customers already paid the r

The streaming services are relying on enforcement to preserve their business model. This only works as long as there's no other nations with significant digital infrastructure that can be used for VPN egress points who don't care

Totally agree. I did a lot of work with an eCom site (a big one; you probably see their brand name daily) for about 5 years and latency mattered a lot to them. Any extra latency was deadly, and they freaked out about latency going up by 1

We need a wiki of guides like this. I am dreading when my diesel golf dies. (Of course, I can probably get away with buying low miles ICE cars for some decades after)
