EU pissed off Russia when Russia invaded Ukraine? I have read that narrative before, in fact it was just a few days ago when Trump lied that he will be forced to take Greenland because Denmark and Norway is pissing him off by withholding th

I think there is no significant disagreement between the two of us, perhaps only on the topic of intentionality of things and degrees of involvement. A gun has the intent of projecting violence at a distance. No matter if it is used within

I consciously used the word ”produce” rather than ”develop” or ”invent” to try to be clear that I meant ”[produce] from a factory”.

Palantir reminds me of IBM 85 years ago, only following requirements and requests from the government, never an accomplice. Extracting shareholder value from human suffering should not be criticised because the effect is one step removed fr

Do you have any specifics about the implementation that makes you say that the engineers have not considered this?

Less scenic, sure. But still beautiful. I would rather they not have to be built in the first place. Yet, this is unfortunately the price we must pay today for not reducing our carbon emissions yesterday. Had we taken a serious effort to do

I want to hazard a guess that a motivational manager is just like a well-oiled cog in a machine. You essentially never notice them as having influence over your motivation and only pay attention to the squeaky and rattling and faulty ones.

Webp can be really annoying once you hit certain encoding edge cases. One customer of mine (fashion) has over 700k images in their DAM, and about 0.5% cannot be converted to webp at all using libwebp. They can without problem be converted t
