This just isn’t true, it is easy to find blatant corruption tied to politicians at all levels from both parties. Look at California, New York, Chicago, and Baltimore, look at the Biden family, the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, Letitia James, the

How did you feel about the Biden family’s blatant corruption? Do you really think that Hunter Biden was an amazing artist and brilliant corporate energy sector lawyer that is just falling on hard times now like the rest of us? It’s a weir

I suspect the plan was just to buy, merge, or partner with whatever company succeeded in self driving first. For a lot of startups, acquiring market share is the hard part, the technology is relatively easy. Obviously that’s not the case

In addition to the excellent points already made by others, some of it just comes down to the simple reality that some people are very poor performers in remote work settings. They should be dealt with individually on a case by case basis,

Uber bet incorrectly that we would have widespread self driving robo-taxis by now. The idea was to lose money gaining massive market share and then replace the human gig economy workers with AI.

Qwen refuses to do anything if you mention anything the CCP has deemed forbidden. Ask it about Tiananmen Square or the Uyghurs for example. Lack of censorship is not a strength of Chinese LLMs.

This ship sailed when everyone started carrying internet connected smart GPS devices in their pockets. Even before that cell phone tower triangulation has been a thing. I agree that it would be nice if our cars didn’t track us, but this i

This is why I never trust reviews from the official company website unless there are a sufficient number of negative reviews for some of their products. I don’t care what product it is, someone will have something negative to say about it.

We just kept the manuals for our most frequently played games on our computer desk. I don’t remember it being particularly burdensome, especially compared to the copy protection many games employ today. Plus, several games were designed t

Yes because the license key was easy to write down on a sticky note and provide it with the copied floppy disk. With this mechanism you either needed to have a copy of the entire manual, or at least all the answers to the questions it woul

My favorite copy protection scheme was where you needed to enter some text from the printed manual that came with the game. The disks were easy to copy but the manuals required significant effort. I also just really miss printed game manua

The problem for Microsoft is that the only reasons they have given users to upgrade to Windows 11 are Copilot, the visual overhaul, and the end of official support and security patches for Windows 10. None of these have been particularly p

Thank you, I hadn’t come across this news story yet! Believe it or not, I just double checked and it’s not in my Apple News feed at all. It sounds like there was a language barrier and he misidentified himself as being in the country illeg

Why are they terrible? I do not understand why people have a right to enter the country illegally and stay without consequences, nor why people should be able to assist them without consequences. What sane argument is there for that? Tha

Why are deportations of illegal immigrants bad? Come here legally and be properly vetted. The law is dead if states defy it by refusing to allow federal agents to enforce immigration law. This whole stance is absolute madness.

The lab leak hypothesis is by far the most likely explanation. The CCP is not a trustworthy actor, so their version of the events need to be taken with massive skepticism. Once you ignore their narrative and look at the actual facts, it

Other than politics why would you believe any other scenario to be more likely than the lab leak hypothesis at this point? It’s far too much of a coincidence that patient zero was in such close proximity to the WIV that studies and researc

The one thing that has always put me off of Ruby on Rails is the upgrade story. It looks like a massive pain to keep updated, and an even bigger pain to bring up to date if you don't stay on the update treadmill.

Why can’t people just buy Android phones that allow for this? They should change, not Apple and their users that like the walled garden.
