Write your blog - be the Internet content you want to see. I keep one, it's focused, highly obscure, and a boring but nerdy niche interest that depends on a lot of research into materials mostly out of print. I share what I learn as I

Meanwhile on twitter today there are plenty of right-wing people (even in like top 50 twitter accounts like Catturd) complaining of no pay-out and that this is evidence the system is still strongly tilted to favoring the left. Two movies, o

I'm guessing they're financially healthier on the opex side of things than they've ever been. I mean, they've never been profitable, the revenue loss was reactionary and it's not crazy to think that will come back a

It's the experience of being responsible for a broader whole. Hard decisions are required in that context. It all seems simple from the outside - I know because I've been there too.

Maybe we're talking past each other - the government did not commandeer or nationalize these companies as part of its emergency declaration, and so the government's ability to direct actions at an organization in those circumsta

I'm not sure why this needs to be said, but "you" in this context is conceptually an abstraction of the private citizen. Maybe @shadowgovt the individual never says a word that the establishment would disapprove of, but don&#

But the Court is not muzzling the government in the sense of prohibiting their public message. The court is enjoining their method of influencing public debate - that they were/are preventing what you say from being published based o

by aksss 3y ago
It’s one thing to officially commandeer media outlets during an emergency. That’s in-bounds. That’s not what happened here and therefore not what the debate is about.

There are a lot of parallels there - people with a very pro-state bent try to invert what is meant by “the people” in the Constitution. It truly is a phenomenon in the gun rights debate. For decades we’ve heard that “the people” in 2A does

It would be harder for the government to censor speech if their were more diverse venues for speech, yes. But the real issue - the matter before the Court - is whether the government is abusing its power by directing the venues to stifle on

To be clear we’re not talking about the government speaking freely. They do so and with seeming impunity for bs relative to their position of authority. We’re talking about the government coercively censoring speech of citizens in/on t

Yeah, guilty of not reading article detail, was assuming their net was landmark, and no, not assuming revenue is impacted by reduced expense. Also assumed pay freeze was presently in effect, meaning immediate cost avoidance and predictable

It was a landmark year in part due to freezing pay. I don’t know, everyone likes more money, but having been in leadership positions and now being an owner it’s not as simple as most “individual contributors” tend to imagine. For non-trade&

This title sounds like, “How writers can survive-and thrive-in a spell-check world”. I imagine it will sound absurd to you in time if it doesn’t already.

Lots of very high quality forums out there for very niche interests. It’s kind of dark forest theory though.

I like loose coupling. The car or bike computer handles crash detection and uses phone for its communications (calling or texting). The reality though is that the phone is the bike computer or functionally the car CMU for a lot of people.

Been there, done that. Why would you think that has yet to start? Never had a problem with the phone auto-dialing 911 in this scenario personally. Maybe a difference is that people in the pit are more likely to have phone in pocket, whereas

by aksss 3y ago
My 2012 F150 behaves this way (supposedly) - the truck will try to call 911 using your BT-connected phone in the event of a crash. I’ve assumed that’s how GM cars with Onstar worked too, using their built in cell connection.
