I can see the argument for Hong Kong. I don't agree, really, but I can understand it. Under the strictest of definitions, perhaps it isn't. But Taiwan is very obviously a totally separate country no matter what fictions anyone emp

Look. I think the Chinese AI companies are doing a lot of good. I'm glad they exist. I'm glad they're relatively advanced. I don't think the entire nation of China is a bunch of villains. I don't think the US, even

This is a statement you can make. It's also a statement entirely divorced from reality when you look at the fact that those winning candidates are not in fact doing that, and neither are the candidates that are getting the most nationa

This article is pretty disingenuous in the parts where it focuses on topology. CAD files are imported all the time into CG software with awful topology - looking very similar to that mess. There's lots of software and tooling, automa

Except it wasn't a production endpoint and there's no actual security risk in having source maps available. It's more annoying to read source code that has been minified, but if a security professional tells you that minifyin

And you're still trying to compare mechanisms that exist within the system and are codified with someone attempting to operate entirely outside of it. And no, they weren't far closer at achieving their goal - they didn't get

Calling it partially successful when Clinton lost more electoral votes to faithless electors than Trump did and it had zero impact on the outcome of the election is interesting. But no, because electors deciding how they cast their votes is

It is a transparent attempt to specifically engender empathy while also leaving out the relevant details about what she did to get shot. If you were including the full details, I would say nothing. When you leave out the single most importa

I have some sympathy, but not nearly as much. In one case, we have a person in their home town, caught up in a situation that was not of her own making. Babbitt directly put herself in the situation of traveling to the capital, breaking in

It was explicitly an attempt to influence Pence or congress to not certify the election results, attempting to allow Trump to use his fake electors to change the results in his favor. It was a naked attempt to change the outcome of the elec

If we want to include additional details, perhaps add the ones that explain why she was shot (Violently breaking into an area being secured by capitol police that directly lead to the congresscritters) and not irrelevant ones like her statu

Have you read or watched/listened to his entire speech? I genuinely do not believe any reasonable human being can look at just the speech in context - much less his statements surrounding it in the months leading up - and argue that he

Mark draws some parallels between Amazon and some other tech companies that he believes have suffered from the same phenomenon - Apple with Jobs and Cook among them, along with Gates and Balmer, Disney, etc.

Thanks. I'll admit I'm pretty surprised - my understanding is this sort of thing usually is a much bigger deal when it comes to fucking with things that impact FDA decisions, etc., so them publicly flouting it is pretty crazy to m

So all the trafficking was occurring just for Epstein himself? C'mon.

I'll note that calling it the gray market really is people uncomfortable with the idea of buying drugs from a drug dealer trying to find a way to make this more palatable. That's not a judgment thing on my part - I've got a f

If they're not losing weight they're not restricting calories. Energy has to come from somewhere. They explicitly controlled for all of this.

I believe that in a vacuum, any human being on the planet can lose weight. I also believe that we don't live in a vacuum and context matters. The fact that we consistently see people who have a lifetime of being a healthy weight gain s

I don't have enough information to answer that or the time to research it, and indeed, this is part of my point. And thus why I'm writing the whole lot of them off it looks like they had real interaction with Epstein.

It's very easy to believe that Epstein cultivated a massive quantity of relationships with any sort of rich, famous, influential, or powerful person he could. It's very easy to believe that many of them, for much of his existence,

Dangerous to use if you have any cancerous or pre-cancerous growths in your body, though. We know they love VEGF, and BPC-157/PDA majorly amp it up.
