I truly was, and it's was hilarious. California/Silicon Valley has a big issue of absolutely belief they are right. Big tech companies want to stop "disinformation" by banning people from their platforms. A recent case i

There has to be more to the story here. With the law starting in 2006, why are authorities just now going after these bars? Did something specific start this, or is it just the growing authoritarianism that comes with these endlessly long n

Readers from other countries, what is it like there? I remember when I lived in Australia, my friends told me that many crimes do not show up on background checks after 5 years. Also in Australia, the sex offender registry is confidential,

Interesting. Is there already a Gitter->Matrix bridge, and that would essentially be going away once Gitter fully supports Matrix? It seems like they're not changing Gitter to talk Matrix, but actually switching the backend to be Ma

I think we'll see more low/mid scaled jobs. Capitalism is about continually innovating. The problems of course, are the finite set of resources, and the fact that you can't have infinite growth. We need to businesses around r

This is the new narrative and it's pretty misconstrued. Have you read any of the "long term" effect studies? They're almost all case studies on very specific people. The UK study published out of Charlottesville has 60+

And also, no one is reporting the number of test iterations that are being used for each positive result. There are people with very low viral loads, who are not contagious, that test positive. If you run a RT-PCT enough times, you can gene

This post will pretty quickly fall off the front page. Political and controversial posts often do. If you find one, be glad. Look at it closely. Look how many comments are in the grey. There is a lot of controversy. Always scroll to the bot

Wikipedia is not a good source for anything remotely controversial at this time. One of the founders did a great post on it: https://larrysanger.org/2020/05/wikipedia-is-badly-biased/ If you do read Wikipedia

NGOs typically do a lot of harm. They're the means by which high income countries enforce policies that keep developing countries in debt to them, in order to extract resources. The 2011 book "The Dictator's Handbook" do

I feel like this article makes a lot of good points, but can easily leave out the section "The politics of labels". It's trying to draw a political comparison from the dynamic world of human interactions, into the cold determ

Most Americans still believe in America. Despite what the rage media would tell us, most Americas still have a national identity. Support for succession of any state is very low. California is also two states. The West coast is super left,
