Lutnick is not a good man. There’s also this, from https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA012492... “LUTNICK was a neighbor of JEFFREY EPSTEIN (EPSTEIN) in the adjoining property at 11 E 71st S

Howard Lutnick and his sons are surely happy about this. It’s almost like Howard Lutnick, the Secretary of Commerce , knew this would happen. His sons, at their firm Cantor Fitzgerald, have been offering a tariff refund product wherein the

What? You mean from American importers and therefore consumers? Foreign countries do not pay tariffs. This lie needs to stop.

Yep. Same exact trick that happened during COVID. Prices ratchet up but never down.

Thousands of newsworthy things happened yesterday. Which ones do you put on the front page? You don’t have to put a spin on the news to bias it. You just report or fail to report the news that goes or doesn’t go with your agenda.

How much time and energy does it take to hit the like button on a post? How much time and energy does it take to physically protest? The magnitude of dissent is legible in the mode of dissent. How ticked off must a guy be to go protest in n

I hate the CCP surveillance too. No state should have this close of an eye on its people. It’s anti-freedom.

Flock or their defenders will lock in on the excuse that “oh these are misconfigured” or “yeah hacking is illegal, only cops should have this data”. The issue is neither of the above. The issue is the collection and collation of this footag

Yes, exactly. “Well, the AI said to go arrest that guy, and I’ve been hearing for years that AI is super smart, so that must be the right thing to do.”

The issue is, a lot of people wouldn’t mind the sheriff knowing where their wife and daughter are at all times. What if one of them gets kidnapped? It would be good if law enforcement could track them. That’s the logic some people have …

If you've ever worked at a random Fortune 500 company and looked around the office at people whose pinned apps are "Outlook, Powerpoint, Excel", those are jobs that can easily be done if you're moderately smart and learn

It’s extremely damning of the state of this country that all of these short sellers have closed up shop. As Coffeezilla says, “crime is legal now”. You can’t use logic and reason to short a company when with a few million dollars that compa

Same here. I always refuse facial recognition when possible, but they had no problem using it on return from international travel. The systems aren’t linked (yet).

This is a fake AI generated article from an author who claims to have invented a new algebraic system that links math, AI, and information together. The algebra system is named after himself and his “paper” (on arXiv) has two references. Th

Does anyone know of any playbook that has had success in getting these shut down? Any way of getting the city’s money back partway through a contract? Seems most cities use the excuse of “well, we already sunk the cost, so we can’t remove t

Not good, thanks for sharing. Also different, however. One is a routine part of criminal investigations in which over 4 million people are swept up, while around 2000 were swept up in the linked article at the border. I’m not okay with even

“Among my clients, absolutely zero refuse [to give DNA], because for them, it’s an admission of guilt,” said Mr. Poitevin. What an absolute load of garbage. America has problems but at least we still believe in the right to say “f—— off, I’

This stinks - smells I mean. The timing is just too suspect. Kenvue price tanks upon admin comments that Tylenol is bad, suddenly Kenvue gets bought at a roughly $7 a share premium ($21) vs. the now-tanked price. Mergers take a long time so

Yes, this is one of my primary use cases for deep research right now. It will become garbage in a few short years once OpenAI starts selling influence / ads. I think they’ve started a bit with doing this but the recommendations still s

Damning which way, though? Are gambling taxes too high, or are corporate taxes too low? And since corporate income is surely higher than gambling income, I’m inclined to think that gambling taxes are too high AND corporate taxes are too low

I think your numbers are off by at least 10x, if not more. Ask a random American nowadays (not a tech worker) and I’d be shocked if more than 1/30 have even heard his name, let alone seen his face. 10 years ago I’d be shocked if it was
