The biggest change to me the acceptability of falsehoods on the left. It is a battle they will not win.

It's a lagging indicator meant to credit or discredit administrations for past administrations' actions, handpicked to obfuscate cycle capture. CES is backward-looking by definition, so it is being abused here. Also think of ave

The Challenger report contains large companies' announced future cuts. Not government, not small and medium business, not actual job losses. So neither, really.

Chicken Little already told us. Armageddon is also coming, don't forget about that. JOLTS data for January 2026 has been delayed, but don't expect those tea leaves to change your opinion about what the future holds.

I think the wrong burdens of proof are being used. "Reasonable suspicion" should be used for investigations.

India and Sweden don't have US-elite-level institutions governed by the admissions processes you discuss. KTH is not Harvard, and KI is not HMS. There are American universities with such processes, and enough students admitted under th

You mean bans on recent industry affiliation and cooling-off periods? Like the recent federal vaccine committee (ACIP) under Trump? If I understand correctly, the current ACIP members have pretty good insulation from the vaccine industry. I

We have a statutory office within the US Department of Defense meant to track UFOs (AARO).[1] Why would such things be sending electromagnetic signals from outer space? Literally thousands of witnesses. It's very odd to say "alien

Looking at Tech Dirt's related articles from 2007, I cannot find any articles about "Bush's FCC" implementing the open platform regulations in question.[1] The problem is that Obama's FCC did nothing (also not discu

I don't think there's anything comparable to it. With all the topics people write books on over and over, how is this still unique?

The prime age (25-54 years old) labor force participation rate disagrees.[1] It's almost the highest it's ever been and steady. [1] https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS11300060

by esbranson 9mo ago
Correct. The prime age labor force participation rate is 0.8% lower than the all-time record highest in recorded US history, January 1999.

It never has. The labor force participation rate for 25-54 year-olds is a better metric for such things.[1] Last time it was this high was 1990s through 2002. (Before that, it was never this high.) [1] https://fred.stlouisfed.org

PACER is currently a "lesser concern" because of FLP, compared to state court dockets in backwards states like California and New York (affecting some 60 million people alone), though by no means solved. And if by discouraging you

If you're trying to fix anything relating to public policy, politics, &c., without fixing this you are wasting your time. You will make a bigger difference adopting a local stretch of highway and picking up litter. It is maddening

Cool. Having major distributions default to using binfmt_misc to register Wine for PE executables (EXE files) would be nice though. Next steps would obviously be for Windows apps to have their own OS-level identity, confined and permissione

As for Encrypted Client Hello (ECH), the next step in privacy, I think the issue has been with the web servers. NGINX began supporting it a few days ago? Chromium and even Cloudflare supported it since 2023.
