If you believe what it says. Wouldn't be the first time someone in this administration (or Washington) lied about where money went. I was wondering if I created an LLC called Chump and branded it like Trump's campaign if they woul

Is the suggestion that Porn creates this dominant male patriarchal society through its influence? That's kinda cart before the horse IMO. I think it hard to think of objectification without the fashion that is often the wrapper in the

Yup. No moderation on Facebook but straightforward censorship on schools. Welcome to our 3rd world autocracy.

I heard lithium too. I assumed this was the reasoning with the tariff plans, but since that just turned out to be market manipulation by the president to cover all his legal fees, I assumed we would stop talking about Greenland...

This reasoning should make us all sick. Consumers are asking to not have it but apparently the products aren't for the people who buy them. The markets have broken the core tenets of capitalism and led to dissatisfied consumers with no

Isn't being raped in prison the only real deterrent to committing crimes? Sure prison is bad, but doing time is a badge of honor for hardened criminals. Being raped, not so much. We put gay male rapists in all male prisons so a trans f

Many things about human brains are different than other primates. Our ability for language being most prominent. Many things are not different, however. Alpha seeking and advantage seeking behavior lead to tribalist behaviors seen in many p

I took this to be more about Alabama having 1/30th the population and a similar number of patents. The Soviet Union was 1/6th of the Earth and Alabama is less than 1/100th the size. If rural bias were to be involved in the ch

You assume they care about the people and underestimate the desperation of those employees. This is slave labor and it's what US developers are up against. This is why under Trump we've seen 100k layoffs in Tech this year.

AI generated recruits are a fiction. That's not to say there aren't fake or bait and switch recruits but this idea makes no sense. Some background. I'm a senior developer who has performed hundreds of interviews and seen doze

Don't forget, serving the desires of consumers is passe too. The billionaire overlords understand that the workers are consumers too. If the goods please them they will be less miserable!

I believe Apple could be a Korean or Irish company. If I were Tim Cook, I would be looking to uproot the company to avoid dealing with a micromanaging government. It's not worth it.

This raises a fundamental question about the role of Art in society. If I want to see all the content in this film I will have to watch it the rest of my life. This is great if I'm making money off of the content but terrible if I&#x27

Someone else made the point that ads cost money, so this isn't about free speech. I guess making advertising free would be the same as banning it since it exists to be sold.

I think AI is just running up against a company whose mantra was "it just works" and finding consumers who expect a working product won't tolerate the lack of quality "AI" has delivered. Welcome to reality venture c

Google search is not the product. Alphabet stock is the product. I'm in the market for a recently printed encyclopedia, a copy of the yellow pages and a subscription to a newspaper... Those were reliable products.

This is cool in a "how didn't I think of this on a long boring drive" kinda way. It only works on a true monochrome display where a pixel is on or off. When dithering and anti aliasing come into play what defines the edge get

I went through a phase about 10 years ago of daydreaming about being a landscaper. The appeal of it was that digging a ditch is easier than the stress and responsibility of deciding where to dig it. Worst case, you fill it in and dig anothe

Star Wars is my favorite Ronald Regan franchise. It took a really long time to make the sequel and so far it's no Empire Strikes Back...
