good way to shoot themselves in the foot. They want people to see this and share where a majority of Americans are. purity tests just cede more control to those who don't care about being ethical.

Of course, but to start the uphill battle of calling out the bullshit, we have to at least know which bullshit to counter. For me, the only charitable interpretation of DOGE is that they have accidentally figured out how to spread incompete

That does seem to be the goal. But the facade is that it is wasteful spending being cut.

If we're done having fun with words, would you like to take this opportunity to provide some reason to think this true? Specifically, how DOGE is combatting inefficiency.

This reminds me of some old software (I've forgotten the name) that was essentially gamifying a keylogger. You would install it, and it counted your keystrokes/letters/mouse movement distance. It tallied it up and gave scoreb

Wow, that misinterpretation of "you can't yell fire in a crowded theatre" is really something. Do you think that's a smoking gun that he's shamelessly manipulating the audience, or is he really that dense (or, I sup

This law is not about protecting us from the harms of social media, and it doesn't even literally ban TikTok; so this framing of it being whackamole is missing the point. What we really need is strong data privacy laws and child develo

I love how the first example is "use the common interfaces for new code". If only! That assumes there _is_ a common interface for doing a common task, and things aren't just a copy-paste of similar code and tweaked to fit the

If I remember correctly, the book addressed this. 26 division of a circle was too much for reliable determination of which sign the camera was pointing at, so 16 (hex) made the angles more workable. If we're talking efficiency, I wonde

If I can tweak the metaphor, it's more like sitting on a vantage point within the park and peering at them with binoculars, far enough away that they can't see. It's still ick but definitely intrudes on them far less.

Typically hacking gains you more control over things - seems fair to question if ceding control over the lights in your home to an external service is within the spirit of "hacking". Maybe "rube goldberging".
