You’re welcome, although I think it’s kinda more than this essay really deserves. When it starts off with an already-deconstructed Nazi comparison and then had nothing new to add beyond that, it’s kind of a low effort shitpost. It shouldn’t

Snowden is absolutely a hero for what he did to expose US surveillance. It is also right for people to be suspicious of anything he says at the moment given his current situation. There’s no contradiction between the two. As I wrote elsewhe

Anyone who knows anything about the CIA is already rightly horrified and outraged. Snowden is correct about how terrible the CIA is, however there’s no new revelations to be had here. Books like “Legacy of Ashes”[0] cover the atrocities of

I would contend this is at least part of the reason why Elon has been engaging in so many antics lately: to keep this out of the news. Ford even held a press event in mid-May[0] but there was hardly any coverage due in no small part to the

Yeesh I feel that way working at a FAANG (or MAGMA or whatever it’s called this week). I’m an expert at our internal systems and platforms, but that’s not a skill that’s transferable anywhere else.

This paper appears to be criticizing just one specific study and there’s no support for the broader conclusion in the headline that such studies are “mostly” fraudulent. Not to mention this paper notes in its conclusion that the study in qu
