Yeah they pretty much did. The idea that purchasing Facebook ads & social media bots represents “one of the single most grave counterintelligence threats to American national security” is absurd.

The U.S. does sort of have a habit of treating NATO allies as such publicly while privately violating their sovereignty and treating them as vassal states or something so I wouldn’t really be surprised. There are regularly stories of us get

Nobody cared until the media made them care in the first place, to build anti-Wikileaks and anti-Assange sentiment. Awful convenient that they stop talking about him the moment there’s concrete evidence that the whole thing was a setup.

They literally fabricated an entire narrative about Russian collusion out of thin air and pushed it for years despite having little to no evidence. I wouldn’t say they don’t play dirty just because they’ve lost more than they’ve won since 1

Personally I think the silence speaks for itself. If this wasn’t a story they had previously covered (very aggressively) it would be different, but it’s basically impossible that the media just doesn’t know about this. Plus, they’ve all bee

So you’re saying unless there’s evidence that someone is explicitly telling them not to talk about it, it doesn’t matter? They pushed the narrative that he was guilty in the first place! They have a responsibility to make a correction and i

Our own officials, agencies, etc are involved in this stuff & media cooperated with them. The CIA has been using both foreign and domestic “journalism” as a weapon for pretty much as long as it’s existed. If anything, our own practices

Well it’s pretty competitive if you limit it to dynamic languages + eliminate some outliers (weird non-Node JS runtimes, web frameworks mostly written in C that happen to be called from Python/PHP, etc)

Well right now it’s relatively crude and opt-in via your insurance but at some point I expect much more detailed telemetry from (internet connected) vehicles by default

Somewhat related I also wouldn’t be surprised if within the next couple of decades all driving related data is being monitored and aggregated, so that could also be used to build sort of a social / behavioral profile on someone and not

Plus social media & potentially even ISPs looking to sell user data, I wouldn’t be surprised if every aspect of your online life is fed into a system like this. And simply hiding your traffic won’t be good enough because not using the

I don’t expect that trend to reverse itself given it benefits the people who have the most say in our politics. I’m just waiting for them to go ahead and implement a privatized social credit score too at this point.

I wish SUSE were more popular in the U.S.

The ability to generate a profit and investment rounds aren’t mutually exclusive, but if you’re focused on growth you’re not going to have profits because you’re going to be spending all of your money on growing. That doesn’t necessarily

Series F isn’t an inherently bad thing. That just means that they’ve been around for awhile, want funding to accelerate growth, and don’t want to go public. Every company doesn’t have to grow super fast after 1-2 massive funding rounds and

Columbus is weird. It’s simultaneously one big city but also has many other independent local governments working within it that split tax revenue with the city itself. Most of the suburbs surrounding the city have an arrangement like this

I’m considering moving from Ohio but mainly because we get taxed to shit here (12th highest overall in the nation) and yet don’t seem to have anything to show for it. From my perspective the only benefit I would theoretically get from being

I don’t think that’s entirely realistic, I was able to do it when I worked at McDonald’s and they actually pay better here relative to rents than they did at the time. There a certainly people in that situation but it’s a relatively small %

Kasich, DeWine etc get a lot of relative praise from the media but the reality is that they’re among the most corrupt state politicians in the nation. They’re just on the right people’s payroll. A much more extreme example of this is JobsOh

It may be difficult to predict exactly what that scenario entails. Sure we have models etc but it’s still uncharted territory. Plus it’s not like there’s 1 magic threshold we can pass and then it doesn’t matter anymore — the main means of m

This is the opposite of what I want, guess I should buy a low mileage used Tacoma and hope it lasts for the rest of my life

No you’re not crazy at all; my preference for a vehicle would be analog everything with as few electronic components as possible. Even if it were an EV.

At this point I feel like we have 2 political parties trying to create different dystopian nightmares and there’s no non-dystopian option.

My argument is that I know it’s worse, I know in practice it is your 3rd bullet point, but it’s easy for both the lowest common denominator of developer and manager to work with and understand. It’s technologically inferior but has less com

Yeah I don’t mean REST in reality because as we all know, nobody actually fully follows that pattern and 90% of the time it’s really just vaguely REST-ish RPC over HTTP anyways. It’s still easier imo to deal with that than the equivalent in

Because before Google got involved, an independent third party was actually winning & Microsoft had no chance of regaining dominance in that space.

.NET Core is a great example. Microsoft directly benefits from gaining market share among developers — it helps them sell Azure, etc. Open sourcing it was absolutely necessary to remain competitive. They did it because it’s the right busine

As someone who works on multi tenant systems where accidentally crossing boundaries would result in millions of dollars in fines…yeah I would like to see more examples of this in particular haha

Notice nobody actually tackling the “performance issues” part of this, because that is the real problem most experience. A standard implementation gives you n+1 in many scenarios (assuming you don’t have GraphQL on top of a single SQL datab
