I think around 50% are 9-0 and then 30% are either 7-2 or 8-1. The contentious cases are the remainder.

9-0 against the record labels. This effectively ends a long running strategy of trying to milk ISPs for people torrenting without a VPN. At the same time it likely puts things like the *Arr stack at more risk given their more tailored natur

And then the children of the admin are traveling somewhere and get yoinked as leverage by the UK/EU/Brazil/Whoever and all of the legal arguments in the world won't do you any good. There is only one law that matters in

When you extrapolate out the political economy consequences of your hypothesis being correct the future looks very dark indeed. If you can make an unhackable game console it should be obvious to people on this site what sorts of dystopias y

I use Claude code for my research projects now, it’s incredible tbh. I’m not writing production code for millions of users I need to do data science stuff and write lots of code to do that and AI lets me focus on the parts of my research th

It's depressing to think that after the abuses people suffered during the lockdowns the response has been to embrace authoritarianism even more. It makes me fear how far this could go before people realize how bad it is. Fundamentally

It can do both that’s the beauty. You can use it as a portable desktop sometimes and as an all day laptop other times all in the same device. I love my M2 Max on long haul flights when I can plug it in. Crossing the Atlantic I can just load

The part you are leaving out is that you also need to set up something like a pihole (which you can just run in a container on the homelab rather than on a pi) to do the local DNS resolution.

It is as Aristotle said, the average person is a natural born slave (to their emotions, and thus to the rhetoriticians most skilled in changing them). That is why democracy always fails in the end. Americans just had such good geographic an

Well political differences is not a valid reason to block a merger in the US (see TWC and AT&T’s merger in his first term for an example of that strategy failing).

Yes, it’s a dispute about antitrust policy not tax policy. The criteria for that analysis is consumer surplus, not the political beliefs of the owners.

The thing is it is less of an antitrust concern for two also-rans in an industry to merge than it is for the industry leader to buy a struggling competitor. People don’t like the politics of Paramount’s ownership but from a competition pers

No the inference is more along the lines of “getting chinese level surveillance and political control means what the people want suddenly doesn’t matter a whole lot anymore”. Until they get that they need to do something to keep the populat

It would be very difficult. Let me give you an example. This whole age verification thing has been going around for a while, at least since 2023 when the brits passsed the OSA. The EU actually had a political bloc that was worried that age

I’ve come to conclude, albeit not emotionally accept, that totalitarian parties and states will outcompete (what a euphemism) more liberty minded systems because of the sea change in the technological environment that cheap compute, storage

The arguments in support of this are pure emotional “fur die kinder” slop straight out of the 1930s, and you don’t beat emotion with facts. The world is heading to a very dark place because of information technology and some of us have ance

HR teams secretly love this. Show me the employee and I’ll show you the fireable offense. The days of not for cause terminations are numbered, with all of the corollary implications for workers rights.

Back in August SCOTUS declined to enjoin a similar law in Mississippi but for procedural reasons, and Kavanaugh wrote as part of the denial that he believed the law was probably unconstitutional. That makes me optimistic for the us on this

My parents love to tell me how in either late 1997 or early 1998 they bought the first PC for our family, a Compaq with a Pentium 3, 12 GB hard drive, 128MB of RAM, and no graphics acceleration at all beyond whatever was integrated on the P

I’m going to go against the pessimism here and say that this is the US not Europe or the UK and the First Amendment has teeth. There’s ample Supreme Court precedent that anonymous speech is a protected right (Talley vs CA, Macintyre vs Ohio

One of the most robust findings in labor economics is that labor and capital are long run complements, not substitutes. I would be shocked if AI is an exception to that rule, for software engineers the sheer flood of code that will be gener
