> abolishing the police when a tiny fraction of people actually want to do that A number of jurisdictions adopted steep police budget cuts in recent months (including e.g. Seattle and Portland - home to multi-month violent riots), and Mi

It's the algorithmic bubbles. They amplify biases and stupidity of any given group of people, and make biases and stupidity seem like the "norm" within the bubble, so not only it is imperceptible, it's also socially dama

While I agree with this, I also think this is to a large extent because videoconferencing is currently pretty bad. It used not to be a critical necessity, so companies treated it as such. There's a lot of improvement that could be made

That's the way it should be IMO. It's idiotic to have to drag oneself to the office to do work which can be done just as well, if not better, without getting out of bed. It's also bad to not be able to get teams together from

Someone should tell Gruber to what extent his beloved Apple censors things in China to pacify the Chinese Communist Party. Funny how pundits routinely latch on to a tiny gnat on a proverbial elephant's ass.

CUPS is amazing. My old HP printer (no longer supported in Windows) works in Linux, but it also works from Windows, and even from iOS devices via AirPrint. This is something that's impossible in any other printing system that I know of

Haven't you heard? Silence is violence now. Not explicitly supporting certain candidates and causes can get you into trouble also.

It's remarkable that just weeks ago all the same actors had zero problems with illegally leaked tax returns from the other candidate. Hmm. I wonder why. Giuliani is promising to publish much more, including a photo in which Biden junio

> Google employees are free to speak up Try to show up for work in a MAGA hat, and see if you're still employed by lunch. Google employees are, at best, free to support the dogma approved by Google.

I mean, I'm sure you're inflating Putin's ego massively by attributing superhuman powers to GRU, and in particular to its cyberwarfare arm. But if I were to bet my own money, I'd say the Russian government's capabil

You can't have "irrefutable proof" on the Internet. On the internet nobody even knows if you're a dog or not. It is strange to me that we have people on this otherwise pretty "technical" site who believe otherw

If they did, that's probably some 14 year old script kiddie in Chelyabinsk. Or in Idaho, or "300lb hacker named 4chan", there's no way to know.

Simple truth of the matter is, they don't even know if it's "Russia". Nor do they know if it's state sponsored. This is pure politics from politicians who don't understand how Internet works.

It's dumb to do this analysis now, when we're in the _middle_ of the epidemic. According to most experts, we're looking at the end of 2021 for the whole thing to play itself out. Take a look at the steep incline the curves ha

FYI to folks who consider War and Peace intimidating: at least the Russian audio version on Audible is excellent, and fairly easy to enjoy. More so than the book itself, in my opinion, because narration is excellent. I was forced to read Wa

First off, I do generally regard non-expert opinions on complex subjects as ridiculous (see Gell-Mann amnesia on why that is). But AOC helped me in that by not reading her own proposal, and allowing "cow farts" to figure prominent

Anybody can trademark anything. And you have to _pay_ to register a trademark, not _get paid millions_ like Hunter Biden. Also, best I can tell Trump is the first president in 30 years that's not selling out the country to China.
