It seems like any sufficiently advanced business is indistinguishable from government.

The government->business pipeline is older than any living president. It's not like all the companies who founded Silicon Valley on government contracts lucked into it.

Some marketing blog long ago said to remove dates so people can't tell when a post was written, and it's plagued blogging ever since. The idea is that "evergeen content" shouldn't need a date, but a date is context.

There's a lot of research on using AI/ML with graphics. I've seen demos people have done using it to create HD remasters of shows originally in SD on tape or too-small film, or where there wasn't much interest from IP ow

People's whole model of satellite internet is anchored to the limitations of what came before with satellites tens of thousands of miles up. They need to recalibrate their thinking for satellites that might be closer than the nearest f

I wonder if it has something to do with the life span of the satellites. Most big investments like this last decades, while the satellites are looking at 5 years. It's the downside for the upsides of low latency and not making a mess i

This is exactly the kind of fun, kooky conspiracy theory I've missed with all the real conspiracies coming to light over the last decade or so.

I actually have no idea what people mean with them these days. They don't say anything without explanation given all the contradictory uses, so they aren't very useful as words. They're the worst kind of jargon. You might try

That's why it's best to get unions or support systems (like UBI) before they're needed. It's hard to organize and build systems when you have no leverage, influence, or power left.

The Overton window has shifted to a place with exotic physics when people trying to overthrow the government as it certifies a legal election are described as conservative.

This seems to prevent states from legislating the kind of discrimination that caused this ban in the first place.

States paying for travel to states that don't respect equal protection under the law might not be legal. This is the kind of question opened by the Supreme Court ruling that the Civil Rights Act protects LGBTQ employees. It's why

I think most people will just Google the URL and (usually) get the correct address as the first result. This might even be an intentional (if misguided) SEO strategy.

The science I've skimmed/read summaries of shows that ostracism just makes people dig their heels in. At best, it makes them quiet outside their bubbles, but it doesn't change how they vote or who they donate to. I don't

None of the tools I use run in any of the Windows compatibility gadgets for Linux. The open source options are probably great if you can't access the good proprietary tools, but they're not remotely close. Some of them I used exte
