When I think of "post-truth" I'm thinking of systems that people mistakenly lock themselves into where they're fed simplistic and surface level facts that have to align with the systems goals. classic example being an ac

I once worked in a large open-air office that had on-site support from VMWare (this was over ten years ago). The VMWare guy was a doofus and some of the 20 something year old IT staff appeared to know more about his product than he did. Pro

Irony here is this comment in an "Increased Cognition" study is telling people not to use their brains cognition because they're not "experts" (TRUST THE EXPERTS!!). Systematics would define pr0zac as a systems-pers

Seemed to be a win-win for Windows and the AV companies. Windows would let cheap interns pump out code (autorun.inf) and anti-virus companies would throttle your computer looking for anything exploiting the garbage code. Windows Vista was l

My all time favorite is still when we tested chemo-like AIDs drugs on foster kids without guardians. Side-effects to include: "rashes, vomiting and sharp drops in infection-fighting blood cells as they tested antiretroviral drugs

This is very CCP-like..."Modern Sensitivity" is just a cover for the cultish "social harmony" seen in China where you get blacklisted via social scores, wiped off raster files and maps, re-edited, and imprisoned to prot

Seems like just a simple supply issue. These complex zoning regulations have made it cost prohibitive for developers to make any margins unless they focus on high-end condo's or apartments. The zoning envelopes need to be re-worked so

I'll never forget the hate I got for letting my kids enjoy themselves at a playground OUTSIDE without those fucking nutty cloth masks...One thing 80's\90's punk-rock taught me was how to stand out in public. Served my kids em

Government wasn't just throwing money at art...Could be the other way around. Back then what was stopping the CIA from covertly laundering money through art? They've cleaned money with worse.

If you're predisposed to schizophrenia, pure bi-polar or other mental health issues you probably shouldn't be tripping balls on LSD ( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6870484/ ) or taking THC at high levels ( ht

I think it's more about streamlining application deployments and removing the containerization hurdle...The dream seems to be a universal byte-code (WASM) vm that would open the door so that Python, Node, Java 58LTS, Rust, C or freaky

I disagree. Whenever I need to get locked in and focus on complex tasks I eat foods high in nitrates and run (need carbs for that). Here's a study on the affects of nitrate's improving brain performance in older adults. https:&#x

You can do this stuff with drones and open source tools. I used a cheap 100 dollar intel drone to take photos of my house and processed the pictures using (alice vision?) software that built the 3D mesh. My idea was to package something tog

Here's a data point...Harris county TX let a capital murder suspect out on some ludicrously low bond (9K, which meant he only spent 900 dollars to get out). Here's a description of the suspects: "They killed two people, and t

I'm on board with Vitamin D but I've learned from experience that if you over-do it with a D3 supplement (being ill) you'll have some interesting heart palpitations. Which case buckle up.

I'm not conflicted at all...I fully stand in support of people I disagree with having the right to voice their minds in public without having to worry about government security forces and patty wagons.
