So we mug other States rather than address the problem?

I hope that we can agree that blowing off the 10A and allowing all of this federal bloat has not been a swift call. Social services left at the State level would be subject to a smaller pool of votes for approval and are more likely to be f

The Narrative is used as a truth suppository. I'm skeptical regarding there being two distinct political parties. That seems a happy façade papering over much deeper issues. Here on HN, one can relate the Constitution as a script that

Those exposing the truth have been variously crucified for millenia. The purported "intellectuals" are more (or less) helpful in this regard.

Nevertheless, whoever controls the definition of "suffering" is powerful.

Saw the link to the full article below. Chomsky never gets around to a teleological argument as to why US intervention in Vietnam was wrong; it's all so much quoting and puffery.

The article was hilarious to me. To whom are we responsible? And who manages the "truth" supply? If we're assuming a postmodern stance that there is no objective truth, or even a utilitarian stance that truth is a consensus,

Pop!_OS is a solid desktop tailoring of Ubuntu for the hardware. I would not recommend Pop for server situations, as the desktop trim might be unneeded.

Can recommend https://system76.com and Pop!_OS https://youtu.be/IOp7g7BNzRE?si=IKm6SLIdedgHr-u3 even if the name "Pop OS" isn't my favorite.

For the un-briefed: n8n (pronounced "en-eight-en") means "nodemation," a blend of "node" (for its node-based interface and Node.js) and "-mation" (for automation)

I cannot refute your response, sir. OTOH, I don't more than partially agree. We can stipulate that some kind of mathematical perfection is unattainable, sure. The discussion might then move to the feedback loops that detect the state o

Serious question: when will the AI generate the perfect taxation system/budget combination?

Really needs an update, the No-Tiff-ier, that also doesn't display an image, in addition to the other features. For 2026, the No-Tiff-AIer extension is planned to also not bury you in slop.

Publicise the name of the pharma executive and get everyone to mock him until he gets the hint that this (perfectly legal) dick-headery comes at a price and, perhaps, mellows.
