Google Search has been subpar for quite a few years now. Maybe regulations are the answer, but I think there's value in not continuing to visit those sites. Let them figure out why their site traffic is falling. As far as social media

Be less obvious that they're out to destroy America. A hostile foreign agent would be too concerned with having their cover blown if they were that obvious.

Pretty much everything they've been doing is illegal. The million-dollar question is whether they'll be held to account. Trump has a pretty good track record of facing little to no consequences for his crimes. The pessimist in me

Should the petrodollar end then that's also the end of the USD as the world's reserve currency. Were that to happen, the economic impacts to the United States would be severe. It'd be nice if we had leadership that understood

Puh-lease. I've spent 40 years in software engineering. You know how many times I've been unemployed during that tenure? Plenty. It's always been part of the territory. Especially in the early 90's. In one year, I ende

Or, read another way, Freedom Didn't Deliver on Its Promises. Nobody wants to write that headline though, do they? It would make their game blatantly obvious for all to see, wouldn't it?

Here's the money quote: “Let’s be honest: Smaller companies usually ignore regulations like this because they just don’t have the resources to analyze them, and a government usually ignores smaller companies because it doesn’t have th

This is insanity. You can be imprisoned for a vote?! You can vote for a law, and the law can be immediately challenged, as is often the case. This is an attempt by the executive branch to usurp the power of the legislative branch.

Part of those legal challenges was the assertion that Trump was breaking the law. Congress already approved and authorized the spend, as is their authority. The executive branch doesn't have the authority to withhold funding once autho

A week or so ago I was commenting on how Rust doesn't really solve much, if any, of my problems with C++. In that comment I wondered if part of that might be because assembly language was one of the first languages I ever learned and I

You would think the man who so badly botched the US COVID-19 response leading the US to having one of the highest death rates in the developed world would be keen to not do anything that would appear to be repeating past mistakes. But no. I

This appears to be a whole new approach to AI, requiring far less power. That's the sell and why this could potentially be so disruptive. But if it's open source, then doesn't that mean anybody can see how they did it and adj

Does California get its food for free from the plains states? No? Well then, you can sit down and STFU. BTW, over half of the produce in US grocery stores comes from California. Also, over 90% of the goods coming into the US from East Asia

The parent also shouldn't waste their time pointing out this order is superfluous and is purely symbolic. Meanwhile, I haven't seen anything that will lead to the reduction of egg or gas prices. In fact, both are going up.

I can't take these people seriously when they single out TikTok and not mention this is a problem across the board. I guess when American billionaires exploit and harm American children, that's a good thing.
