God said ‘let’s find the biggest loser in the world and give him the most wealth, see what happens.’ I don’t know how other people live their lives, but for me, Musk is the perfect example of what not to be. In every single sense.

An older company I worked for went out of their way to find a pen tester that would basically rubberstamp everything and give them a pass. I actually uncovered major issues with the software during that process, to the point where it was un

I would get fired at Google within seconds then. I’m more than happy to shine a light on bullshit like that.

I’ve worked in I.T. For nearly 3 decades, and I’m still astounded by the disconnect between security best practices, often with serious legal muscle behind them, and the reality of how companies operate. I came across a pretty serious secur

What if, instead of Presidents breaking the law, knowing full well that they are but taking advantage of the slow justice system, what if they needed permission to impose such actions in the first place?

Solid debunking. This is just the same computer ‘magic’ that I’ve seen my whole life. From the dawn of home computing in the 80’s, to Hollywood films like Weird Science and War Games, through videos games of the 90’s and CGI… it tickles the

I really don’t see the issue here. Yes, it could be abused in the future. Everything can. But for now, finding peoples lost dogs and helping reduce crime in your neighborhood seems like a very good idea.

Maybe the novelty of Amazon has worn off. I occasionally purchase from their UK site, and it’s filled with tricks to get me to sign up for Prime upon checkout. Really horrible workflow and design decisions, cheapening the experience. I now

‘Tesla is now worth more than the next nine largest carmakers in the world put together.’ No it is not. Not even close. Tesla’s market cap is larger but they sell less cars. And judging by their downward spiral, that won’t w for long.

I’m no fan of Musk, but I do like the idea of a large fleet of Cybercabs available to summon when needed. It could possibly replace the need to own or lease a vehicle. Most days, I drive to work and my car sits there until I drive home. I p

This is pretty wild and shows an about-turn for sexual harassment rules in the workplace. You object to being exposed to sexual content in the workplace? That's sexual discrimination!!!

There’s an ever-growing movement of physical media collectors online. They’re interesting to watch because they seem to buy pretty much anything. $80 for a 4K release of super-flop Tank Girl? Sure. It seems more of an obsession than simply

Let me get this right: a man who was an intravenous heroin addict for over a decade, and who recently claimed to be unafraid of germs because he did cocaine off of toilet seats, is giving health advice to Americans, promoting red meat, a we

Factoring in the 2-4% failure rate of condoms, due to break or slip-off, that would be 6-12,000 of the 300,000 total. Add another 750 for manufacturer defect rate of 0.25%.

That’s their right. To govern how they wish and not be beholden to hostile foreign governments and their lapdog corporations. I’m honestly surprised it took this long. And anyone crying about censorship and free speech should refer back to

A few years ago I saw a Twitter post highlighting 2 studies asking sex workers if they had been the victim of childhood sexual assault. One study reported 70% responded ‘yes’. The 2nd study reported 90%. If 70-90% of people working in AI ha
