Simplistic? I've been reading investigative reports of his very narcissistic, unstable behavior for decades. He's no different in office, just far more visible. He's not playing a media game when he praises every network th

I came of age with Reagan in office, I've seen plenty of politicians. How many other presidents have had a lifetime of lying publicly and being caught at it over and over for decades, and still lying and spouting obviously false BS, ov

Trump plays no game but his own. There is no world to him except what he perceives, even more so than 99.9% of people his own self-supporting delusions drive his entire existence. No one can puncture that bubble, at least not that I'

I find it incredibly easy to believe that the president is constantly claiming things without any evidence backing him up. It started decades before the 2016 illegal voter claims, and has been a flagrant, constant, malignant part of his per

That would make for an awesome "saw a coupon, this is what they shipped!" story. Probably good resale to an FBO.

Security by obscurity is about poor asset defense. Shadow banning is about raising the effort level for trolls, think of it more like virtual spike strips. Not going to stop everyone but slows most of them up enough to reduce the problem.

So where is the Vision Fund getting these billions, and why do they need them laundered (squandered?) so badly?

by zentiggr 6y ago
Shadow banning is a fairly effective anti-troll measure. Not so much customized reality, as much as making it less obvious to the troll that their current account isn't effective.

What if Flynn publishes a list of the companies involved and the timeframes, we construct a list of the executives, directors, and mangers involved, and blacklist them? No business with any company that employs even one of them, ever again.

How about greed? How many decades of repeated patterns of cooking figures, "losing" paperwork, and outright fraud does it take to see that a sizeable percentage of people running the largest financial companies just want to rake i

I was an active Palm user, Life Balance was my task tracker of choice, so much so that for a while i tried to run it on PHEM on my Android phones. (Don't ask. Ouch.) I'm trying to reimplement it with personal mods, in C# to start,

Also my lamenting the loss of newsgroups for just that effect. Used to be in alt.callahans and I can't imagine how many threads I just collapsed and moved on because I knew that conversation wasn't a topic of mine. And still mana

I'm not sure I've ever heard of the JVM being used in trading level software before. I've gotten a broad but vague impression that custom applications are the norm. No criticism, as I've only read others' accounts,

I splurged and subscribed to X-Plane's global scenery and all planes option on Android. While it's a limited experience compared to a 3-axis stick and throttle on a mid-high end PC, it's still a lot of fun to pick out places

I could get on board with leaving Moon, Mars, and most other planetary missions on hold for some serious replanning and some serious test missions.

Upvoted for awareness of just how tone deaf and self-congratulatory this sounds. Never a word about unfair firings, poor warehouse conditions, or all the other ongoing stories. Somebody drank too much kool-aid, and can't see the realit

This is a wonderful discovery. I had built up a picture of black hole environments always being an accretion disk plus lots of powerful radiation, which would make most unexplorable without some incredibly survivable craft. A quiet non-accr

On my last two sub deployments I bought a midrange laptop and Mandrake Linux 8.0, had a grand time installing, reinstalling, tweaking the hell out of it, learning to handle a running *nix. Came in handy when an onboard system based on HP-UX

I've not used Ubuntu but was about to search for a distro to put on a rebuild machine... I was considering Ubuntu up until I heard about this. As a former Gentoo user, this whole Snap concept is a huge deal-breaker. I wouldn't con
