I think it more means “we want to sell your face data”

Projection. The most represented class is the most undertaxed - the wealthy and the corpos

“Capable of holding 10,000 people”

I guarantee if this gets built they will shove 5 times that amount of people in there.

I dunno. The current state of the world might be making me more conspiracy-minded, but this feels like it was always part of the plan.

Introduce surveillance tech that Peter Thiel can use to spy/sell/whatever, announce that you’re using it, expecting people to get angry, and now in the 11th hour, after harvesting all the data they get to announce “we’re removing the evil software! We’re the good guys again!”

I recognize that the current state of affairs is having me see demons everywhere, but I just can’t bring myself to give discord a pat on the back.

Sorry, I only have a YouTube link for this: https://youtu.be/ROFblZ_-9q4

If you haven’t seen it, Wyse (Ring competitor) released a pretty funny ad about this.

Nah, since the 80s at the earliest. The wealthiest were taxed up to 90% and corporations didn’t get the tax loopholes they have now until Reagan took office.

Good example, especially given that it looks like a Russian oligarchy is where we’ve been headed since 2016

I’m not an economist, so here’s my ass talking, but I don’t think your example scales out. I think you’re making the mistake of equating the stock market to the economy. It isn’t.

Not everyone wins in a failing economy. If one billionaire makes out, three more lose money.

Bezos made that $70m from Melania back real quick

The hard part about the erosion of anti-trust laws over the last two decades is it’s really hard to do anything without supporting Amazon due to the sheer amount of things they own.
And even if you made the effort to avoid everything here first-hand, supporting a company whose backbone runs off of AWS ends up supporting Amazon second-hand.

Windows 12 will be the first vibe-coded OS

Innovate only when it’s necessary. In the meantime, perfect what exists.

Bovine probably cried when Rittenhouse was arrested, saying he did nothing wrong.

If they’re selling bitlocker as “full-disk encryption”, doesn’t that open them up to a class action since encryption with a backdoor isn’t encryption?

I had to look it up too.

I was thinking “who the fuck thinks it’s a good idea to run an Olympics-style sporting event that encourages PED use?” until I got to this part in the article:

“…with backing by Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr…”

Oh, okay, that makes sense. It’s just backed by two of the worst people on the planet. Honestly, they’re probably hoping to see people die in these games.

For anyone confused about how May is even an option, the article sort of explains it.

Sort of.

New York Judge Gregory Carro gave the defense until Jan. 29 to make its final argument about the evidence in writing.  Prosecutors have until March 5.  The defense then has two weeks after that to submit a reply.

Carro said he expected to issue his decision about what, if any, evidence to exclude on May 18, at which point he would also set a date for trial.

Us Americans should adopt this terminology.

The Palantirs in Tolkien’s world twisted and corrupted those who used them into evil, paranoid creatures (like Saruman).

This seems like life imitating art.

Could they install it in a sandbox quarantined away from the rest of the stuff on their phones?
