Do you consider the cartels to be corporations? They operate like corporations but exist without the sanction of governments.

ARR is around 30b, valuation is over 800b.

If we could get resources from space without having to extract them on earth that seems inherently better even if the same MBA shitheads are running the space mines. It would make it a lot easier to prohibit harmful resource extraction methods if they can also be economically accomplished without having to destroy irreplaceable ecosystems, for example.

Keep right except to pass. The passing lane is for passing.

It gives you more control over when and what Google can do on the device. If you run Google software with network access you have to assume they can track you, but having it sandboxed minimizes what it can do while running and gives you more control over what it does (e.g. you can deny it network access entirely whenever you want).

It makes him look so much older for some reason, or maybe he is just aging hard and fast these days. That he has it on at night and indoors does suggest he is using it because he is insecure about something or having some kind of issue the hat covers up.

Definitely suspicious behavior. It’s plausible she didn’t notice them, or that she noticed them but had some other intent besides theft. I wouldn’t jump to any conclusions without further evidence.

This hearing was a total disaster for Bondi. There was no hiding what a monster she is, and it’s now come out that photographers captured images of her burn book which included info from illegal DOJ surveillance of members of Congress search histories of the Epstein files. Bondi is spying on Congress while they review the Epstein files, a blatant violation of the separation of powers.

You can understand why Paul Weiss rolled over so easy for Trump. Karp and others were active participants in a sex trafficking ring, if not as actual rapists at least as facilitators for other members of their criminal organization to more effectively exploit their victims.

Another interesting detail, Epstein was already being protected before he was even arrested:

Reiter explained that he was upset when the state attorney, Barry Krischer, rebuffed police efforts to arrest Epstein in 2006. After Krischer declined to prosecute, Reiter took the unusual step of writing a later asking Krischer to recuse himself from the case. When Krischer refused, Reiter then took the case to the FBI.

This is how crime reporting in the US works too. There isn’t a connection really between crime rates and news reporting, the news media broadly choose to focus on certain types of crimes because they serve the interests of their owners and/or are popular with their audiences. There’s decades of polling showing Americans largely have never had any idea what the actual risks are of crime.

They skipped the weirdest one, the VC formerly known as Masha Drokova.

It doesn’t take a million shell commands or sketchy scripts to deploy Windows without a Microsoft account. I literally did it just last week. I think you are being pedantic and moving the goal posts, the claim was that you need a Microsoft account to use Windows and that is not true. You may be coerced into using one depending on the version and install method but that’s not the original claim that was made.

You do understand that official setup requirements is not the same thing? Whatever Microsoft tries to force during a setup process doesn’t change the fact that I am literally using Windows multiple times per week without any Microsoft account so claims it’s impossible are untrue.

This is insane. I am using Windows without a Microsoft account regularly. It is 100% possible. I hate Microsoft too but it’s completely ridiculous to go around spreading obvious bullshit like this.

This is not correct. You can use Windows without a Microsoft account.

That is not really unusual for the US, things like that have been going on long before 2014.

I like to think so. You?
