Kukumber··on A four-decade secret: One man’s story of sabotaging Carter’s re-election
there are no bad questions, only bad answers, so let me ask you a question

what do you mean by "what"? should i be more clear? provide more details? or you simply do not understand the subject and therefore need a digestible short summary?

let me know, i'm here to help spread the knowledge

Kukumber··on UBS seeks $6B in government guarantees for Credit Suisse takeover
> $6 billion

$USD? why would they seek dollars, they are in Europe, and they have their own currency

Kukumber··on Balaji's betting 1 BTC will be $1M in 90 days
what's $1M worth in 90 days?

the USD is living its last moment, what ever comes next will invalidate what ever is being over valued today

some people are already trying to hide their wealth through shady methods [1]

Kukumber··on Banning TikTok Should Be Just the Beginning
It's unfortunate that when one brings an interesting question, it's left uncommented

Let's debate guys, don't be shy!

Kukumber··on Fintech Valuations Take a Hit: Stripe's Valuation Drops to $50B

That can't be unrelated, time to dig

Kukumber··on Banning TikTok Should Be Just the Beginning
Some people in the US are seeing their net worth rapidly shrinking and they are mad about it

The west pays the price of their stagnation, they lost

The US banned China's 5G in 2016, we are in 2023 and they still haven't developed their own 5G

Let alone the upcoming 6G being tested in china already [1]

And that's an example in just one industry..

Where are the people who demonized cash less societies, big data and surveillance state? they said it was a bad thing, yet we are trying to replicate it as it's proven to be very effective!

"China bad" narrative shows its weakness, who was right?

Why are the people who are responsible of the current situation still holding the power and still get all the fruit of the society? They should be all replaced before it becomes too late

Western Civilization is slowly dying

Kukumber··on ICC issues arrest warrant for Putin over Ukraine war crimes
Hence the US helped Hitler get elected, hence they helped zelensky get elected

It's easier to ignore history books and follow a government propaganda, you don't have to think! saves some neurons, or perhaps that's because we don't need them stupid neurons

Kukumber··on Link between Alzheimer's disease and gut microbiota is confirmed (2020)

Kukumber··on ICC issues arrest warrant for Putin over Ukraine war crimes
use articles as reference, not as ultimate truth

the main point of that one was the question "where does Ukraine gets their weapon from"

then you have the leaked audio from the US government who clearly was preparing the coup

cross-referencing articles should be common sense

> The completely unrelated pieces about Iraq and Poppy Bush, even less so.

It is all linked, again use articles as reference and history books as data

Napoleon, Hitler? Soviet Union? should ring bells, all of them wanted to push East

Why does the US also want to push NATO East?

Kukumber··on Linux desktop leaders unite behind Flathub app store. Here's why
there are no leaders, nobody own the "linux desktop"

this is like systemd, bunch of people enforce poorly designed product on everyone

linux is becoming a windows bis, and this piss me off

Kukumber··on Russian jet collides with US drone over the Black Sea

Kukumber··on Tim Cook overruled Apple design team’s request to delay XR headset

Kukumber··on Guess how many people at Mozilla decide that a CA can become a root? 1
you are too emotive, i suggest you let people who don't want things to be obfuscated do what they have to do

too many impostors in the tech industry

Kukumber··on Microsoft’s bet on Azure unlocked an AI revolution
classic revisionism and opportunism by microsoft

AI projects predates azure

AI projects predates MS funding of OpenAI

AI projects flourished on 3rd party clouds with GPUs offering

there are plenty of news article shared on hnews to prove it as well as many YC companies funded

Kukumber··on WezTerm is a GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator written in Rust

that's worse than an electron terminal

something is wrong

Similar to how Google got funded

Kukumber··on Flux Keyboard
It's no wonder companies out there have an insane burn rate, something important got lost in the process
Kukumber··on Flux Keyboard
Finally an evolution of the keyboard

People hated on Apple for the touch bar, but this is the natural evolution of the keyboard, why stick to fixed physical keys when you can have them digitalized to be context aware

The problem will be the price

Mechanical keyboard market already is a scam where 90% of products are greatly overpriced, that will not encourage them to offer a reasonable price unfortunately

EDIT:

The keyboard will cost between US$299 - $350 after discounts for pre-orders with a retail price of US$450.

Yeah, the price of a console-tier GPU, way too overpriced to be a successful product

Who remember Medveded's predictions for 2023?

Kukumber··on Porn Zoom bomb forces cancellation of Fed's Waller event
you can lock meetings that has started

this is not a UX issue, it is people who give no fuck about security of privacy

otherwise your government would have voted anti data-spying laws, they haven't therefore they don't care, therefore they didn't think of locking their meeting after it started

i can spell the agenda that's cooking
