enlightenedfool··on Women are getting most of the new jobs. What's going on with men? – OPB
Given the level of social and institutional focus on girls in STEM, this is only getting worse in the future for boys as they grow. They are not given the same level of motivation and support.
enlightenedfool··on Project Glasswing: An Initial Update
Is this the God model that no one else can build? Unbelievable.
enlightenedfool··on Palantir employees are starting to wonder if they're the bad guys
Is the morality different from being a citizen or tax payer of USA?
enlightenedfool··on Tactical Success, Strategic Failure? Washington Walks the Path to Defeat in Iran
Iran just needed to survive. There is no expectation for it to win against the nuclear super powers. It's a wonder it survived even for this long.
enlightenedfool··on Hormuz Minesweeper – Are you tired of winning?
Good try. When you are complicit in genocide in Gaza, destroy multiple countries on pretext of democracy and human rights, start wars with blatant lies, the "let's shoot at it for shits and giggles" is actually being kind.
enlightenedfool··on IDF officers ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near Gaza food distribution sites
No different how Americans are brain washed that they are supporting a noble goal democracy at whatever cost around the world
enlightenedfool··on U.S. has bombed Fordo nuclear plant in attack on Iran
All that is supported by the American public buying defense stocks. Just new war strategies when party in power changes.

Nothing that Trump or Elon are doing is corruption. Money getting funneled through shell companies to Bidens’ is corruption. Your liberal bias is strong enough to not even realize that for 4 years. And the massive weaponization of government against opponents is the worst.
enlightenedfool··on Apple's Software Quality Crisis
What exactly did you find so much worse in windows?
enlightenedfool··on Mark Cuban offers to fund former 18f employees
Well, let’s find that with DOGE. DOGE had already revealed things that are so unnecessary for a government to do. Humans can do much better governance than what we do now.
enlightenedfool··on Trump to make historic move toward revoking birthright citizenship
Looks like the intention is to force courts and legislative decision on a constitutional matter. I guess most in congress want to keep the babies and the young. The general population is usually emotional and protective about culture and race. Trump had to do it to appease them and make it someone else’s problem
enlightenedfool··on TikTok goes dark in the US
Huh? how are they deciding? Every time you watch a video or install an app it's your decision.
enlightenedfool··on TikTok goes dark in the US
Not a bad thing to learn some conservative/libertarian values too. Going by the spying argument, every US social media company should be banned elsewhere because all data is siphoned by US gov.
enlightenedfool··on TikTok goes dark in the US
Did they ever show the proof of spying to the American public?
enlightenedfool··on Alexander Grothendieck
“ he rarely made use of specific equations to grasp at mathematical truths, instead intuiting the broader conceptual structure around them to make them surrender their solutions all at once.”

Something that caught my attention recalling Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy on the need for conceptual or apriori knowledge based proofs than empirical or derived in math.

enlightenedfool··on New U.N. Cybercrime Treaty Unanimously Approved, Could Threaten Human Rights
It does seem like we are approaching a critical point where a new baseline of rational knowledge is created, but not quite there. I think it is because there still not enough pain at a population level. There’s a section of people which has realized but can’t do much other than being mere spectators. Beyond that point, when it happens, we would probably have a new normal and perhaps a new experiment like USA, better than the previous one and humanity beyond a nation’s boundary can benefit. Now I’m confused if I’m a pessimist or an optimist.
enlightenedfool··on New U.N. Cybercrime Treaty Unanimously Approved, Could Threaten Human Rights
How do you contend oligarchy. All countries seem to tend towards it. Past revolutions were localized, but this one needs a global one which seems impossible.
enlightenedfool··on Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free
You blend interests of US, humanity and civ with ease perhaps out of nationalism. The first is in its own.
enlightenedfool··on React 19 almost made the internet slower
Looked into React for one of my webapps. It felt too complex. I found lemonade js and happy with it. Just a few concepts that serve the purpose.
enlightenedfool··on Apple refused to pay bounty to Kaspersky for uncovering vulnerability
Does Kaspersky care at all about the monetary aspect of the bounty? I think they are ethically bound and probably already know they will not get paid.
enlightenedfool··on Senate passes reauthorization of key US surveillance program after midnight
The surveillance state is bound to happen anyway. There’s just no path for one country to be an ideal democracy with a world full of autocracies. The citizens of US had a good run while it lasted. They did fight well and was worth a try.
enlightenedfool··on How to Start Google
Any chance for me at 45 and without stellar academic background? Or just hope for better chance next life?
enlightenedfool··on Alexei Navalny has died
To each his own values. The western values are pretty evident with the way Assange is treated.
enlightenedfool··on Amazon receives FDA warning letter for supplements with undeclared ingredients
Books cannot be trusted too. I have purchased books which have such cheap paper and bad print and cover that feels like someone makes them in their garage. It wasn’t worth the price.
enlightenedfool··on Amazon receives FDA warning letter for supplements with undeclared ingredients
Did you take any action at all? Sounds serious enough for legal action.
enlightenedfool··on Volkswagen Will Bring Back Physical Buttons in New Cars
Press the right knob once and issue voice command. That’s it.
enlightenedfool··on Fairphone 5: Keeping it 10/10?
Nope. I was android user for 13 years. Just bored of switching between multiple android phones and bought iPhone. Not that I particularly like it, but I appreciate some effort on Apple’s part for privacy and security.
enlightenedfool··on Spotify will reduce total headcount by approximately 17%
So, can at least the execs that made the wrong bets be fired? Those are multi million dollar mistakes. But nope… they just take “complete responsibility” and fire the dev teams.
enlightenedfool··on Casino-like apps have drained people of millions
Playing apart, it’s surprising they spend 1000s of dollars.
