Citizens United is widely considered the event that would cause US corruption to spiral out of control, but there was always the hope that a constitutional amendment could get us out of this.

Neither side ever even attempted it. Every once in a while you get some lip service about small money donations but nobody ever tried to go after the problem at the root in all this time. Think about what that means.

What's a scapegoat then?

I think you need to check the math on that. Knew a former slave maybe?

It makes a difference at a demographics level but I don't think that's what we're discussing here.

Comparing MAGA to Nazis is a bit much, and I would argue that this kind of hyperbole is a better example of how we got here.

Is it just me or does it seem like they should have caught this guy sooner?

Right that's why I qualified that with "things they didn't used to fall for".

Right but an age-related illness that affects cognition is generally just called dementia.

> My parents are at an age where they fall for things.

If they're falling for things that they didn't used to fall for, that's sounds more like dementia than age.

Why not Kasparov when he lost to Deep Blue though?

I haven't checked USDEUR in years and it's exactly where it was last time.

Does Grok have a subscription that competes with Claude Max $100 plan (genuinely curious)

Sigh. I was pointing out the difference between when Mamdani does something and when a regular person does the same thing.

Either that or consciousness pops out afterwards as a by-product of the physical process. A less fun to believe idea I know, but the data supports it.

Even if overinterpreted were true, it's silly to claim that consciousness is driving. You don't "decide" to think thoughts. They come to you. They are driving.

You have this backwards. Thoughts and decisions precede consciousness, the sense of authorship is mostly constructed after the fact. See studies on readiness potentials in motor cortex.

There is nothing to praise here because this is the obvious pattern. Doing anything else would have been incompetence. So yes he gets credit for hiring a competent dev, but to call him a genius for this is venturing into fanboyism / derangement.

I'm not claiming to be a genius. Nothing in this article is evidence of genius. Competence maybe.

I did the non-technical aspects too and yet I'm somehow still just a shmuck doing his job while these guys are geniuses.

3 different clients.

It's an url shortener. I implemented 3 of these this year and nobody is calling me a genius.

Does it seem strange that Russia would go with Israel to astroturf credibility?

I feel like conservatives must have a problem with Fred. MAGA would have definitely cancelled his funding.

I might give it to them still if they were fully leveraged.

The problem is when your competitors get the idea to spam your campaign with fake traffic, which is a real thing that happens.

Yeah, as soon as site operators implement that paid traffic scheme the Cloudflare has been pushing. It's all about being to monetize their compute/content.

Yes and in each case of people being correctly imprisoned, Flock was right. That's because it's a tautology.

What about intent to gain power over others? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9aM_dT5VMI

Did their genes survive more, you mean. Hyper-vigilance could be maladaptive for the individual and still survive if it benefits others that carry the gene for it.
