How is it worse for the Chinese government to collect this data on us than the feds in our own country?

I'm proud of the downvote that I got on this one.

For many older employees, this is not a choice that they can make.

Surprised the author didn't mention the book Nature of Computation by Mertens and Moore.

It's a classic ... and available now at the everyday low price of $0 on LibGen.

Why don't people get as angry when US government steals money from their bank accounts to make debt payments by resorting to inflation?

Exactly.

A better title for the article would have been:

A Return to Autocracy

because that's what corporate America is all about when management has the upper hand.

Samantha Power could care less about the privacy rights of ordinary citizens.

As far as she's concerned, only cyber-criminals and child pornographers need to hide their activities from the prying eyes of the government.

Harsher prison sentences for convicted criminals would be one way to preserve what's left of the liberty of law-abiding citizens, but we can't go down that road because then we'll become an "incarceration society."

TL;DR

Animal rights activists don't like the pain that hook fishing causes the prey, so eat saltwater fish instead.

Just ask chatGPT for some lessons.

"The entire space is still pretty raw, the UX’s aren’t anywhere close to Twitter yet ...

Let's hope it stays that way.

One reason that the West may have provoked the current war with Russia is to create a hostile environment in the future where all of that countries' fossil fuel natural resources will be withheld from the provocateurs.

Never underestimate environmentalists' ability to create mayhem for their own self-serving purposes. They've already made housing unaffordable for much of generation Z by helping municipalities pass all of the exclusionary zoning laws that makes it so difficult to build new construction.

What a great idea! Wish other states would follow suit immediately.

All of the money being invested in electrifying this country's fleet of automobiles would be better spent trying to cure cancer or CVD.

That's probably a good thing.

Citizens of Russia shouldn't be punished for their leader standing up to the United States.

This is my why I haven't used Apple for more than two decades.

And why I'm never going back.

To escape Twitter's walled garden, apparently you have to find a way to jump out of Apple's first.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Probably worth benchmarking against fzf/ripgrep when I can find the time.

Is there an open source analog of voidtools Everything yet?

Have never been able to find anything.

Mastodon?

Reading about all of the work that this developer went through to scale Twitter's walled garden makes me pine for the days of text-based Usenet news groups.

I think the DEI folks may have more lynchings in store for us, despite rumblings that their propagandizing may be doing more harm than 'good' ....

Is that a bad thing?

I think both are still commonly used today.

Just use lisp, scheme, or closure in emacs and be done with it.

Have to wonder what's the definition of toxic.

Anything that's not sufficiently politically correct?

Who says the exhaust from an automobile is toxic?

Some references would be helpful.

That would be a good thing!

If the host doesn't take steps to eliminate the parasite, eventually the parasite will eliminate the host.

How many people per year needlessly die as a result of drunk driving?

Okay, now I bet you're not suggesting that we outlaw alcohol, right?

Some nice CO2 emissions on that missile.

Yeah, right.

If only all of those cows would just stop farting the Earth would cool down mighty quick wouldn't it?

TL;DR: no one deserves their success so let's start redistributing.
