I think the strategy is more to prevent competitors from monetizing

Just confirmed with Verizon

Information is being selectively withheld to manipulate public opinion, and legacy media outlets are cooperating because that’s what they exist to do - amplify on demand.

After the recent Project Veritas videos on Directed Evolution, it seems like that’s the actual goal

What’s the worst case? That China subtly influences the American youth to be less supportive of Washington’s wars? Because TikTok has tons of ‘ex’ CIA and FBI manning the Trust and Safety Dept just like the other socials

Which precedent? The one where the 14th Amendment forbids racial discrimination, or the narrow carve out 20 years ago that has allowed it to continue in higher education?

‘member when YouTube intentionally put a bug in their site to mess with MS?

I suspect the real purpose of the Poseidon nuke torpedo is to avoid the difficulties of detecting subs by over-pressuring an enormous area all at once, like fishing with dynamite

Putting your info in seems like a good way to get squatted.

Factually incorrect. Obama was elected in 2008 with a supermajority in Congress and mandate to fix healthcare. He made it worse.

Californias State Assembly has tried to get UHC, it was blocked by Newsom. If it cannot be done in California then it’s clear the Democrats aren’t going to fix it and have no political solution.

> He was hired by Jack Dorsey, and felt accountable to him and to the board, but he reported to Agrawal, who believed that Mudge had a responsibility to follow the chain of command very rigidly.

With $10mm cash bonuses on the table it’s extremely obvious why Agrawal would insist on being MITM

On the topic of PFAS, I’ve used a https://www.berkeyfilters.com/ for 10+ years and they filter out PFOS PFAS etc

> As porn star Cherie DeVille explains, the story is, and has been, a lot weirder than that. Because Visa and Mastercard hold effective duopoly status all over the world — controlling 98% of credit transactions in the U.K., 80% in the E.U., and over 70% in the U.S. — no porn performer can afford to cross the rules for acceptable content the two companies have laid down. And those rules are beyond strange.

“Women are allowed to squirt, but we’re not allowed to urinate,” DeVille says. “We can’t insert our panties into our vaginas anymore, because that’s an object. I tried to use a carrot-shaped dildo. That’s a problem because that’s an object, too, but a phallic-shaped dildo is apparently okay.” She shakes her head in amazement. “The rules are completely nonsensical.”

Cool, I’m into cheap auditable hardware! This could maybe turn out like when they discovered Linksys was breaking the GPL which ended up opening up an entire class of hardware to hack on.

Im pretty sure it’s indisputable that we _are_ all constantly being spied upon and tracked, both by multiple nation-states as well as a ton of private companies. Believing there is an undiscovered backdoor is absolutely a reasonable position to take.

Because that literally costs 10x

No, with copyright law you get ownership, the nft is just a public receipt

UCHealth’s app does this, and clearly knowingly because it’s spelled out in the Privacy Policy page

For me, personally, the nonstop rotation of defense lobbyists and uncritical parroting of anything put out by the Pentagon makes CNN appear pretty right wing to me. Especially since it’s a bunch of intelligence community apparatchiks doing the parroting.

Everything else they report comes from PR NewsWire, and to me that union of corporate power and media also seems very right wing

I’m strongly considering it

Challenge accepted

I don’t understand how they intend to defend against porch pirates shooting them down and taking the packages

To somewhat overstate this paper, it shows chimpanzees have their own language and communicate vocally using words

Where I’m from, we’d just say “There’s a big ass hole in the road”

Only 28% of sales are to first time buys, and 25% of sales are all-cash. Sales of affordable houses under $250k are down 30% YoY

I paved highways for 5 years. The people standing around are because there is a surprising amount of manual labor involved. One example that isn’t obvious is raking. Sometimes rocks slip through the cracks at the hot plant and the paver leaves big rocks in the hot mix. There need to be at least one guy just standing around looking at the asphalt to get the rocks out and throw in replacement hot mix between the first and second rollers.

Asphalt is mostly crushed rock, and you need different sizes of rock from fines to bean size. Part of the QA process is checking that the rock mix is composed of the right ratios and have enough faces to meet the spec. This is done with random samples from the asphalt as it’s laid down. They also check the temp, if it’s too cool it won’t work. So they mostly stand around. On the other side of the paving train is another QA where they use a radioactive density meter to check the asphalt after the rollers hit it, and they also take core samples along the joint to confirm the rollers are doing right.

Then there is a guy from DOT supervising. The State owns the roads, he’s there making sure no one is cutting corners and to coordinate the train with the supervisor of the crew.

Add in a couple more hands to rake/shovel (think guardrails etc) and it LOOKS like 5 guys working and 10 standing around but it’s 15 people taking turns in a continuously moving operation, often in live traffic
