All these anti-Bolshevik treatises of late merely profit from the decay and ruin of Left-wing consciousness and culture that has taken place in the last century. The old Bolsheviks I once knew would have laughed at this "thesis".

To get live data from ICE--the exchange that withdrew the request--I'm currently paying a broker $120/month. By comparison, just about every crypto exchange currently offers push feeds and historical data for free. In most cases y

I had really bad sleep issues for years and what finally fixed it was not keeping my phone, laptop, or desktop anywhere near the bedroom. When I was younger I would fall asleep quite naturally no matter what I was doing or where. But now, e

If the question "How would you turn Twitter around?" is being asked in public with tons of people giving great answers, I'm sorry but you have a major leadership problem.

Does anyone know what's going on inside the White House in terms of who is working on these drafts and why the first differs so drastically from the second? We have no reporting on this, only these "leaked" drafts. The two dr

I think we'll see more stratification on the internet in the coming years with subscriptions, etc. There's probably even a market right now for a paid version of reddit or HN. The sad fact is that the internet has gradually become

What this is really about for executives like Sam is Trump's meddling in the free movement of labor. Where the action goes wrong is in its banning of our Kurdish and Iraqi brothers and sisters who have fought alongside US & NATO tr

People like Sam Altman are alarmed now that Trump has shown he is willing to meddle in labor markets and potentially impose protectionist labor policies. As Sam says, "This is not just a Muslim ban." Indeed not!

Management is upset they will no longer be able to use H1Bs to cheapen the value of labor. This executive order won't have a big impact but they see it coming. The real issue is competition on the world market. If capital loses a singl

Having spent years on debian, and having run stable and sid, the only really sustainable arrangement is to use stable+backports. Don't run sid! Gradually your system will become a mess and you'll end up doing a reinstall. If you n

Most people in this thread don't seem to have experienced how irritating it is to work in UTC. The argument they make is mainly about logging--they basically want to make sure the log line timestamps are in UTC for the sake of avoiding
