Palantir is one of the more overtly evil tech companies. Their CEO is the last person who should be talking about anyone losing their way. Although I agree, a culture that allows companies like Palantir to be successful has indeed lost its

I haven't seen evidence that such "banning and censoring" ever happened to any meaningful degree.

I guess we have the answer to the question "are we the baddies?"

If the funding is the issue, then we could just end that. That could be done without selling out Ukraine and rewarding Russia for invading neighboring nations. > it's obviously not treason I suspect he meant morally, not legally. Th

Those engineers have chosen where their loyalty is. It may not be of their making, but they are eagerly supporting it.

Palantir is one of the entities that is working to destroy what's left of America's soul.

I think they have nothing but ill intent. Everything they've said and done so far just screams it.

I can speak about europe, but I don't think that that the US started on a serious downward trend until nationalism started rising. But let's say that the US was really on a downward trend -- it's still a big logical leap to s

The US stopped caring about truth, justice, and basic humanity. Caring about people is not in the cards at all.

I disagree. This is absolutely a decline.

There will be no off-world colonies, at least not within our (or Musk's) lifetime.

No, it's not safe at all, but it's legally required.

The only thing you need to be in order to have the support of this administration is anti-human, anti-freedom and/or evil.

> E/acc (effective acceleration) seems focused on pushing technological progress for the greater good. That's not what it looks like to me.

I just wish that UX design people would go back to prioritizing usability. Usability has been getting worse for years.

Isn't it funny, then, that when the Democrats had all three branches of government, the Republicans remained a reasonably effective opposition. The Democrats are failing at that, and it's wrong to say that's because they&#x27

And I trust any random person off the street far more than I trust Musk. I spend a great deal of effort trying to keep my data out of the hands of Musk and his crowd out of a sense of self-preservation. This is handing very sensitive person

So far, Trump has easily been the most pro-crime president in my lifetime. I weep for my country and the horrible years these people are bringing to us.

I hope not. The "veil of ignorance" (privacy) is one of the few ways people can protect themselves against being abused by companies.

It's ironic that this website has a large, annoying floating bar blocking a lot of the page, whose only purpose appears to be to hold one of those horrible hamburger menus. Physician, heal thyself.

Twitter is much worse than it used to be. Trump is certainly not reducing waste and corruption. He's reallocating the waste to better benefit his cronies, and he's filled the government with corrupt people who are working for thei

There is no mandate. Trump won by the slimmest of margins, not even close to "mandate" levels.

"The reason so many movies look like this is because the filmmakers are trying hard to make the lighting realistic to the environment." Good for them. There are many reasons why movies stopped being interesting to me over the past

Yes. This is the slimmest margin of victory since at least Lyndon Johnson in 1964.

Prove it. And even if it is true (which I doubt), that omits the cost and damage that those cuts may have caused.

There's zero chance that this ends well.
