people are missing the 3rd actor in this trifecta/shit sandwich - Israel. Its the intentional bad faith actor who'll do whatever it takes to sink any peace talks - including genocide/invading Lebanon etc etc etc.

So much for freedom of speech in US Universities. Israel dictates what is forbidden/permitted on US campuses now?

This coupled with the hot mike incident yesterday where Trump was saying how El Salvador needed to build more mega prisons for the "home grown..terrorists" is beyond concerning. Sure sounds like DOGE is compiling lists of 'l

My favorite comment from the article was from the Hollywood/media exec lamenting that what IA was doing was 'theft'. Didn't Hollywood come about from people trying to outrun Edison and his patents? The hubris is astoundi

I wonder the same thing. It had a lot of 'renegade cool kid' energy early on, I suspect this was done on purpose. However, if you look at the investors, and people working on the project now (lot of industry types) it's mov

From a Libertarian perspective why would we not: 1) have Congress+FDIC... This made me chuckle. I thought Libertarians want gov _out_ of their lives. :)

oh look. Some techbro billionaire fretting about his billions. Why is this news? What's next, an indepth look at finding 'just the right bunker' for the apocalypse. I mean, yeah a bad thing happened. His family survived,

Yeah, I'm not going to base the idea that "inequality is OK" by someone from the federalist society. That's like asking an arsonist if fire is good. I'd argue that the lower class has lost upward mobility in this

The creation of a whole new federal branch - "homeland security" was created under BushII. Cushy federal jobs with pensions all funded off that sweet sweet defense budget. So now airline travel is ruined all for security theater.

no/low taxes has been done since the 80's and all we have for it is massive wealth disparity in this country. It's a failed policy that punishes the majority so a few can be obscenely wealthy. The wealthy economic zones als

We talk about insurance killing the medical field, but I'd also argue that EMR companies are doing a number on the profession as well. Have you seen the Epic campus? Epic - located in Wisconsin (not the gaming company). The amount of

I agree 100% with ICANN's position in this matter. I think their reply was level headed and correct.

You can't catch obesity from someone coughing in the same room as you. But to extrapolate further: Sugar taxes have been tried in countries - Mexico for one. I think there was massive backlash from CocaCola/Pepsi etc, for infrin

Um, they kind of are? Or at least think they are? Any sort of international pressure is met with cries of 'anti-semitism' which quickly shuts down anyone. It is used to combat the BDS movement, which itself is intended to put pr

I'm surprised by the hand wringing angst at this "unproductive member of society". The article was a lark - a bit of exposition on thinking about things differently. Does the author say you need to lay about? No, he just d

It was a bit of a knee jerk reaction - seeing so many posts flooding to the top that were "Pro Telco/Anti NN". I get angry when people say "regulation is bad - let market forces dictate." The point of my post was t

I see a lot of shills posting their anti-Network Neutrality stuff here, so I wanted to chime in reminding folks of a few things: Telco's were forced at one point to share phone lines. Remember all those DSL startups? Remember speakeas
