What a load of shit.

“Company cuts ties with leopard after customers notice leopard”.

At this point, as a tech industry insider, you don’t partner with the likes of Thiel or Karp without fully understanding who you’re getting into bed with, or why.

A browser. Just make a browser. A FUCKING BROWSER. Don’t bloviate on other topics. Don’t bake AI into it. Just do ONE THING well … make a FUCKING BROWSER.

OTOH - consider the plight of Manning and Snowden. Perhaps a penalty of 2 years would encourage whistleblowers?

That depends entirely where the Tesla stopped, and under what conditions.

Electron!

at least somewhat consensual right?

Only if he weren’t on fire.

making a mistake.

I don’t intend this as a personal criticism, more of a whinge about the world in general. But this sort of thing isn’t a mistake, and it bugs me when that language is used to describe it.

You could argue “I made a mistake” when you choose the wrong course of action when presented with a tricky dilemma. Or when you’re misled by someone, or misread the circumstances.

Are you guilty?’ said Winston.

’Of course I’m guilty!’ cried Parsons with a servile glance at the telescreen. ’You don’t think the Party would arrest an innocent man, do you?’ His frog-like face grew calmer, and even took on a slightly sanctimonious expression. ’Thoughtcrime is a dreadful thing, old man,’ he said sententiously.

Here’s an idea: a catalogue of companies who pulled this shit during the bubble, so we know who not to buy from when it bursts.

Time to see whether our elected representatives here have any spine …

Must admit I’m sitting here in Australia, thinking about our uranium reserves, and thinking “uh oh”.

I am souring on mainstream, respected news outlets

What do you suppose their job is?

Oh sure, there are competent individuals in most any regime. Wernher von Braun, Hanna Reitsch and Otto Skorzeny spring to mind.

What I meant was though that fascist regimes as a whole do not govern competently, for a variety of reasons, including promotion for loyalty. I’d argue though that the main reason is philosophical: their disdain for intellectualism and reason.
