Too bad a version of bitcoin didn't survive where everyone isn't in the Rothschild files.

New York Attorney General Letitia James sued video game developer and publisher Valve Corporation for using game loot boxes to facilitate illegal gambling activities among children and teenagers.

Equality has never moved forward without resistance—and today, the backlash is real. In How Equality Wins, Kenji Yoshino and David Glasgow take an honest look at where DEI stumbled to find how we can rebuild a stronger, more inclusive path forward. I’m proud to support this important new book and the conversation it sparks about fairness in America. https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/How-Equality-Wins/Kenji-Yoshino/9781668216750

As a current resident of the United States, where virtually every threshold for benefits is pegged to the poverty level, which is a multiple of the cost of a standard calorie diet, I wish I had a time machine to warn these poor souls that they are on the path to slavery and ruin.

ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online

I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players

Under the 1921 Martin Act, the New York Attorney General was granted more sweeping power (to regulate finance globally) than federal prosecutors.

If I could give a 3-minute presentation to every board of every hospital in the world:

Five Simple Questions: Answer yes or no:

Does wearing a respirator protect healthcare workers from viral infections?

Do infected healthcare workers with flu, RSV, COVID and other viral illnesses infect patients?

Do nosocomial infections harm patients and impair recovery?

Does this facility's mission commit us to protect the health of those we serve?

Will we implement a masking policy immediately?

@augieray ... tell them about the history of the Soviet bio-weapon program.

@augieray

Roughly speaking, the maximum potential impact of a virus is the susceptible population (below herd immunity) times the case fatality rate.

Foreign advisories aren't just attacking masks, they've been spreading disinformation about vaccines.

If you open a spreadsheet and make a table of the maximum potential impact for airborne viruses with vaccines, you'll be left with one slide that should turn every hospital board ghostly white.

When they say the virus doesn't exist ...

Check out the pricing on pallets of decommissioned panels.

What if the plan is just to nuke low earth orbit?

@Infoseepage @jeneralist

The attack on our public health system is being driven by foreign influence campaigns.

It would probably be prudent to look at getting vaccinated for the specific virus Russia took a special interest in developing as a weapon.

For the last hundred years, since Mikey Mouse, knowledge in the western world has been increasingly gated behind a paywall.

But when it came down to it, the people in charge decided that property and copyright were fake, and they were just going to pirate EVERYTHING for AI.

They were just going to take everything and see what happened, as they always had.

Why am I hearing about this from The Guardian rather than USian media?

Feb 18 high winds blew a baby stroller into Lake Michigan-- with baby in it! Man jumps into frigid lake, treads water holding stroller and tot until rescued. Baby doing well, but man needed to be hospitalized for several days.

In true USA fashion, there's a GoFundMe for his hospital fees and lost wages.

Could the rescue be getting little attention bc rescuer is trans?

The unadmitted reason this is happening (and the AI bubble besides): Moore's Law *has ended*. The only way for hardware sales to go in future is *down* because your next PC or Mac will work just fine until it breaks or dies of old age. So by ramping prices artificially via this RAM/SSD futures bullshit, they're keeping profits high for as long as possible.

@weekend_editor @blogdiva I’m skeptical of it as a “smoke-filled room master plan” sort of thing, but as the emergent strategy of a group of chaotic sociopaths willing to destroy everything to make a buck…yeah, I can see it.

@inthehands @weekend_editor @blogdiva

If solar is cheaper than oil, the people who "have money" (i.e. control collateralized oil reserves) are broke.

They aren't trying to make a buck, they're reverting to their true nature.

@thierry_van_kerm

There are a lot of Americans who haven't yet realized that oil town scrip is worthless when the oil town is bust―which it is.

None of the "code generation" stuff is new by the way.

The tech industry has tried to speed up coding and increase software output for the last 3 to 4 decades, by various means; e.g. Rapid Application Development, Expert Systems, Object-Oriented Programming, thousands of different frameworks all the way to trying to off-shore development and exploit third-world labor.

The problem with this is: there is no software scarcity. Pretending that "we can't make software fast enough" is a red herring to hide the fact that making (good) software is 90% painstaking research, design, planning, marketing and talking to and supporting customers.

And 10% writing the actual code—the C-suite is doing ye olde "trying to find a technical solution to a social problem".
