They weren't built with slaves

Aren't most computer scientists more like technicians or engineers than actual scientists?

The modern revisionists and reactionaries call us Stalinists, thinking that they insult us and, in fact, that is what they have in mind. But, on the contrary, they glorify us with this epithet; it is an honor for us to be Stalinists for while we maintain such a stand the enemy cannot and will never force us to our knees.

Make booze

He illegally modifyied a couple embryos in a way he claimed would make them resistant to certain diseases and subsequently artificially inseminating them (with consent).

He was sentenced to 3(?) years in prison by China and lost his job.

Not sure where he's working now or what kind of research.

Not to mention all the bs around science publishing, like not publishing negative results

Most of the time, folks who become teachers don't have a million dollar career as an alternative.

duty to disobey unlawful orders

How often does this happen?

My last Xiaomi phone cost me 200USD and lasted over five years. Screen started intermittently not working and bought a new one.

Even if you're voting Harris et al., don't you think they should be called out for supporting genocide? Have you even tried to convince Biden or Harris or your reps in Congress to stop supporting genocide?

Moreover, once they know that they can get enough votes and win while supporting genocide, then they'll know they can do anything and have enough votes to win. While all paths lead to increasingly fascistic governance in the US, the path you're advocating is the most accelerationist scenario.

Love the about page with the big Lenin pic

He's partly right. We wanted to just punish cyber truck owners, but couldn't only target them and decided the first two groups were acceptable sacrifices.

I really doubt homeschooling has much to do with it. Some subset of every gen is good with tech.

The one homeschool kid Im working with this semester is terrified to use the telephone. Their entire experience in home school education was largely sitting in virtual classrooms

Its definitely not all students and, in reality, I believe every generation has been deskilled to diff degrees. So, while these skills are noticeably worse with Gen z than it is with millennials, many young people I meet come to college with some or all of these skills.

So I think you could go with a less extreme intervention lol

Teaching college students, I agree that phones and 'need' are largely the culprit.

Loss of typing skill, trouble shooting skill, and file directory skill.

Better at cameras generally

Interestingly, on Taiwan they have the Republic of China calendar (in addition to the Western calendar) which begins from the establishment of the RoC (1912 on the Western calendar).

As a child I was really into dinosaurs and came to this conclusion

Give the resistance a nuke

Lightning bug's range is pretty wide (they can be found on every continent except Antarctica), but there are much less of them than there use to be.

As a child in the 90s, I would see so many of them flickering. But now, like many other bugs, they are dying off.
