Reddit threw together a short deal with Google on pimping out all its users’ data for crumbs a year, and now they’re rolling the dice on the IPO.
The saddest part is that they’ll win and make bank, because at that level failure is rewarded. Make every mistake you can possibly make and still get your golden parachute. Everything would have been better without you, but you get to reap the rewards as a robber baron.
“You’re talking about officers in tactical gear going into communities, being videotaped in the streets, putting kids in car seats, carrying baby formula. Then what do you do with those families?” said Jason Houser, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s chief of staff from January 2022 until March 2023. “Are you going to go into neighborhoods in Philly, New York, Baltimore and start tugging people out of communities? That’s what they want. It puts law enforcement and the communities at risk.”
People were infuriated by children being separated from their families and put in cages, but it was all happening "elsewhere," so there was a disconnect. Militarized mass deportation will be very different. Trigger-happy feds targeting families and dragging them out of their homes en masse. Shootings, violence, and the sheer terror of it will all be happening in every community and not just at some distant border.
Even some of the "cruelty is the point" crowd are going to have misgivings when they see this policy in action.
Error builds upon error. It’s cursed from the start. When you factor in poisoned data, it never had a chance.
It’s not here yet because we aren’t advanced enough to make it happen. Dress it up in whatever way the owner class can swallow. That’s the truth. Dead on arrival
Forgive me if I think any kind of nuclear reaction should not be handled by what we’re calling “AI.” It could hallucinate that it’s winning a game of chess by causing a nuclear blast.
There aren’t many parallels for similar acquisitions in the financial industry, meaning that the Capital One-Discover deal will likely have broad implications for merger activity within the sector, said Schiff.
The billionaires are circling the wagons. Centralize all power and wealth. Squeeze every last bit of “value” out of the people.
Endless billion dollar mergers to consolidate more and more power.
While several researchers have analyzed the supposedly leaked documents, no official confirmation of their veracity exists as of the writing of this article.
None of this information has been confirmed.
Given the degradation of Xitter’s staff, I’d expect there to be vulnerabilities, so that’s not a surprise. I’ll still wait for confirmation on that news before I take it as being true.
If this is true, Xitter is completely and utterly compromised. I’ll wait for confirmation on Android having some massive vulnerability that iOS doesn’t seem to have.
I didn't say I was happy about it. People are desperate. They're going to vote for chaos knowingly, because the status quo has become unbearable, and the Democrats have decided that pretending there isn't a problem is a good campaign strategy.
American here, we have amassed more wealth than Rome at its peak, yet a disgusting number of our citizens live in third world conditions. Another disgusting amount of people live in relative comfort, but also in impossible debt that threatens them daily. They will be homeless soon, and they know it.
Our wealth inequality is worse than France before the Revolution, and it increases constantly. The wealthy don’t care. They just want more. They’ll burn the entire fucking planet to ash if it makes them a little more profit.
And Americans pay their utility bills with credit cards. And their grocery bills with credit cards. Their wages go to rent and booze/smoke to get by. Look at the mental health numbers in America and factor in the people worried about getting fired if they admit they’re struggling and ask for help. Factor in the ones who don’t have health insurance and can’t even ask for the help they need.
It’s a fucking nightmare here. And it’s getting worse every day. Trump is going to win for a reason.
Organizers also flagged comments that authors, including Barkley and Sanford, had made about the merits of holding the awards in Chengdu and whether they signed or shared the open letter.
Even if you don’t criticize China explicitly in your works, you are still subject to the Chinese social credit score for everything you say online.
Science fiction is supposed to be about looking to the future in creative ways. Stifling creativity for state interests is repugnant.
The Economy Rich people’s yacht money is at record highs, so clearly we don’t have a problem with inflation corporate price gouging to keep their profit margins above the margins when they were stealing from taxpayers during Covid.
The judgement [sic] argues that encryption helps citizens and companies to protect themselves against hacking, theft of identity and personal data, fraud and the unauthorised disclosure of confidential information.
Backdoors could also be exploited by criminal networks and would seriously jeopardise the security of all users' electronic communications. There are other solutions for monitoring encrypted communications without generally weakening the protection of all users
Back doors enable bad actors to access everyone’s systems.
IIRC, this is the district with suburban republicans that went ~+10 for Biden in 2020, then elected fucking Santos in ‘22. The pendulum has swung back to democrats and by a wide margin.
