almost all politicians are using "climate change" as a fear based method of controlling the masses. nuclear would do to much damage to the narrative.

if we are in a position where civilian targets are getting bombed we have other problems. not mention in said "war" if we are reliant on green energy we will certainly lose to whoever bombed our power plants.

I'm sure the disinformation and hate speech is about steel dossier and all the mean things said about Trump supporters. Or do you mean they prioritized profits over censorship?

how about instead of "no more app stores" you and others with your interest go make more app stores. more is better. if you have a good product you will gain the leverage you need.

exactly, they are proud to tell you they block videos that are "problematic" from being recommended. But problematic to whom or what is not described. As this would surely reveal their bias in their algorithms. And also who our overlords are.

climate change has become a loaded ambiguous term. most people are running with worse apocalyptic notions of it because it suits whatever agenda. there have been various climate related predictions that have turned out to be hyperbolic and easy to adapt around for all species involved. humans have had to adapt to the changing planet for 10 thousands years. this will never stop no matter how much regulation or how much authoritarian governance returns us to some type of bronze age indigenous state. and the reality is countries like china aren't playing ball with these demonstrations of subservience to the progressive ideals. they will continue to innovate and build while we deconstruct ourselves over something we have no control over.

The things that jumps out to me is how statistics and studies like this shape the larger cultural discussions, legal discussions, and public policy discussions. It really shows how data can be munged, cherry picked, and altered to fit any narrative you want to send. Luckily over time scientific method should correct this but these can do serious damage in the short term.

yeah thats it, apple is successful due to the "exploitation of human weakness" and not due to providing products that people use everyday and love.

As someone who uses both android and iphone I don't see a problem with this. I find that there are many horrible apps to wade through with differing UI experiences and quality on android it ends up being very clunky jumping from app to app. However, I find the apple ecosystem a bit more regulated to ensure you get an elegant and consistent experience. For the average user, I think thats what they want.

Yeah tech is definitely a semantics and buzz word race, but at the end of the day if you see SRE, DevOps, or Platform Engineering in your title understand you are moving into an organization that has the expectation that running production workloads/systems should require minimal human interaction, scale horizontally, and be resilient to failure/disaster. Sometimes you are siloed to SRE work. Sometimes to Platform or DevOps work as defined by your leaders. Or Sometimes you wear all three hats. Its completely situational but more than likely you will have a role in automating away problems that improve stability, increase visibility, and reduce manual interventions on the production systems.

The same sore of redundant and interchangeable titles exists for software engineers.

Senior Software Engineer or

Lead Software Engineer or

Staff Software Engineer or

Principal Software Engineer

Try to explain those differences.

I think the point was that using Turbo tax isn't an obligation. So criticizing something for not being free but charging for your own content seems hypocritical. You could use another tax service or file via mail. Seems to be a lot of choices here: https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/browse-all-offers

Good Riddance, Tax. Americans Need Real Freedom.

If you can't figure out how to choose one of the above, I don't know what to tell you.

Now that media has to tell the truth they have to get the negative Trump spin in to justify the vitriol of the last 5 years otherwise the narrative wouldn't make sense.

God forbid people that don't share your politics coexist on a tech forum with you.

If he did the media would say he was a madman firing people for not believing a conspiracy theory. He can't win with you folks.

This is an example of "anything Trump says I must believe the opposite" logic that has plagued our country for the last 5 years.

We should allow Xiaomi to sell their phones in US. Reverse engineer their tech and sell knock offs of their phones at cheaper prices. Thereby eliminating them anyways.

Ho Chi Minh was trained at Lenin's "Comintern" with the expressive goal of training foreign assets to spread Soviet communist interests. These assets would be funded and supplied by the soviets to agitate revolution in their countries. This essentially is an agent.

Reason is Kaczynski was actually a genius intellectual that went mad. His observations in many ways are completely accurate. His solutions are naive, as he thinks these things could have been corrected. They must take their course unfortunately.
