I just resized my browser window, so the bottom of the window is above the GIF, but below the NEXT button.

Sounds like they were following some advice from “The Innovator’s Dilemma” by separating the business groups.

Is not just the meat industry. Dairy cows eat silage too.

Everything I know about silage I learned from watching 10th Generation Dairyman on YouTube. As somebody who loves learning about the tedious details of other people’s professions, I highly recommend this channel.

This looks like a scam. They’re asking for $5k - 20k individual donations for a statue that (according to the supposed sculptor’s website) will only cost $6,000.

Why are they asking for so much money?

Also, the website claims that donations are tax-deductible, but there’s no mention of a registered non-profit organization.

No transparency. So many questions.

“Our basic philosophy when it comes to security is that we can trust our developers and that we can trust the private network within the cluster.”

This is not my area of expertise. Does it add a significant amount of complexity to configure this kind of system in a way that doesn’t require trusting the network? Where are the pain points?

I wonder if he realizes that his behavior (substantiated by compelling evidence) was “grotesque”.

I wonder what would happen if they published a list of all their users who are not currently under surveillance, or gave them a nice little icon. I feel like somebody tried this before, but my Google searches are coming up empty.

Directly below the paragraph about Alcoholics Anonymous was an advertisement for Absolut Vodka. Hmmmm.

Article by Jeffrey Steingarten. He’s a wonderful food writer with two books that I highly recommend to anybody who has ever been called a foodie.
