Not to mention the "big picture" EAs did damage when put in charge of the money FTX was doling out. They had people who'd been funding organizations that would feed, cloth, and medicate people move their funding to "existential problems" like AI and climate science. While I won't argue the value of those, vague theoreticals are arguably more commonly tacticaled than those on the ground trying to help with active issues.

Despite his quote referencing IBM & Xerox, I believe there's a good chance that quote was self-reflective, a call back to past decisions. Jobs was a "sales" man himself despite his technical understandings though he had the awareness to realize where it was and had been leading to.

His wisdom here rings of experience. It was probably meant to be as much a warning as it is informative.

Same thoughts I had, the more niche the topic the more important this feature was for finding a workable solution. A year back I was fixing a microphone and 9 of the 10 videos I looked at on it were convoluted expensive or ineffective work-arounds while one actually showed how to fix the issue relatively easily.

I'm really gonna miss this feature.

This misses whole primary subsets of ideologies and doomers, glosses most Libertarian groups which are probably the most paranoid about such events. Seeming to focus too hard at the near non-existant extremes like EcoFash & EcoCommies and really never adjusts back towards a realistic middle which comes in any crisis.

In my experience EDU IT tends to be an extremely small staff with a very heavy amount of duties and overtime. It frankly surprises me this doesn't happen more often.

I agree 100%. Used ProtonMail for a while and this is an issue that's made me think about looking to migrate elsewhere. Tutanota had similar problems when I messed around with it last year. It is hard to find one with good UI, my needed functions, while still having a solid security reputation.

I see no world were this doesn't end poorly. You either see mass emigration of the wealthy at old age or an incentivisation of illicit off the books banking (both domestically & offshore). I can't think of anyone who'd be willing to hand over the majority of their wealth to the government upon death. It would become common practice to attempt to circumvent this.

If everything above 10 million is taken as a death tax you can be sure no estates are going to be worth over 10 million publicly.

The DREAM act has been around since 2001 and at its peak never even had even a million members throughout its existence. Illegals with a criminal background have always been preferred for deportation in the US. But my question how is which ICE is a government entity partisan for following the immigration edicts of the current administration?

Also looks like Both Sideism can go into the large book of unnecessary and arbitrary -ism words people have come up with during this presidency.

It truly isn't a partisan organization. The Dems buried their heads when this happened under President "Deporter & Chief" Obama. People are pretending this issue is new because they didn't take the time to learn about it years ago. Some media reported on it under Obama, but few took the time until they were looking for ammunition against Trump.

From the article: "“One of the data centers in Finland we are renting our servers from was accessed with no authorization,” said NordVPN spokesperson Laura Tyrell."

I believe that would be the section they're referencing.

I was hoping they would use lunar "dirt". I mean this experiment doesn't seem like it even had to be on the moon due to the closed-off environment. It's still cool but I feel like more could have been learned here.

In the intellectual field it's a far more of a left-wing based issue than right-wing. Universities in the US have skewed left for a longtime. Which has meant they are hit the hardest when it comes to the eat-your-own outrage culture engulfing the American left.

So firing 6,000 academics and restructuring and a single major university counts as a purge? I mean a great many places are laying off professors with Liberal Arts Degrees many more than 6,000. In modern day the focus is shifting away from those careers. Even if that is a bad thing it is still the truth of the matter. This just seems like its trying to push a ham-fisted narrative. I'm no fan of Erdogan but this seems like textbook attempt at Yellow Journalism.
