"self-absorbed, vain and entitled" is not narcissism, thats a fairy tale version

A.I. is a clever way to export electricity.

Section 230: time for a reset

Tiktok to get Murdoch'd like Myspace. That is, of course, the plan. The result, a migration to Facebook (again).

Posting "anonymously" on twitter as "Zero HP Lovecraft" counts as unequivocal and public racism.

This is all about industrial robotics. In order to train robotics AI, Zuckyrberg must create realistic "embodied" farmvilles for users to play. This is likely the only path to robotics for facebook, hence the ballistic spending.

Thats only 25M in 2025 dollars.

That would be 2025 logic, but at the time it was not "big textile", it was universal control over industrialization. As if big textile is any different than big oil, all the same owners today as in 1800, owning everything and protecting that claim to rights.

The point however is not that of protecting copyright, but that copyright protection was invented to usurp technology which was not truly invented. This is how controlling history controls the present, for if all roads lead back to "we invented this and own it" then all roads forwards must pay that toll. If the narrative were not true, then the premise could not hold.

This is a solved case, they were used for textiles. But to admit this would break history, so instead it is constantly rattled academically. Put one next to the Voynich Manuscript in the Museum or Jurassic Technology.

The cause behind this narrative hustle is the industrial historical arrogation which teaches that knitting was not invented until 1000 years after "The Romans". They had textiles, weaving, but no knitting.

This is early mere patent protection during the capitol rush of industrialism, claiming devices which were not actually invented as pretended, and therefor should have no claim to copyrights. The cotton gin was not invented in 1793.

Moreover it is a supremely ignorant and abstract notion, showing how detached academia is from reality. Anybody with time on their hands and some vines may invent weaving, knotting, knitting, and with metal slivers many ways to make pins. There has never been a people without this technology.

This has surfaced quite a bit recently with internet historians. We are to believe hundreds of seaworthy ships would be abandoned, that the captains and owners of ships decided to become miners.

How is it explained that some ships when buried were farther out from what we are to presume was the old shoreline? Would not the tide or some authority have moved them one way or another long before then?

The ships buried more inland are in places apparently not accessible to ships at the time, the shore did not go inland that far according to other depictions.

It appears the mint governors are paying attention to the internet scholarship, or why would they suddenly make this page with redundant yet skimpy details? As if to tell the platforms "this is the doctrine about the buried ships of San Francisco, update your community notes and fact checking."

Sure enough, google AI gave this very link immediately for several useless references when pushed for records.

The irony is that actually litigating copyright law would lead to the repeal of said copyright law. And so in all cases of backwaters laws that are used to "protect interests" of "corporations" yet criminalize petty individual cases.

This of course cannot be allowed to happen, so the the legal system is just a limbo, a bar which regular individuals must strain to pass under but that corporations regularly overstep.

The farce of treating a corporation as an individual precludes common sense legal procedure to investigate people who are responsible for criminal action taken by the company. Its obviously premeditated and in all ways an illicit act knowingly perpetrated by persons. The only discourse should be about upending this penthouse legalism.

They built large-masonry structures without laying down roads, or apparently sewers either. Some of the structures are sitting atop raised foundations, higher than the others, yet apparently without stairs or ramps.

Many of the roofs in the background appear to be masonry, compared to the modern tile roofing seen in the foreground, and the masonry roofs are very weathered. All of the masonry looks like it has a 200 year old patina impervious to power washing. Behind it all and only slightly taller than all of the structures, a hill that looks distinctly dug out, and which exposed dirt is the same coloras the patina on the old roofs.

Ranking civilians is a wartime measure.

Yes, the real government is the one in agreement, and the "handful of issues" account for almost all of the spending. Their disagreements, in budget terms and in reality, are cheap and pretentious theatrics.

But I doubt the politicians "don't bat an eye" at 200M, for they know that money is going straight out of the economy and into private coffers.

The government budgeters are not naive to the economics of military spending. The cope about pennies on the tax dollar is naive about both economics and what the government is really doing.

This idea that government is incapable, dumb, and prone to mismanagement is a harmful rationalization, and simply not true. If anything, this thinking excuses the government to act that way, and then there is no way of knowing if they are purposefully mismanaging or doing so because incapable.

The entire Trillion is wasted. The entire trillion could be used for public benefit, or simply never "taxed" in the first place.

Very few people would willingly pay for military spending if for example when they buy food they are prompted with the option "do you want to give 30 cents to the military industrial complex?" And that "very few people" would not in sum render 1 Trillion.

The best possible use of funds would be "useful things", and these would produce benefits for people. "Nonproductive" indicates not producing these benefits. Government doing nothing is better than government "potentially" doing things that have no clear benefit or that are definitely nonproductive (like military spending).

That 200 Million is chump change only to people who think like chumps. In reality it is total waste, unproductive taxation that doubles as a counter balance to inflation, so doubly wasteful.

Chump together all the 100s of millions in waste year over year; the change to your chumping is not good change, its inflation and general impoverishment. Every penny of that 200 is a note in the bank of inflation and degradation.

How do i turn it off?

Web browsers should become outmoded soon. It was fine for bootstrapping the web, but now to keep up a browser must emulate the operating system and more in a single app. This pressure is the centralizing factor in browser dominance. Ditch the features, drop the spy protocol (http), just get the files.

SpaceX will continue "losing" Starships for a long time.

Deno ought to become an engine for the innovative development of web browsers. That is what we need, and what it could very well offer. Better permissions, protocol choices, simpler extensions, all around more options and control.

Business wise turn their deploy system into a resource for the browser base, for instance app store, for instance flash compute/rendering, for instance agent hosting services.

This trial is but a showcase for the berg zucker.

Legal proceedings focused on "social networks" and "browser market shares" and app stores. These are ridiculous, superficial, and meaningless.

If there was really such a thing as a monopoly on social networking, you would have to kick people off the networks, not just stop the companies operating them. What would change if instagram had to become its own company again? The same people would own it. And that is why antitrust is a joke, it does not prevent the true monopoly of who controls what.

I want to see the frame data and rendering code.

Refined metal craftwork that is awkward to hold like a weapon. You are gripping a narrative, you are swinging cartoon history. "Not even a sword."

Bronze Age Battle Razors is a complicated explanation for such unwieldy items. The sharper blade of Occam indicates this narrative to be dull.

Healthcare became like public education in the USA, a political ideology that subverts the body politic to support jobs for people who do not have real skills but whose great granddad had 33 degrees in secrecy. In other words it is entirely a support system for the least of the privileged, while also paying huge sums to the owners and "providers" of those systems (textbooks, syringes, insurance, etc).

If U.S. Americans did not have an irrational verve for education as the supposed panacea of democracy, there would be no public education system. If they did not believe the intense pseudoscience of the medical industry, they would not care about health insurance.

But as they are under the sway of such false conscience, the system of gradual decline called inflation pays for unqualified people to keep a livelihood at the expense of a misled and deluded public. That expense is not only the costs of running these systems but their detriments to the health and education they pretend to treat.

The increased spending on healthcare is no different than spending more on education or the "homeless problem", it is simply a politics of shifting more funds into systems that are legally obligated to pay high sums for a lot of nothing. It only appears different than education because we pretend its not completely wrapped up in public spending and politics like education is. Obama made sure that healthcare would hold such a place as education in the system with the reforms to healthcare, and the people applauded this.

High incomes paying more for healthcare is simply those who can afford it using the system that ultimately pays for the health and education of the rich at the expense of the health and education of the poor. After all we know that nobody who is rich is paying any of their healthcare bills, they have excellent health insurance for that.

Healthcare in the US is an elite graft, the system will pay the full price. That is actually why prices are so high and hospitals try to keep price tags a secret, because the bill does get paid, and all those executives and investors and even the insurance companies all make off with riches, increasingly paid for by the public. The real crime is setting up indigent people now using drugs on the street to become a massive market for psychiatric medication on the pretense of a pseudo-scientific "disorders" like schizophrenia.

LOL this fake persona is named Calendar! The global warming charade is a schedule for other plans or events. You have been warned.

To doubt that knitting existed in Roman Times is preposterous. Thats like saying they could not weave baskets. Instead your incredible hypothesis lends credence to recent studies by internet sleuths that indicate history as we are taught may have an extra 1000 years added simply because dates have been mistranslated or misconstrued to read a 1 (one) where there is indeed an I or J symbol, denoting years since the Christ; IOW that that 1999 is actually J999.
