It boils down to two main things in that article, possibly one… the Billionaires bought the media knowing full well the power they could wield with it, but more so, dismantling education leads to an easily influenced populace.

The pandemic was a boom for them because it created another “lost generation” and pushed so many educators to hit the breaking point and quit.

I irrationally hate the term “web3” (or maybe it’s rational). It feels like someone tried to force a paradigm rather than the natural evolution.

So you think it should be legal for any foreign entity (state or otherwise) to attempt to influence an election?

That license was laughable and blatant

Uh… recreational cannabis is not legal in Texas yet. Might want to pick another state.

Serial number? Wonder what his Jewish supporters have to say about that.

Thank you!

Is “rough sleeping” a euphemism to try and downplay homelessness, or is that really how it’s referred to on that side of the pond?

I’ve come to the conclusion, people who use vim just continue to do so out of a stubborn sense of pride for finally learning the key combinations.

folks that have been doing this exclusively for 30 years

And yet the number of people I hear “just switch to Linux!” When the other person has been using Windows for 30 years blows my mind.

Inertia is a hell of a drug.

That was just the free handout part. Now they can sell it again for even more money!

But I thought Trump said he was gonna storm the convention and demand his presidency back. That he wanted to debate Trump again!

I’ve done a 1PB sync between a pair of 8-node SAN clusters as one was being physically moved since it’d be faster to seed the data and start a delta sync rather than try to do it all over a 10Gb pipe. M

Cloud was never supposed to be “cheap”. It has always been a utility based model where you pay for how much you use it. The problem is, way too many people used is as a 1:1 replacement without rearchitecting their workloads, so of course it’s gonna be more expensive.

So does thst also apply if they say “God is great”?

This joke may have been lost in cultural translation. He’s most likely referring to G.I.Joe since in the cartoon they were always fighting the organization called Cobra. Don’t think it was meant as anything else unless I’m missing something.

Didn’t realize that Brexit was going that well that the UK had so much extra cash to allocate to welfare.

You can’t successfully use an email server on a bare metal machine in your own Datacenter

Calling complete BS on that. I work in a medium size company and we do just that. Don’t know what he’s thinking.

In the US, for public universities, that went from about $12K to $16K. I ask because when I was in university back in the early 2000s it was only about $6K…. Oh, and those costs are per year, not total.

Curious to compare that to the US. What years were those?
