  • Funding

    Main financing has come from Goldman Sachs and venture capitalists such as Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's Vulcan Inc., Rockefeller's Venrock, and Richard Kramlich's New Enterprise Associates. The Government of Russia, through the joint-stock company Rusnano, invested in Tri Alpha Energy in October 2012, and Anatoly Chubais, Rusnano CEO, became a board member. Other investors include the Wellcome Trust and the Kuwait Investment Authority. As of July 2017 the company reported that it had raised more than $500 million in backing. As of 2020, it had raised over $600 million,which rose to around $880 million in 2021 and $1.2 billion as of 2022.

    The connection to Russia adds to the suspicion.

  • That doesn’t explain why he’s so happy about his plate of shit donuts. He’s slop.

  • I gave up on a DuoLingo course because they started using AI voices. I was doing the course during the switch and it was jarring. Even I could tell the accents and pronunciation were just wrong half the time.

  • They’ve moved up to ‘flays’ in the headlines now! How long until we get to ‘defenestrates’ or ‘degloves’?

    Some future anthropologist or historian is going to study the increasing violence in news headlines leading up to… whatever it is we’re headed for.

  • Dress code

  • But his approval ratings are in the shitter. This is the best he can do. Nevermind Epstein, healthcare, foreign oil wars, rampant authoritarianism and all that. Weed is popular. Maybe this will keep them happy.

    That might be a clue.

  • Oh, yeah. That’s totally normal. I feel that way about many politicians, CEOS and “influencers”. I just wouldn’t talk like that about people I know or interact with.

  • I think the people around Trump were feeding him false info…

    I don’t think Stephen Miller technically counts as a person. Unless a pencil-necked manifestation of pure insecurity is considered a person.

  • At least Starbucks will have something I can’t get for practically free at home.

  • Sounds like malice aforethought to me.

    Unless, you’re just talking vaguely about public figures that are doing awful things, it’s kind of fucked up to be talking about wanting someone dead. It’s one thing to hope Putin gets cancer and dies before Christmas. It’s another to want the annoying middle manager die in a car wreck on the way home. Still another to say you’re to stab that asshole if he bumps into you in the hall one more time.

    Wishing death on someone isn’t a healthy way to deal with your feelings.

  • I think the chance of AI being involved is 99.999%.

    I’d give Palantir or a related company a 90% chance of being connected.

  • Australia is spelled wrong in the image.

    And, damn, I was just trying to help. It’s not a criticism.

  • Raskin is being sarcastic. Don’t take the quoted bit to mean he really supports that decision.

  • Check your spelling.

  • Because, the hashing function is used before comparing.

    • Stored hash is “5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99”,
    • user sends “password”,
    • system runs the hash on “password” and gets “5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99”,
    • it matches, access is granted.

    If the user sends “5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99” the system runs the hash on that and gets “696d29e0940a4957748fe3fc9efd22a3”. Those don’t match. No access.

  • I just wish they would let you mark certain apps for never offloading.

    I like that it offloads that game I haven’t played in a month or that calorie counter I tried and didn’t like. But, there are some that sit unused for long periods until I absolutely do need them.

  • The judge should toss the case just on the absurdity of the amount of money he’s asking for.

  • It’s the essence of tribalism. Before genes it was blood. People were (are) judged by their names, style of dress, language, pallor, etc.

    Humans evolved to survive in small groups and identifying those in and out of the group was important. Now, we struggle to overcome those instincts.
