  • Do you have the values on which these back-of-the-napkin calculations were based? As a natural sciences teacher, I'd love to discuss it with my students as an example.

  • Not that I'm disagreeing with your point, but $65k multiplied by a hundred is $6.5 million, not $650k

  • As with anything, a positive state is maintained only by constant maintenance. Vigilance is the price of societal progress, and our society has been insufficiently vigilant for too long. I agree that each person should only do what they can to stay vigilant, but it is also a societal duty to be informed and educated. If it helps to know that there are people keeping track of the US bullshit (even though they're nominally satirists, but all of the actual journalists have been bought out or replaced), here:

  • Perhaps not, but I'd certainly tune in to watch it make a game try of it.

  • Again, the person above is wrong. They did not move the text. They "clarified" that what they actually mean is that they DO sell your data, they just try to anonymize it. This is specifically NOT what they claimed in the diffed text. This is a betrayal.

    "Don't be evil".

  • Waymond? Is that you?

  • Not everyone who opposes Firefox is a cryptodick. The person above is incorrect. Use a fork that doesn't send telemetry, or get a pihole, sure, but pretending like this isn't a disgusting betrayal by the only decent browser available is just factually inaccurate.

  • Children Of Time Intensifies

  • I considered it, but Novichok is too quick.

  • I personally prefer the idea of a Peace Prize which ensures peace by agreeing on people to take out and putting them into their own worst nightmares. Putin dies by Polonium, but only after several times being told he had ingested polonium, only to find out it was something less-deadly, but much more lastingly unpleasant, like dioxins. By the time they actually give him polonium, they can just not tell him and let him find out for himself. Trump gets to watch as his name is scrubbed from every book, every plaque. Full Akhenaten treatment, only acknowledged as a void in space where a legacy could have been. Every act, undone. Every precedent, removed. Complete Damnatio Memoriae. For the rest of his short life, he is acknowledged only by his prisoner number or, for variety, merely looked at with a sneer of disgust and a plugged nose. That sort of thing.

  • My only disagreement is that I think it would not be equal, not that there would not be devastation.

    Trump's ridiculous tariffs are doing the beginning of the legwork for them.

  • Ah, yes. They're all sycophants now.

  • Okay, let's be clear: there were MANY resignations, but resignations are not always effective

  • But while america has been investing in making itself dependent on foreign resources, China has been investing in making other countries dependent on theirs. I think that, if it were about the math of overall risk, China has less risk from the us. There are wartime measures that can boost an economy, but they require that economy to actually have the resources necessary to function.

  • Except that, if China went full cold war with the US, all they'd have to do is stop selling to the US and the entire US economy would collapse. Not to mention that economic sanctions against the US would cripple the country completely, because Trump would just immediately default on the country's debt (as he loves to do) and, oh yeah, the entire NYSE would crater to 0 in about 5 minutes flat.
