  • The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US.

    Jump

  • It's that, and also an invitation to bribery, and also a demand for surveillance backdoors. And your router may need your biometric data to protect the children (but not from billionaire pedophiles).

  • AI boom risks widening wealth divide, says BlackRock's Larry Fink

    Jump

  • The CEO of BlackRock claims to be concerned about wealth inequality? Is he lying or suffering from massive cognitive dissonance?

  • Palantir extends reach into British state as gets access to sensitive FCA data

    Jump

  • It's unspeakably idiotic of Starmer's government to continue handing public data and infrastructure to Palantir right now. But the government is either too stupid or too corrupt to see it. Or both.

  • Scott Bessent is too inherently ridiculous a human being to take seriously, and he's not helping when he says idiotic nonsense like this.

  • Fetterman hit with brutal 108-point polling swing: ‘He is below the lowest of the low’

    Jump

  • I'd be concerned that any politician who had to be reelected every two years would spend one year fundraising and another year campaigning for reelection, then repeat. Only the shortest and easiest of short-term goals would stand any chance of being achieved.

  • GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems — group says it will never require personal information

    Jump

  • The article lists some of them.

  • Like most things, you are not as private and protected as you seem to think you are.

    That doesn't seem like a great argument for doing something that further reduces privacy and protection.

  • Atlassian Says It Had Right to Fire Engineer for Suggesting CEO Is 'Rich Jerk'

    Jump

  • During an “Ask Me Anything” video call with employees that included Chief Executive Officer Mike Cannon-Brookes (who was co-CEO at the time), the staff was told by Atlassian’s chief technology officer that only a small number of employees could lose their jobs in the re-leveling.

    “Employees disagreed in the chat, which resulted in Cannon-Brookes angrily interjecting to tell off the people who were complaining,” Puckett said in an opening statement at the hearing. On the company’s internal “Outrage Notification” Slack channel (a play on the “outage notifications” staff receive about technology issues), employees including Unterwurzacher mocked and condemned the comments from Cannon-Brookes, the company’s billionaire co-founder, who had joined the meeting from the headquarters of a basketball team he co-owns, the Utah Jazz.

    “What’s up Outragers, just dialing in from my NBA team’s headquarters to yell at the people whose careers I’ve just pummeled,” Unterwurzacher wrote. Atlassian fired her a few days later, saying she had “engaged in acrimonious communications and ad hominem attacks against teammates and colleagues.”

    So no one actually called him a rich jerk - that seems to be Atlassian's own term (!). But she called him out on his acting like an asshole (probably because asshole) and got fired for it.

  • Maybe people could leave wormy roadkill beside all the roads from his home to his office. Sooner or later he won't be able to resist pulling over for a quick snack.

  • Former Trump official admits that their goal is to impose their Christian values on other Americans - LGBTQ Nation

  • our morality is God’s morality

    That's because you invented your idea of God to match your own prejudices.

    Do I believe what God believes?

    Humans have beliefs and opinions. If you think that which creates and sustains the universe has beliefs and opinions, it strongly suggests you're overly likening it to yourself. Once again, you're projecting your own prejudices.

    Just another case of assholes inventing God in their own image and claiming it went the other way round.

  • AI still doesn't work very well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is coming

  • Thanks for that link. It has a lot more detail.

  • FBI investigating whether departed counterterrorism official leaked classified info, AP source says

    Jump

  • I guess it's "Trump, Hegseth and Netanyahu have knowingly been lying all along." Kind of an open secret.

  • AI still doesn't work very well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is coming

    Jump

  • This article says that the AI-coded Rust rewrite of SQLite ran 2,000 times slower, but the linked source article says it ran more than 20,000 times slower. Muddling up 2,000 and 20,000 seems a bit sloppy for journalism about code performance.

  • Democrats Learned the Wrong Lesson From 2024. The party still refuses to prioritize the most important parts of its agenda and make the case that they’re worth paying for.

    Jump

  • I don't think they've quite caught up with how the Republicans played dirty and stole the election win in 2000.

  • Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over

    Jump

  • The pattern for me is usually 2 or 3 days of analyzing how something works, should work or doesn't work, then 2 or 3 hours of writing the code to implement or fix it. Most of the work is not writing code, and that is definitely the easy bit.

  • He's at the Elon stage of feeling he needs to be more explicit about what an asshole he is. These guys seem to need recognition.
