He did.

Now unredact Trump from the Epstein files.

No, this is to distract from his 600+ searchable appearances in the Epstein files and the vast scale of the redactions. Get the media covering something else quick. “Flood the channel with shit.“

Yes.

This will fry the brains of tankies.

You and I then share our disgust at our country committing an incomprehensible act of self-harm leaving the EU. At least you have the consolation of Scotland voting remain; England has no such insight. I would like to apologise on behalf of English and Wales for the barbaric stupidity that has been forced upon us all. And Scotland rarely supports rightwing UK governments, having a heart in the right place and a head firmly screwed on, voting left more than not. I can understand Scots wanting to quit the UK, but I’m very very grateful indeed that you all haven’t. If Nicola Sturgeon had been Prime Minister of all of the UK, tens of thousands of dead English folk would still be alive today post covid.

It works because the EU nations are stronger together, and musk can’t rebel against this fine without risking a big chunk of his profits.

Can’t tell you how excited I am to read this headline, despite the feeling that I really oughtn’t count my chickens before they’ve hatched.

The initial investment can be very expensive, yes, but a good underground system or largely off-road overground system in a city can be profitable from reasonable fares because of the sheer quantity of passengers it can move per hour.

Once you get to the frequency where you don’t look up the timetable before you set off because there’ll be one along shortly and you get to the speed where you beat the traffic, you start winning passengers from cars and them everyone has a better commute.

But if there’s only a few per hour and they have to mix in with the traffic, public transport is worse than going by car, so people don’t use it en masse, so fares are high and it’s not great.

I checked your profile and did not find any crotch shots, so I found myself unable to do any basking, sorry.

Mistakenly? Crossed the border illegally 20 years ago? Deported without the hearing he was legally entitled to?

Why is anyone surprised by this, and why is the article written as if this is the second time this has happened? This is what ICE does, all day. This is what it’s for now. Due process isn’t a thing, quite deliberately. Facts and legality aren’t part of it.

Making America Godforsaken Again

This graph clearly shows that AI is also shockingly bad at factual accuracy and at telling a news story in such a way that someone who didn’t already know about it to understand the issues and context. I think you’re misrepresenting this graph as being bad about sources, but here’s a better summary of the point you seem to be making:

AI’s summaries don’t match their source data.

So actually, the headline is pretty accurate in calling it misrepresentation.

You seem to think that if something is indirect it isn’t harmful, so being openly racist with your friends is OK as long as you’re not telling the people you’re dehumanizing directly? Sounds like you would think cheating on your wife is OK as long as she didn’t find out.

Personally, I don’t think there is any good or acceptable racial hatred, and pretending that there is is what got the neofascists so much political clout around the world.

I can’t think of where “racial hate” could possibly be “just stating an opinion” without also causing harm that is both mental and social.

Let’s assume there are 340million americans, half of whom have no penis and a fifth of whom are under 18. That leaves 4/10 or 136 million men. Lets say the ejaculate 5ml each, so that 200 men make a litre and 200 litres fill a bath, so 40000 men fill a bath. Easy. Swimming pool? 25mx10mx1.5m=3750 cubic metres or 3 750 000 000 000 litres. It’ll take too long because each man needs to donate about 10000 litres, and I don’t care how much jizz he’s claiming the over 65s are making, they’ll all have heart attacks if they try that.

We need a compromise of a hot tub sort of quantity. Say 2000 litres, (450 gallons or so in freedumb units) so we just need 400 000 men, well under 1% of potential donors. Very doable.

However, on a practical note, if a man took 10 seconds to make his donation to RFK’s hot tub jizz bukkake drowning pool, and ten men can surround it at once, even with military timing, that’s only 60 per minute, 3600 per hour, that’s 111 hours or about 5 days and nights non stop jizzing at an absolute minimum. It’s gonna go cold and stale, so whether it gunks up the nozzles or not, I think we owe it to RFK for him to go out comfy and we’d best leave the heat and bubbles on as he is gradually overwhelmed by spunk.

This has been a public information announcement. No guarantees are made as to accuracy or fitness for any purpose whatsoever.

Yeah. Some people love to micro manage and play power games, but it’s so refreshing to work for someone who has the confidence to just concentrate on doing a great job.

He’s a great boss. He really is.

I had goodwill stored up because like me, he uses the tool to several times a day, he really likes it because it makes some tasks far easier (v0.1) and I added loads of extras over the years, and it was me that dreamed it up in the first place.

The new server constraint affected me on the daily but wasn’t going to affect him at all for most of those three months, and even then, not often and there was a workaround for his usage, but he trusted me and he wants my end to be as convenient as his is (very fair minded guy indeed).

I would go a long long way for him. I went to his wedding in 2023 and we sometimes have drinks after work. He knows how it is, has been there, done that and got the T shirt and isn’t afraid to tell truth to power:

You know you like to have X? We’re gonna need Y…

Remember the prioritisation of Y you were going to do?..

Yeah, so no, sorry, we don’t quite have X, partly because of this and that mistake we made, but also we weren’t able to get very close to X because we never got Y.

Genuinely, cue recommitment of senior management to Y in the next quarter! It might not happen, but no shouting, no blaming, and rationality all round.

I don’t think they like it at all when he says stuff like that, but they love that the crises pretty much dwindled out when they put him in charge and as he gradually recruited more people who put more effort into making things better than shouting and blaming, and as the shouters and blamers left to find employment elsewhere where shouting and blaming was effective. It simply does not work on my boss even a little bit, and he simply never does it. Customers now praise his department instead of complain about it, so he gets a lot of leeway from management to do things his way.

Dunno. Always avoided electron because everyone said how slow and crash print it is. I very much doubt it, though. Upgrading from tauri v1 to tauri v2 is already non trivial to the extent that I didn’t bother for a new project because I already had bindings and config for v1. I’d be very surprised if they just copied election got the interface for their shiny new, more principled, faster, leaner, less leaky, more secure, “better” web-as-ui thing.

(I write only internal tools and I’m a team of one. We have a whole department of people working on public and customer focused stuff.)

My boss let me spend three months with absolutely no changes to functionality or UI, just to build a better, more configurable back end with a brand new config UI, partly due to necessity (a server constraint changed), otherwise I don’t think it would have ever got off the ground as a project. No changes to master for three months, which was absolutely unheard of.

At times it was a bit demoralising to do so much work for so long with nothing to show for it, but I knew the new back end would bring useful extras and faster, robust changes.

The backend config ui is still in its infancy, but my boss is sooo pleased with its effect. He is used to a turnaround for simple changes of between 1 and 10 days for the last few years (the lifetime of the project), but now he’s getting used to a reply saying I’ve pushed to live between 1 and 10 minutes.

Brand new features still take time, but now that we really understand what it needs to do after the first few years, it was enormously helpful to structure the whole thing to be much more organised around real world demands and make it considerably more automatic.

Feels food. Feels really good.

Tauri gives similar functionality but is written in rust, has good security models and is fast.
