>these alpha disruptors who thought they were saving America by nuking grants for Holocaust documentaries and Black civil rights research turned out to be too fragile

Grants for... Holocaust documentaries? Black civil rights research?

>the demeanor of two young guys with zero government experience who were handed the power to destroy hundreds of millions of dollars in already-approved humanities grants, and who were now forced to sit there, on camera, and attempt (weakly) to explain themselves

I would like to see a video of those who approved the grants trying to explain themselves!

What does that mean? People who believe in IQ?

There is publicly-funded media in my country too. Guess how they lean politically.

Have you realised those in power right now are against you? And it seems to work very well for them.

>just like hundreds of other companies offering products with "Office" in their name

There may be hundreds of other companies selling products with the noun "office" in their names, but there only is one producing a productivity suite called simply "Office". I would expect launching another productivity suite called "Office" would be trademark infringement. Just like I can't release a car called "Beetle" or "Golf".

Yes. Those conglomerates also do TV. But Hollywood makes movies, and not talk shows. Many of those conglomerates also have internet access businesses. But Hollywood doesn’t lay fibre.

That’s because Hollywood makes movies, not videogames. You also spent a few hours driving but Hollywood hasn’t done anything about it because they are not in the business of making cars.

Gas prices are high because of sanctions; maybe don’t shoot your own foot?

Author is a self-defined “senior climate reporter” so take the reporting with a fistful of salt.

Consider using Google.

Maybe a celebrity gossip website would suit your interests better than HN?

Why would shops implement this. It would detrimental to them if customers could easily find the cheapest option.

What government? Do you know anything about Haiti?

You've got to be a real low-life to collect all of that and put it in a database that is not air-gapped.

You can overcome that with talent and intelligence. But since talent and intelligence are not evenly distributed, you have places with little natural resources that are rich and places rich in natural resources that are poor.

How democracy is supposed to work: well-educated women write the policy even though uneducated men outnumber them, work much harder to the detriment of their health, and are infinitely more useful to society.

The system needs to be torn down. I hope it’s not Palantir doing it, but I’ll accept it.

Talent and intelligence are absolutely not evenly distributed. If they were, opportunity would be evenly distributed too.

Yep, your comment is deranged.

I’m the wiz, I’m the wiz! And noooooobody beats me!!!

> As an example, I never see Japanese people on their speakerphones in public. Some other cultures seem more likely to view it as acceptable.

Demographics is everything. Import speakerphone users, get speakerphone usage.

The blocking of cloudflare in Spain shows that citizens of “democratic” states have no agency either.

That list of ingredients is awful.

“Red jalapeno, sugar, water, salt acetic acid, garlic, natural flavor, xanthan gum, sodium metabisulfite, and/or sodium bisulfite (sulfiting agent / preservative), potassium sorbate (preservative).”

I’ve had sriracha in the past and it’s disgustingly sweet. Apparently it’s 17% sugar!

The Nordic countries do not have the demographics of the US. There’s some kind of person who is not reformable.

They should put the reason before the text so you know none of them are worth reading.

There’s a lot of good for Jews who get to benefit from it though.

What we should do is make gas four times more expensive through taxes to guarantee the poor never vote for the progressives again. Unironically.

You can apply that too to the “man-made climate change is real” argument.

Those laptops look very good on paper, now buy one and tell us how it goes.

This reminds me of people crying over toybox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toybox#Controversy
