he's being remarkably honest: to those on the left, free speech is an existential threat, and thus "extreme right"

Well done! What a cool project and impressive write up. As KYC and Age Verification laws continue to gain steam, efforts like this will safeguard humanity's rights to freedom of speech and association.

What follows is not a critique of the author, for he or she is likely immersed in the same "banned books" media psyop as other Western News Consoomers.

As of this reply, the "banned" books in question [0] are:

Jack_London_-_Call_of_the_Wild.epub

Mark_Twain_-_Adventures_of_Huckleberry_Finn.epub

Mark_Twain_-_The_Adventures_of_Tom_Sawyer.epub

Women_in_Love_-_D_H_Lawrence.epub

These books are all available on Amazon for under $10. Further, they are often assigned reading in high school or university literature classes.

A thought experiment by comparison: what if the collection consisted of the following?

- The Camp of the Saints

- Culture of Critique

- The Turner Diaries

Until a recent reprint of the first title (which thanks to The Streisand Effect was one of the top sellers on Amazon), these were all almost impossible to find and / or prohibitively expensive. Note that I don't necessarily agree with the subject matter of these titles, just pointing out collective blindspots so we the people can avoid actual Bans in the not too distant future.

Given that it's their turf, is it reasonable to consider sabotage by an Airbus-affiliated entity?

Quit blaming AI. The UC system banned standardized testing during the race communism mass hysteria of the early 2020s. Predictably, performance of the student body is down across the board.

The other day my colleague asked Grok:

"Please estimate Elon's IQ based on his timeline"

It estimated 115-130. A decision like this points to the lower end.

The West is about to learn this lesson the hard way. Rivers of blood in the cobblestoned streets of rural European hamlets within the next 5-10 years.

Not to mention Age Verification / KYC being baked into every future OS and device. Buy and hodl to have a hope of independent, censorship-resistant computing in the future.

As the Qatari emir said in the wake of the recent Middle Eastern conflict, it's clear who's running the show geopolitically. Cui bono?

RIP to a real one.

Ashamed of the response of some on here. Here's a man who gave so much to the world, both culturally and intellectually, and all a few folks can scream is BIGOT.

Is this what "racist" looks like?

Is observing officially reported crime statistics and deducing which behavior leads to optimal outcomes a survival instinct or racism?

Which is a less dumb idea: replacing new grad junior devs with AI or H1Bs?

Thanks for the feedback. The document model in mongo was slopped together by a junior engineer, so perhaps an unorthodox approach. It is basically flat, and already used in a pseudo-relational manner via in-app join to the existing sqlite store. This blog post inspired me to think, what if we just chucked all the json from mongo into sqlite and used the generated indices? Then we can gradually "strangler fig" endpoint by endpoint

Would this be a good fit for migrating from mongo --> sqlite? A task I am dreading

Congratulations to Jared. He and the team are Real Ziggers. Looking forward to a faster Claude Code!

In my neighborhood (a Criminal Justice Reform Zone), the catch and release of repeat criminals caused a surge in break ins. The citizens organized and funded the installation of Flock LPRs. Several criminals have been caught as a result, and crime is now down.

So the impetus is twofold:

- Funding provided by programs such as Operation Stonegarden and other grants

- Activists agitate for Criminal Justice Reform --> Surge in crime --> The People clamor for Enhanced Security Measures and DIY
