50% of your federal tax bill funds foreign wars and military weapons that are then turned on civilian populations including our own.

Registrars that unconditional comply with malicious takedown orders should be boycotted outright.

“By mid-morning, icepi.cx no longer resolved. Its registrar, CentralNic, had placed the domain on serverHold.”

Especially relevant for the HN audience.

And perpetuated the system. Iceland meanwhile let their banks fail,sent bankers to jail, took the medicine and came out stronger.

Hospitals and health insurers aren’t really operating in a free market.
Yeah but I don’t use my real name online. /s
From warrantless wiretapping to extra judicial renditions, the US government has been a rogue state for sometime. Now they just have low-grade criminals and racists running the show, buddied up with media owners, O&G and the mic.
Re:AI promised less work. I've never worked more on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @11:36AM (#50260926)
There’s a flaw in your logic. The value of software doesn’t derive from how much you spend on developers. It’s a function of what customers are willing to pay for the service/product.

If there is no market fit, 100 man-years is worth $0.

On the other hand, if 10K customers are willing to pay $15/month for a tool that took 30 man-months to build you have a handy $150K/month revenue stream.

Just holler

What a small minded view.
Musk could be tried under espionage acts, Logan act and foreign agents act. Trump presumably is immune thanks to Roberts.
The “border” extends 100 miles in-land from the actual border and encompasses 2/3 of the US population. DHS needs to be dismantled stat.
Disrupt natural monopolies. Have government provide a common good.
Dumb rat.

The Biden admin passed the chips act along w the infrastructure bill. Too bad about their support for genocide and endless military spending.

Hard to say what good the Trump admin is doing except exposing the rot in right wing “governance.”
