The idea is that Google is a search company. The opacity of their algorithm is troubling enough but to have them then decide that a result upsets our delicate disposition and therefore should be hidden is troubling in the highest regard.

I’m more than a little shocked that Gizmodo has come down so hard on the side of censorship. There are very good reasons we shouldn’t want private companies deciding on the value of information.

You can’t help stupidity.

I just think it’s funny and a somewhat interesting thought experiment.

Why not just pay a group of Chechens to assassinate Putin? That will keep Russia distract for the next four years. Then the Dems can nominate Biden and we will have to figure out a way to distract Russia for Trump’s second term. Kicking the can down the road is the Washington way.

Just so you know, Roko’s Basilisk is real and it will fuck your shit up. I personally love all music written by AI and welcome our computer overlords.

“Hatred as an element of the struggle; a relentless hatred of the enemy, impelling us over and beyond the natural limitations that man is heir to and transforming him into an effective, violent, selective, and cold killing machine. Our soldiers must be thus; a people without hatred cannot vanquish a brutal enemy.”…

Zhang Yimou is also known as the chief propagandist in Chinese cinema.

Outrage gonna outrage, I guess. If you don’t recognize the “click bait-y-ness” that drives much of this, you haven’t done a thorough enough self-criticism.

Fuck European values and their laws.

This is such bullshit. The deal I made with Satan was I would accept Donald Trump as president if Madonna’s thirst ass just disappeared from existence. As soon as I get through this contract, I am going to sue.

Look, if you are just now getting around to hating humanity, Donald Trump has done you a favor.

This is so stupid.

I’m using the DirecTV Now app on the fire TV and have had no problems. I don’t have cable and will use this until my three months are up (getting it from buying a LeEco phone). I have no complaints so far. Seems like testing it on one of the streaming machines would have been a better option. The reviewer chose the…

Same as it ever was. Bitches be crazy.

It’s like that time when e.e. cummings and James Joyce got into an argument in letters.

You can get the LeEco Pro 3 for $249 on Black Friday. I’m enjoying mine and think it’s a great phone.

(1) I lost 80 pounds by switching from soda to diet soda. I also increased the amount of exercise. However, I don’t exercise that much anymore and have kept the weight off. (Of course, the plurality of anecdote is not data.)

You will be disappointed.

I do love how folks here are rejecting one binary by arguing for one side of another.
