Repeat after me: Russia has no legitimate security concerns; only its neighbours do. Russia has been the only one invading others.

Amongst various other reasons, the NRO satellites are launched there. These are classified like a tier above Top Secret.

WHY DOES NASA HAVE A FUCKING PARAMILITARY. AAAGHHHHH

As if there weren’t enough bad takes from 404. Like the argument is that it’s better to have software with unknown vulnerabilities, than to discover and patch vulnerabilities with the help of AI. And of course had to mention slop, because no AI hater can make any argument without mentioning slop.

wrote about "Black October," the PHP vulnerability, and the AI-fueled dread and panic I'm seeing among almost all of the cybersecurity experts I've ever known. I think people w/ LLMs are brute forcing software the same way they brute forced social media w/ slop www.404media.co/php2shell-bl...

Make it make sense, Commander Data’s hardware config is 60 TOPS (they don’t specify what kind of operations, 60 TFLOPS would be on par with RTX 5080), but 100 PB of storage (3,000~5,000 hard drives).

The fact that the PHP Foundation leaked this a day prior to releasing patches after getting 6 weeks lead time and knew about the memory issue for two years is somehow… AI’s fault.

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

If Supreme Court makes distilling legal, Dario is going to be so mad!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court agrees to review Reconstruction-era ban on distilling spirits in private homes.

Why do people think it’s part of the mortgage? Because in the standard setup it goes through mortgage escrow rather than paid directly. Most people too financially illiterate to actually look at the detailed breakdown of what they’re paying.

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

Russian military satellite Kosmos 2612 is now closely shadowing ICEYE-X36, a radar satellite supporting Ukraine, after maneuvering into nearly the same orbit. Such proximity could allow Russia to monitor or interfere with transmissions and potentially position itself for an anti-satellite operation

Q: Can Ukraine win this war without the US? Zelenskyy: "If it's without the US' support, it's very difficult. But if the US will support Putin, I mean, it's unbelievable. It's a historic mistake and big tragedy. If the US officially will take the side of Russia, of course we will not prevail,

5 Russian drones struck Moldova this week. 2 Russian drones were shot down in Romanian airspace yesterday. These are not accidents. They are hybrid warfare, normalizing Russian strikes outside Ukraine. If they are permitted, they will continue and grow in number and damage.

One weird thing about “do not track” is that I now get an Expedia ad saying “you haven’t seen the sun in months”. I live in California.

I can understand that people in California due local patriotism drink California wines, which are mid otherwise. Why would anyone elsewhere choose them over French, Argentinian, Italian, or Spanish is beyond me.

Without American wine on Canadian shelves, Canadians are also missing out on tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue they would obtain from selling our wine.

Cyber people have said forever that ad blockers are a crucial security tool but I don't think it's ever been so explicit as this.

A living proof that taking out Yandex did not in fact stop Putin’s trolls.

After years of warnings that the war in Ukraine could spiral into a full-on Russia-Europe conflagration, the conflict has reached a point where this is a real possibliity. It’s a prospect that threatens not just European lives but the entire globe.

boy Trump fucked the American auto industry. first he yanks their EV subsidies, leading them to slash production and write off tens of billions in investment, then he jacks up the price of oil by 50%, leading to skyrocketing EV demand going almost entirely to China bc GM et al left the market

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

Today, Ukraine and Moldova take another step towards our Union. Negotiation clusters are now opened on internal market as well as competitiveness and inclusive growth. Ukraine’s and Moldova’s future is in our Union. And we will support them all along the way.

When you divide apples by oranges, you get bonkers results like this. This mixes crowd-sourced data from individual cities with BLS data for metropolitan areas. So let's say for Oakland it takes Oakland rents, but San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley MSA salaries.

Sacramento is, by these metrics, the best value and some of the highest quality of life anywhere in the west. California incomes and sunshine with Portland’s prices and Denver’s access to nature is I guess a ranking-friendly combo?

hey ben. the guy in the picture here is an actual person, my friend’s dad, and a spiritual leader of Lakota people, Chief Arvol Looking Horse. not only does he support Indigenous People’s Day, he’s the founder of World Peace and Prayer Day. feels weird to use his image and not his name.

Period reminder that chiropractors are not medical professionals, but a members of pseudo-religious anti-science cult following crank ideas from 1890s.

Take a note that this is phrased as “America gives Russia the opportunity”, not “T***p gives Russia the opportunity”. This is the general perception outside of the US. To the outside world the POTUS represents the US. Stop pretending that “everyone knows it’s not real America”, it’s just not true.

ZELENSKYY: At this very moment, when we are talking about peace, America gives Russia the opportunity to export diesel — that's millions, billions. It all goes toward the war against people, against Ukraine, against all of us.

Bartek Ogryczak reposted

So let's get this straight: Russia just murdered over 65 people in Ukraine in less than 48 hours. Crushed a building on top of sleeping families to celebrate Putin's birthday. And today, the U.S. announces that they are lifting sanctions on Russian diesel and planning to buy some,
