These do not seem to be mutually exclusive. Should we not do both?

“The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit—and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountain.

"And the smell of rot fills the country.“ (Chapter 35)

This passage had a profound impact on me when I first read it in high school. Only later did I discover that such atrocities still happen regularly today.

Or HCL? Or LAB? Any of these are more intuitive than RGB.

This could be useful for writing report card comments! Source: I'm a teacher. It's report card season. :)

My hot take: if a founder can't spin up a simple, self-hosted webform of some sort, I'm already wary of their technical skills.

Great? Maybe! But this doesn't say, "We are removing Copilot from apps."

What contemporary films, TV, it books scratch the same itch as "Hackers." Folks are mentioning Mr. Robot. What else?

You're employing some polarizing language yourself. Calling people "illegals" because of their immigration status demeans them. Beyond that, this language is often used to justify illegal restrictions of their civil rights. Immigrants, regardless of their legal status, have civil rights and human rights.

I noticed exactly the same thing. I don't recall which day it started (probably this past Sunday), but it was as if a switch flipped. My For You Page no longer has anything to do with my preferences. I'm familiar with Tiktok nudging me in different directions in the past, but I was always able to steer it back to videos I was interested in within 10-15 minutes. Three days later, and it's as if Tiktok not only has forgotten everything about my watch history, it also hasn't learned. That said, it doesn't seem to be entirely about politics. I had a mix of political/protest related content, native plant content, and woodworking videos on my For You Page. None of those are showing up for me.

Apart from the alarming privacy implications of these proposed rules, I wonder how FIFA might feel about this, ahead of the World Cup. Maybe they could award Trump a privacy prize if his administration backs down from this.

We should create a committee to see if this actually has an effect. A minimum of 24 members should be sufficient. After we have a quorum, we can independently test your hypothesis and report back to the committee. Once we reach consensus, let's report back to this thread.
