I'd rather have Brazil be accurate for the future than Idiocracy. Both suck, but Robert Di Nero as the hero HVAC guy is excellent.

Christ. I'm guessing it's to be BSD so they can pull it back and keep it proprietary at any time also. Never trust Microsoft to act in good faith. We USE THE GPL for a reason.

Ridiculous claim. Both parties are exactly the same on this issue. It's politics and nothing more. No one has any idea what to do about it.

Well, mathematicians do, but nobody listens to us.

> a GoFundMe for a for-profit enterprise rubs me the wrong way

It should. They should be selling shares. The Green Bay Packers are similar.

> Huh? Chinese government is insanely bureaucratic.

Indeed. It takes a pretty big bureaucracy to be able to ban the wikipedia. Oh, and ban gmail & all of google. And all news sites in general. Can customize your bus schedule though I guess.

The contract with MITRE has been extended.

My guess indefinitely.

DOGE might be a bunch of idiots, but in the entire DOD, there are non-idiots.

> This whole thing seems like a big pyramid scheme.

That's because his scam of charging $8k over the price of a Tesla for "self driving" was complete vaporware. It never worked and it never was going to work. I am disappointed I fell for it.

There should be a class action lawsuit against TESLA for everyone that purchased the $8k self driving "feature". We were all told it was "being rolled out". It was a total lie.

Yes, that is awesome. I wonder if "go" works like that also?

Cool. It's worth mentioning again, because it seems to not be quite as common knowledge as it should be, C has been deprecated by GO.

Trump can just take the whole NOAA budget himself now and replace them with a legal pad and a black sharpie. I assume that's the plan. Say, we can just steal anything from any budget now right?
