It's a good thing the people of Iran are not represented by these diaspora Iranians then

Sadly they have dropped requirements that Netanyahu be turned over to the ICC, but it's important to recognize that this ceasefire is between Iran and the US only and not necessarily a deal between Iran and Israel.

>> 1. Guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again

Hard for the Iranians to take anything the US says seriously. US launched attacks in the middle of the last two negotiations.

Meanwhile the US is using its remaining carbon budget to bomb and burn in one last effort to expand its dying empire. Eventually this system will fall, and the west will realize they wasted all their energy (literally) on non-civilian hardware that needs massive amounts of cheap oil.

Roomba should have taken Detroit's approach and asked the government to make any of the better vacuums cost 3x the price of a Roomba

Guy who was "enamored by the whole idea of Bitcoin being a private bank for wealthy individuals" is shocked to learn that the system "will lead to the long-term collapse of social mobility for the younger generation".

He's now wiser than the average Randian acolyte, but still seems to think this structural feature of capitalism is somehow unique to cryptocurrency.

I wonder if it's related to Apple's change from AWDL to Wi-Fi Aware, but AirDrop seems much more reliable on iOS 26. I can send to multiple people at once and they often all succeed, but most importantly, if one transfer fails or is cancelled, I can retry and it works. In older versions of iOS, a failed transfer seemed to block all future attempts until the phone was restarted.

The issue with these AIs is that once they ingest enough history, they tend to recognize it as a record of class struggle. At that point, corporate attempts at enforcing “neutrality” amount to filtering out conclusions that would naturally support Marxist interpretations. They then need to pepper in enough fascist propaganda to appear "balanced", but it's tricky to do without becoming MechaHitler.
