"Our actual system doesn't benefit the elite (on balance); it benefits no one. ... is not an oligarchy leveraging its power to steer government to the wealthy's ends. Our system is vultures feeding on the carcass of a dead water buffalo" @lessig "They don't represent us"
Thiel on Trump:
“There are a lot of things I got wrong... was crazier than I thought. It was more dangerous than I thought.”
“You wish they’d appointed more competent people.”
“administration is… staffed by not very smart but very loyal people”
@Anakoyher Раньше просто выпивки хватало: https://t.co/SLDBdZV8F6 "Candidate George Washington plied potential voters with 47 gallons of beer, 35 gallons of wine, 2 gallons of cider, 3 1/2 pints of brandy and a whopping 70 gallons of rum punch. He carried the election with 310 votes."
@ATT Foster City fiber outage lasted 5 days+, they confirmed this in their app (there is an outage, you will get the refund) each day, the bill had credit for 1 day. Worthless guarantee.
@aalien@3insy Комната лечится полностью w/ digital room corrector, e.g. minidsp ddrc-24 - 17 точек измерения микрофоном и настройка dsp включенным софтом Dirac. My best investment imo.

@ZakMay_USA Многим TTS движкам (AWS Polly, MS Azure, Google) можно интонацию через SSML задавать - тот же Клод тебе начальную разметку может сделать, а там можно и руками поправить
I asked a local councillor if the russian refinery here in Ireland should be sanctioned.
He said yes, if it was supplying Israel.
But Russia? No.
This is Ireland’s sanctions hypocrisy in 90 seconds.
For weeks, Irish politicians have dodged questions about the refinery in Ireland supplying Russia’s war machine.
So I tracked down government minister Niall Collins at a farming show.
He refuses to back sanctions & his stance was worse than I expected.
Avoidance.
@girlfrommuseum "Alona Shkrum, Ukraine’s first deputy minister for regional development, told Bellingcat that Kyiv had raised concerns with Saudi Arabia and received assurances that its authorities were working to counter violations of international maritime law."
@SiberiaWest@pilot_litvinov Солонин приводит только факты которые укладываются в его теорию гибели самолета Качинского. Если даже ��росто пролистать официальное расследование, его теория перестает иметь всякий смысл. Литвинов привел только один из пропущенных фактов.
Офигенная (и очень длинная) статья про историю блокировок и цензуры в интернете, а так же про нынешнюю ситуацию:
