"It is in the years to come that we will wonder, “Why isn’t anyone doing anything?” or “How can a court just unilaterally do that?” about issues that range from trivial to life-threatening. "

It's hard to explain how widespread the repercussions of overturning Chevron deference will be. Even if you narrow the scope down to tech policy, you're left wrangling a super-explainer on a friday afternoon www.theverge.com/24188365/che...

What SCOTUS just did to net neutrality, the right to repair, the environment, and morewww.theverge.com The end of Chevron deference will touch on everything from broadband policy to climate change.

idk why everyone's so down on kamala's odds here. she's not, like, facing any criminal cases, has not lost a case against someone accusing her of rape, condemns violent insurrections, recognizes that charlottesville happened, and is capable of stringing together two sentences that logically follow

I kind of think that the issue is that a bunch of dems buckled up to vote for An Alive Guy Who Is Not Trump but unfortunately what they saw last night did not persuasively check all the boxes

There's something that everyone gets wrong about the Ashley Madison data dump from 2015. And I should know, because I was one of the reporters who broke the story. It's my latest for @[email protected] (sign up for a free account to read). www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...

Washington Post bombshell: Washington Post buried Alito flag story for three yearswww.lawdork.com Saturday's report raises many questions, several relating to the fact that the Post, at least passively, made the decision not to reveal this news many times since 2021.

I mean like. chatgpt basically talks in linkedin dialect. the most banal restatement of a hipfiring echo blob of words that is approximately two paragraphs too long ……………. how many ceos are basically already LLMs

it’s the only thing that explains the explosive universal adoption of an at-best aggressively mediocre feature

my suspicion is that 80% of AI feature bloat can be attributed to one or more extremely cursed “tech ceo” group chats where these morons convince each other that their bad ideas are good, actually

no longer on an ACA exchange healthcare plan but those things can actually be pretty great? occasionally better than some of the ones I’ve had under other employers

As someone who's been a freelancer long enough to remember trying to get individual health insurance in the 1990s, those people can absolutely fuck off.

kind of weird to see the “ACA is useless” bs pop up again in 2024. it’s not great but like. y’all remember how much birth control pills cost pre-ACA???????????

this is a confluence of two factors: first, the political desire to showcase solidarity with Israel; second, the U.S. foreign policy establishment has a longstanding issue with the ICC — which we're not a member of — because of worries that American soldiers will get charged with war crimes

Silicon Valley tech leaders are now openly embracing Middle Eastern oil money, giving Saudi and the UAE unprecedented influence in the U.S. tech industry. “The Khashoggi era is over,” said a prominent venture capitalist. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Silicon Valley once chafed at dictatorships. Then came a Middle East gold rush.www.washingtonpost.com Virtually overnight, the Middle East has emerged as the most powerful geopolitical force in the tech industry, due in part to the Biden administration’s fears about China.
