After seeing this whole sector operate, does anybody seriously think they’re not going to be even more aggressive (criminal) than Ken Lay or Andrew Fastow ever were?
So it's not the dot com bubble, it's the dot com bubble crossed with Enron?
This is as close as the lawyers at the Journal allow reporters to get to "fraudulent fraudsters sighted wearing fraud pants and doing a fraud." www.wsj.com/tech/meta-ai...

I do not wish to be a dick about this, but people on the “left” like Klipps, Stoller and Grim only want Dems and the left to win in a way that, by magic, also helps Trumpism.

They’re ratfuckers. At what point do people actually internalize this?

According to today’s WSJ, over half of GDP growth is represented by dumping money into the Mauna Kea volcano. Stopping this may anger the volcano gods, so we must press on.
One explanation for economic populism in the US is the recurring cycle of bubbles and bailouts that happens without any democratic input

The "DOGE is gone" articles are clickbait but this one gets it closer to the truth: DOGE is not gone, it just claims to have "no centralized leadership" anymore -- in other words, its leadership is hiding in an attempt to avoid blame.
DOGE no longer has ‘centralized leadership’ under White House tech team, personnel head says
The team that was altered to house DOGE — formerly the U.S. Digital Service — is also still doing its own technology work across agencies.

Klippenstein?! Lying for clout! That’s never happened.
so it turns out Klippenstein left out a very important detail which is that its 170 crimes *of which a person has been convicted* not what they've been accused of
NYC's sanctuary laws are considerably more liberal than the Democratic party is now but this won't be received well.

And now the coach and several assistants are lifetime banned from the sport.
so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?
Riley Gaines climbed the MAGA ladder by vilifying trans women in sports. Now, teammates are speaking out about the real problems on her team: abusive coaching, sexual harassment, eating disorders. ow.ly/o3wq50XuCzp

Buckfast has to be responsible for Brexit somehow.
My freshman year of college was the last of the Loko years and they sent us all an email saying effectively “Do NOT drink this, it is TOO crazy, it will make your parties TOO wild.” which had about exact the effect you would expect.

one of the things i objected to most at at GOOG over the years, from the labor perspective, is the slow decay of the blue-collar routes up into corp. you used to encounter guys who started out swapping drives in 120 degree heat in the hot aisles and who were now SREs, and that's gone.
Yes. I probably could have put it better in the original post and tried to clarify in the next one
i don't want to discuss the ways in which this is wrong, BUT there are a subset of tech jobs -- like, if you are the only sysadmin at a small baked bean company -- which have the same cultural valence as "HVAC contractor," as in "highly-paid WWC job," and have the same politics.
