About as funny of a joke as Trump 'joking' about canceling the midterms. I think we should frame these kind of things more like "so and so said they would do x to gauge if they could get away with it or not". Calling either of these a joke doesn't make sense. Not funny.

You know how "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," contains a moral lesson? Don't lie because eventually people won't believe you.

We're about due for, "The Jester Who Meant It."


Maybe the boy who cried wolf is actually about a boy who successfully saved the flock multiple times in a row, by making noise and commotion. Then he fails one night and the wolf eats him. The villagers, instead of sayin "oh, so there was a wolf after all" insisted on blaming the boy, because otherwise they would have to admit they were wrong.

That would be 100% realistic.

And looking at past years, maybe the wolf even have eating a sheep every night, because the people who were accused of hysteria and false panic were 100% correct and right.


You should go through all of Aesop's Fables and critique them like this.

Relevant short skit I ran across recently:

It's the gaslighting politics era.

Anyone who points this out is insulted because they are insecure and can't take a joke. Once the joke becomes real they will insult you for not getting with the program.

This is White House policy at this point, so you can't blame Marc Benioff for playing along.


You can blame Marc for playing along. Marc made a conscious decision to be a fuckwad, and he should not get a pass for making that decision

A century of goodwill? It's not like US vacvine skeptics are a new thing. Ol' ben franklin was a vaccine skeptic until his son died to smallpox. The new thing is the right has recently embraced antivaxxers as part of the coaltion.

Giving it a mainstream platform for a few political points was a deal with the devil, and they deserve to be condemed for that.


It's a product of the lingering sentiment of a country founded on not wanting to pay taxes, mixed with (often warrented) mistrust of the government and truely insane immigration laws all jumbled togeather. Yeah, we would be better of with something universal and more robust then the toilet paper they print social security numbers on, but we got the system it was possible to pass through congress.


... No offense, but have you ever actually _used_ Tiktok? This take is incredibly out of touch.

Tiktok is to early forums like meth is to black tea.


Only 100 years old. Wow. I mean you know the world has changed rapidly but it's hard to get perspective enough to really feel that change. Something about it only having been 100 years since televsion really does that for me.


Wouldn't the supply usually be either 50hz or 60hz depending in the country?


Yes, OP incorrectly quoted voltage rather than frequency.


I think they framing have the mother not working as a positive, as it tends to lead to better outcomes?


Would love to see benchmarks vs competition considering the high performance claim. Foyer is another rust hybrid cache, and quick-cache is the fastest in-memory impl I'm aware of.

Sane defaults and easy of setting a memory limit are two other things I look for in caches.


They've fully disowned Servo. On the plus side that means you can donate to Servo directly, and the project actually has a decent amount of contributors now


Duly donated $100. Thanks.


Money is more focused on rolling out AI as fast as possible, rather than dealing with the side effects of that.
