Chamath Palihapitiya They had an historic opportunity and they blew it. There was a political mandate to cut spending and waste, prosecute fraud and abuse… and instead they do this.

you can't buy name-brand anything on Amazon anymore and trust that it's real electronics, vitamins, food products; we just got fake name-brand Windex. If i wanted alibaba slop I'd buy it myself. How does Amazon consistently get away with being a middleman for blatant fraud?

Dumb quoting story: like 3 years ago I was looking for some non-spill quick couplers for some aerospace sealant robot prototype. I do my research, hunt down ~7 manufacturers, and reach out. I email one sales rep the PN and asked for a quote on QTY 2 of each male and female half.

A contributor has done some incredible work implementing a termbox2 renderer & examples for Clay, check out these responsive layouts running in ghostty, with mouse support, images, etc. So cool 😁

Aerospace parts are not 100x overpriced because of paperwork or crazy high standards or any of the reasons folks often think they are. This is a part that would be $50 if it was an aftermarket dingus for your car’s oil pan, if made to the same tolerances/QC and with the same

I can't believe Epstein killed himself right before he was about to be acquitted due to a complete lack of evidence.

1) Release unredacted 2020 interview of Alex Acosta 2) List everyone who worked on recent DOJ Epstein memo - declassify backing docs leading to decision 3) Declassify & release all Epstein files 4) Full exposure of all client & IC relationships (domestic AND foreign) This

The math is not difficult if you actually understand it. Clearly, almost nobody does. REPs will need a higher than usual midterm turnout to hold their majorities. The economy is not enough for them to overcome the structural disadvantage they have in lower turnout elections,

Republicans are going to lose in '26 unless they change the game. They should aggressively address the two most hated things we've ever polled on: > two-tiered justice > election fraud

Mark Mitchell, Rasmussen Reports In my mind, possibly addled, this reinforces that while Epstein is a big deal in and of itself, it’s also a very strong proxy for “just f**king arrest ANYBODY important and make ANYBODY accountable for the very obvious crimes we’ve seen the past 4-12 years”.. I think if the

Rich Baris The People's Pundit Which is why it makes sense to run the investigation out of Florida. The Mar-a-Lago raid may come back to bite them.

Jordan Taylor I created a design for something else which works as a highly efficient expander for this kind of fluid. I mapped that design to Space Based Solar Thermal and it works, in theory, with a higher efficiency than Brayton. Once I worked out the heatsink (back of the mirrors), it is

Crazyyy paper dropped: Politicians from any demographic are always 1 SD further left than the median voter... and this holds almost in ANY country

Will The Supreme Court's Conservatives Begin To Disregard The Views Of Justice Jackson Next Term? Link in next panel down. RPs greatly appreciated.

I saw this video this morning on my feed and I think it so eloquently explains what Charlie Kirk was put on this earth to do. “When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that is when civil war happens”

This is such a good point. If you actually watch Charlie’s events—as opposed to the fake summaries—they are one of the few places with open and honest dialogue between left and right. He would answer any question and talk to everyone.

The defining hallmark of cancel culture—the thing that marked it off as a new phenomenon, and which made it so oppressive—was that it targeted speech WITHIN the Overton Window, often with the explicit goal of shifting it. If it's "cancel culture" to fire someone for supporting

Hey Mike McCulloch, had you ever heard of Ampere's forces? I think it might be very relevant to your work and QI: youtu.be/YHykWjtVdNM?t=…
