Is what Mamdani's doing with public groceries really so radical? Or is it actually a more conservative version (!) of military commissaries, which subsidize discounts for everything in the store? We talked to Errol Schweizer, who advised Mamdani on the project, for Organized Money.

It's not socialism, it's really nothing any more revolutionary than how military families shop for food.

The author admits the AI doesn't have the actual text so " The vibes can be right while the details are wrong. After I read James Jones' "The Thin Red Line," AI confused Captain Stein with Captain Staros, the corresponding character in the movie adaptation."

This is insane: TeleGuard, a 'secure' chat app downloaded more than a million times, uploads users' private keys, meaning the company can decrypt messages. And anyone can get anyone else's private key by just sending the user ID to the API. Possibly worst ever www.404media.co/a-secure-cha...
