I'm sorry, but "Palantir’s global director of privacy and civil liberties engineering"? What the fuck is civil liberties engineering, apart from the obvious?

I think I'm out of the loop here, it seems like the controversy around substack just popped up. The only left-leaning local paper of any worth is actually a substack account, so the anti-substack train isn't leaving me a lot of wiggle room.

thing is, electrons exhibit exchange so even though the electric fields repel, there is a finite probability that electrons change sides when you touch an object. That’s actually a bit more profound than touching.

I think it'd be better to just assume billionaires buying things will always turn out badly and thus hope they buy things we want them to destroy. Like, HBO in this instance - he could buy HBO and then sell of the parts. Fuck it.

Four cities would never, ever dominate the election, first off. Total the populations of the top twenty cities and it’s less than 10% of the total population. Second, again, land doesn’t matter - people do. The number of counties is irrelevant.

It feels like anything other than "this is our best student ever, no notes" is the wrong answer. But then, you're also aware that you can't do that all the time, because then they'll just disregard your recc.

The issue with this level of empathy (empathy is good, not knocking it) is that it's already WAY MORE empathy than the CEO had for anyone 'covered' under his organization. As a father I feel terrible for his children, but I can also understand why people aren't receptive to considering his family
