Clearview AI was founded in 2017 by Hoan Ton-That and Richard Schwartz after transferring the assets of another company, SmartCheckr, which the pair originally founded in 2017 alongside Charles C. Johnson.[12][4] The company was founded in Manhattan after the founders met at the Manhattan Institute.[1] The company initially raised $8.4 million from investors including Kirenaga Partners and Peter Thiel
Of course Thiel is involved. That guy should really be not around anymore.

Don’t give RFK ideas…
One of the frustrating things about humans and mass communication is the “for me it’s Tuesday” effect. For someone, this is the first time they’ve encountered “maybe orcs being innately evil isn’t a good idea”. They want to explore it and go through their feelings and blah blah blah. It’s a day that might change their life. For someone else, it’s Tuesday. We’ve had this conversation a thousand times before. It’s old hat.
It’s hard to be patient to faceless newcomer #3742 when you’ve already done this conversation so many times. They feel stupid and slow because they blend in with all the other people who brought this up. They’re bringing up points they feel are fresh and clever but have been discussed and settled already. But they’re a person seeing it for the first time. Somehow.
It feels like “are you stupid? We just went over this”, but that’s an illusion. It’s new to them .
(This doesn’t account for bad faith actors, who are trash and should go away)
The other day someone mentioned “digressive victimhood”, which is when dominant groups claim to be the victim when they are accused of discrimination or other wrongdoing.

Unclear how close they got to dragging Microsoft’s leadership out onto the street and murdering them.
Kind of reminds me of when people are like “If you don’t believe in hell why aren’t you raping and murdering people?”. It says a lot about the speaker
Well, there’s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_literacy but that’s not written for children
I don’t think, of your examples, trackers and surveillance are a big part of it. Understanding subtext and credibility are more relevant. Like, recognizing when a newspaper always uses passive voice when cops do bad (eg: “man killed after violent police encounter” vs “police fatally shoot man waiting at bus stop”), but active voice for other people (eg: “Looters destroy small business shops” vs “Downtown shops damaged during anti-corruption protests”)
Also in fiction, being able to take away more than just the plot. Like you can read Dracula as just a book about a guy that bites people, but there are way more ways to read it. When someone makes a movie out of the story, notice what parts they keep, emphasize, and drop.
Right wing people seem to have no media literacy.
I refuse to acknowledge this show.
I don’t even understand what this is trying to say. Some sort of “the city is black and black people do crime and now I want to kill them all” maybe?
Of the people I know who wanted kids but don’t have them, it’s two reasons:
Our capitalist hellscape makes both of those problems worse.
Easy paycheck? Crap lawyers? How does one become so confidently incorrect?
I haven’t played Pathfinder 2e, but from what I’ve read if you want something like D&D but deeper and with rules that work, it’s the superior choice. If you want shallow but still somehow complex, D&D is an okay pick. Some people legitimately do like that D&D 5e just has some initial weirdness to learn, and then you can coast on “I move and attack” for the rest of your career.
Personally, I prefer Fate for a light weight game. It’s also free. https://fate-srd.com/fate-core
Update: installed mint. Seems work. Had a problem where it couldn’t see the HD. Had to change an option in grub
Pasting what I found online to fix it:
“”" thank you so much! what was the solution!
for anyone might read this in the future: in the bootmenu where u can select which version of linux u wanna boot u can press “e” and then u need to add intel_iommu=off at the end of the line of the “linux” row - i had some double dashes at the end for me it did the job when I add them before the double dashes.
Then I could see the harddrive and install mint mate on my old macbook air
also needed later on to set the parameter permantent by opening a terminal and used this command sudo nano /etc/default/grub
edited this line like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash intel_iommu=off” then save and exit nano and this command for updating the boot thingy
sudo update-grub “”"
Whatever’s built into pycharm or vscode for looking at diffs. Command line for push pull squash etc
I don’t know if it’s true, but it feels like the Internet was better when it was limited to enthusiasts and people in higher education.
Letting every idiot post every word that comes to mind for the whole world to see was probably a mistake.
I feel like it might not be legal to record all conversations in all states all the time? Not that tech bros care about laws.
Every time I see one of these posts I’m just like how are people this foolish. Incidentally they seem to often have a blue check.
Maybe I’ll write a series of short stories about finding people who post garbage on the Internet and murdering them. Not like this whiner would know.
How do people come to adopt “government bad” as their axiom? I feel like I get screwed by private for profit companies way more often, so if I was going to just pick a foundational belief, that one has more “evidence” (ie: personal anecdote) supporting it.
I wasn’t going to see them anyway. I imagine tickets are expensive and I’m just not a fan. Easy boycott
