News discussed: There was a Biden vs Lettuce! The Lettuce won. CrowdStrike Falcon is endpoint monitoring software. (doesn’t just protect from malicious code, also tracks assets). Reminder: Any time you have auto-update enabled for anything, you have installed a free backdoor The UBI experiment actually showed a lot of major upsides! Increased entrepreneurship, people held out longer for better jobs (which contributed to the lower employment number!), young people got more edu and single parents did more child raising, people were able to leave abusive relationships. Looking at naive averages isn’t that useful. (also AskWhoCastsAI is one of my fav podcasts) The World Central Kitchen fuckup has been investigated. “An Australian review into the deaths said the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) decided to launch missiles at the convoy after mistakenly believing it was being hijacked by Hamas” Leaked Zoom recording of white house staff &amp; DNC discussing how to best censor reports of Biden’s mental decline. Most interesting part is how polite the threats are. Stuff like ‘you say you’re reducing disinformation, but it looks like this disinformation about Biden’s decline is still up on facebook.
