In 2021, Canadian media and institutions basically hallucinated the discovery of 215 children’s bodies in a mass grave near a former Catholic residential school. The evidence: radar saw soil disturbances that could have been tree roots. A wave of church arsons ensued. People making the case for censorship often urge that destructive manias like this can be suppressed/soothed if we prevent people from communicating about them. And here was a perfect case: false information was being recklessly (or maliciously) amplified, leading to literal hate crimes. Shouldn’t the censors do something? But the mass-grave craze infected the censorship class, so opposition got targeted instead. At least one “disinformation” NGO categorized skepticism as “hate speech,” and Canada even saw efforts to criminalize so-called “denialism” (drawing an absurd comparison to the Holocaust). Good for the Globe and Mail to come clean.
Wow. The editorial board of the Globe & Mail just flat out admitted that it screwed up by failing to scrutinize the false 2021 claims that “unmarked graves” had been “confirmed” at Kamloops. It’s taken five years, which is a disgrace, but give them credit for finally saying it

Because over 90% of rapes are committed by serial rapists. A tiny number of men can offend against a large number of women.
Your thoughts on this?

Open source will evolve from downstream contributors pushing upstream, to upstream "sources of truth" pulling from downstream "idea networks." This will happen gradually, but inevitably, and eventually, with totality.

Any upstream source that steadfastly refuses to "gather" from the downstream idea network will eventually be cast aside as the source of truth, by the most gravitationally attractive downstream source that does.

If you doubt it, take any open source project you like *but think could be fundamental better*, fork it, and spend a weekend with Codex/CC making a better version. If you're a halfway competent developer, you will succeed. The status quo can't handle this at scale.

Yeah, that is why we need to let the free market compete and get the government out of healthcare.

Bill C-22 is facing growing opposition from across the political and tech spectrum. Signal says it could leave Canada. Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke calls the bill “a huge mistake.” Apple, Meta, NordVPN, Windscribe, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, and even U.S. Congressional leaders are raising alarms about privacy, cybersecurity, and mass surveillance risks. thebureau.news/p/bill-c-22-s…

We were genuinely robbed of Prey 2. Easily one of the most tragic, heartbreaking cancellations in gaming history. It looked lightyears ahead of its time.

The private sector keeps innovating fast enough to delay the collapse caused by political incompetence. Entrepreneurs, engineers, and producers continuously create more efficiency, wealth, and technology with less, allowing governments to waste and extract far beyond what should be sustainable. And then politicians scapegoat the very productive class carrying the system on their backs, blaming capitalism for the consequences of political failure.

I need to start by saying that I have no interest in arguing about where the line should be. What constitutes pornography? What sort of fantasies become so extreme that we criminalize them? I am taking no stance on these questions, so please don't put words in my mouth. All I'm doing is observing that there seems to be an inverse correlation between governments who cast a wide net criminalizing all border cases of CSAM, and governments who prosecute actual CSA. That is to say: the governments who go the hardest on cartoons, who institute ID and surveillance on the citizens under the banner of protecting the children, ALSO seem to be the governments who don't give a damn when millions of children are victimized and murdered IRL. Until the law stops being crooked, arguing about where the line should be is nothing but rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Arrest the grooming gangs, arrest the Epstein clients, then AND ONLY THEN am I interested in talking about where the line on cartoons should be.
UK-based VTuber and artist Mimi Yanagi was arrested on April 20 for her own drawings of anime-style characters. These drawings were 100% fictional, made up by her, with no real people involved. UK law still treats these kinds of drawings as illegal child pornography, police took all her computers and devices. She has now been released on bail, but she is not allowed to post any “adult” content. She must also use an account name approved by the police. The UK is lost, you can’t even draw now, they will put you in prison

Insane that we'll end up producing 99% of our energy from space, and send it down as intelligence. Literally no other way to send this much energy back — intelligence ended up being the densest form of energy we discovered.

Of course only an idiot would say Britain was communist. With oil, gas, telephones, coal, steel, railroads, electricity, trucking, canals all nationalized; with a completely state run healthcare system; with no one able to build anything without government permission; rationing on meat, bread, and sundries; no one able to hold foreign currency until 1979; arbitrary freezes on dividends; a 98% tax on investment income; with government ownership of the major producers of transportation; with frequent statutory pay raises and freezes across all industry; a third of all housing state-owned; with industrial planning done by the government, and them taking equity stakes in major industrial concerns; with government spending half the GDP; with every import of industrial inputs requiring government permission from the Board of Trade — yes, truly, only a fool would say that they were communist.
