Hey buddy, they admitted they didn’t know what the star even was.

it turns out if you are all able to stop work at once (and discourage scabs from crossing your picket line) you have power, whether or not you’re an employee on paper.

You can assign each rational number a single unique integer though if you use a simple algorithm. So the 1:1 correspondence holds up (though both are still infinite)

For every integer, there are an infinite number of real numbers until the next integer. So you can’t make a 1:1 correspondence. They’re both infinite, but this shows that the reals are more infinite. (and yeah, as other people mentioned, it’s the 1:1 correspondence, countability, that matters more than the infinite quantity of the Real numbers)

I think he knows what he’s doing, since all he’s really doing is stuffing his pockets. Doesn’t take a genius to cartoonishly sell out the entire planet’s economy for personal gain. I’m sure if he manages to crash the dollar he’ll be thrilled to roll out Trumpcoin as the alternative and then rugpull the world a second time.

The dude really wants to buy his way into heaven with a last-minute, utterly unearned Nobel Peace Prize.

To me it looks like the Epstein scandal gives her a plausible way to transition to a presidential bid for 2028.

But it does highlight that any random brute could put on a mask and do this with no authorization whatsoever. It’s a fundamental human-rights and rule-of-law breakdown to fail to present a warrant. I agree that a warrant doesn’t ethically make the arrests anything short of monstrous, though. That kind of legalist can suck eggs.

Thank goodness that last pic is edited, the bird didn’t fall did it? (not ironic, I got worried about the bird and want a happy ending here)

I’m deleting Palantir, I think. I want Peter Thiel and his toxic ideology gone, and deleting Palantir’s data and software would meaningfully set back the timeline of unlawful surveillance of the American public by our current administration.

I feel like he got enough for it to be a huge bombshell report.

The mathmeticians already escaped to ArXiv. It’s open.

Subjectively, Lemmy’s communities are much more robust and have a lot more content than they did during the Reddit API exodus. I imagine there will be more people who choose to stay this time around.

While malicious compliance is definitely the optimal strategy, undermining the “legitimacy” of DOGE is also a decent strategy to take. It’s great news that Elon’s recent email gambit was (generally) a failure and he’s now trying to pretend it was just a joke. If a few more of their objectives fail in a suitably humiliating way, more agencies will be empowered to laugh them off. And I’d say having your own staff resign is humiliating enough.

I’ve got the Pokemon Quartz pokedex. It’s pretty cursed.

Let’s see him get sworn in in jail and have to pardon himself.

Theorycrafting this - Tundra would be a nice name. So would Mesa, Fen, and Delta.

he literally tried it once already, we don’t really need to speculate if he’d go for it
