It seems pretty obvious that Hunter Biden intentionally left it there hoping that it would be released to the "trusted media" and that would keep his dad out of the White House. Because he knew what his dad was like.

Except the "trusted media" wanted Trump out., so they intentionally buried it.

It's both. Most "journalists" these days just regurgitate press releases, and AI can do that faster at a much lower cost.

Yes, exactly. The "directly" makes it clear that there'll be no privacy when they want to track everything "indirectly" later.

It's all so tiresome.

It does demonstrate the problem with "misinformation" though. Some people will continue to insist it was true even years after it was proven false.

I don't want to see "trusted News" on social media and have deliberately not followed any of them. Apparently any Briton who feels the same way will now have it forced on them.

My mother-in-law spends all day watching "trusted News", which is why she has absolutely no idea of what's going on in the world.

> The talent pools are bimodal, you have a small pool of extremely talented people that carry the weight of the org, and enormous swaths of seat warmers.

To be fair, that may just be Pareto's Rule: 20% of the people do 80% of the work.

Putin stole my socks.

I curse him every time I open the tumble dryer and find he's stolen another one.

There's no need for "journalists" now AI can do the job just as well.

Are we talking about the same New York Times that got a medal from Castro for helping him take over Cuba?

Dude, I have solar panels at my house in Canada. I know how much they produce, and it's around 10% of rated power on cloudy days in winter.

I looked at setting the house up so it could run entirely on solar and ended up calculating that I'd need at least 30kW of panels and 60kWh of batteries and would still have to cut out anything power-intensive on cloudy days because more than two in a row in winter would leave me out of power otherwise.

Socmed badthink doubleplus ungood, comrade. Minitru doubleplus good.

"Misinformation" is just a codeword for "things I don't like."

Yeah, the Internet is full of nonsense. But one thing I've learned over my life is to never trust anything in the mainstream media. I know Alex Jones is a wacko but Boomers believe everything printed in The Sun is God's own truth.

Carney just says what he's told to say. He doesn't know anything except that he'll be leaving Canada the instant he's out of power.

> Wind and battery-backed solar are adequate to this purpose

You do realize Canada is at a high latitude, winters can drop below -40, and solar panels can go for days in winter producing maybe 10% of their rated power due to clouds?

Besides which, AI data centres require reliable power.

I believe Saskatchewan is already preparing to have a reactor or two operating well before 2040.

Of course, if the communists win the next election it will probably be cancelled.
