Terrible cable management.

"The cuts did not impact employees within TBD Labs, which includes many of the top-tier AI hires brought into Meta this summer, people familiar told CNBC."

For a more detailed analysis of why the AI bubble is doomed, check out this piece: https://futurism.com/future-society/ai-data-centers-finances

"In his previous analysis, Kupperman assumed it would take the tech industry $160 billion of revenue to break even on data center spending in 2025 alone. And that’s assuming an incredibly generous 25 percent gross margin — not to mention the fact that the industry’s actual AI revenue is closer to $20 billion annually, as the investment manager noted in his previous blog.

“In reality, the industry probably needs a revenue range that is closer to the $320 billion to $480 billion range, just to break even on the capex to be spent this year,” Kupperman posited in his updated essay. "

Not Harry Truman, but rather his Sec of War Henry Stimson

I appreciate you actually having an answer for this. I assume the "withoutNazism" version was just made mostly in jest as a respone to the "withoutCommunism" one by someone who disliked the "authoritarianism = Communism" logic

I agree generally with Ken's sentiment but I actually think that, while the media does fear-monger over the wrong things, they should not be looked at as overall fear-mongers. I think they could do a much better job of highlighting the points at which the Trump administration crosses boundaries, instead of reporting on incidents in a way that normalizes them. For example, the fact ICE killed a guy in Chicago for basically just reacting in a normal way should be highlighted way more. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/police-records-witness-accounts-complicate-dhs-narrative-fatal-chicago-area-ice-2025-09-24/

It's likely his sights were zeroed for 50 yards and he shot from about 150 so aiming at chest resulted in neck https://www.thearmorylife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/article-is-your-carbines-zero-wrong-1.jpg

This was nearly an hour after he was shot, when everyone was still crouched down and confused. The video posted by the NYPost says it was 50 minutes after he was shot. I think the guy was trying to recreate the energy from the Trump assassination attempt, when people chanted USA, maybe not realizing how serious it was.
