Is anyone ever going to use that tld for anything non malicious, non prank, and instead something actually actually serious?
Scalene2··on Micromouse: The fastest maze-solving competition [video]
One would think that would make him shy away from deceptive claims like the implication that a collision between two LEO satellites puts GPS at severe imminent risk.
Scalene2··on A Low Cost Approach to Improving Pedestrian Safety with Deep Learning
The things required to increase passengers per bus to the required 3-4 average to beat cars are well known. More frequent service, better route coverage, reduced prices. As these variables move that way, average passenger counts tend to go up. The layout of cities usually does not need to change at all in order to make public transit function well.

Scalene2··on AT&T Wireless traffic shaping apparently making some websites unusable
A big part of the reason that things didn't change is because that lawsuit and others like it ended in a settlement. If this behaviour and data was established as part of the judicial/public record, it would have been much easier to address.

Scalene2··on Deposit insurance maximization as a service
If I was a billionaire I would readily pay 1-5 million dollars a year to a bank that would guarantee an entire 100 million dollar account by not lending out any of the money. This would of course have to be a bank that didn't lend out any money at all and existed entirely to server individuals that didn't want their money held in a bank that used fractional reserve banking.

Scalene2··on ARM vs. Intel on Amazon’s Cloud: A URL Parsing Benchmark
I've been impressed not only with cloud arm performance but also usability. I had a hobby project that was using minecraft, javascript, bash, and such. IIRC absolutely nothing needed to be changed going from x86 to Arm. I got better performance (for my odd application) and better price.

Scalene2··on AGI in sight: our look at the game board
Without any explanation as to why, the article references several developments in robotics that have seemingly zero relation to its primary claim as evidence in support of its primary claim. Color me unimpressed and unconvinced.
Scalene2··on Does hand-washing or wearing masks slow down the spread of respiratory viruses?
1. That is not what the study found. 2. The reason that there is limited evidence that masks work is that the effort required to collect more than limited evidence that masks work has not been undertaken.
Scalene2··on Does hand-washing or wearing masks slow down the spread of respiratory viruses?
The question being asked: "Does hand-washing or wearing masks slow down the spread of respiratory viruses?" Your question has nothing to do with the question being asked.
Scalene2··on Does hand-washing or wearing masks slow down the spread of respiratory viruses?
This part in the section about limitations tells me that the only reasonable conclusion is that more data is needed: > Relatively low numbers of people followed the guidance about wearing masks or about hand hygiene, which may have affected the results of the studies.
