gccs··on Cyber Attack, Possible Serious Breach, at U.S. State Department
Eisenhower waited until the very last days of his office to say something about it. He took no actions. He also neutered his speech by rewriting "congressional military industrial complex" to "military industrial complex". Yes, I appreciate he said something at all, but he could have done much much more.

It reminds me of employees at Facebook leaving saying its so unethical what the company is doing, after having received massive pay for years.

gccs··on Show HN: Reddit clone built in no-code in two weeks
Actually it is the exact application to develop with no code. It is a clone of an existing website, where there are already 100s other clones, so it will extremely likely amount to nothing and not surpass 10 users, meaning the performance impact will not impact anyone.

gccs··on Ask HN: If the F35 is so bad, then why are foreign countries buying it?

gccs··on Barbie launches six new dolls celebrating female scientists
>We now consider that to be propaganda.

We always considered it propaganda. Just like modern day advertising and marketing. Its all propaganda. They are trying to convince you to believe something (that is likely not true. ie: we have the best product)

gccs··on Facebook is now claiming official CDC.gov links are “False Information”
1.USA.gov used to be a blind bitly redirect service. It would redirect any bitly URL.

Example: 1.usa.gov/abc would redirct to the same place as bit.ly/abc

With no authorization or whitelist or anything.

I can't even create an Instagram account with my home IP and real phone number. It says something about suspicious activity...
gccs··on Cognitive deficits in people who have recovered from Covid-19
Hahahaa. The media sells you fear because they know it will keep you tuned in. It doesn't matter what thr current 'issue' is. They will always sell whatever will most likely keep you coming back.

News is pure entertainment. Its like a horror movie.

Coke stopped buying advertising once. Cause everyone already knows about them, so why pay for ads? Their sales dropped dramatically. Now they pay for lots of ads.

gccs··on Google reports soaring attrition among Black women
They aren't trying to force outcomes. "The interview process, while not perfect, also tries to erase bias by forcing gender and racially-neutral terms in interview writeups."

Its easy to boost your outcomes if that's what you want. You just specifically hire people of some race.

gccs··on Jeff Bezos Steps Down as Amazon’s CEO After 27 Years
People act like peeing in bottles is so bad. I really don't get it. Have you never peed in a bottle? Like they have access to toilets for #2 which is great.

Ask anyone doing carpet cleaning or another home based trade. Where do you think they pee and poo? They dont do it in the clients home. They go in a bottle or into a bucket in the back of their van.
