Thug Putin Invades Ukraine

Under bullshit pretenses, thug Putin has invaded the democratic, free, sovereign, absolute right-to-exist Ukraine. This is just as much about China, as it is about Russia.

Google Bids for DoD Contract
no gradient
Google has entered the ring alongside Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle to bid for Department of Defense's Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability contract. You may remember back in 2018 when Google employees protested Project Maven, a Google DoD AI project that among other things sought to increase the accuracy of drone strikes. Google did not renew that contract but now they are back in earnest. Good. China and Russia seek to destroy us and the rules based global order that has lead to the most progress in the history of humanity. We need our best companies and smartest minds on this.

Facebook announced they are renaming their company to "Meta" as they shift their focus to the metaverse (think VR). This is a seismic bet Zuckerberg is making.
