Fair and completely reasonable. Can't have opinions, unless you're an 80 year old judge who was never elected.
Also reveals that le epic science redditors don't actually care about science and human advancement. Everything is "stolen" in science, in that it builds on something someone else developed before you. Technological advancements have been getting "stolen" (sometimes more literally, other times more "ethically" or legitimately) since we were knapping rocks.
Newton's original physics and calculus methods SUCK compared to modern physics (specifically "classical") and calculus methods, because we've had like 300 years to improve it. But you know redditors/westerners would be first to say Einstein stole from Westerners if he were East Asian.
Also goes to show that the whole modern techbro "open source" knowledge thing isn't out of principle. Its to outsource labor whenever the labor doesn't produce an immediate value. Techbros should be happy the Chinese devs made it open source, because THEY CAN USE IT TOO. But nope, because they can't solely profit off it, they're mad.
"Allegations" doing so much work here, it should unionize.
"Given political and religious discourse" finally a tech company admitting to allowing conservatives and religious extremists to do whatever they want. If a leftist called them "weird" you'd know they'd be put on the ban shortlist.
Adventurism aside, all "healthcare" CEOs deserve much worse. RIP bozo, hope whoever did it is cool, and if they are, they're never found.
What's really funny is that "Did not vote" has won basically every election in my lifetime. And yet when I decide I'm not voting for Kamala because I bit my tongue and voted for H-Dog and Joey the last two times and got screwed, its MY fault if Kopmala loses.
Mexico elects the same party in two elections: One party state, dictatorship, evil empire. USA: Elects a father then his son. Nearly elects a former president's wife. Regularly elects the same party back to back: Freest land on Earth.
Liberals worship of IP might cause their downfall faster then anything.
The one issue is:
- Genocide in Palestine
- Refusal to do anything about abortion
- Refusal to do anything about healthcare
- Refusal to do anything about housing
- Refusal to do anything about transportation/infrastructure
- Doing 25% of what they promised about climate change (which is already 25% of what should be done).
- Enabling fascism everywhere
- Being hostile to China for no reason
- Stopping all Covid protections months early
- Rampant "inflation"
- Social Security implodes in <10 years
- Losing to the Republicans
- Not punishing nerds like Fetterman and whats her name for not following the party line
Just that one. And that's ignoring the continued general Capitalist genocide, allowing companies to rule us, the rotting education system, collapsing meaningful tech progress (Remember the Space Race?), and the general inability to govern without resorting to marshal law.
Don't forget a big one. He literally did nothing when abortion got banned.
Ok at least the mod posted maybe the funniest comment they could (by accident).
The dox is a great read on how they did it. . Lots to learn how NOT to erase yourself from the internet. Basically, don't spill yourself online, don't reuse names, don't use your real name ever.
If you want to skip MOST of the bad crap or just want the details of what they did: ctrl + f "Joining The Dots" on the accollective link in the OP.
Some key parts: Followed a BBQ place on both twitter accounts Mentioned he was at an 8chan event in New York on reddit. Was in a gab leak and used his first intial last name email Reused some bitcoin forum username to promote his comic on reddit Reused even more accounts for reddit and twitter (and boosted his comics with them) confirming the link. Did some weird shit that makes it incredibly obvious his name is "important" like: Remove his name from random obits, claim a bunch of websites with his firstname/lastname email, have his house censored on google, and botch some scrubbing.
Not related to the dox per-say but: Worked for a soy company in Nebraska and got 23 bitcoins stolen.

$4m is nothing lol. Thats 80 researchers pay at 50k/year, for 1 year (or basically the pay of like 2 people for their career). An acre of land near here is at least 10k, so 400 acres. More realistically, its like 25k, so <200 acres. Its the price of a 'good' mansion + some land for ONE rich family. $4m is fairly reasonable for a "middle class" person in America to earn in a lifetime, or to have total in assests for a small business. It's nothing in the scale of a state (country or provence) level budget.
And that's not going into comparisons with mil-tech. Besides the cost of the planes that can't fly, there's like 200+ people on a carrier. If you're paying ALL of them minimum wage, you're nearly at $4m a year there. (84052*200=~3.3m)
Like, congrats, a dumbass like me could find as much waste off the top of my head for free, as you did over 4 months for unknown cost. These people should be locked up for the rest of the solar lifespan just for this butchery of reason. Again, not even accounting for the crimes against LGBT+ peoples, minorities, etc etc etc etc. The worst leftist (IE, me) could balance the budget, have every program they want, and be 10000x more 'efficient' then the best government these nerd could think of.
