Your Laptop Is a National Security Threat Now
Read more . . . →The Trump administration is considering tariffs on every laptop, gaming console, and server that touches a semiconductor, which is all of them. The pitch is that this will bring chip manufacturing back to American soil. The reality is that a chip fab costs $20 billion, takes five years to build, and employs fewer people than a regional hospital. Your next laptop costs 20% more by Christmas. Intel gets a talking point for its investor call. You get the bill. Howard Lutnick, the Commerce Secretary who used to run a Wall Street brokerage, is the one designing this. His plan ties...

This Week on coldplaysucks: Aug 23-30
Read more . . . →Forty-nine tracks crossed the blog this week. DnB and house tied for the biggest pile, dubstep brought the property damage, and trance arrived with six records and zero shame. End of August, apparently everybody had something to say. Track of the Week BOP - Rumination I’ve gone back to this one more than anything else, and it isn’t close. Deep liquid dnb built from a warm pad, a lonely piano figure, and a rolling break that breathes more than it hits. The gaps between the notes are where the whole track lives.

They Broke the Complaint Box
Read more . . . →The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission voted 2-1 on Tuesday to strip federal employees of their right to a hearing when they file a discrimination complaint. The agency whose one job is to hear you when your boss discriminates against you just voted to stop hearing you. Chair Andrea Lucas called the complaint process “susceptible to abuse.” The abuse she’s referring to is federal workers (prison guards who got groped, FBI agents who got passed over for being the wrong color) asking for their case to be heard by an actual judge. That’s the abuse. People using the system the way...
