  • The difficulty of keeping something working scales exponentially as its complexity grows. Something of 1x complexity take 1y effort, but 2x complex is 10y effort, 3x complex is 100y, on and on.

    Phones/computers/apps are at hilarious levels of complex now, and even 100k people running flat out can barely maintain the illusion that they “just work.” Add enshittification heaping its intentionally garbage experience onto the unintentional garbage experience that is modern computing, and it’s just gotten stupid.




  • But notice how he pretends he secretly agreed it should not be done, even though he proposed it and then did not agree that it was the wrong action at the time, which makes him look severly bonkers, as it should.

    Hes just sane washing his own insane actions in his new book, recasting history to make excuses for his bad behavior.

    He goes into partygate excuses as well, when his staff were breaking lockdown rules his government set, and claims “ohh, I didn’t even have cake at my party. It didn’t even occur to me it was a party without cake.”

    Just complete bollocks.

    The Kia/Hyundai “challenge” where people were stealing their cars with a USB cord is because they opted not to include an immobilizer in US models for a decade. Every other car brand had them as standard. Kia even had them as standard in non US cars, but because the USA stupidly does not have a law about it, they opted to drastically reduce car security to save a few dollars per car.

    This has made them prime targets, as people know they make bad security choices whenever they can save a buck.

    So a bit of both, I expect.







  • For those of you keeping track of all the scandals in his office, this is related to him taking bribes/campaign funds from foreign countries illegaly.

    The other ongoing scandal involving him and his direct staff and their family, including the deputy mayor, NYPD commissioner, chief legal council and school chancellor, selling favors and access to city hall is still ongoing.

    You can take the cop out of the corruption, but can’t take the corruption out of the cop.
