But technology is a much more expansive phenomenon, encompassing not only all the various tools and gadgets we can clearly see, but also a vast and mostly invisible digital infrastructure of software and code upon which our modern world is based.

Palantir Goons Reportedly Want to Remake Hollywood Into a Libertarian Dream Factory

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2026-01-09 12:05:46

Rightwing forces in the U.S. have long coveted a key fixture of American liberalism’s soft power: Hollywood. The “dream factory” that deeply influences the ways Americans see themselves and the world around them has often been accused of (perhaps rightfully so) having a liberal bent. Now, it appears that a group with ties to America’s military-industrial complex has a plan to take over Tinseltown and mold it in their own image.

Major Rule About Cooking Meat Turns Out to Be Wrong

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Gritzer 2026-01-09 18:02:46

Contrary to common belief, resting meat isn’t really about retaining juices, but that doesn’t mean it’s pointless. Instead, it’s best understood as a temperature-control method for managing carryover cooking. To use it effectively, though, you have to completely rethink how the technique works and how to apply it. Is dark matter real? How do consciousness and memory actually work? And is it really necessary to rest your meat after cooking? These are the big, unresolved questions that keep scien
