The Cradle is an online magazine focusing on West Asia/Middle East-related topics. It was deprecated in the 2024 RfC due to a history of publishing conspiracy theories and wide referencing of other deprecated sources while doing so. Editors consider The Cradle to have a poor reputation for fact-checking.

The Wikipedia link entry for the cradle.

Yes but the biggest benefit of serverless compute is not having to maintain a server and only maintaining your code.

Depends on how brazen Trump gets. If he executive orders Elon and the Executive Orders all of his money goes to him directly, yeah... Trump can fire Musk.

Remember fascism is a concentric cone. If Trump decides he doesn't want Musk, only his money, he will.

I'm predicting that Musk will be fired within a year of Trump's reign.

Didn't r/legaladvice have an ongoing betting pool of who was going to get fired next?

Maybe we need to start one here.

Which is exactly what some conservative said when his account was diverified.

These people don't realize that the same concentric cone of fascism that they loved and voted for just targeted them.

The data is available but data doesn't make a fucking difference here. The people pushing anti-DEI policies are racists and they don't care if it's good for the company.

They just want to hurt people.

DEI is a dog whistle in that for conservatives it means woke. They want companies to continue oppressing non white, non-cis, non-hetero people. Or at the very least, not actively elevate them.

Costco is one of the very few for profit publicly traded companies that seem to have their head on straight.

If you haven't already, listen to Acquired's episode on Costco.

One of my favorite quotes that I'm going to butcher: raising prices is like a drug. Once you start doing it, it's hard to stop. We choose to find value and savings the hard way and to keep our prices competitive. Raising prices is the last thing we do.

Baby Orange is making it damn near impossible for us to have any decent relations with any nation other than Russia and Israel.

Which, if I had to guess, is the point of Agent Cheeto and his handler.

I'm clutching my pearls as I type this.

The National Defense Authorization Act passed both the House and Senate in recent weeks after months of negotiating between Democrats and Republicans. One issue in the bill was a measure to ban the military’s insurance Tricare from covering some gender-affirming care treatments. Other issues that were, however, struck from the final bill included restrictions on abortion access and DEI initiatives in the military.

Biden said that he and his administration “strongly opposes” restrictions on gender-affirming care for trans youth in a statement released after he signed the bill.

If I had to guess, this was a tightly negotiated funding package which of course the Republican controlled House shoved down Democrat throats because otherwise it couldn't move through the Senate.

Biden shouldn't have signed it but the Democrats shouldn't have bent over and taken it either.
