Almost like he's a campaign donor! Did he fly on AF1 to China with the rest of them?

Government very rarely runs on merit. It's a terrible way to conduct anything that doesn't require killing people.

Sure, but border guards and spooks probably already had this exploit so the difference is minor. Their PoC page also says there's no access to Secure Enclave so perhaps the damage is minimal?

Curiously I saw some commits for an iPhone platform in LineageOS a month or two ago. Perhaps an option for EoL Apple hardware with working exploits.

He's the same kind of con man as Trump.

He railed against the Banks so when Ron Paul's Audit The Fed bill came to the Senate he cosponsored it.

Then behind closed doors he killed it to protect the Banks. Same way he endorsed Hillary with zero concessions after she maligned him and stole the primary.

It's all Kayfabe and he's a multi-millionaire communist for his efforts.

This proposal is just the latest Theatre Kid stunt to get him some attention. The only kind of attention he deserves is derision.

You don't even want to know about the rumored blackmail event. ("Crying Bernie Sanders" is the most vile rabbit hole.)

> Just build some fucking windmills and stick them to batteries and you'll be fine

Please compare the human death rate of wind and solar to atomic energy.

Yes, workers lives matter.

Might as well do coal too.

Also, we have a moral obligation to transmute the 300,000-year waste that the postwar generation left us with (besides their mountain of debt and impossible Empire).

Pay the bounty.

The two other possible outcomes are Nightmare Eclipse (she's really on a roll!) or 0day sales on DNM's.

It doesn't even matter whether a decision to fix is made.

Gosh, you'd think $GOOG was broke.

It's important to realize that the so-called far-left Democrats idealize Bolshevism while the far-right Republicans idealize Fascism, both of which are forms of Big Government Socialism.

So if the Democrats are in power and they want to increase the size and scope of government the Republicans will go along with it 80% of the time. Because they know they will eventually be back in power and have more tools of power to control.

They will balk the other 20% of the time so they still have something to run on and false promises to make to their voters.

The powerful parasite class is corrupt as hell regardless of jersey and they only care about staying in power. So if it's endless wars to get bribes from the MIC or poisons in the food supply to get bribes from Pharma or Big Chem it doesn't matter, that get passed.

That's why we have two-tiered courts, warrantless spying, usury, rigged elections, poisoned foods, endless wars, completely failed schools, satanic pedophiles getting pardons, crashing wages, nondischargable debt, unaffordable healthcare, food, housing, etc.

The vast majority of voters in any party want the opposite of that but are told to vote for "the lesser of two evils" which admits to an inherently evil system.

The Framers constructed a system of subsidiarity but that's long gone, its vestiges only permitted to prevent a real Revolution.

> Vote accordingly.

The only thing they fear is an election where nobody participate because they know they're screwed regardless of outcome.

After that real change has a chance of happening but it's never comfortable.

It's all well and good until Lore steals Data's emotion chip.

The scheme I'm seeing the game theory people put out:

1. IPO to pay off the investors (political oligarchs)
2. Fear monger about China.
3. Bubble bursts.
4. Nationalize all the massive new data centers "to stop China".
5. Hand over the data centers to the "National Security State" now merged with a tiny violent Middle East colony.
6. Turn the apparatus inward to implement the AI Surveillance Police State (ASPS).
7. Blackmail the Boomers to send control eastward.

It's worth defending against even if the odds are low.

Are these the glasses the Visitors wore in V: The Miniseries?

Definitely not something a human would wear.

Do any adults actually use Snap? I thought it was just kids. Kids who have a few grand laying around these days?

Maybe they'll pair with an absurd Commodore flip phone.

On the other hand we may be seeing Malicious Compliance from Snap workers. If so, well played.

Or there are no workers and some LLM is running the whole thing.

So many possible ways this went horribly wrong.

HTC phones from OEM don't come with Unit 8200 APT implants so they're inferior?

Trump recently said that True MAGA is whatever Mark Levin is saying so I'm trying to steelman.

Or StealMan in this case?

Is that correct?

I'm trained as a righty (born ambi) so my fighting stance is left side out, left arm blocking, right arm striking, initially.

That results in hips and stance angled to my right.

I'm cross-eye dominant so I always second-guess, but I don't remember the other students in martial arts class being different.

True Threats have a legal standard and specificity of person, place, and time are elements.

Criminal Threatening usually has a state statute.

The summary sounds much more like "muh feels" and conclusory pleading so it's probably not true to the legal standard.

How many arrests were made?

Also getting arrested for a social media post is a special kind of stupid on all sides
  Posts are almost always powerless and can just get you in trouble. Don't do it to blow off steam. Or for clout.

Not worth it, get out there and take action if you mean it. Don't blab about illegal fantasies.

like a bounty-seeker scorned.

Shoulda just paid 'em.

He sounds quite knowledgeable and it looks like he'll continue whipping Defender until morale improves.

It's worth noting that the black market would pay handsomely for most of his discoveries but retribution is sweeter than cash.

I get the sentiment.

Criminals is the excuse, an AI Surveillance Police State is the point.

Everything in the rule is sensible for a dictator.

I searched the CVE and saw dozens of "One Character Flaw" articles.

I wonder who came up with that angle.

It appears journalists bit on that phrase for clickbait. It got an article here, eh?

At least for Debian if you're current it hasn't been a concern for months, going by the version numbers. So not actually news, actionable, or interesting.
