Can we intuit that the casefile and evidence were handled in proportional typefaces?

I remember some old court documents where everything was done in Courier. Times New Roman seems to be a standard now.

Notice how the "free press" keeps talking about this as a "law enforcement problem" but hasn't once talked about any time somebody was threatened by a mugger to unlock and this safety feature saved their bacon?

Most common criminals will run when there is nothing further to be gained.

Big organized crime gangs, such as people at the border threatening travelers under color of law, are the exception rather than the rule. They got embarrassed that their dominance play didn't work, so now they're lashing out and they have thousands of people and billions of dollars at their disposal. "How DARE you not bow before me!?!?"

Convenience of fake cops doesn't override the rights and safety of citizens. Exact same issue as Flock.

Doe she watch it with her boyfriend?

I'm quite ignorant about codeberg except for looking through the code of a project or two.

I was curious because I hear people speaking about it in cult-like terms. I thought that just meant they liked it a lot but according to this article there's a herd mentality about excommunicating apostates.

Yikes.

Reminds me of when I was really interested in the Bluesky protocol before it got swarmed with ideology.

It never used to be like this. We used to make fun of Apple for their "no nuclear end use" license in the 80's. I also saw my first Mac IIfx at a tokamak fusion lab, so that's how effective that was. But Apple couldn't just press a ban button back then which has been a problem with SaaS for a long time now.

Lots of big protects are banning lots of decent people. We shouldn't do this.

Timeline hopper here, just through the gate from funny laugh lady land. Believe it or not in that line Musk is still the richest man ever over there - richer even - but he's a woke social librul because he knows which side of his bread has butter on it.

Notably, President Harris also prefers rockets that will launch to rockets that will not for some reason.

But don't eat the fish. Just in case.

>[T]he oligopoly seems to be facing the first credible challenge to its capacity discipline...

What an interesting way to describe that. A disciplined way, you might say.

> Everything about nuclear energy is expensive.

Only if the cost of oil wars are presumed to be zero and light water reactors are the only data point.

Solar probably still has the advantage for electrical usage in suitable climates.

Also, the Globalists seem to be destroying the hydrocarbon system across the planet right now. Some day the CoVID depopulation plan failed. A billion might die in Africa from lack of fuel and fertilizer in the coming years.

When I was at Dartmouth we had a very strict Honor Code. Students were required to report cheating too, or face complicity charges.

Cheating like this would lead to expulsion except in rare circumstances. Not saying if Daddy buying a building would qualify.

Those kids are taking up seats of kids who want an education but didn't get in. The filter is thirsty.

At a minimum the cheaters devalue the market demand for an institution's degree. If these kids get a diploma we shouldn't hire from that school.

It's worth noting that Princeton just abolished its Honor Code due to rampant cheating of this type. After 130 years. This isn't the Second Industrial Revolution, it's much worse.

Also, that professor is a legend for pointing out the Emperor's lack of clothing.

> You're there for an education. Cheating on it is only leaving you uneducated.

Unfortunately, no.

Now that High Schools are handing diplomas to "graduates" who in some schools have a sub-ten percent literacy rate, the Bachelor's Degree is the new minimum certification for employment.

With this AI nonsense expect it to be a Master's Degree soon.

This is a huge part of the reason College is so expensive - demand has spiked considerably because of the failed primary education system.

The NEA is a major cause of the student debt crisis. That'll bake your noodle if the old fashioned view of them caring about the kids is a goal (their lead attorney generously told the truth on that a decade ago).

One of their partners wants a comprehensive biometrics database, perhaps.

Flock, perhaps.

A certain foreign military, perhaps.

They could make this all local in their app with cryptographic attestation but for 'some reason' they want the data on their servers for 30 days.

Ten percent of the population will be highly skeptical.

A high trust society is quite valuable but it trains people to not look out for parasites.

Watching was a thrill ride from beginning to end. Still issues with Booster landing but they will sort it out. The re-entry tiles did great. The satellites did great. Ship did so well they will try for a catch next time, if there's nothing counter in the flight data.

Hardware rich development proves itself again. The next one is built and being fitted out for a launch just a couple months away. Behind it, the factory has begun several more.

It's hard to believe they started building this on a beach in tents, with a flying water tower.

> SpaceX always intended to discard this Super Heavy booster in the ocean.

How long will it be before a Chinese science vessel recovers the craft?

Speaking of which, can anybody day where the sections of the K-129 they recovered in 1974 is housed? The tower bell was returned to the Russians as a gesture of good will so they have it somewhere.

It would be an interesting museum piece. They say government can't keep any secrets but darned if I can find where this Indiana Jones warehouse is located.

I've seen his stuff going back to PC Magazine or Byte or one of those in the mid-80's.

Most of the columns I read made me think "well, that's obviously wrong, and why is he being such a dick about it?"

I guess some people like that style. Never my cup of tea.

Once I realized I was almost always right when I thought "well that's obviously wrong" I learned to just skip his columns. In my teens I thought it was wise to give everybody a fair shake repeatedly, but then I learned about opportunity cost.

To be fair, he somehow got paid for decades despite his track record, so he must have been quite skilled at the hustle.

"Don't speak ill of the dead" and all, but he seemed to enjoy people being acerbic, so here we are.

Oh, it's not just that, they claim 100 miles from any border now.

Since I'm in New Hampshire and there's no part of the state further than 100 miles from a border, I've had to inform my friends that we've been kicked out of the United States.

Our ratification of the Constitution by the Legislature is what makes New Hampshire part of the United States. If the Constitution doesn't apply, well then the ratification has been nullified by DC. Unfortunate, but not our choosing.

This would apply to any of the Thirteen Colonies that joined and are in this situation (Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware) but likely not so for the States that were never independent. There's a real territorial integrity conundrum for the rest of the Thirteen Colonies. Only a tiny sliver of Vermont, Maryland, and Massachusetts have Constitutional Law under DC's theory. Texas was independent and is in this half-in, half-out situation as well.

Of course the Constitution is what authorizes the Federal Government so if it doesn't exist then they have no legal authority. It's *almost like* they're an outlaw gang at this point with no basis in law. Might be better for everybody if they followed the law.
