It's likely not bought with tax money. The company has various means.

The US government has a few people who do some things that require large quantities of gold bars of blind provenance, indicators of affluence and no accountability. They go to places that don't take US government checks or credit cards. When you have an administrative turnover at war with everything predecessor, some of these people get cashed out.

For some government agencies the ability to get away with fabricated backgrounds is a mandatory qualification. Somebody knew and decided they were cool with this.

No. Blue Origin blew up their only launch pad last night static firing the rocket that detonated. Jeff is likely grounded for a year and this stuff isn't going to happen.

They think center-left is ultra right-wing.

Some mostly sensible people consider themselves center-left and feel hurt that the he Valley types are calling them fascists.

It's all complicated by the 1D spectrum model of the French Parliament being applied to politics broadly.

The Left Authoritarians really hate the Right Authoritarians while the Left Libertarians and the Right Libertarians mostly get along.

It sort of makes sense becauae violence is inherent in the former while cooperation is inherent in the latter.

But the angry aren't usually educated im polisci at all and just operate on the Friend/Eny distinction of their tribe's momentary collective preferences, which can turn on a dime.

The Valley oligarchs will also switch allegiances instantaneously if they perceive advantage in profit or control with shifting winds.

The IPO is timely for many reasons. One is that falling birds have not yet become a nightly firework display. At 60 going up per week, at some point 60 are coming down per week. Some people are going to really not like that.

They keep adding timing noise to these API's as attacks show up but this really speaks to the need to have the noise in the core I/O libraries, not inside each new API.

If it's writing to disk in any way it should go through a code path with timing noise.

It would be easier on the feature developers too.

Probably in the network API's too. Have a turbo mode in preferences at one end of a privacy slider, maybe. Default should be safe but the browser benchmark people incentivize the wrong thing. "You get what you measure" and stuff.

It's an overseas market too.

Lots of defects in the case.

Somebody said his legal defense is that if Congress can do it he can. If true it could be an impactful case.

How deep are the grooves?

Does a dirty car or airplane negate the benefit?

Why do you think Trump bragged about arming these 'protesters' with firearms months before while Bessent bragged about running a currency crash scheme?

Whatever will young people do if there's nothing to scroll?

It doesn't seem possible to disentangle LEO lift from missiles with rocket technology so you can understand the argument.

Same with Starlink. We just learned that the attack on the Girl's high school dorm in Luhansk last week was done with four plywood and epoxy drone airplanes with manually targeted rockets strapped to the wings. Strapped to the top of the fuselage was a Starlink mini, per analyst reports (cf. Garland Nixon stream from last night) so operators could guide the rockets into the dormitory.

Perhaps with Exodus Technology's lifters we can get away from rockets for lift. I'm rooting for their success.

Some are blaming AI targeting but that just shows Musk is hip deep in the whole kill stack. Most of his stuff is dual-use, so there is always public cover. Same can be said of NASA of course.

Given the reference list, I suspect not ChatGPT, but rather https://magisterium.com/

You'd get a popup to choose the port and grant permissions.

Have you ever flashed a Meshtastic or ESPHome device or updated firmware on a radio transceiver?

That's what they're talking about here.
