I think this might be the first time I've seen a Slashdot comment with a non-alphanumeric character that displayed properly. Nicely done, AC!

(alt subject : "Oops, all data breaches!")

Nothing to see here, just normal day-to-day government work circumventing the 4th amendment by outsourcing data collection to the private sector. This kind of thing happens all the time.

Move along, Citizen!

Tim could have made 1987 real by 2022.

He made various sizes of Job's last product instead. :shrug:

There are varying interpretations of "shareholder duty" and rent seeking isn't the only valid one.

Kudos for a decent northbridge in the M series, I guess.

The elder half of the AARP membership may get a biased view of the AI bubble.

Other than that this should have zero relevance to anybody.

Oh noes.

It's more a case of the fox being in charge of the chicken coop; or bank robbers gaining control of the bank.

The job of the press in a democracy is to hold officials up to scrutiny.

Has he(George Santos) done anything to help the Republican Party?


Yes, he has. He has made a bald-faced mockery of the rule of law. That's priceless for supporters of an imperial presidency.

The fact of the matter is that the very existence of unregulated bookies like Kalshi incentivizes actions that may not be reversible, like, I dunno, bombing another country or burning down an orphanage.

If running cgit is too expensive, disable it (or limit it to very shallow views). Developers can clone repositories and run cgit locally. Bots can clone repositories too if their owners think it's so important.

yeah, the Iroquois held most of the land of present day New York State and inhabitable parts of Ontario and Quebec provinces.

It means "Great Lake" in their language - the one their nation surrounded.

However, let's not be trolled by Trump and Google who are both fighting a losing war for foreign interests and want us distracted from $7 diesel.

I just went shopping and the $30 can of shellac primer I usually get is $95 now. Imported ingredients.

Cholesterol is not one molecule.

A lot of your brain is made of types of it.

Complex systems involving certain light ldls and other factors can ultimately result in inflammatory blockages.

The two populations with the highest life expectancy are Hong Kong and Macau.

They also have the highest per capita consumption of meat.

Again, it's a complex system but "eat plants to live long" is disproved.

Never begin a business relationship with a lie.

Sounds like they'll gaslight you at the warranty department too.

Young people buying BMW are probably less than 5% of the client base.

These guys sound worse than Jaguar now.

Seems like a terrible investment.

Yeah, I remember a previous incident where we were concerned about a "brain drain".

hah! You thought I was talking about this.

The logic is economic autarky -- the belief that we're always better off having complete political sovereignty over every part of our supply chains than having to depend on imports for anything.

This is likely also behind Trump's trade war with Canada. His demands with Canada aren't about discirimatory tariffs -- those were negotiated away with NAFTA then re-negotiated in his first term. His demands are now infringe on Canadian sovereignty, to give US control of Canada's external trade policy, and even on its internal markets (e.g., the use of French in Canadian internal commerce). Symbolically, that's why he wants to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America". HIs establishment of US control over the Venezuelan oil industry is his greatest foreign policy achievement -- although it's not clear he understands the legal limits on what he can do with their money.

There's a foreign and military policy angle to this too: Taiwan is absolutely critical to the US economy, so we are absolutely committed to defend them if China invades. Semiconductor autarky would mean it's not our problem.

The problem with autarky is that even if it's a good idea (which economists don't believe), you can't conjure it into existence overnight. It will take many years, possibly decades for the US to replace the Taiwan's semiconductor industry. In effect, the administration is proposing to inflict the very damage on the US economy that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would inflict.

And, once the US has voluntarily self-inflicted that damage, China would be free to invade Taiwan.

My thought as well.

Sure enough,

most of us don't need it.

"OLAP". Now there's a name I've not heard in a long time.

Obviously NYT is just about narrative construction but it would be nice to know some figures like:

* what is that in percentage of researchers?
* and grants
* how many are typical in a year?
* what is the net in each direction for this time period?
* and for a typical year

I happen to know rwo researchers who got a position in Canada and several Canadians who got positions at US schools. That just seems normal from my limited perspective but maybe it's just because I feed them Molson and poutine so they keep coming around.

Remember, numbers given without percentages and percentages given withouts without numbers are always propaganda.
