If the money is going to Neo-liberals like Hakeem Jeffries, Elizabeth Warren, or Nancy Pelosi, then it's going to be wasted. They're simply trying to bring the United States back from Fascism to its former state of Oligarchy.
I guess I'm confused, how is reversing-away from fascism bad?
Did any of them have the cognition to recognize that if an adversarial nation was bolstering what they were espousing through a cut-out that meant no direct instructions, that perhaps what they were blathering is bad for our nation and good for that adversary?
Hell, I want to see what it does with James Joyce.
Hopefully there's a molten pit of silicon where that datacenter used to sit.
So this is just a buffer overflow attack combined with garbage-in?
Who's to say we're OK with it?
Unfortunately based on both written law and interpretation by the court setting precedent, it is the way it is. At some point you're a fool to not use the tools available to you when they're demonstrated to be effective.
I would love for Citizens United to go away, and I'd love for lobbying to be determined to be bribery where campaign contributions are involved, but that's not the way it is right now, and the political right has been using this tactic since the Dubya's administration. At this point the Democrats may as well use it too.
Because if this group is a foreign government its literally illegal.
I remember that same busted-ass talking point during the 2000 presidential campaign, levied without evidence against Gore.
If you don't like it, why don't you push for Citizens United to be overturned through legislation. Otherwise shut up or get some new material.
Sounds like she's on her way to Owensville, if you catch my drift.
This has been a tactic on the opposite side of the aisle for decades. At this point why should we care in the slightest?
If the taint team's job is to take everything gathered and to only provide to the court the evidence that is germane to the trial (remember, the defense is supposed to receive all of the evidence that is chosen for admission too) without editorialization, then how would the members of the taint-team testifying be beneficial to the defense? Wouldn't opening up questioning of people in that now allow for the members of that taint-team to offer opinions or other observations that would further harm the position of the defense?
Theoretically this could result in the practice known as a "Taint Team" or "Filter Team" to avoid the "taint". This party would not be free to testify but would have the job of performing the search that the warrant asked for. They would theoretically not be allowed to disclose anything they see.
I say theoretically because, well, we can see how this could be abused. And it seems like it would be a pretty awful job to find crimes on someone's device, particularly if those crimes are gruesome or sexual in nature, and not be able to do a damn thing about it.
And I'm sure that the entire idea of the "taint" and the "taint team" will be subject to all kinds of ribald humor, or at least attempts thereof.

Why did they break the pattern and go with Apple Watch?
GREAT SCOTT!
Only speaking for myself but I find being isolated all day at home, not going out but ordering door dash, ordering on Amazon, etc doesn’t seem healthy. I go into the office almost five days a week and not judging anyone else. I personally need work / life boundaries. I do find when people are in the office I can have some of the quick in-person meetings (when those people are in). Again, I am not value judging anyone else. I know there are a range of workplaces good and bad but I feel like some of that is on us for what we try to create, cultivate, etc.
In general I do worry that we lose part of what gives us some basic connections.
I think this is tangentially related: The movie Bowling alone is a great film about some of the connectedness we could have.

Isn't the whole point of telecommuting that you can enjoy the benefits of being at home, including not having to eat food prepared by someone else at exorbitant prices?
Unlike most of the people that have replied in this general discussion topic, I actually do have a hybrid schedule. It's been my experience with one telecommute-day per week that I usually just prepare lunch at home myself. Sometimes I'll go to lunch with my wife if we're feeling like it.
I've found having ad-hoc meetings is no worse remote than in-person, hitting someone up on the messaging application to ask if they have a minute works fine whether I'm in the office or at home. Just because someone is in the office doesn't mean that they're strictly available as they might well be away from their desk for any of a multitude of reasons.
When I have had the authority to set my telecommute day, I usually choose it for days when I have a ton of remote meetings. It doesn't matter where I am physically sitting when I'm conferencing with people all over the planet for six hours.
Telework/hybrid-work abuse exists because employers are too conflict-averse on a personal level to address it with those employees actually causing the abuse. If someone can't be contacted, or isn't logging-in, or is demonstrably not working on their telecommute day then that should be addressed as a disciplinary issue. Instead upper management doesn't hold their middle-management accountable and chooses to punish everyone instead of just the offenders.
...Microsoft was previously providing vulnerability information and proof-of-concept exploits for those vulnerabilities in systems and software used by American and allied defense contractors' corporate networks and to utility OT networks to a foreign government before patches were widely deployed among those American and allied countries' networks.
Well, some of that is for classes for people who can't see that default 3-pixel wide scrollbar on Windows 11 in high contrast dark mode.
Yeah, you're blessed to have one of each. Until they start conspiring against you, which you KNOW is going to happen.
