The idea is that "dark money" networks don't necessarily identify who is putting up the money. If any part of the org deliberately obscures who put up the money or who gets the money, then there is a potential problem. Reread the summary at the very least, maybe it'll make more sense in that light.

Apparently Sixteen Thirty is less interested in shielding the identities of its donors and more interested in hiding who actually gets the money. Did you suspect that George Soros is involved with this group? If you did, congrats, he is.

What if it's partially a front for hostile foreign actors? Not saying it is (it probably isn't, at least not yet, and hopefully never will be), but that is apparently what is oficially under investigation. Or to put it differently, imagine if RT started buying up small and midmarket TV and radio stations and started using them to push Russian state propaganda. Would you expect Congress to investigate that?

Getting off Office is a step in the right direction.

It appears to me from the supporting sources mentioned in the Committee's letter that they are interested in organized groups that are violating Wikipedia's rules to inject propaganda.

Here's a link that contains some significant detail of what has happened and has some recommendations to restore neutrality.

I suspect that this is what is driving the Congressional Committee. What may be happening is the committee is not taking the article linked below as gospel and are gathering their own facts from the source (Wikipedia). I don't know that for sure, but I have to wonder what Congress plans to do about it.

It appears that a small group of possibly paid professionals, communicates closely among themselves, maintains a near constant presence, and has made over a million edits on articles regarding the Middle East. Several have been perma-banned, but we all know how non-effective that is.
the article says the Wikipedia arbitrators (arbcom) are unstaffed and overwhelmed.

There are also less active groups pushing anti-American narratives from Russia and China, some that edit out mentions of LQBTQ existence and so on.

Maybe instead of investigating stablecoin yield offers, we should be looking into why bank deposit and CD interest has been so low over the last ~5 years?

It's basically a year to a year and a half off people's life expectancies, from the heat alone.

Although this is not trivial, the antivaxxer movement will likely chop 10-15 years off life expectancies and greatly reduce quality of life for much of the remainder, same again for the expected massive reduction in air quality that will result from modern political movements, and the absurd puritanical movement in the US will likely chop another 10-15 years off the life expectancies of women.

These are, therefore, substantially more significant, although politically impossible to deal with right now.

I fully expect that, if current trends prevail, by 2040, life expectancies will resemble those of the Neolithic and Bronze Ages.

Attending work for 2 days means I pay £190 per week to work, with no recompense from the company. Because there's a decent amount of holiday time, my wages have only dropped £9000 per year from last year. If I needed to attend 5 days a week, I would have to leave the only job that I have ever held that actually made any functional effort to handle my disabilities. In other words, if I lost this job, I would not be capable of functionally working in any job at all, simply because most companes don't give a damn about disabilities. Legally, however, I would be deemed "capable of work". As such, I would have no wages and no benefits. Once my money ran out, I'd be on the streets. There is simply no viable alternative.

If a business guy thinks adding to the homeless is the best way to improve work morale, then maybe he's not a business guy that holds any opinion of value. He may well be listened to, which will cause a LOT of problems for a LOT of people and WILL increase unemployent and, in countries with failing industry, increase the homelessness of people who are far more competent than him, but that does not make his opinion valuable, merely incredibly stupid and sickeningly naive.

True that. With these tokens you don't even own a tulip when the rug is pulled.

  If we want to compare tokenized securities to the 2007 crash, these tokenized securities sound much more like the over $100 Trillion naked swaps market.

Dr Frank-N-Furter: I ask for nothing.

But the people using or maintaining the database don't have to prove anything first? You don't have to be an "incel" to be upset about that. There's also a similar app that tracks abusive women and it could be just as bad.

Men who demonstrate violent behavior have likely violated several laws and should be brought up on charges. That creates a legal record of poor behavior. No man should be tracked by an app or any other mechanism to encourage vigilantism unless there is a papertrail of legal proof that the man in question is indeed violent. Anything else risks libel.

What does that have to do with Tea, though? Are you prepared to defend it on its merits, especially considering how badly it went for women using it?

The summary had a comment from the Cisco advisory, "This was a vulnerability that was patched way back in 2018." I doubt that is true.

A correct statement would be "This was a vulnerability for which a patch was released way back in 2018."
Speaking as a retired sysadmin, I can assure you those two sentences are not the same at all.

Not really true. Don't be fooled by marketing.

Intel 7 is a rebrand of 10 Enhanced SuperFin (10ESF). That is a node that is a refinement of their tragically-failed 10nm node. 10nm nodes included 10nm, 10nm+, 10SF, and 10ESF. Intel renamed 10ESF to Intel 7 without changing anything in hopes that no one would notice.

They also renamed their 7nm node to Intel 4. Intel 3 is a refinement of 4.

It's just a name. It doesn't necessarily mean that 14a has any transistor dimensions measuring exactly 14 angstroms. Most node names have been marketing for awhile.

Also your 3960X is on N7 which was definitely not a 7nm node, despite the name.

You'll have to do some digging to find actual transistor density figures for N7 and more-recent nodes to get an idea of how dense they're getting relative to N7.

Yeah we all miss Mitt Romney so much.
