The profits Samsung and Micron are reporting are obscene. I can't believe the chip fabricators are spending much money on increasing capacity for what they surely see as a temporary increase in demand. They're just waiting for the AI bubble to burst along with everybody else.

No, I've never seen that and no, I'm not referencing that. Sorry.

Nope. Right company. Law enforcement always responds to abuses like this with specious counterbalancing arguments.

...Flock cameras are helping us find lost dogs!

Flock is much worse. They don't even have a warrant in most cases.

Prediction markets introduce a whole new way to benefit from crime.

I suppose if one were to ignore 250 years of constitutional law, your opinion might make some sense.

That's the whole point of the bill of rights. It makes those hard decisions so an individual doesn't need to. This is a clear violation of the constitution. It will take time to work through the courts though.

Usage of Flock cameras is almost certainly a violation of the 4th amendment.

But the violation of the constitution is just the beginning of the problems with Flock. The abuse of the data by cops and the lax security by Flock should be concerning to all citizens.

...the AI bubble just keeps getting bigger.

I would hope they don't have their bank account information on their website. That said, if they give it out to everybody who pays them via wire transfer, that sensitive information is now widely available. That's another problem with the ACH system.

If I was going to transfer over half a million dollars, the sensible thing to do would be to first transfer and verify a small sum to make sure the account numbers are correct.

Aside from typo-squatting, even under the best of circumstances, wire/ACH transfers seem extremely error prone. They rely on somebody transcribing a long series of numbers and lack any kind of robust authentication. There should be a more reliable way to transfer these large sums, but with the current system one should always verify by first transferring a small sum.

My guess is DJT is just making them wait until the check clears.

And it's sullied irrevocably. For the sake of argument, let's say the GOP loses control of the house and the presidency in the next couple of years. What difference would that make? If you're Canada, would you trust the US ever again? The US will always be just a couple of years away from potentially electing another Trump-like president.

That's one way to read the situation. Another is: he's laying the groundwork to justify taking action to intimidate and suppress voters.
