Yeah, and Trump is promising to wrap up the war immediately after the upcoming elections.

I've always been a big fan of space exploration, but for a country that can't afford its lifestyle a moon base doesn't sound very important priority.

(Or maybe I should have said "isn't willing to pay for" its lifestyle.)

Exactly. This is a technology problem, not a user problem. Trying to fix it on user side accomplishes nothing.

User awareness is impossible to create. Yes, for the rather primitive phishing campaigns of 10 or even 5 years ago it was possible to a very limited degree. With the attackers now using LLMs, that time is past. Get actually secure email systems and clients or get hacked. Those are your only choices.

Employees cannot be trained to recognize suspicious emails. I do not know which blithering idiot came up with the idea, but regular people cannot be qualified to do what takes an IT security expert and even that expert will occasionally fail.

Yes. These tests are worse than useless. They insult those with a clue and waste the time of everybody. They make everybody angry and that means less mental power to recognize scams and problems. They are a meaningless ritual that accomplishes less than nothing.

The thing that would need to be done is use of better technology. And that is the only thing that can fix this problem. The user is not the problem.

That is because you give your users technology that sucks and cannot be secured. Terrorizing your users will do nothing. Using better technology will. Yes, that means dumping the steaming pile Microsoft sells on the trash-heap of history where it belongs, and quite a few other offerings as well. Yes, that means telling the C-levels they have to get used to a different desktop. But nothing else will do it.

If your IT security is so abysmally bad that clicking on a link can blow up your set-up, "educating" employees will do nothing. And if that is the best your go-to vendor can deliver, get a different one.

That said, information about complex phishing attacks, like the "chef email" scam and the like, is different. But these target human interaction, not intricate technology that is very much outside of the areas of expertise of almost everybody.

Unclear what you're calling me liar about specifically? Are you saying that I'm lying that inert and weakened versions of these sprays don't exist? Because I can assure you they do. I am also not claiming that no-one goes through training with full versions of these products either. There are certifications that actually require it. But there are also plenty of people who seem to insist that training with inert or weakened products, or even the full versions under controlled conditions (not to mention generally with young and healthy participants) is the same as it happening to the average person.
Going back to the actual subject, even if the actual people getting training in these microwave torture rays have to have it tried on themselves, it's pretty certain they would get low power/short exposure, etc. They certainly wouldn't have it suddenly affect them out of nowhere with no idea what's going on it a confusing setting, in a large crowd that might suddenly start panicking and trampling each other.

A significant portion of the people we're discussing did not enter the US improperly, so that's not really that relevant. Something like half of the so called "illegal immigrants" entered legally.

It was right before the election.
As for this happening all the time in, for example, academia, it still doesn't usually happen with fast food bags full of cash. I know US conservative types love corruption and apologism for corruption, but come on. Some people, when they find out that someone who is supposed to be on their "side" had a closet full of gold bars and cash stuffed into shoes and bags and things don't fish around for every excuse possible actually say to themselves "this guy is corrupt, we should not support him".

Yeah, you know what I always used when doing freelance software development? A contract.

Follow your own advice. I pointed out that the issue is that you never clearly state what you're claiming is wrong out what I said which was largely factual statement and only partially opinion.

Clearly not irrelevant. Even you yourself wrote: "mmigration judges are part of the due process ". Note "part of" which was accurate, but that doesn't magically translate to regular judges somehow not having any say or being actual judges as opposed to "administrative judges". Remember that the context was you claiming that because Tom Homan said that some percentage had a removal order that somehow that meant that legal immigrants weren't being targeted. Since immigration judges are not the only authority, it's relevant that there are real judicial branch judges that can override them.

The point of the sarcastic response was you implying that all of the issues with the system are due to the specific cause of dealing with "fake" asylum claims.

I wasn't talking about that case at all. Although if you're bringing it up, you might need to look into the Tokyo convention and how flag jurisdiction works at international airports (for the excuse that once the plane landed, the US would lose jurisdiction, so it couldn't just land, not disembark the detainees, refuel and return). Also, you're ignoring that the people on the plane were detainees of the federal government, not of a civilian airline.

"Fines forgiven" indeed. Massive, unconscionably large fines that would not ultimately hold up in court intended specifically for purposes of coercion. Good example.

Considering that the country just passed its 250th anniversary and it's been less than a hundred years since that even became a thing, that's an obviously false statement. Not to mention that crossing the border and legally entering the country were actually distinct concepts for most of the time since. It was generally accepted that people could cross the border on the map, then present themselves to "enter" at a "port of entry". This was back when these things were run by people who had a good grasp of physical and geographical reality. These days of course, things are run by people who believe it's physically possible and practical to build a giant concrete wall exactly on the border line along the entire border (not to mention put a crocodile-filled moat on the US side). Honestly, some of these people seem to get their understanding of the physical world from cartoons (you know, where ideas like painting a continent with a giant paint roller work): raking the forests real good, a giant concrete border wall (not just a fence) right on the border line, bombing hurricanes, magically expanding highly regional small scale concepts like iron dome to a massive nation, etc. Traditional practices there were based on real world logistics.

Of course, once again, we're mostly not actually talking about people sneaking across the border into the country. The anti-immigrant faction always try to pretend that's the issue, but the main thing actually being discussed is people who came here legally, one way or another.

My argument did not hinge on things that were formerly not crimes being made into crimes, that was just an aside on my part and you're using it as a red herring here. My point was that there are many situations even now that are not crimes, but rather civil/administrative, but you are still pretending they are crimes.

Once again, a red herring. Many the people we're discussing didn't enter illegally.

Plenty of Americans are anti-immigration. Many of those are even first or second generation immigrants. That's hardly the point.

If FTTP were outrageously expensive small providers all over the world would not be able to deploy it. Operational cost savings pay for themselves within a few years and ultimately if you want to offer competitive service you have no choice in the matter.

Comcast is a perfect example of an incumbent sitting on its ass while a rinky dink ISPs nobody has even heard of does a phased deployment throughout town permanently eroding their customer base.

And is sure enough it's linked with Trump. It's just another way for Trump to funnel money to his buddies who will then funnel some of it back to him.

66% of Americans believe Trump is openly criminal and corrupt but of them at least 10% are still going to vote for him and the Republican party while they're at it also what the hell is wrong with the remaining 44%?

Now that it's been forcibly changed from McCarthy's rotting cock to eating a big bowl of shit now that Zelensky is willing to give up the territory Russia has taken.
