These billionaire dipshits think the corpo-fascism surveillance state was the GOOD PART.

It's hard to find something that isn't a SUV or bus-like minivan if you want a family vehicle that can take more than 2 kids who need boosters or car seats. Fix the CAFE standards so that station wagons are legal and profitable again please!

Yeah, they all need to go to the Hague, but that will never happen...

Good luck putting your life back together if you spend any amount of time in jail waiting for trial after you've lost your job and your housing. Hope you can afford to get your arrest expunged while you are living on the street with no job.

This is a good thing. The more expensive it is, the less spurious bullshit like the stuff in this article there will be. Fewer, more qualified cops = good.

Per the the 1951 Refugee Convention and later 1967 amendment which the US is a signatory to refugees have the rights to:

* not be expelled without due process

* not get punished for irregular entry

* gainful employment

* freedom of movement within the country

* access to the justice system

* be issued travel documents

Remain in Mexico and other restrictions on the entry of refugees and asylum seekers is illegal. Trying to get around and curtail these rights is why there are all these murderous campaigns in UK, Italy, and the US to turn around or sink boats in international waters before they gain land and get access to refugee protections. It's also why the US is working with Panama to make the Darién gap crossing more deadly to detain those that survive. If they never make it to the US, or die in the Arizona high desert because they were forced away from safer crossing spots, then they can't claim asylum.

It's a disgusting practice that is by no means unique to Trump or the US, although he's making things significantly worse.

It's not just white paint. Being highly reflective is only 1/2 the equation. There are certain materials with extremely high IR emmissivity which will actively cool the structure they are applied to. Not only that, but it must be a frequency of IR that the atmosphere is transparent to. Whether such coatings are ready for widespread use is up in the air.

This guy has several videos about trying to homebrew such a coating Making Infrared Cooling Paint From Grocery Store Items (w/Novel CaCO Microsphere Synthesis)

I use their Omada line of SOHO APs, controller, and managed switches. I find that they are quite solid and patches come out pretty regularly. I'd never trust their router though. Everything lives behind an OPNSense router/firewall running on a mini-pc.

You can't always disband a family group successfully. I know, because I've tried. I switched from Apple to Android, so I wanted to make my wife the admin. There is no way for me to elevate her, so we had to create a new family with her as the admin. Except I can't simply disband my family because my son is under 13. Once a minor's account is associated with a family, they must remain in some family until they age out. Until I have 0 minors in my family group, I can't disband it.

So the proscribed solution is for her to invite the kids to her new family group, which is supposed to send a message to me, which I then approve. Except I no longer have an apple device. It won't let you do this through a website, supposedly the notification shows up in the "family" tab of the settings app for some ungodly reason. I tried signing onto my AppleID through my work laptop, but the notification doesn't show up there. Thinking maybe it has to do with corporate endpoint security crap, I tried reviving my old iphone 6 but I get no notification there either, maybe because it is no longer active on my carrier?

Anyways, I've found no solution. Apple's software is just shit

A human running over a kid due to negligence and going to jail for manslaughter vs a company paying a $1M dollar fine is not the same. Companies get to defray legal responsibilities in ways that people can't and generally have far greater financial resources. Therefore they can afford to be far more negligent as long as they can still make a profit.

It's not like we lost something here. Before AWS and other cloud providers came along, it was simply impossible to stand up a global video conferencing network without a massive capex and ongoing maintenance costs if you weren't already a telco or backbone internet provider.

If all Signal wanted to do was exchange text coms with occasional images, they could still rent a handful of colo racks and be in pretty good shape.

Complaining about limited options to source a global multimedia streaming network solution is like complaining about limited options for contractors to put a satellite in orbit. Well yeah, it's a niche expensive service with huge startup costs. The fact that you can buy such a service at all is pretty amazing.

Everything that comes out of the president's mouth is not law. He is not a king. If he doesn't have the statutory nor constitutional authority to legally name it, then "Gulf of America" is not a legal name, and encyclopedias should continue to use the consensus name it has gone by for the last couple hundred years with maybe a foot note RE the Trump idiocy.

Most of the urban noise comes from cars! I had a nice place in a dead end street in a major East coast city and it was very quiet at night. If we had more residential streets closed to through traffic or so-called "superblocks" it would be very peaceful in our cities most of the time.

If it were just about historical notability, then little towns would have a streets named after Lenin, Mao, Genghis Kahn, Hitler, Tang Taizong, Galileo, Gandhi, Sitting Bull, etc. with the same frequency that they have "Washington St."

It's about honoring historical figures that our culture reveres. Maybe every once in a while we should be re-evaluating who is worthy of such reverence.

All they have to do is have some copy up front that says "As low as 19.99!*"

And then have some fine print at the bottom: "* Final price may vary depending on local tariffs" or whatever legalize the lawyers come up with. The ISP version of "prices and participation may vary".
