Finding someone not guilty by reason of insanity doesn't mean they walk free: it means that they end up in a secure psychiatric facility for years to decades.

I never did.

Germans, Swiss, and Austrians have it right - clinging to cash like a Pashtu tribesman clings to his weaponry.

Why not an HDMI cord from server to TV?

Let me connect an external hard drive full of music and movie files - that's all the smart I need. Otherwise, HDMI input and ATSC.

This is why more people should start paying for as much as possible with cash. Re-normalize it. If they ask why - many stores and restaurants here in NYC charge you 4% or so extra for the privilege of using a card (due to processing fees). Think of it as getting 4% cash back on many purchases.

The problem is venue shopping - they could find a judge that's either a fascist at heart, subject to kompromat, or on the take in some manner.

Or you made an informed choice to value human freedom over mere years of life. Quality vs quantity.

I think Trump thinks about the children far too often, unfortunately.

a doozie to debug

I believe that would be the Increasing Transparency in Generic Drug Applications Act, and the Affordable Prescriptions for Patients Act, both bipartisan, and both passed this year.

Maybe this info needs to be stored in some kind of encrypted escrow format. The database, instead of having an address, would have a blob that decrypts to the address in the shipper's system. And maybe not the full address, but only just enough information for routing - when the shipper picks it up, if its local they get the full address, if its across the country they just get enough to get the nearest distribution center, which has a key to decrypt the recipient's distribution center, and so on. at each stage only enough information so that it doesn't prevent routing optimization.

I agree. I've been a T-Mobile customer since they were called VoiceStream. Up until [what feels like] five years ago, I LOVED them. Like, I almost felt an allegiance toward them, because they were one of the few cool companies that actually seemed to care about customer experience.

But, new leadership --> new direction, no more US call centers, the "forever plan" was bullshit... Now, I fucking hate them.

Although, I do have to admit, while I was spending time in the High Uintah mountains this past week, it was awesome getting 15 Mbps from my free Starlink access. But, that's more thanks to Starlink than T-Mobile -- at least, as far as I'm willing to attribute.

What the hell is that? Is that a salesman in PC-speak?

His podcast Better Offline is squarely targeted at people who are very much online. Indeed his entire gig is the epitome of online living.

If Ed Zitron really felt better offline, he wouldn't be making a living off of a podcast and constant AI bashing.

Not that I necessarily disagree with him though... It's just that the messenger doesn't really befit the message.

If even he thinks AI is dubious, you know AI is bad news.
