I think you should read the paper.

Maybe take a statistics class instead of asking questions. Your comments will be smarter.

Who gets to decide what's worthless?

Statistics do....

We track what jobs earn what...how many people get accepted in to what jobs on graduation....so, we only offer student loans to degrees that give the student the absolute highest chance of getting a good paying job, one what will allow them to pay off the loans in a reasonable manner.

If you want to be the CEO of a large company, you have to win the political games.

If you want to win at office politics, you need to make sure nobody is saying anything bad about you. It's an essential skill.

Your comment looks like it was written by chatGPT. It doesn't look like your real experience at all.

So what happened? There are no details of the "attack," no explanation of mitigation, no claim that anything compromised.

For all we know they installed some new detection software and realized that their computers were being targeted by nefarious ping packets

This may be related, but I saw an interview with Jon Lord, now passed-on keyboardist for Deep Purple. He was classically trained which enforces a certain regimented form of playing. When he saw Jerry Lee Lewis, it made a big impression on him. It was clear to him that Jerry Lee had no classical training but he initially could not play that way. He learned how to play, what I can only describe as, free form. The classical training still "informed" his free form playing but he learned how to do it. He remarked that most classical musicians cannot "get off the page".

I somewhat think that playing real good solos (free form) is what happens when you are able to ignore the neocortex and its authoritarian functions. My Ma once told me that rock musicians just played whatever they liked, not what was on the score. When soloing, she was correct, but that is what you need to solo well. Training is still there, but now it is in the background and not controlling.

What we really need to ban are humanoid politicians. There's no reason they need to look like humans since they are nothing more than vending machines.

Gee, it is almost like it is silly building giant data centers when companies can run their AI models in-house.

See Nazi Germany and see how well your philosophy worked out for them. Too ancient, try N. Korea.

That's not how he's protecting Americans. He is sucking up all the graft he can to protect his fellow Americans from it.

Don Jr is a paid "strategic advisor" to both Kalshi and Polymarket, and the private investment company he's partner in, 1789 Capital, invested millions into Polymarket. Reportedly the Trump family owns stock in both companies.

The corruption and grift has become so blatant that nobody even bothers reporting on it anymore.

From what I understand of the guy I'm not a fan and likely would like to see him nailed.

However, in this case...I don't think the govt has a case against him.

If they never got into the phone, how do they know there was evidence on there? How could they proved he wiped evidence if they had no clue what might be on there?

It also sounds like at the time, he wasn't under arrest? He had asked for a lawyer and had been refused?

He's not under any compulsion to give a password is he? They had the phone, nothing forced the authorities to trust anything he said....they could have tried forensics like they'd do if they had a safe and tried a safecracker to get in if the suspect didn't want to give the combination.

I just don't see the case they have....or if they do it has implications far wider for common citizens and their privacy.

Can we intuit that the casefile and evidence were handled in proportional typefaces?

I remember some old court documents where everything was done in Courier. Times New Roman seems to be a standard now.

Notice how the "free press" keeps talking about this as a "law enforcement problem" but hasn't once talked about any time somebody was threatened by a mugger to unlock and this safety feature saved their bacon?

#include <obligatory.xkcd>

Most common criminals will run when there is nothing further to be gained.

Big organized crime gangs, such as people at the border threatening travelers under color of law, are the exception rather than the rule. They got embarrassed that their dominance play didn't work, so now they're lashing out and they have thousands of people and billions of dollars at their disposal. "How DARE you not bow before me!?!?"

Convenience of fake cops doesn't override the rights and safety of citizens. Exact same issue as Flock.
