49 years old, gay, survived a shot in the back with a Glock 9mm. Still a 2nd Amendment supporter. Fun fact: US Federal government is suzerain, not sovereign.

Infotech Twitter: How many exceptions does your software process per minute? How many of those are handled in the stack frame of the immediate invoker of the exception-generating method, or the immediate invoker of the exception-generating library?

It never ceases to amaze me how many reductionists try to get into government to "simplify" what has built up because of validated, verified epistomological processes. You can't legislate away scientifically-validated nuance without removing equal protection of the law.

If you recognize what's happening here, you're part of a generation that also spent endless hours fine-tuning autoexec.bat and config.sys files.
And if you're not sure what's going on in the video, I honestly envy your youth.
You know what? Fuck IEEE. They're still profiting from computer science publications in their journals from 1976 and prior.

And the dumbing-down of America continues.
"On too many stories, the press has missed the story. Because we've taken into account the perspective of advocates and not the average American. Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites, and not enough on you."
That changes now. The new CBS Evening News starts Monday at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS.

You might want to go through all of your financial accounts and figure out what the cognitive load to reset all your passwords all at once would be. It might be overwhelming for even people with sufficient day to day capacity to try to manage.

These *aren't* legal. At least, the advertisement isn't.
These are LTE cellular PTT, with a $20 per year, per device, subscription renewal fee. They are required to comply with CALEA. They are reliant on cellular data, which makes "works even when cell towers go down" false.
"Wait... these can't be legal"
Coast-to-coast communication
Zero monthly fees
No government license needed
AES-256 encrypted
No data backup & tracking
They're legal. Just better than everything else.

I audited my fingerprint reader's ability to read my fingerprints through a new screen protector. It couldn't read 3 of the 4, so I deleted/readded them.
"You have added a new fingerprint. Please reenter your password." You mean the one I haven't used in 3 years?

Oh, how nice. Cash.app records calls, but refuses to permit information symmetry by consenting to their customers recording the same calls. Because they transition the call from an expectation of privacy, they no longer have the right to withhold that consent.

Will anyone who thinks that it's inappropriate to "reward Hamas" please think about whether it's appropriate to continue to "fail to defend non-Hamas Palestinians"? Just because a "bad group" claims something as a victory doesn't mean it actually is for them.

It's clear that Bibi must also be removed from power in Israel, and his party blocked from power in exactly the same way that Hamas must be in Palestine. Bibi must also be punished for his crimes against humanity, the way Hamas leaders need to be punished for their murders.

This might have been correct without >1000 station broadaster conglomerates. These decisions aren't by "local stations". These are decisions made by suck-up CEOs who want FCC chairman Brendan Carr's approval to merge in billion-dollar deals. [img source: nbcnews.com/business/busines…]

The real reason Peter Kyle wants VPNs gone has nothing to do with protecting children - and everything to do with protecting control.
VPNs break the system they've just built. They let citizens bypass censorship, access blocked content, and speak freely without state surveillance breathing down their necks. That terrifies them. Because without VPNs, you're visible. Trackable. Contained. With VPNs, you're outside the cage - and Kyle knows it.
This isn't about saving children. It's about watching citizens. It's about closing the final escape hatch in a surveillance regime dressed up as "safety." He wants your data, your habits, your clicks - not to protect your family, but to build a system that decides what truth you're allowed to see.
They've built the firewall. Now they want to seal the exits.

Trump continues to run the country like a communist dictator.
First of all, he doesn't have the authority to command this. Instead, he's (implicitly) threatening to use his other authorities to punish Apple, like how he's destroying Harvard.
Second, we don't live in a socialist paradise. We spent decades in a cold war against the Soviet Union because we don't want to live in a socialist paradise where the government runs the country and forces its people into shitty manufacturing jobs that could better be automated.
