Vance trying to pull off a 25th would be political suicide. Trump's fan base is absolutely rabid. Anybody trying to exercise the 25th Amendment would be treated as a betrayal of the party and country, and I'm sure some morons wou

This doesn't really refute what Dah00n said. Sure, GDP in the USA is growing faster than the EU, but the question is who is benefiting from the increased GDP ? The answer is in Dah00n's comment. The rich are getting richer, whil

The encryption/decryption portion isn't too slow, it's the ECDHE curve calculation that risks timeouts.

Flock, sure. Axon, nah. They make the body cams many police wear, and police should absolutely be required to wear them.

Framing Flock as just an ALPR always feels disingenuous to me. More charitably, it's at least naive. And even if it WAS and will only ever be an ALPR, I'm incredulous that people would accept it.

Destruction of property, even private or personal property, is still a crime punishable by the government with fines or jail/prison time. The civil claim by Flock only exists for them to recoup their losses.

No candidate is going to perfectly match your desires. So voting becomes a measurement of where your priorities lie. Of course, media and the candidates themselves will use propaganda to manipulate your priorities. Right-wing media has don

The term "AI slop" has lost all meaning. It was originally coined to mean low-quality material that was obviously generated by AI, like pictures of humans with distorted features and the wrong number of fingers. But a whole bunch

I say this as a self-labeled leftist, but the left absolutely sucks at coming up with slogans. "Defund the Police" is a motte-and-bailey. It's misinterpreted because the slogan itself is designed to mislead. Once challeng

Nah, Subway has absolutely cranked their prices. When I worked there in 2012, a footlong Roast Beef was $7.50. Now, just the six inch is $7.99, and the footlong is $14. Not quite a doubling, but still pretty nuts. That's about 4.6%

Maybe stop shopping at Whole Foods, Market of Choice, New Seasons, etc. At my local grocery store (Fred Meyer, a chain owned by Kroger), ground beef is as little as $5.33/lb. It only gets to $10/lb if you insist on buying the 93%
