"harm" is kind of the key word here - an executive agency (USDS) is trying to access other executive agency data perform work the executive branch has prioritized. Take the personalities out of the question for a minute. Gov says

I suppose we all see what we want to see and have reasons to explain away any dissonance. $1m to an inauguration committee for an already elected president might counterbalance the disproportionate donations to democrats during campaign sea

I like the idea of this as a Framework-style vehicle. If they really leaned into the mod community and were making deliberate decisions to support this, it could offer a lot of traction. Shame there's no AWD version of this. That, the

I think the fork needs to preserve the LICENSE file in the repo and in distributed code (e.g. packages), right? But not replicated as a file header in every blessed file in the repo.

Perhaps having the 6mo contract in hand increased your confidence and changed the way you were carrying yourself and interviewing (subtly to you, but meaningfully).

Take a look at Doggerland. It's been known for over 100 years with no lack of interest, but as you say, underwater archaeology is expensive and technically difficult.

What does that mean? USD value decreased that much and bitcoin proved itself as an asset with tangible value (like gold?), or did value of bitcoin itself rise? I’m not a currency guy, so I don’t pretend to know crap, it’s a real question, n

At same time, this has real effects, so I wouldn't be so dismissive of it. I actually know a parent of a friend who had the whole "deep brain, computer in chest, app to adjust it" set up installed somewhat recently (not sure

Counterpoint: shadowy powers of lobbying publish the polls to manufacture consent and put pressure on politicians. Alternate tools include: * elections, e.g. flipping control of house to party opposite the president. Numerous examples of ba

I think they were dismissed with prejudice, which if true, is a “no”. That said, all prior charges and attempts were federal charges, and nothing in a pardon or federal dismissal prevents an individual state from bringing charges, IIRC. Wou

You know polls are a rotten way to make policy. Easily manipulated. In fact, Hitches said in "Letters..." that any time you see a poll just realize it's someone trying to change your mind with the bandwagon fallacy - isolatin

This is a really awesome development. Several news stories tie this feature to Phillips Hue lights, or Zigbee lighting generally. I think this is only because that's what has a lot of market penetration. As far as I can tell, ambient s

If you run Home Assistant already, there are some good Sonos solutions in there. The actual Sonos integration still works (IIRC) with most of my speakers, in that I can use them as targets in automations involving audio (sees them on networ
