Why do we allow K-9s to count as probable cause when they can be roughly as accurate as a coin flip? Eg. U.S. v. Bentley, where the particular dog in question had a documented 40.5% false positive rate in the field.

Or just hike the capital gains tax. Those billions of dollars have to be put somewhere, and the ultra-rich aren't going to hide it under the mattress. Inheritance tax is fairly easy to avoid with sophisticated tax planning.

It's remarkable that they still exist as a functioning company. I would have thought that the lawsuits over the hack, the alleged fake accounts, and the general loss of customer trust would have been enough to push them into insolvency

So they hired a scumbag to harass their critics in potentially illegal ways, fired the scumbag, and then were surprised that he turned on them? What a perfect example of what goes around, comes around.

It really isn't that odd. Most reddit users hardly interact with the admins. When it comes to mods though, the question is not whether they have had bad interactions, but how many. A job that offers no pay, no benefits, but the dopamin

That seems doubtful. The knives are already out, with moderators lower down the list requesting to become the new top mod, so they can reopen popular subreddits. Eg. https://www.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/comments&

They are allegedly already starting. For example, r/AdviceAnimals is now back and they have deleted the blackout post. Plus the old lead moderator is gone. My understanding is that removing a lead moderator requires reddit admin action

It seems like a massive regulatory failure to let Coinbase IPO if there are the sort of glaring issues they claim. Coinbase has a market cap of around $10 billion, and is owned by retail investors as part of standard index funds. If it goes

Why would an actor with a reliable zero-click need to persist past a reboot? That appears to be the claim in the article, update blocking plus on-demand reinfection.

The government takes in close to $5 trillion a year [0], debt servicing is $496.5 billion [1]. So it's easily able to be covered by existing revenues. With respect to prioritization, I'm sure Treasury officials don't want to

The US can cover debt servicing costs indefinitely without raising the debt ceiling. It would cause a lot of other cuts to essential services though, so obviously that is not a desirable outcome either. But it is incorrect to frame this as
