You're telling me the DA would press charges without the actual harmed party wanting to press charges? I suppose it's possible but kinda hard without an actual plaintiff.

They already have a multi 100 billion dollar slush fund from Congress. If they’re doing it for the money then things have really gotten out of hand with internal DHS budgets.

The author goes through this in great detail with some humility in the FAQ. It’s rich, yes. And the author acknowledges that. Still a cool build!

Do you think their new owners will want to engage in an extended legal battle with a large customer?

My assumption was that engineers were building an AI system to do this, not that they only made PRs from tickets - but I could be wrong.

My assumption was that a settlement would be part of the “cost of doing business in the USA” so they’d pay up to keep importing their products legally rather than lose the market - but you know what they say about assumptions…

We use a SaaS provider for our HOA and it works well, but there is a monthly / annual cost for that. That said, people still insist on posting to Facebook but the group can easily turn to poison and sniping which is super awesome for b

Yeah sometimes the ubiquity of access and familiarity for HOAs and smaller community orgs make that gravity too strong. Mostly I was thinking about tech folks and AI news that seems to go out on Twitter most of the time.

Correct. The people that don’t like the EPA appointed their friends who also don’t like the EPA to run the EPA. This is the playbook generally - PE vulturism, but for government agencies. And to their credit it kinda works. Just… not for ci

Do the octogenarians in power not remember when they couldn’t breathe because of the lead in the gas in the 60s and the lack of emissions controls on everything? Do they yearn for the mines and coal dust of early industrial England? Everybo

This is good, generally, for government overstepping especially in the case of targeted domestic restrictions (and what amounts to anti-competitive blackmail in my opinion) BUT! The judge’s opinion that “The empty invocation of national se

Sure you can. Gun makers do it all the time!

You’ve found the smoking foot gun! And that’s exactly the right question.

Why not foster a dog instead? I have enough things to take care of in my life through training and reinforcement learning, but if you don’t - this might be for you! :)

It’s all fine until the entire community you’re trying to participate in decides Twitter is the place to post things. ahem Would be great if we maybe chose someplace else to do this as a community… but I guess the eyeballs are there and t

There’s just no preparing for that kind of power being unleashed. Holy hell. :/

I would imagine any settlement dollars would be enough of a carrot to get a lawyer involved. Has anyone actually sued over this yet?

“Temporary emergency” should always be considered skeptically - especially when it comes to government. They almost always stay permanent.

Yes. Predictability is extremely important for markets and planning and general welfare. He doesn’t have to randomly declare things on a Thursday that haven’t changed for decades and create anxiety among (you name it community or industry)

Great place to put a star base for all the reasons listed, but, uh… does anyone buy for a second that Elon Musk gives a fig about the Louisiana coastline or the migratory birds?

I dunno is creating chaos that requires many expensive rewrites damaging to the industry? I kid of course - their recommendations on management of technical teams are fly-in, fly-out out of context garbage in my experience. Usually results

You will be able to easily rewrite with better technical decisions with the assistance of LLMs in that case. Also the Y2K folks made bank IIRC.

Looks like a great setup! $20K still seems like a lot to get some mosquito bites walking through the yard to work. Lack of plumbing, coffee, etc (some of those are fixable of course) is a bit of a turnoff but perhaps the walk is part of th

Yes and no. The Iran war is deeply unpopular and won’t even pass congressional approval for money. It’s being fought from pocket change budgets because they know they can’t pass a funding bill for it. Also not the same kind of war. Any peri

Thank you! That's very kind. It's definitely not an easy equation to solve and is a constant moving target :)

Screaming hot take: sometimes folks use giving up on their dreams or ambitions as an excuse. (_sometimes_) But also it's just a different deal for mothers than fathers. Physically, mentally, it's just not comparable.

Do you mean in the case of divorce? Or in the case that a husband decides to not be a collaborating partner in raising a child? Obviously to be totally secure you need to make sure you have some money, but ideally it's a collaboration
