I thought patents had to be published for anyone to read? Isn't that the tradeoff of our freedoms, in exchange for a "limited" time monopoly on the idea, you have to publish the idea.

> Because it's very hard to stop accidental or incidental information leaks.

It's really hard if it is in your interest not to stop accidental information leaks, because it is easier to bulk classify everything and blame this difficulty. There is no incentive to stop accidental leaks if you can always hide everything.

Wait to you hear people claiming that Russia is invading Ukraine! Why would Russia murder women and children? Definitely psychosis!

> most likely their Rapid Security Responses / Background Security Improvements framework does not already support this file

Why would it support this file? Are CA trust stores really that important? /s

> and no other vendor has been nearly as thorough about this

1. That's totally not true. Apple has messed up something that is trivial to fix. 2. The EU's CRA is going to crush them if they don't get their shit together.

> Court records show the feds used an administrative summons request reserved for violations of customs and taxation requirements, which does not fit the activity that made up the criminal charges filed by the Minnesota US attorney against former CNN anchor Don Lemon and others.

When they are arresting news anchors for reporting on ICE's activities, it should be obvious that Trump and his administration is fascist-curious.

Are the expat parts in Cryptonomicon inspired by him (small sovereign island nation in south east asia)? He was involved with cyberspace and Neil should have known about him from Snowcrash.

> This is the first administration in a long time with the cohones to do something about it.

Containment worked WAY WAY better than "doing something about it" and surrendering the strait to them. They "solved it" by aerosolizing asbestos everywhere and still have no cleanup plan. Sometimes containment works much better, which is why intelligent foreign policy worked the problem from that angle.

Wasn't victory declared 1 year ago and also a number of months ago?

Do you know something about this that no one else knows? How many innocent people do you think are mentioned in those millions of documents?

> or simply look at outcomes. Good work being done at the FDA, just fact.

A good outcome doesn't mean there was good work being done. You are conflating the two. You can make bad decisions and still have a good outcome.

I'm happy that this looks like a good outcome, but the current FDA is doing terrible work.

> co2 will cook the planet

It doesn't have to cook the planet to cause massive suffering. Do you think there hasn't been global warming? What amount of global warming would change your mind?

Are you sure it is just clay? Sandy clay packs even tighter than just clay: https://www.uaex.uada.edu/farm-ranch/crops-commercial-hortic...

"If you mix sand into clay, the clay particles will fill in all the open spaces between the sand particles and often the clay will act as a ‘glue’ sticking all particles together, ultimately resulting in a more dense soil."

> they should have oversight

Congress provides oversight and accountability of the Fed. The GAO does audits as well. Frank-Dodd provides more windows into the Fed. Why did you think the Fed doesn't have oversight?

> Not ever passing an audit of any kind

It might have been hard for you to find because it is hidden under the "audit" page on their website: https://www.federalreserve.gov/regreform/audit.htm

> Why is the independence of the Federal Reserve sacrosanct?

It's never been completely independent. It's independent from short-term (4 years) political influence. It's audited and has congressional oversight and the President nominates people to the board.

What else do you want? Interest rates set by Presidential tweets?

One can not be happy with that and understand that Trump would have found ways to lock up his son for 20 years. No one thinks this dude was going to be punished for political reasons.

Is the schema considered private information or just information not required to be released via FOIA? ie: Can't some nice employee leak this information or is it legally protected?

Once the information is released, can anyone can make FOIA requests using the schema?
