That was a huge difficult process for Canada to get them back. The US isn't going to waste that sort of diplomatic currency just to arrest a medium tier white collar criminal. They will wait it out to see if he ever tries to leave and nab him.

Alexa+ is pretty terrible. It's surprising how no one has beat them in the home device market. Alexa stagnated and died a product death while still being the standard market option for 5+ years. I was hoping LLMs would improve it but I haven't seen any evidence, even after purchasing their new line.

I might try Google's home option again but I'm not a fan of giving Google second chances since they seem to care even less about committing to products.

> aimed at Starlink users and that it was the No. 1 bidder on Starlink traffic in more than 100 countries, including several where Starlink itself was banned or restricted.

Some counter espionage program? Maybe spies use Starlink instead of radios these days.

that would be an interesting business to run.

That's a good way to describe it

I don't take headlines that seriously. I only care if they wrote something interesting.

Drive-by HN commenters always obsess about accuracy of headlines, I prefer reading the actual articles and judging it on that. I read the whole thing and it discussed some difficult open source work they are doing on Ruby in a way that kept my attention, shrug.

Your loss, it's a well written article.

The expansion of unitary executive power has been the worst development in the US IMO and it opens the door to corruption. Biden overextended his power a number of times, Trump now does it far more than his first term and started doing it as a matter of policy. If you follow SC rulings it's obvious both ends of the SC support that expansion in different ways, often on partisan grounds rather than a consistent concept of separation of powers. Which is the worst part.

Best way to avoid this is having a competent congress, one that actually responds to public concerns so it's not forced upon the president. Which is always the root cause of all of this bad policy from the WH getting shut down by courts or risky incomplete policy being ignored by the courts for the greater good (like abortion rights never becoming a hard law through congress).

It only goes a half mile out at max range, it's not that far. So basically whatever is immediately in front of the truck.

Congress is the one who is supposed fix things by making long term policy instead of everyone relying on brash executive orders or the supreme court cleaning up messes. So it really is their responsibility most of all.

If history is any example we already know congress won't do much unless it involves spending money. We saw that with the republicans expanding ICE funding instead of making careful country wide immigration reforms in collaboration with state governments who are needed for proper enforcement. Most likely if/when the democrats win we'll see them fund a new flashy anti-corruption agency, which gets added on top of the other 400+ federal agencies who already have multiple overlapping responsibilities.

Bureaucracy is rarely ever fixed in those old institutions, even with changing leadership. The only common examples you see are usually a result of technical innovations that they fight against and later adopt 10+ years late, not from organizational reform.
