That's what most corporate jobs are . Us just working for the oligarchs.

By the time you are connecting to spoofed WiFi networks you are already in trouble, using this vector seems like a really convoluted attack at that point.

An accusation is typically not sufficient to arrest someone for a suspected crime.

And marine populations will suffer. Changes in currents will affect shipping. Overall a disaster.

Overall the expectations are an increase in intensity and inability to predict. There is no expectation around consistency. That is why climate change is going to be such a disaster, it's not acutely predictable and it's death by a thousand cuts for us. The floods in Nepal etc are a good example. Very hard to predict, extremely distructive.

When does the USA catch up?

This is not a criticism but I am curious about what the trade offs are in terms of cost/bom etc of using usb-c. I found it surprising that that wasn't a given in 2026,curious where it hasn't caught up as an option.

This smells like a cottage industry similar to detecting soon to be expired ssl certs.

"Oh that thing that was an experiment and had billing caps turned on but we rushed in to production and now the whole business relies on that thing is in an outage and destroying customer trust we've barely earned yet"

I get the flip side but... 2nd order effects oof.

I don't get it.

They are saying the announcement means more to them than just a headline that most will scroll past. Maybe you are seeing something I'm not.

I'll take the L but it still sorta maps to where I was going with the Mormon angle.

I've been around Mormons, not a religion scholar, but it seems plausible to me the same "one upsmanship" mormons have with missions, large paternalistic families, avoiding "outsiders" (see: homeschooling), etc are common in other religious communities. Like maybe the protestant Christian one you are in?

Describing it as "good reason" is something.

But I don't think you meant it that way.

For anyone reading that wasn't around it was very much an irrational hysteria. The bigots latched on to it to spread fear and justify their dehumanization of gay people. There were people that tried to bring reason and science to the conversation but they were drowned out by the panic/bigotry.

There was no good reason for the AIDS phobia in the 80s.

Not sure if you are disputing something I didn't say but yes, you are correct.

Assuming you are Mormon, is home schooling sort of another form of virtue signaling Mormon families employ or is it more of a way to ensure your families don't get excluded? Like, did you really have a choice in the matter once you realized you either go full Mormon or leave the church entirely?
