During the court-sanctioned intrusion, the DOJ "enabled temporary collection of non-content routing information" that would "expose GRU attempts to thwart the operation." This did not "impact the routers' normal functionality or collect legitimate user content information," the DOJ claims.

I bet.

I can't explain it either. I'm sure someone will figure out what is going on.

it looked like it had just driven through a mud puddle, except evenly over the entire vehicle

I wouldn't expect a vehicle to rust uniformly.

I would like to see some pictures. It's hard to judge what the magnitude of the problem is without seeing.

Why wait?

on a personal note I must say that I am quite tired of this style of engagement where an entire post is chopped up, regurgitated and replied to in short, low effort dismissals.

I would like to apologize for that. It is a defense against people who act in bad faith.

I will sit down and give you a proper reply when I have time.

Do you have some reason to believe that was my only take away from the book, or are you only parroting Upton Sinclair, who complained about that exact thing?

He [Upton Sinclair] complained about the public's misunderstanding of the point of his book in Cosmopolitan Magazine in October 1906 by saying, "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach."

Later Tuesday, a group of former officials in Republican presidential administrations from Richard Nixon to Trump in a filing with the Supreme Court said Trump has failed to make “two of the mandatory showings required for a delay of” the appeals court ruling.

The former officials in that filing also said that “rejection of absolute immunity in this case is essential to protecting” the Constitution’s “design of the Presidency itself.”

“This Court should deny a stay in this case because Mr. Trump’s claim of such a boundless immunity is wrong,” the filing said.

hm... I wonder whose names are attached to that.

Have you read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair?

Biden has bypassed congress to sell arms to Israel.
Doesn't congress know those artillery shells aren't going to be fired into Gaza? Are they just antisemitic?

Biden Administration Bypasses Congress Again On Emergency Weapons Sale to Israel

By MATTHEW LEE / AP December 30, 2023 12:22 PM EST

didn’t Texas just recently just set a precedent that the supreme court can just be ignored

Did George Wallace set a precedent by standing in the schoolhouse door?

No. That isn't how legal precedent works.

Rights are a created and codified concept. Whether or not something is a right or not is decided by someone somewhere down the line. There is always a foundational document that expresses the right because in it’s absence you don’t really have a right you have either a privilege that can be taken away by a valid or at least powerful authority or you have a grey area where simply no law or social norm applies until further regulation is created.

Do you believe the second amendment creates a (individual or otherwise) right to bear arms?

Rights as we understand them today are not naturally occuring. The idea isn’t even particularly old in the grand scheme of things. Before that point laws definitely existed but they were pretty simplistic operating codes there was no higher echelon of law that superceed other law particularly just layers of powerful people who interacted with the law. If you were basically in charge of the law you could rewrite it as you saw fit and your potential consequences were pissing off someone who could band together and rebel against your authority. If you felt secure enough you could re-write anything through decree. Rights are a feature that was conceptualized or created from scratch in 18th century philosophy with the rise and design of modern concepts of democratic government.

Historically, deciding who ascends to the throne when a king dies or how to distribute a man's property after his death was based on birthright, at least in some cultures. Birthright is an old concept. I believe our modern conception of natural rights or human rights has evolved from that. The development that accompanied democracy was the idea of equal rights, and we're still working on that.

The 2nd Amendment itself is a wonderful example of a non-universal right. Out of all the governments in rhe world today only four have a version of a right to firearms.

The text of the amendment is "arms," not "firearms." Those terms are not interchangeable.

The USA, Guatemala, Mexico and the Czech Republic. Of those only the US and Guatemala have no restrictions on both firearm type and a required licencing program.

In what sense does the United States have no restrictions on firearm type?

Outside of that guns are most often regulated but legal.

Firearms in the United States are regulated. Businesses that buy and sell firearms must have a license.

You technically do not have a right specifically to a car. They are just legal to own without a licence and illegal to use without one.

You only need a license to operate a car on a public road. No license is required for driving a vehicle on private property.

I think that depends on how the law is written and in what way the law is unconstitutional.

Would requiring written orders to vote violate a soldier's right to vote?

The "rest of the world" is entitled to their opinion.

I'm not campaigning for Trump. Sticking your head in the sand and pretending that Gaza isn't a problem will not help Biden win re-election.

But we are going to elect him anyway, because the other guy forgot a thing once

Are you going to pretend the genocide being carried out in Gaza is a non-factor?

It's not Nato, it's NATO isn't it?

I would support an affirmative action firearm ownership program.

I don't think that is how rights work.
