Jurors rejected the allegations of another woman and couldn’t reach verdicts on two others, including those of a documentary filmmaker married to California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

wat

a documentary filmmaker married to California Gov. Gavin Newsom

Does she not have a name? Does the lack of verdict make her so fucking insignificant that she’s reduced to her fucking husband’s property? In normal contexts this pisses me off; in this context how the fuck did someone write this and more than one someone approve this for publication?

Edit with their caveat:

The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly as Chernyshova has, and her attorney approved of the AP using her name.

Huh. So is Newsom married to a lot of documentary filmmakers or did the AP name her in the most fucking demeaning way possible?

I think the Medium article is bullshit. It doesn’t provide anything more than the Wikipedia for its sources and all Wikipedia says is what you quoted. Direct organization funding by the CIA does not mean an employee is a CIA agent. Lots of DARPA projects that we use for radical things were made by radicals that vehemently opposed everything but government grants (many others were either agents or supporter; Surveillance Valley is a great read).

She’s totally a fucking stooge though. There’s no fucking way you say that about the CIA then (or in hindsight about then when she wrote her biography given all the other things that came out since then) without being a fucking stooge. I don’t think we can conclude anything more than that without more context, which I’ve yet to find.

Absolutely (re: theming and tuning)! My actual work scheme is a slightly off white and a lighter transparent black, which is closer to the theming you’re talking about. I’m also just really happy with simple stuff, possibly because I did have that old CRT experience? Your point about size is well-taken. I read this article on my phone (which is my travel ereader) and wasn’t bothered. I hadn’t considered size there.

The tools linked in the article (eg WebAIM)you linked give white on black a pass.

Fascinating! White-on-black is how I’ve used ereaders for around 15 years now. Black-on-white (on a screen) burns my eyes.

Did you spend much time as a kid with a raw terminal (eg vanilla DOS on a CRT)? I’m curious if anecdotally there is correlation.

How do you feel about subjective refereeing and following the letter not the spirit (eg basketball refs or using fouls intentionally)?

If the owners knowingly aided spearphishing and other business email compromise laundering, that’s not cool. That has nothing to do with any surveillance laws, either. Assuming there is evidence that proves this, then they should go down. If the evidence is just “yeaaaaahhhh they knew what it was used for,” that’s bullshit and falls into your complaint. Based on similar prosecutions, the feds wait to prosecute this stuff until they have actual evidence that shows the defendants knew they were directly supporting crime (assuming we’re not talking trumped-up narcoterrorism charges). As a security professional this narrow band, assuming all of my assumptions are true, is legit and should be prosecuted. You should not enable spearphishing and ransomware because that makes lots of problems.

If my assumptions don’t pan out, ie there is no direct evidence linking them to that narrow band, sure, it’s a shitty prosecution.

There are valid reasons to use one instead of the other. In most cases there isn’t a difference to the end user.

If you find the relevant department and start harassing them on Twitter and other socials at least once a day they will eventually fix it. This has happened before with other departments and security issues. My record is eight days.

Based on my experience when I was still buying Domino’s, these emails that you can’t opt out of aren’t even ads. “Status of your account and points total” is what it says on the tin. It’s not promotional offers or spam, it’s information pertinent to your account meaning it’s rare.

This might have changed in the years since I stopped using Domino’s so YMMV.

See my link for 47. Its Wikipedia has more context. If you’re a Star Trek fan, you’ve seen it a ton.

42, 47, and 50 all make sense to me. What’s the significance of 37, 57, and 73?

I am still mystified by IDE VCS tools. It’s usually faster for me to do a quick CLI shuffle than use the IDE.

The only other time rewriting history might be bad is when you’re working on a shared branch, which is the point of not rewriting main. If you are working solo on a branch, its history is only what you merge into main so it doesn’t fucking matter at all. If you’re not working solo, maybe you need to adopt a similar process or look at how you’re not working solo. The only time I touch another dev’s branch is at the PR stage and only for quick corrections or missing knowledge so it doesn’t matter if they rebased before or honestly rebase after before the final merge.

No you just do a rebase to bring it in. Assuming you’re making atomic commits you shouldn’t have a ton of merge conflicts. If you have to do this a lot, your branch scope is really bad and the problem isn’t in how you’re using got, it’s in how you’re slicing work.

I think there are some interesting questions to ask around how we can make minimum wage a living standard again. I think there are interesting questions to ask around how to make 4x8s instead of 5x8s work. This article asks nothing, vomits a bunch of news items, provides no analysis, and dances around ad hominem. This is just bad.

This is the house that Jack Welch built, not Thomas Edison. Welch tore down anything that came before and threw up some particle board facades to convince the market there was a skyscraper there.

It’s based on their idea of communication theory. imo it’s useful in some contexts. Here, not so much.

OP has copied over the first three paragraphs of the blog post. Read the rest of it.

I told a bunch of people this would happen given OpenSearch. Color me unsurprised.
