For those of us who aren’t US taxpayers, we can avoid giving our money to those who are US taxpayers.

That’s the neat part - they don’t.

Good news.

Statically, I’ll probably need this type of therapy within the next 10-15 years. I hope it’s ready for general clinical use by then.

Do the courts always make the right choices?

More often than knee-jerk wannabe vigilantes do.

Will be interesting to see how this ouroboros functions in 10 years when it’s still recycling the state of the art as of 2022, and the senior devs start retiring with nothing but agentic backfills.

That’s a concern for future executives.

The ones making today’s decisions only need concern themselves with the current quarter’s profits.

By the time things fall apart, they’ll be down the road enjoying their golden parachute, while making “bold decisions” at some other company.

But how is a car getting Genetic information.

Fart sniffing seat sensors?

If the dealer thinks they can get away with

That is different than "voids your warranty "

That’s just normal dealer shenanigans.

shattered the myth of the ‘safe American cloud’

That myth has been shattered for a very long time.

I don’t understand why people still believe that old lie?

Also, if you want your card provider to stop a certain merchant from getting payments, you can usually do that relatively easily.

That is becoming less “relatively easy” than it was even a few years ago. The CC companies are adding more steps than there once was.

I don’t trust big businesses to act in my interest, even when it is also very much in their best interests.

Witness the insurance industry flagging the risks of climate change an a massive risk to their industry, and then not using their immense marketing and lobbying power to push for changes that would ultimately result in better future profits (and even survivability) for themselves.

True, but there are levels of more or less bad among them.

At minimum we can hope for a less bad group to deal with, since we’re always going to have to deal with them in some capacity due to geography.

I agree that seems to be his signature move.

And it hasn’t occurred to him that anyone (or everyone) might figure it out…

Current politicians struggle to make decisions three months into the future.

And business leaders don’t think past the next profit statement.

wait and see if the next administration is less corrupt.

It’s hard to imagine how they couldn’t be.

Unless there is no change in administration.

I got 5 or 6 top level “tornado in your area” alerts - not from Environment Canada, mind you, but from the government emergency alert system

I just looked at my emergency alert history, and I got 19 tornado alerts on June 9, and I was also a signifigant distance from the areas where the storm damage occurred.

I understand that the path of a tornado can be unpredictable, but after the first 10 alerts, I got the message. No need to keep sending them every few minutes (I got a couple of bursts of 3 of them within 5 minutes)

then why is Trump bothering to talk about not renewing it?

Because he has a pathological need to see his name in the headlines on a daily basis.

100% transparent, impossible to corrupt, no baggage.

100% dreaming.

While not providing an especially useful end product, even though that product is displacing well educated and skilled workers.

Be careful what you wish for.

The last “grass roots” party to gain any sort of traction was the Reform Party.

And we still haven’t recovered from their legacy.

I guess it’s better late than never, but how the hell did this take so long?
