  • This is an astoundingly stupid idea. What other program delivers more value for everyone who develops or uses technology than the CVE program?

    What is the motive here? It seems like such a stupendously moronic move and so precisely targeted that there must be a motive. Make life easier for Russian hackers?

  • So, there are a few of scenarios here:

    1. They knowingly sent this to her and intend to follow through (least likely IMO)
    2. They knowingly sent this in an attempt to scare an immigration attorney (somewhat likely)
    3. They accidentally sent this because they are negligently sending these notices without any checks or due process (most likely)

    The most likely option, while less scary than #1 and #2 is still supremely frightening. They are simply removing due process from the process. It is just a process now without any due diligence involved.

  • I don't think that's it. I think that this article is missing the point. Trump is manipulating the market in the most blatant of ways. He is intentionally crashing the market, telling people who listen to him when to sell and when to buy, then recinding the order that crashed the market.

    He literally posted on truth social today to say that it is a great time to buy. Then, four hours later he rescinded the teriffs.

    He is not caving to Wall Street. He is aiding insider trading at the largest scale ever seen.

  • Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone but him. They just cut $55M intended to fund training for rural teachers (because who wants educated educators?) and now he wants to spend more than that on a mile long military parade celebrating his birthday. And it's not even a milestone birthday, just a birthday.

    From the article, Trump wanted to do something similar but, presumably smaller, in his first term but backed off after the price tag came to $92M. He instead opted for an event that ONLY cost $13M. How much do you think this one will cost? What will get cut to fund it?

    Fucking narcissistic traitor... He'll probably figure out how to grift a few tens of millions from this by selling tickets, too.

  • Sorry, the hostility wasn't really aed at you. It was more intended to be aimed at the media. I'm just a little tired of people believing that protests weren't happening before now. They were happening but the media wasn't covering them.

  • Nearly 26.6 million people in the U.S. rely on UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual through insured and self-funded plans. In addition, we serve more than 7.5 million people with care and benefits services outside of the United States.

    Rather than hundreds to thousands, I'm going to go with thousands to tens of thousands.

    What would you have done? White guy observing anti-black racism.

    I'm a white guy from a fairly non-diverse city. I was at a grocery store today where a cashier opened up their line to serve me and, I thought, the person behind me. As they were serving me, though, they put up their lane closed sign right in front of the black man behind me. The buy was just trying to purchase some tuna, bread, and peanut butter.

    The cashier basically decided to serve me, a middle class white man, but refused to serve the black man behind me. I was so shocked that I didn't say anything. It is possible that I misunderstood the situation but it seemed so blatant.

    What should I have done in this situation? Should I have spoken up? Would that have just been more embarrassing for the man who was being discriminated against?

    Honestly, I'm still just in shock to see someone treated so poorly when they were simply trying to buy food for themselves. I recognize that means that I'm sheltered but I also feel like I should be able to use my unearned privilege to help others wh

    Make it more obvious which user you are currently

    I keep running into issues where I'm unsure of which account I'm currently using. It would be nice if it were more obvious at all times. Two things that would help me are:

    • always display the current user somewhere, regardless of what content is being viewed.
    • allow setting different color themes for different users.

    How do some podcasts have location-based ads when my podcast player doesn't have location permissions?

    I use Podcast Addict and have recently noticed location-based ads in my podcasts. Adds that are local to my large town / small city. The app doesn't have location permissions, so how are the podcasts embedding localized ads?

    Some better shots of American White Pelicans from the nearby lake (June 2023, Colorado)

    They decided to give a show today. Six of them were hanging out on the dock, but when I stopped to take pictures, they all decided to take off and do circles over the lake.

    Barn Swallow (Colorado, June 2023)

    I got lucky and this guy posed for me for about five minutes. I tried to get some in flight, but they're simply too fast for me!

    Three or four of these guys have been hanging out in the lake near my house.
