My only weakness was not being cynical enough.

The other 39% view it unfavorably but don't have the spine to speak out against their own party when they know the poll results will be publicized.

Instead of posting a screenshot and a link, they posted a broken Instagram embed instead. Come on.

I'm sat down with a republican family member and she curses the television every time Trump starts one of his ridiculous rants instead of answering a question. It's like watching a sports fan lament their favorite team losing.

I did a quick dig because I wanted to see if the rise in police homicide would trend with population growth and violent crime rates. It did not.

Violent crime has been pretty stable for the past decade. Growth in police homicide exceeded the population growth rate by about 7%, if I did my math right.

I'd like to investigate more when I have the time.

Do you feel that the 4th amendment should protect them? Or perhaps a new amendment should be written to protect them and abolish power of subpoena?

I'm slightly biased as I ask this. I feel that the mind is "sacred" in a sense, that it should be considered a fundamental human right for an individual to be able to preserve privacy over their internally held thoughts and memories, and that the ability of the court to force an individual to speak or disclose part of their mind is a wild overreach of power and an affront to the personal liberty of the innocent.

I'm starting to like this news outlet.

The van was listed for sale on GovDeals. I thought the hard hat on the dash was a nice touch.

The government doesn't need a warrant to browse data that it's already in possession of. Food for thought.

I passed on a lot of the fancier apartment buildings for requiring an app and a cell phone to gain access to your own home. I shouldn't have to agree to an arbitration/class action waiver to use my own front door, I don't feel comfortable with management getting a notification on their phone every time I come or go, I don't like the fact that 20+ listed partner companies have access to sensitive personal data, and I shouldn't have to wait for maintenance to show up in the middle of the night because I couldn't make it back home before my personal tracking device died on me.

The sad thing is that most of these locking units cost these apartments hundreds of dollars each on top of a monthly subscription.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has finally published the world’s first three official post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, tools designed to protect key systems against future quantum computers powerful enough to crack any code generated by a modern computer.

I'm most interested in their video that covers the use of social media to advance policy.

Intel is supposed to be heading domestic chip production very soon. An Intel failure could have significant national security implications. The fed won't allow them to fail.

If I have to buy a "new" car someday, I'm cutting off every antenna I see.

That's the first thing I was going to mention. I just closed the page without reading the article.

They tried to search my laptop when they went through my car at the border, and were greeted with an encrypted boot screen. They tried to interrogate me twice. Glad to know nobody else will have to deal with that now.

"So, you're a tech guy, huh? I bet you're smart." 😐 ...

"Are you into politics? Who'd you vote for?" 🫤 ...

"I'm just trying to have a friendly conversation with you." 🤐 ...
