Studies generally show the economy does better under Democrats than Republicans, in measurements of CPI, GDP, job growth, and unemployment. Republicans however have a massive propaganda machine that has gaslit the country in believing the opposite. Frequently this is backed by short term plays that make things "feel" better but cause significant long term problems. Like a CEO firing the QA team, line goes up this quarter and by the time the consequences arrive they're gone and blame the next guy.

Good Album. Boom! is still sadly as applicable today.

The name being their response to early versions of the tracks leaking in Napster is great. Not "you're taking our money" but "wait till we finish the songs, THEN steal it".

The disc itself looks just like a blank CD-R with a sharpie label, but there's also "hand drawn" alternate versions from each of the members.

Seeing "the source is available here on GitHub", "the project was forked and is now maintained as (other name)", etc. after most of these really helps show the difference with Google. Well that and the length of the article, Google has far more deaths under their belt.

Wow Matt really looking bad on this one. This just reeks of trying to push out a major business competitor to wordpress.com and abusing control over wordpress.org to do it.

The bridge is on S Pennsylvania Ave in Lansing, MI, hence "Penny". Construction has routed more people through there than normal lately increasing the bridge's hunger.

If there's one thing people that rent trucks or RVs never learn, it's the height of their vehicle (and that yes the flashing overheight lights are in fact for you).

Wow, come on, who would really think that?

3% is far too low.

Not to mention that ads are a prime vector for malware and spyware (well, more spyware on top of the ad vendor itself).

Bold of you to assume Christians follow the Bible and not just Supply Side Jesus.

I get that it's not the point of the article or really an argument being made but this annoys me:

We could blame United or Delta that decided to run EDR software on a machine that was supposed to display flight details at a check-in counter. Sure, it makes sense to run EDR on a mission-critical machine, but on a dumb display of information?

I mean yea that's like running EDR on your HVAC controllers. Oh no, what's a hacker going to do, turn off the AC? Try asking Target about that one.

You've got displays showing live data and I haven't seen an army of staff running USB drives to every TV when a flight gets delayed. Those displays have at least some connection into your network, and an unlocked door doesn't care who it lets in. Sure you can firewall off those machines to only what they need, unless your firewall has a 0-day that lets them bypass it, or the system they pull data from does. Or maybe they just hijack all the displays to show porn for a laugh, or falsified gate and time info to cause chaos for the staff.

Security works in layers because, as clearly shown in this incident, individual systems and people are fallible. "It's not like I need to secure this" is the attitude that leads to things like our joke of an IoT ecosystem. And to why things like CrowdStrike are even made in the first place.

The Supreme Court on Friday overturned a landmark 40-year-old decision that gave federal agencies broad regulatory power, upending their authority to issue regulations unless Congress has spoken clearly.

How about pass and enforce strong digital privacy protection laws you fucking cowards. When other countries spy on us it's scary and bad, but for US companies? Best we can do is ban porn and demand backdoors to stop E2EE messaging.

TLD is just another DNS layer, try an SOA or NS lookup for "com." those are obviously hosted somewhere. Hell the "." at the end is even another layer with the root nameservers. You'd probably trip up a bunch of systems that filter on common convention rather than the actual RFC, but you could do it.
