This is Enron-scale manipulation. Someone’s ripping off the public and making a mint with the help of the regulators.

He looks more like a serious person and less like a clown. But in our upside-down world, we send in the clowns.

She was accused of faking an incriminating video of teenage cheerleaders. She was arrested, outcast and condemned. The problem? Nothing was fake after all (www.theguardian.com)

Madi Hime is taking a deep drag on a blue vape in the video, her eyes shut, her face flushed with pleasure. The 16-year-old exhales with her head thrown back, collapsing into laughter that causes smoke to billow out of her mouth. The clip is grainy and shaky – as if shot in low light by someone who had zoomed in on Madi’s...

Creating a self-contained binary (www.github.com)

I have a program (fldigi, pointed to by the github link) that uses dozens of shared libraries. I would like to be able to distribute a pre-compiled version of the program for testers. I could require each tester to install the shared libraries and compile the program for themselves, however, this would be extremely difficult for...

profdc9,

This seems so incredibly ill-advised. If students become martyred by trigger-happy snipers, these protests will boil over into open violence. Imagine thousands of videos flooding social media in an instant showing student corpses. I fear that gasoline has been poured and matches are being lit everywhere.

4-star generals side with Smith, tell SCOTUS Trump immunity claim is 'assault' on democracy (lawandcrime.com)

A distinguished group of retired four-star generals and admirals from the U.S. military have argued in a brief filed in the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday that Donald Trump’s claims of absolute “presidential immunity” from criminal prosecution tied to Jan. 6 is an “assault” on the “foundational commitments”...

profdc9,

It’s quite ominous that retired senior military officers need to say this. It suggests that if Trump is reelected, we could see widespread mutiny, because officers would refuse to accept orders for which they might be criminally liable. Even if SCOTUS makes Trump immune, it does not necessarily make anyone following his orders immune. Choosing between a committing a crime like murder, and another like insubordination, an officer might well choose insubordination.

Is this a boondoggle or is it actually useful investment? (www.epa.gov)

It seems to me these giant grants to a small number of organizations (Climate United Fund, Coalition for Green Capital, Power Forward Communities) seems like it could be delivering pork to well-connected people. Is this actually going to produce “clean” energy and help disadvantaged people? These seem like very large awards...

Supreme court: preventing hedge funds from owning single-family homes infringes on their free speech to dictate what you have to pay to not be homeless.

profdc9,

I can only imagine how desperate and helpless an entire generation of children feel in Russia right now, with their fathers sent to die in a worthless war.

The good news is that there’s going to be a riveting Netflix documentary about it,

profdc9,

John Fetterman shows the integrity of John Fetterman. I am sure many of his caucus are nervous about maintaining a majority.

profdc9,

He should have let himself be fired. Then he could have brought a lawsuit against the school district over the matter. The school district would have had to demonstrate their reason to fire him on the record. If the researcher received damages for wrongful termination, the taxpayers would know it’s their money that is being frivolously spent to support someone’s homophobic agenda.

Guitar Pedal (github.com)

For the past few days I’ve been working on a 3-D printable footpedal potentiometer to be used in a guitar pedal. It is a parametric model in FreeCAD. It has a top and bottom that hinge together, with a potentiometer that is coaxial with the hinge so that when the pedal is pressed, the potentiometer is rotated....

He’s 100% committed to getting the Presidency to extricate himself from his situation, and using that office to keep himself out of the reach of justice.

profdc9,

Now that Thomas’s image can not get any worse, he’s just going to become more overt about trying to destroy the US government from the bench. That’s all that will happen.

Everyone knows that the real purpose of CAPTCHA tests are to train computers to replace us.
