The irony is that Trump won on a message of "drain the swamp" which was supposed to address this issue. Instead it seems like it's more of just "replace the swamp" with his own guys.

I think the swamp has been expanded more than replaced.

The message is just "swamp!" now.

Every accusation from Republicans, without exception, is either a confession, a plan, or an unfulfilled wish.

Another point of irony: Elon was tasked with "draining" the swamp and the left immediately goes to burn Teslas.

For me, when someone promises to "drain the swamp", they reveal their ignorance and selfishness with their shallow anti-swamp ideology.

Swamps are rich ecosystems with incredible natural beauty and diversity. Draining a swamp is extraordinarily bad in general, even if good for wealthy property developers.

Ironically, it seems that "drain the swamp" turns out to be an apt metaphor for what Trump and that gang have been doing, as promised.


“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

The swamp has always been him and his buddies. Pure projection. Everything he spouts is always pure projection.

It’s not even ironic. Trump never genuinely intended to do so, and anybody with a brain never trusted them to do so either. Just another case of “every accusation an admission” in the case of the leaders, and “it’s only bad when it’s not our guy doing it” in the case of the followers.

>The effect lasted for around three months in animal experiments.

It would just be temporary, but there is likely trade offs.


Maybe add a "flag listing" button so users can alert you?

My daughter, in grade school, uses a Chromebook at school and access Google Classroom through Chrome. The school has very few restrictions on extensions and when I log into her account, Chrome is littered with extensions. They all innocuous (ex. change cursor into cat, pets play around on your screen etc). However, without fail, each time I log in and go to the extension page, Chrome notifies me that one or more of the extensions was removed due to malicious activity or whatever.

I don't think that your daughter might know if say any web cam might take photos and see what she's searching if the extensions are indeed malicious.

I'd either go ahead and talk to her and remove extensions altogether and ask her to have a stock/only open source extensions (yes opensource also has supply issues but its infinitely more managable than this) or the second option being to maybe create them yourself . I don't know about how chrome works (I use firefox) but one thing that you can do is if the thing is simple for your daughter, then just vibe code it and use tampermonkey (heck even open source it) and then audit the code written by it yourself if you want better security concerns.

Nowadays I really just end up creating my own extensions with tampermonkey before using any proprietory extension. With tampermonkey, the cycle actually feels really simple (click edit paste etc.) and even a single glance at code can show any security errors for basic stuff and its one of the few use cases of (AI?) in my opinion.


Looks like it will be an infrared camera, so perhaps that changes the requirement?

Doesn't that just make it worse? It can't see color, but instead it can potentially see through thin clothing

That law regulates captured images. It doesn't require continuous shutter sounds while the phone is processing and even displaying the camera input - only once an image is captured. It seems unlikely that the AirPods will allow users to capture IR images that are used for gestural control and environmental awareness for system functions.

The law doesn't make a distinction for what the AirPod's internal processing does. Infrared definitely violates people's privacy and dignity.

Is there a shutter sound when someone uses FaceID? That uses infrared to capture the users face.

Of course not

But that’s unrelated to the shutter sound law

I remember allAdvantage. I remember hitting like $20 or some low figure which was their base payout. For a 12 year old kid that would have been awesome. Lo and behold I got an email saying they had increased their minimum pay out to $50 and I never used it again.


I must have been early because I received a payout of a few € once.


>seized $15 billion from the alleged kingpin

I know the answer but why amass $15 billion, more money than a person could spend in a lifetime, and still conduct this scam? You think a person would say "enough" and escape to a beach somewhere.


Because it was old Bitcoin, which was confiscated long time ago and did 100x.


I'm not sure what to call the bias but the people who have done that we don't hear about so we're only hearing about the ones that don't do that. Who knows how many ruffians and scofflaws are out there on beaches, going unknown!


Good point - it's like the opposite of survivorship bias? We only hear about the ones that don't survive and get caught. The "survivors" we don't hear about all the criminals who are still at large I guess.


>It's structured in a way that will probably harm the goal.

Potentially could also stop others from donating to athletes because they hear this and think "some rich guy already took care of them" not knowing the details.


Ask Michael Scott how this works out.


Really depends on country you live in. Just google local printers and email them.
