> Haven't you ever wondered why the Trump administration, once in office, never made any move to prosecute her?

No. He won and for him it was all that mattered.

And besides, politics is about winning through any speech and slogan necessary.

I think all politicians are crooked in one way or another and have a ton of skeletons in their closets.
Many Republican Presidential candidates campaigned on promising this, but in office they are least tried to govern. The voters got fed up and voted for someone who genuinely did want to destroy it.

I agree with this idea and line of thinking, and it's well-intentioned but it comes with its own costs. There's a risk that over time, people might start to feel like they're being gaslit by a media conspiracy, and this feeling may build up until eventually society snaps into an extreme backlash, which may be worse than the original prejudice.

Present events feel like one example of this.

I think a similar thing happened with COVID; early on the media and government went hard on filtering information, in order to suppress anti-asian discrimination (as a sibling commenter mentions) or to prevent shortages of masks, but it ended up like squeezing a water balloon. Trying to control public opinion this way might have had short-term success but caused all sorts of radical conspiracy outbursts and a loss of trust in institutions.

So as a long term strategy, it might just not work that well.

The false appearance of conspiracy can easily arise when you have numerous people with roughly aligned ideologies and incentives independently responding to similar stimuli in whatever way they personally think is the most prudent. That's probably what's going on here.

The short answer is that national parks are not a self-contained business, they are held in trust for all Americans. Very high entry fees would violate that trust by excluding most citizens. So they are primarily supported by taxes, as they should be.

Parks do generate a ton of economic activity, but directly capture little of it. Airfare, gas, lodging, meals, retail sales, social media revenue, etc. mostly happen outside the parks. Like the highway system or national defense, they are a national platform that is federally maintained.

All that said, a national park is fundamentally not an economic concept. It satisfies a national desire that is deeper than just making a bit of money. The economic story is just another way of saying that tons of people love the parks.

> "indictments"

An indictment is a formal charge or accusation. You can formally accuse or charge anyone with anything. It doesn't mean that any of the charges has any merit or are proven. And normally, nothing has come out of it.

> siezed tens of millions of dollars of assets

You can seize 'assets worth millions' from anyone. That doesn't mean anything either. The US constantly keeps doing that to its competitors' companies.

All that the russiagate stampede produced was proof that a Russian media outlet paid for $150,000 worth of bad Facebook ads that pointed to actual American mainstream media news pieces about Hillary Clinton's laptop. Nothing fake, nothing illegal.

But the russiagate excuse did allow the consultants and companies that advised the Clinton campaign to create the election disaster it suffered. They weren't the reason why the campaign flopped. It was Russia. Then the same clique of consultants sank Harris campaign just last year. This time it wasn't possible to blame Russia.

> We recommend Mullvad Browser if you are focused on strong privacy protections and anti-fingerprinting out of the box

Just want to put emphasis on “out of the box”. Changing any of the default settings will cause you to stand out. The fingerprinting protection is essentially to have a bunch of people all using the same browser with all of the mechanisms used for fingerprinting being either disabled or giving the same results on all installations; everyone has the same fingerprint.
No 'deepfake' was revealed by the russiagate stampede. What they found was that a Russian media company paid for $150,000 worth of Facebook ads pointing to NYT or WSJ or whichever American mainstream media outlet news about Hillary Clinton's laptop. Other than that there was no proof of anything but a lot of accusations.
I've definitely found Gemini to be the least "flattering". And I don't say that in a purely good way, sometimes I find it actually kinda mean in the way it responds.
https://huggingface.co/datasets/jonathan-roberts1/zerobench/... is a good way to review them. Some of them seem pretty poorly designed and lots use some arbitrary math thing where any single flaw might compound to a wrong answer but in an unclear way. others have multiple answers and others still seems they failed to understand their own task.

#4 sticks out as pretty poorly designed because as a human I can't get their answer. Like how many cats, one is just the bowtie, does that count as a cat? I could construe it's there but it's not actually in the picture. how many leaves? if it's hard to tell them apart are they actually "distinct. same with the window panes, based on the answer number they think they're being tricky counting the window in the background but semantically you would probably not want a model to pick up on that and even then I don't think it's actually possible to tell if that's 4 panes (2 double paned sides with inner lattice) or like 12.

Another random sample #64, I see 5 pens 2 of which are "clicky" and one that I can't tell if it's clicky or twisty. 3/5 do not have lids so %60.00 but they got 21.43 which means they counted the markers even though they only asked for PENS, they failed to semantically parse their own question.

> How many of those advanced concept in Rust such as borrow checker & lifetime could be avoided as a beginner?

As a beginner, you can avoid references (&) and simply clone() everything when it gives you trouble. If you start off by writing simple Actix/Axum web services instead of manually multithreaded apps, the problem domain is inherently linear and you'll avoid lifetimes and the borrow checker almost entirely. This lets you feel productive while getting a feel for the rest of the language features.

Don't do this once you learn the ropes of the borrow checker, of course. Once you grok it, the borrow checker is almost second nature.
How do you know that is where you got the memory? Early birthdays can be tricky because it is common for families to record them on video and if you saw such a video a few years later that could create a memory that you would think was from the birthday itself.

Personally I don't trust most memories I have from before around 4 because my parents had around 20 reels of home movies from that time and I know that I saw several of those movies a few years later.

Well -- Trump's executive order changed the official name of the body of water from the American perspective. Sure, I thought this was dumb.

But -- I said "futile" specifically about legal action against Google. They changed the name of a body of water for users in a country to the new official name of that body of water in said country.

I just don't think there's anything there (on Google's side). Perhaps I'm wrong though, as I'm not an international law expert.

In addition to the other good answers, if the amount of state that's explicitly managed by software gets too large then it gets really expensive to save or restore that state. This happens, for example, when a syscall transfers control to the operating system. If the (many-MB) cache were software-managed, the OS would need to decide between flushing it all to main memory (expensive for quick syscalls) or leaving it in place and having OS code and data be uncached. Function calls between libraries have similar problems, how is a called function supposed to know which cache space is available for it to use? If you call the same function multiple times who's responsible for keeping its working data cached?
For a 32MB L3 cache, flushing the entire cache to memory (as would be required when switching between processes) could take over a millisecond, let alone trying to manage caches shared by multiple cores.

There is a lot of R&D predating mass cheap solar where proposals do things like have it captured at the production site or arbitrage cheap off peak energy to store it since the grid capacity is there anyway.

Modern solar definitely makes this idea more attractive but you’re still emitting more carbon to build the solar in the hopes you’ll store more than you produced in X years. It is not a great value proposition versus making the grid more efficient or just emitting less by using that solar for the grid instead of sequestration.

I actually had my dad hide out at my place because, while he was visiting, a person attempted to serve him for a non-compete clause. It was in a contract that was written over 20 years ago and never re-authorized. The contract even stated it would only be viable for 1 year.

Company even tried using the state he was living in versus the state the company was registered with because the ladder had more strict non-compete causes and the former recently pass laws against non-compete.

Sorry but a person's lively hood should not be revoked because they left their former employer that treated them like shit.

Of course it equivalent to a SLAP suit and nothing of value came of it. It cost both parties loss of income. Game theory was a loose loose outcome resolution. The case did help other leave the company with impunity and no court case because of the loss.

Lucky his next employer fitted the bill if he stayed on for four years.

We moved to caddy as a front end for our unlimited domains offering after some experimentation[0]. ALBs didn't work at the scale we needed them to, so we run our own caddy instances.

Seems to work great. We did run into a rate limiting issue with letsencrypt when we tried to provision too many certs at one time. Ended up having to use wildcard certs to decrease the number of requests. Hardly caddy's fault, though.

MemSed: A New MEMory Search and EDit Tool for Linux, Inspired by Cheat Engine
I wanted to do the usual Cheat Engine workflow to edit values in games, but found no good solution for Linux. There's Game Conqueror but that doesn't really work how I wanted, so I just made my own!

It is still a work in progress, but works fairly well for day-to-day use at this point. Should run on most Linux distros and does not have any additional requirements, it's a single (nearly static) binary. Due to the nature of what it does (read/write process memory) it requires running as root, insert usual word of warning about that here.

Indeed. A week is basically 2% of a year, which is quite a chunk. You basically get 50 ticks a year, and that ticks quite fast.

I’d rather have a GUI builder ala Sun’s DevGuide. Unsure how Delphi/VB did it, but when I tried them back in the 90s they didn’t click. Nowadays, every UI builder seems significantly more complicated.

DevGuide completely separated the frontend from the backend, linked together by defining method names for events. When you compiled the backend, it would generate any changes from the frontend description — I don’t remember the file format but it was probably proprietary.

It was so easy I could do any non-graphics GUI w/ minimal effort. Sadly, it looks effectively absent from the internet.

Since you asked, I’d prefer Ruby, but if you delivered something like DevGuide I’d even learn Python.

Interesting read. Time wasn't a variable I had considered missing from interactions with AI, but it makes sense.

I'd also add this: tools like the AI bots so prevalent today are flawed because they cannot consider things like context, limitations, dependencies and scope. I give a question...they attempt to spit out a complete answer with complete disregard for the context which my question is coming from.

AI fails in the same way a monkey can't drive a car.... abstraction. We humans know a red light ahead means stop at the stop light, not stop immediately where you are right now. All AI can do is make a best guess of what the inputs pattern-match to. This is like always having an answer without ever asking for clarification or context.

You seem to somehow connect it to public spending. But "lost resources" happen in every kind of company and are just a function of size. A small office will lose some random notes, a data processing company will have a few TB hanging around due to forgotten cleanup processes. It just happens and one of the functions of your AWS TAM is to ask you sometimes about an unused bucket they noticed. The more you spend every month, the more things can become a rounding error in cost.
