at least three congressional Republicans

How does that compare with the number of congressional Republicans actively spreading this disinformation?

Your username raises questions. I'm not sure any of them need answers, though...

That was my reaction, too. I feel like I'm aging at an accelerated pace with these guys in charge.

Quoting the article,

The reason for the long list and the short letter is because the letter itself was not written to convince the general public to vote for Harris.

Instead, its purpose is to serve as a well-timed political show of force for Harris, who is locked in a very tight race, with the first presidential debate just four days away.

I attended a Ralph Nader rally in Boston ahead of the 2000 US presidential election. It was a high energy event, with an atmosphere almost like a pop music show. Nader and his VP candidate both spoke about their campaign positions, with frequent pauses for enthusiastic applause from the crowd. Nader was a third-party candidate, which meant that he was an outsider to the regular election process, and in particular was not invited to the nationally televised debates. There were frequent chants of "Let Ralph Debate", and we were certain that the establishment was uncomfortable with that idea because they knew his policies would be very popular. Cash donations were collected, and many people wrote pro-Nader messages on the bills they gave.

I suspect your rally will be similar, really. Not quite as much of an outsider vibe, but maybe it'll be replaced with an underdog vibe. Expect an optimistic event that tries to inspire enthusiasm. It's not just about encouraging your direct support, but also about inspiring you encourage others to support the campaign.

But the term is his, and it's what he's using to rationalize his plans. He's not declaring that he/Trump are declaring a post-constitutional doctrine, but that we're already living in one and thus he's justified in his radical reinterpretations of it.

Just ask ChatGPT; it's better than humans at proving its humanity with these stupid things.

VMs provide a meaningful security boundary between applications. Containers (docker, etc) do not.

That's what we said about Roe as well. They will always find some new way to manufacture outrage even after they get their way.

Interesting! From his post,

Mikhail advised me to use balanced trees instead of extensible hashing

And

I never told Mikhail that Oracle had tried implementing a filesystem using balanced trees, and its performance was terrible leading to most insiders in the industry concluding that balanced trees performed poorly for filesystem File size patterns.

Of course, that filesystem exists today as btrfs.

I'm 100% trying this on my 9-year-old next time he tells me he's bored. It'll be a gentle smack, of course...

Maybe you should poll people outside your social circles?
