Don't forget to sprinkle in some GFC with the banks it'll take down.

I agree with the gist, and I'm probably dumb but how would he both sell high and sell to himself?

Is that a sink? A racoon shower / bath?

I presume this is at a vet.

Americans - help me please, I am not knowledgeable in the ways of the racoon and need context for this adorable mound.

When they fire all the people who won't support their idiocy, this is what's left.

The risk absolutely pales in comparison to the privacy benefits (and the risk of abuses by law enforcement, that were already seeing bear out).

In the USA you supposedly have a right against self-incrimination under the 5th Amendment.

I don't see how being asked to provide your private unlock code or password so that the pigs can trawl your phone just fishing for anything incriminating (or just add something incriminating) would be anything other than "self-incrimination". You should have a right to tell them to fuck off, and this has never been tested by the supreme court.

"the constitutional right of a person to refuse to answer questions or otherwise give testimony against himself".

The Supreme Court of the United States has held that "a witness may have a reasonable fear of prosecution and yet be innocent of any wrongdoing. The privilege serves to protect the innocent who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances."

However, the conservative Roberts SC has already indicated their pleasure in weakening this protection - there's a good chance they'd weaken it more, so long as it's for a conservative cause.

Professor James Joseph Duane of the Regent University School of Law argues that the Supreme Court, in a 5–4 decision in Salinas v. Texas,[45] significantly weakened the privilege, saying "your choice to use the Fifth Amendment privilege can be used against you at trial depending exactly how and where you do it."[46]

This is a great way to sit on your balls.

If that's the goal, then you do you.

has been described by Politico as the AI boom's most "acerbic gadfly"

The AI boom is about as real as the Metaverse boom.

I've seen researchers and academics prefer 'AI spring' to contrast with the AI winter of the last few decades to highlight the change in research and development spending, without the 'successful market' implications of the word 'boom'. Can't really call it a 'boom' when you're losing billions a day.

Alexander is a parable about pulling out.

Its amazing the amount of obvious highly personal profile information people will give away just for a little convenience, nary a care that its impossible to get back once it's gone.

I still don't know what Tesseract is and now I guess I don't need to care.

Also, humans driving cars, because it's pretty easy to have fewer 'crashes' when you just omit a heap of crashes.

“the analysis excluded minor incidents involving Waymos that would likely not have been reported to the police had a human been driving,”
