Yeah, I'm with you on that (like, if it were a fake attempt, wouldn't you want the shooter to not be a Republican?), but there are enough weird things around the shooting that it should give anyone pause.

The big one that I haven't seen a compelling answer for is how someone managed to get on a roof within comfortable plinking distance of a former president running for reelection and then fire multiple shots before getting dusted. "Incompetence" is the only answer we've been given, so I'm not surprised that conspiracy theorists are flocking to this.

I don't have it handy, but I recommend reading Anthropic's report about mythos and security. They state that in the long run, models which can iteratively build an attack against a perceived vulnerability will be a major win for defenders, but in the short term, they present an advantage to attackers since they basically expose oodles of new zero days.

What an incredibly sad thing to admit.

I'd nearly forgotten how he sent JD "Mercy stroke" Vance to resolve the situation.

If you think about the corporation as a vehicle for investor capital rather than an entity which provides services, the prevalence of this decision makes a lot more sense.

I had no idea he was such an iconic character. My buddy in high school was a gearhead and always had his nose in the latest copy of Jegs, so I was indirectly exposed to RF for years. Pretty cool to see he has a history all the way back to the '50s!

No true leftist would post this

In the current context, where we're explicitly talking about Epstein and his network of suppliers and customers, we can reasonably infer this and realize that it's a weird fucking time to lionize the celibate pedophile.

Those of us who lived through the Microsoft vs Linux debacle know that you don't need a large, popular distribution to manufacture a legal challenge. All you need is something that effectively undermines the opposition's legal basis.

And yet we still can't fly our air superiority fighters over Iran without taking fire. Outstanding work, boys.

I am not sure open source can reproduce the "LinkedIn experience". I'm also not sure that's a huge loss. That place is a dumpster fire on a steep hill.

It's the sort of move that might look like a clever reversal, but ultimately has a very steep price tag.

A blockade is an act of war, and this one is clearly pointed at the rest of the world, not Iran. It's predicated on the same faulty assumption that Trump's administration made when invading Iran: our military is unanswerable, and they will take it lying down.

Escalation paths from this are all bad-- what if an EU ship ignores challenges from a US Navy vessel, or China sends a military escort with a shipping fleet? Are we really about to start another shooting war, or will we stand there with our dicks in our hands as they sail by?

I'm thinking this brilliant idea is abandoned in a week.
