Worth noting the EPA's brief correctly uses "nitrogen oxide" 7 times, and the EPA submitted a declaration from an official who used it twice. But nobody involved in the majority opinion, Justices and clerks, bothered to take the EPA's brief seriously, and so none of them noticed the error.

Way too many people in security operate on vibes and nebulous "risk" concepts. If you think you might be, ask for tangible examples of a risk the stakeholder is articulating. If they can't be specific about the risk, you can't know when the risk has been mitigated either.

It is FAR easier to tear someone's work down than to create yourself. If you're creating/contributing, good for you (and fsck the haters). If you are one of the haters, fsck right off. If you're "just offering unsolicited critiques" you're probably the worst of them all...

Finally saw my first cyber truck in person yesterday and hand to heaven it was on the shoulder of US 50 with its emergency flashers on. In other words, I saw the cyber truck in its natural habitat: waiting for a tow.

Every day proves Thaddeus Stevens right: there should've been big Nuremberg-style public trials of leading Confederates, accompanied by seizures of the assets of all pro-Confederate large landowners and businessmen, which should then have been distributed to freed slaves as compensation.

Vulnerability in CocoaPods initially caused by a change in how the package manager works leads to the potential for anyone to claim ownership of orphaned packages with no registered maintainer (and for fun, an RCE vuln on the CocoaPods server).

There are obviously too many people who have no idea what it costs to jail someone. Imagine if we just spent that money on housing assistance instead? Don't like"handouts?" Who cares, this is just basic economics.

I get that some people are single issue voters. I have been before too. But when a vote for your pet issue is a vote for fascism (and be VERY clear, that's what it is), I can understand your decision to vote like you do - I just can't respect you for it.

When I saw Biden at a fundraiser early this month, he sounded tired and a bit feeble, particularly contrasted with Obama talking right next to him. But the choice between enfeebled and a narcissistic sociopath surrounded by younger narcissistic sociopaths is not even a little difficult.

After five years and over 100 violations, Tesla's Fremont factory has been ordered to abate illegal pollution by the local regulator!

I've been reporting about this since 2019, a story nobody else wanted to touch, and was beginning to believe nothing would ever happen!

It is journalistic malpractice to report "Musk says" or "Altman says" without also including background on their track records for their predictions. Those predictions look a lot different in context.

I'm working on debugging something in VScode and have a version of python installed in C:\program files. Does anyone have a known working method for fixing the fact that VScode is too stupid to know there's a space in a filename? It's 2024, I thought "unquoted paths" were long since gone...

If the cop recognized Timberlake and didn't tell him "you can cry me a river if you expect special treatment," then I'd have an issue with how this was handled. Until then, thanks for doing your job and protecting the public.

Does anyone know if the Copilot+ PC's with 32GB RAM shipped? Despite a preorder saying June 19th, @HP now says hopefully September. I'm trying to figure out if they screwed me to make room for enterprise orders or nobody has the Snapdragon Elite boards with 32GB of RAM yet.

This fantastic article detailing the OceanGate sub implosion shows there are so many parallels to modern software engineering. Experts consulted say "you can't do it that way safely" and then the developer says "watch me" to meet a deadline.
