New qualifier (disqualifier) for banks: if they use Jack Henry for any services- Nope.
What utter shite.

That's a lot of fucking words to not say a damned thing.

@g I hated Discord before it was cool #hipster

@josephcox I've shared a lot of your work with local authorities, hoping to head off a Flock deployment. If that fails I'll have to <<redacted>>.

New: the oversight body for DHS is investigating agencies', including ICE's, use of surveillance tech/data for immigration enforcement. Comes directly after our reporting on multiple tools and pressure from lawmakers

@nuintari @itisiboller I have a full set of teeth.
Not saying whose.

@deepthoughts10 yup.

I am more than a little alarmed at how utterly dependent I’m seeing business people, and IIT people specifically, becoming on LLMs for their work. And not in a “let’s design a cute avatar” kind of way.

Tattoo is of a watch that says "TIME FOR MALORT"

The things you see on the back roads of Appalachia.
40s (maybe?) Unimog.
No, I did not explore or inquire, because *back roads of Appalachia*.

This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

She's 16. It's not like she's four. And we have now really shifted on how we think about that, I think, in a good way. Right. Right. I do not think that 50 year old men should be having sex with 16 year old girls.
But I think that you're not going to find the evidence of a pedophile ring where he is actively trafficking these girls because until Me Too... It's not like a pedophile, right? There are 16-year-old girls around who are vulnerable and can be exploited, but not in this, like,
there is a mastermind who is going on the dark web and selling these girls to you. They're just around, and they're close enough to the age of consent that a lot of people probably felt like it was okay to hit on them.

@AlSweigart I need to revisit it. Such a masterpiece.

The CIA is up to something and Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who is the longest serving member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, doesn’t like it but can’t tell us about it.

@Dr_Bombay he's not happy unless he's not happy

Do you need help digging that hole in the sand into which you bury your head?

@Dr_Bombay at least he has a good reason now

@simonzerafa I did not
