I am no fan of Trump but in order to get the subpoena and warrants, their evidence had to go before a Federal Judge. The administrations track record there is not leaning positive.

Therefore, there is at least some question as to her residency/citizenship validity.

Re:The Death of the Creator Middle Class on Tuesday July 14, 2026 @10:32AM (#48907544)
I think there is a flaw in thinking that "Creators" have some intrinsic value. The reason the middle gets pushed out is correct in this article but it is missing an important point: there are too many creators.

That is why the top gets heavier and the bottom spreads out.

Transparent Data Encryption offers encryption at the file level and solves the problem of protecting data at rest. The encryption is transparent for users allowing them to access and manipulate the data and not to worry about the encryption process. The extension supports a keyring file and external Key Management Systems (KMS) through a Global Key Provider interface.
Re:Plruby, Procedures for PostgreSQL in Ruby on Monday July 06, 2026 @12:54PM (#48807311)
PL/Ruby is a procedural-language handler that lets you write database functions in Ruby, stored and executed inside PostgreSQL. You get the expressiveness of Ruby and its standard library with the full power of a native PostgreSQL function: plain functions, set-returning functions, triggers, event triggers, and procedures with transaction control.

Entirely updated for modern PHP and PostgreSQL. It supports all features of pl/perl and pl/tcl.
I am afraid you don't understand Postgres very well.
Hopefully they will start sponsoring PGRX now that they are so publicly using it.
