Re:FBI arrests Wisconsin judge on charges of obstructing immigrant arrest
on Friday April 25, 2025 @11:38AM (#43794743)
This seems lite on facts. Even if I wanted to arrest a sitting judge, it would have to be an act of gross malfeasance to motivate me to even consider arrest. The only thing I can think of… Is, if the judge swore under oath, affidavit, or something like that, that she did not do something when in fact that she did. But even then…
If Patel does not come back with some thing on that level or better, then this was a horrible farce.
Re:Privacy folks – what's your take on using LLMs at work?

I asked an LLM if it would keep my data private and it said absolutely. It wouldn't lie to me would it?

I think corporate responses to most things like this is to deny and avoid until forced to get involved. It should not take WaPo getting involved but it seems to be the norm for big tech companies.

I have been to 4chan maybe 4 times in my life. The first was like ok.. Then I visited /b and LOL'd for a couple of hours. Then it just got redundant and depressing. It really is the arsehole of the internet, but some people seem to find it useful.

Really don't like this. It's smacks of corruption. I don't really care for Le Pen, she's not a good candidate, but the court should not be allowed to suspend someone from running for office. That's the voters job.
Re:Aptera's First Solar Road Trip. 300 Miles, One Charge

I have always adored Aptera, but BYD and Tesla will always eat their lunch. I've been out to the factory in San Diego and driven Luna. It was awesome, but sadly I just don't think it will get funding. The government REALLY screwed them over, not once, but twice with the vehicle loan program. Really wonderful people and an amazing car.

Well, Bill Bryson wrote about it in his book down under. Also, when I was in Sydney last September, I asked the tour guide about it, and she confirmed that it was true. He never got to see his creation because he was turned away at the border.

Fun fact: The designer of the Sydney Opera House was turned away at the border when he came to see it, because he had an inordinate amount of pornographic material with him. He never got to see his creation in person.

Given the number of incidents reported we can draw two assumptions: 1) They were not looking or 2) They were but it was not media reported as they are now.
If one were honestly pessimistic they might say that this is always done, but only due to politics is it being reported.

I had a lawn and it cost money to maintain but ..I liked it. I liked the space it gave my kids to play, for me to play, and I liked the dark green grass; the area got lots of rain. The lush green is pleasing to the eye but I do agree that we should be as environmentally concious about it as we can in avoiding pesticides and other harmful chemicals
