Will Chrome go the way of Internet Explorer 6?

Microsoft killed off all competition. Then the only improvements were Microsoft proprietary.

The way to fix it is Congress critters can't run for reelection if the budget has a deficit.

balance budget amendment that also mandates a clean budget every year term limits push services off to the states. Not everything is a federal responsibility.

Military spending is #3 on the list.

Entitlements are far and away the largest expenditure.

The President doesn't have a line item veto, unfortunately.

ICE will say their mandate in this context is to ensure that non-US citizens are not on state voter rolls.

ICE knows illegals are less inclined to register to vote knowing that ICE monitors voter rolls.

Will they decertify previously certified PQC-free products?

Please read the comments in the Reason article. Autumn Billings has a track record of distorting the facts.

"Last Independence Day, several protesters were arrested following a demonstration that turned violent outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Prairieland Detention Center."

This was not a spontaneous act. The Antifa folks set up a deadly ambush of federal officials.

The US taxpayer is a not a slush fund for global healthcare.

We are already $39T+ in debt. Where does it end?

"An investigation into the incident found the stolen information ranged from names, phone numbers, addresses and dates of birth to the last four digits of Social Security numbers and tax IDs."

Why should any company have your SSN or tax ID unless explicitly required by law? A credit check is one thing, but afterward they must delete the entire SSN and the credit report — as if they never possessed it.

Businesses required to keep it for tax/financial reporting (e.g., banks) should be banned from using it for any verification or identification purposes.

If both parties MAXXED OUT on gerrymandering ... https://x.com/BenHart_Freedom/status/2050337190996000963

Can you keep an eye on government planes that would be airborned if the SHTF?

E-4Bs, E-6s, VC-25As, C-32A, etc plus mass helo flights exiting DC.

Topic reminds me of the movie Miracle Mile.

The income tax needs to be replaced with a consumption tax. The income tax is a terrible system for an internet based economy.

To ensure that the consumption tax doesn't hit the poor too hard the govt can determine how much someone at the poverty line would pay, on average, in monthly taxes ie$200. The govt then deposits $200 monthly in to every US citizen's USG debit card.

Recent Florida case prohibits cash-register justice tickets like this, ticketing vehicle owner and not the driver.

Murphy is the typical ignorant politician. Iran has been chanting Death to America since 1979 and was on the verge of getting a nuke.

9/11 happened because we failed to act when we had the chance to take out UBL in the 90's. Trump is not waiting for us to get nuked. His actions are simple self-defense by putting the Persians back in charge in Iran. So oil prices go up for a month, big deal.

The world will be FAR safer when that terrorist regime is gone.

Not enough opportunity to grift off the taxpayers. Private enterprise will focus on faster, cheaper, better while the government and its contractors focus on keeping the gravy training running.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VinCGmdj-jQ He's a lawyer and describes it in excellent detail.

One side issues the judge brought up is that no points go on the driver's record with a red light camera offense. The entire point of the points system is to get bad drivers off the road. But people can have numerous red light infractions and still keep their license.

I would bet big bucks that the people not on SNAP are healthier than those on it.

SNAP is supposed to be about nutrition.

The law's definition of harm is massively subjective. It will have judges who think words are violence or make the process the punishment.

This is a law that will be used to censor.

Like a prior SCOTUS did with Brown v Board of Education, which was a very good overturning of precedent?

SCOTUS has been liberal since the FDR days. The pendulum has now swung in the opposite direction.

The current SCOTUS is reducing the power of the administrative state and the unelected bureaucrats.

I want a browser to prioritize speed, standards, stability and security.

All other features should come via add-ons.

Plus, if I want an AI in my browser I don't want it locked to Mozilla's AI.

Maybe this? https://www.compactmag.com/article/the-great-feminization/

Apple and F1 reach 5-year media deal, bringing all races to Apple TV streaming in the U.S. Starting in 2026 all F1 events will be exclusively on Apple TV.

Property taxes have no place in a free society. That kind of tax is also known as rent payments. If you stop paying the tax the REAL owner of the property evicts you from the property.

The solution is to replace the property tax with a sales tax.

To ensure that the sales tax doesn't hit the poor too hard the state can determine how much someone at the poverty line pays on average in sales taxes every month ie $200. The state then sends a check for $200 to every state resident every month.

Alien is the statutory term. If you don't like it get the law changed.

"And why does it mention the right within the context of a "well regulated militia"?"

It doesn't, anymore than the freedom of speech is only in the context of one of the other rights mentioned in the 1st amendment.

"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Bloomberg article is terrible. Why is HUD moving?

From foxnews: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hud-becomes-first-major-cab...

"The Robert C. Weaver Building is a vacant and run-down monument to waste with half a billion dollars in overdue maintenance," Ernst said, calling it a "cross between a ghost town and a horror show."

Investments to-date in the Weaver building totaled $90 million over the past 15 years, including plaza, roof and façade repairs.

Mold and asbestos containment have plagued the building, which also has only about half of its elevators in working operation.

I live in NOVA. The economies around here are addicted to government spending. As a federal taxpayer I think they should move many federal agencies to other states. USDA to KC was a start. Agriculture to Iowa, DOEnergy to Texas, NASA to Florida, Interior to Colorado for starters

The DC area doesn't have a right to these overpaid jobs.

How hard would it be for them(company) to use the Signal app for 2FA?

On March 25, CIA Director John Ratcliffe told the Senate Intelligence Committee that when he became director, he was given a phone with Signal pre-loaded. He was briefed that Signal was “permissible” for work use, and “That is a practice that preceded the current administration to the Biden administration.”

Does anyone think Deepseek or other non-western AIs will respect copyright?

This is going to make Deepseek and its kin much more valuable.

Good. Hand the Uber part of the mission to SpaceX

It will get done in half the time at half the price.
