Just remember, urgency is a secondary consideration, safety is the first consideration. That said, success to all involved!

I ask for evidence from the people who claim to have evidence.

I think he was doing this contracting throughout the Biden term.

And when I do software development contracting with larger organizations it doesn't happen either. When I've seen cash (or crypto) it's been for small orgs, sole proprietorships or a two person partnership. The first time I got paid in crypto I actually checked with my bank's branch manager to see if money coming from a crypto exchange is going to be an issue for the bank or the feds. He had no idea. A day later he called and said it no problem, at most someone might as what sort of work was the payment for if its sufficiently large. The cash payment I mentioned previously, the auto repair shop, he handed me an envelope in his office at the auto repair shop. I declared it on my taxes like I did with the crypto proceeds. No one ever asked me about either. Weird but it happens.

Then you do not know much. Politicians of all types love corruption.

Actually that NJ Senator was known to be corrupt for decades and everyone in the party looked the other way, until they couldn't anymore.

Deals with cash and crypto payments have contracts too.

Again, I read what you wrote and it was flawed. And I've explained that.

Clearly you are unfamiliar with the topic, you have misinterpreted "part of". Immigration judges are part of due process as in not everything requires a judge and jury, that sometimes due process is an administrative process. Deportation is such an administrative process.

Uh, no, is "legal" a typo? What I stated was the around 70% detained had either criminal warrant or conviction (domestic or foreign), a removal order, a national security order (ex from Iran), etc.

A higher judge can overrule them, but that is exceptionally rare. Again, the system has been setup to handle the normal common situations at an administrative level.

No, I am pointing out that insiders are saying that the exceptionally long wait times are a result of the huge increase in claims from the Biden open border era, most of which are "fake".

Tokyo is about jurisdiction regarding crimes committed aboard an aircraft. Not about a judge having operational control of civilian aircraft in international airspace. The federal guards on board and the detainees were passengers, not aircrew.

You mean by people facing a wilderness and a lack of infrastructure, roads, ports of entry, territories not states, etc. That is not the conditions today, even the US Mexico border. But yeah, ports of entry became a thing once we had mass immigration.

Again, the port of entry system evolved because the real world logistics changed. Non-frontier, mass immigration.

Nope. The issue is not with the legal immigrants. Trump often talks about the doors in that wall that so offends you.

Next, Cows with guns

If FTTP were outrageously expensive small providers all over the world would not be able to deploy it. Operational cost savings pay for themselves within a few years and ultimately if you want to offer competitive service you have no choice in the matter.

Comcast is a perfect example of an incumbent sitting on its ass while a rinky dink ISPs nobody has even heard of does a phased deployment throughout town permanently eroding their customer base.

I think it would be more accurate described as adaptive camouflage. Using camera shots of your immediate surrounding to decide between woodland, desert, urban, night, snow, etc patterns. The perfect mimicry needed for "invisibility" is a bit too difficult, assumes a single viewing angle. its just not as useful as hollywood suggests. Motion gives you away, and a viewer who is moving and seeing you from different angles can see something a little bit like "warping". Not trying to perfectly mimic one background and just having a pattern that blends would be more effective.

There are dumb TVs still being made.

That you don't even know that shows you are not a serious customer for such a product.

You can just click "Skip" when it asks you to connect to the Internet.

You can stop it, but most people can't or won't.

They don't need to block 100% of debloating.

99.9% is good enough.

The only ads I see are for video content like new movies or TV shows, and I don't mind those.

Its a start. An easier first step. And the security concerns are why it won't be ending with just final assembly and testing. The US assembly location creates a convenient centralized place to verify firmware is unaltered.

Americans can spend their money to improve CCP controlled China, or they can spend their money to improve the USA. Small easy steps are just first steps, just as moving manufacturing overseas started with small easy steps.

Its a start. An easier first step. And the concerns you raise are why it won't be ending with just final assembly and testing. The US assembly location creates a convenient centralized place to verify firmware is unaltered.

PG&E in California incentivizes me to reduce my power consumption from 2 to 7 pm, and gives me cheap off-peak electricity from 2 to 4 am, when I charge my EV.

I've been on this program for 11 years. It works well for me.

Soon? Only if you reverse the flow of time.

I'm still using a 40" 1080p monitor I bought for $50 in 2011. It's the only TV in the house and we just use it for things mostly made before 2005.

The new stuff isn't worth the time.

Well, it would be interesting to hear why you disagree with anarchy so profoundly.

My basic principal is that "illegitimate hierarchies are bad." In particular, having a hierarchy without consent is bad (ie, no taxation without representation sort of thing).

I would like to say I have a full system for how a very good anarchy system should look, but I fully admit it's not an easy problem. So instead I focus on general principals, and trying to find incremental changes that will improve things with high probability.

Realistically, modern democracies are already a massive improvement on the situation in most countries 300 year ago, with a much weaker hierarchy. Since a full revolution carries significant risk, it's better to make incremental improvements one at a time (unless the problems in the current system are severe). But simplistic "left-right" thinking and political parties are both a net negative, as they are both a method employed by bullies to to increase their power over others. So I feel confident getting rid of them would be an improvement (although I do admit there are some benefits to parties, like recruiting candidates to smaller, less important offices or recruiting election observers. So we need to be aware of the positive and the negative).
