Feel free to complain about the costs to taxpayers of having an unscheduled election, but remember what triggered it. Farage resigned to prevent more lawfare against him. His constituency will re-elect him.
The 5 million gift from friends was unrelated to his political campaign, and did not need to be declared. The committee is desperate to keep Farage from becoming PM. We saw the same sort of lawfare used against Trump during the 2024 election. Also, with Le Pen in France.
What's most interesting is that the "joke" candidate was put forth by the other parties, because they know they cannot win a fair election against Farage in his district. They're hoping for another "Boaty McBoatface" outcome here, but their strategy will fail.
I expect the 92% number to rise as the number of anti-AI scraping measures and CAPTCHAs that are not compatible with assistive technologies continues to rise.
I have the same issue in my 2020 AMG. With lane assit on, the way it detects that your hands are on the steering wheel is by sensing your inputs to counter its inputs to the steering wheel position. It even seems to deliberately steer you off the center of the lane to see if you react.
That is a seriously broken control system. It should be keeping you in the center of the lane and not make you fight against the car.
I read the article, and I've read about these cases over the past few years. Many of the emission control components degrade engine performance, decrease gas mileage, and decrease reliability. The EPA kept moving the goalposts and went beyond the limits of practicality. Congress did not set the limits, so the EPA was basically making it a federal crime to circumvent their rules (not laws). Who do you turn to when the vehicle for which you've paid upwards of $100k doesn't work right, and cannot be made to work right as designed?
So the author probably could have migrated if he hadn't used a Google Fi phone number for 2FA. Some banks and businesses (such as Uber) will detect a Google Fi or Google Voice number and not let you use them. Other businesses don't do the detection, but the 2FA texts will never arrive. Like the author, I've got some accounts that I was able to set up for 2FA using a Google account, but 2FA no longer works on them.
Free housing, free food, free health care, and free income are also wildly popular with the US adult population. The problem is that those things are not really "free" because somebody else needs to pay for them.
You may think Malone is a crank, and I will not disagree with you.
The page I linked is a repository that Malone set up for peer-reviewed papers describing MRNA side effects.
Those papers are not authored by Malone, and there are presently over 700 of them on the site.
I believe he did this because authors of those and similar papers have faced political backlash for their scientific contributions. For some reason, many world governments have censored, and advocated censorship of content such as this, and similar content that questions things such as the CoViD-19 point of origin, which for years has been riddled with misinformation.
So you can go ahead an claim that more than 700 peer reviewed papers were all authored by cranks, but my purpose was to point out that the parent article's claims of absolute "safety, effectiveness, and promise" are not unanimously accepted.
Includes key 2020 quote from Canary about the "myth" of cancel culture:
“As much as people on the right whine about how they’re somehow being ‘persecuted’ or ‘silenced’ by ‘political correctness’, it [cancel culture] is simply not in any respect a threat to freedom of speech. The concept of freedom of speech is about preventing the government from interfering in what can be published and put into the public sphere… it’s high time that we call out the purveyors of the empty ‘cancel culture’ narrative for the dishonest and self-interested hypocrites that they are,”
The author had a perfect opportunity to decimate the whole concept of using LLMs as "artificial intelligence", but he shifts gears in the final six paragraphs and doesn't move in for the kill.
It all sounds great, but unfortunately human nature is that money attracts corruption, so how could a $2T injection be managed in a way that ensures everything is square, without adding significant overhead to the spending?
Governments are often just as bad at this as private entities are.
All of my OS-9 development was done on the 68k port. Years before that (mid 1980's), I did a lot of bare metal MC6809 embedded development, but I never did any OS-9 stuff on 6809.
Was it against the law for them to ASK that she remove her post? In essence, it was a request, coupled with an unrelated statement about the illegality of interfering with federal officers. Yes, it was an attempt to intimidate her, but she recognized it for what it was and did not cave in.
Doxxing has many forms, and I agree that she did nothing wrong by citing the news source with the officers name, and offering her opinion. They did not detain or arrest her, and she agreed, and even invited them to speak with her.
