@LorraineEvanoff @iGardon 😂 the CA Post is a joke. He's "leading" by 100k votes with ~3.7M still to be counted, majority of which are vote-by-mail which always go hard left.

@thecybersecguru @oracles @cyb3rops Damn, so no word from Meta about restoring accounts taken over through this mechanism? Seems like it would be easy for them to identify and reverse...

[Shaun Cooley @shauncooley]

@MartinShkreli 😂 might as well also claim the 6,331 metric tons of gold at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as "lost property".

Neither has any standing...

A guy handed the NYPD a USB stick with a list of Bitcoin addresses and is asking a court to give him $286 billion

That's the actual lawsuit

Here's why it fails

He claims he'll have 100TW up there. 100TW of solar power requires panels that would cover the entire state of OREGON... And then you have to deal with all those times they're not exposed to sun... So, now we're launching tons of heavy batteries too?

Additionally, GPUs these days are obsolete in ~18 months, and that doesn't account for radiation destroying silicon ... Unless they're also planning to launch tons of rad hardening.

Racking/stacking/replacing equipment in a data center is a full time job. Pallets of replacement equipment arrive every day. EVERY DAY. Is there a weekly Hubble repair style mission planned for this maintenance?

... oh, and cooling ... in a vacuum ... where there is nothing for the heat to transfer to.

There are far fewer engineering challenges simply building a micro reactor next to every terrestrial data center.

@shai_machnes @blockchainchick Anyone that thinks space data centers will be a thing has clearly never worked anywhere near a real data center and has no clue about space.

Space launch+ Starlink is enough to justify most of the valuation. Adding 26.5T in enterprise apps jumps the shark.

@gabriel_zucman "Prop 13 was the opening salvo in Ronald Reagan’s antitax revolution" - two seconds of research would have told you that your opening zinger was completely wrong. Prop 13 was a reaction to property prices tripling in the 70s and people losing their homes.

@gabriel_zucman "pay just x.x% of their wealth in California income tax" ... This is such a disingenuous phrase you use multiple times. It doesn't matter what the % is, because NOBODY in the US pays a tax on their wealth, and the operative word is right there in your sentence: INCOME tax.

[Shaun Cooley @shauncooley]

@RBReich Word trickery by Bezos. He said "the top 1% of all taxpayers" not the "earners" or "rich" or "wealthy". If those percentiles are based on tax paid, that stat simply means the the top 1% of TAXPAYERS pay 66x the avg TAXPAYER. An absolutely meaningless multiple for a billionaire.

@dok2001 Full DMARC/SPF/DKIM management. Happy to forward the email thread with Shalabh from 2024...

@jessenowlin @Ubiquiti Would make sense if AoIP/PoE... Not sure I understand a 2-wire speaker on their lineup.

@ReclaimTheNetHQ GPU prices are about to go even crazier as everyone builds home AI rigs 😂

@PylonPenwortham @maddenifico His colostomy bag probably spilled in the shuffle

Two different Secret Service teams. They're trained to only focus on their protectee. One team had a clear path out and a healthy and able protectee. The other had an overweight invalid that was easier to throw to the ground while they established an exit route and brought in additional protection for his inevitable SLOW exit ... And then he STILL fell when they went to move him.

[Shaun Cooley @shauncooley]

Yeah, this is not at all true. Windows has a layered UI isolation model that goes Session > Window Station > Desktop > Windows/menus/etc. The local station is WinSta0, and inside that the Default desktop is where you normally work. Winlogon desktop is the lock screen. There is also a secure/UAC desktop. Privileged apps can create additional desktops, and switch to them. Virtual desktops are completely different (like the win11 Ctrl+🪟+left/right arrow virtual desktops).

Only one desktop is visible and can receive input at a time, the switch is not just "draw another full screen rectangle".

Winlogon.exe is a privileged system process and is the only one with access to the Winlogon desktop, which is the active desktop for logon, lock, unlock, Ctrl+alt+del secure attention, and screen saver/security transitions. It also creates the user shell after logon.

Check the WinAPI for: CreateWindowStation, OpenWindowStation, SetPeocessWindowStation, EnumWindowStation, CresteDesktop, OpenDesktop, SwitchDesktop, EnumDesktops, … for pretty detailed explanations.

This has been the case since NT 3.x (90s), with major hardening in Vista ('06), and some stabilization work in Win7 ('09). Shatter attacks and lock-screen bypass issues haven't really been a thing on windows for ~20 years.

@arstechnica 10 minutes after they go live:
all but one are broken even though the app says 5/6 available. The one working charger has a Chevy Bolt connected that is only pulling 8kW, and will be there for 6 hours.

@GovPressOffice @CAgovernor @JenSiebelNewsom Might be helpful to actually tell us what the 3 new parks are...

Feather River (Yuba County)
San Joaquin River Parkway (Fresno/Madera)
Dust Bowl Camp (Bakersfield)
