Do the DOJ even have a red-yarn budget?

It's the marketing hypertrain in action. The only real advantages Tesla ever had were their motors (the one designed by the 2 real Tesla founders) and their deal with Panasonic, which allowed them to manufacture batteries in house, bringing down the cost. The car itself was just a plastic shell for the two.

That time has now come and gone. All the other auto companies make competing, if not better motors, and all the other battery companies are also making "tabless" batteries. BMW is even rocking true solid-state batteries in some of their newer cars.

Oh, and the dumpster fire that they call "self-driving". Can't forget about that.

He's very well spoken too, just has a natural authority in his voice and never fumbles over words. In fact, he was supposed to teach one of those microchipped monkeys Quantum Physics. But he's been so busy lately, that'll have to be one of his later Gifts to Humanity.

I remember people on IRC doing something similar to Cloudflare years back. Using a malformed HTTP header to get a server's real host IP. It didn't give you admin panel access or anything like this does, but you could deanonymize sites.

And to sit on this for 6 years?! I don't even know what to say about that...

Okay, now we're into the actual Nazi shit. This is so fucked.

Just gonna add this too...

The Fourteenth Amendment does not provide any procedure for revocation of United States citizenship. The Supreme Court in Afroyim v. Rusk held that loss of 14th-Amendment-based U.S. citizenship is possible only under the following circumstances:

  1. Fraud in the naturalization process. Technically this is not loss of citizenship, but rather a voiding of the purported naturalization and a declaration that the immigrant never was a U.S. citizen.
  2. Voluntary relinquishment of citizenship. This may be accomplished either through renunciation procedures specially established by the State Department or through other actions (e.g., treason) that demonstrate an intention to give up U.S. citizenship. Such an act of expatriation must be accompanied by an intent to terminate United States citizenship.

as it is a government funded report and you have to release it on request.

Do they though? The Trump administration isn't exactly known for obeying the law. They'll probably spout some nonsense about "other taxpayers bearing the cost of the paper" or something.

That's true, ICE & Co. are also all over Mexico right now because of the cartels. The whole border lock down and immigrant round-up thing is only half of their current force. And one of the big things they've been doing down there is monitoring/tapping their communication networks.

So yeah, never mind, probably not a good idea. If it was just for torrenting or something it's probably fine, but beyond that I wouldn't push it.

I'm honestly hoping for a repeat. Hopefully Microsoft goes down this time too, since they're heavily into AI. Twitter, Meta, Google and Amazon too. It's really just the worst of the worst.

It's more about the latency since it's right over the border (<30ms). It's also a full 10Gbps so I can let family/friends use it and don't have to worry if a few of them are pulling the full 1Gbps from home connection. Doubt I'm gonna be able to match both of those with a Chinese VPS :/

Honestly looking at Mexican datacenters right now. Some are basically the same distance, just in the opposite direction lol

Just make sure someone instantly takes it (work as a group, so you all know exactly who's grabbing it). Then give them the basket right back. They'll figure it out after the 2-3 run that they need to stop fucking around and get back to their other tables.

I've actually asked and they'll do exactly that. It's apparently policy for them not to ask and to only stop when you tell them. Even if they have those prefilled, hand-crank shredders they use now, they'll just calmly set it down and pickup another, then go back to shredding.

I've been so tempted ever since, every time I'm dragged back there by family/friends/etc. Just to see the looks on their faces.
