  • Texas House introduces bill to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve

    Jump

  • I mean it's almost certain the value of the dollar is going to tank and that the US is hit with at least a recession if not another depression if Donvict does even half the things he's said he will, but banking a bunch of bitcoin isn't going to help with that. Anything that tanks the dollar will likely tank the value of bitcoin as well. This reads more like a) idiots that don't understand bitcoin and b) an attempt to pump the price up so some of the more heavily invested techbros can exit the market before it tanks.

    If they actually wanted to form a strategic reserve they should have picked something with inherent value like buying a bunch of lithium, Iridium, or just plain old gold (which is honestly one of the least valuable metals as it has very few actual uses outside of acting as a corrosion barrier).

  • Progressive lawmakers say the reaction to the UHC CEO killing is a 'wake-up call'

    Jump

  • Yep. I'll care when the politicians actually do something besides make speeches. Not that I'm expecting anything at all from the Democrats, they're too busy trying to decide which Republican policy they want to water down and implement next.

  • Trump surgeon general pick involved in gun accident aged 13 that killed her father

    Jump

  • The P320 is the most recent one that's had this issue. Analysis seems to suggest it's a combination of a bad design and worse manufacturing. In particular the manufacturing quality of the sear has been pointed to as a possible source of issues. Since it looks like a manufacturing defect is a significant contributor many of them may be perfectly fine but it's hard to tell without doing a thorough teardown and inspection by someone trained to know exactly what they're looking for.

  • Badly designed ones. Sig Saur rather infamously has had a ton of problems with guns firing when dropped or in a few instances when bumped while still in a holster.

    Most guns should not be capable of going off when dropped or hit, there should be various safety features in place to prevent that.

  • In a truly ironic twist the Donvict is aiming to get rid of the EPA and Clean Air Act.

  • "Ousted" Intel CEO Steps In To Defend The Firm's 18A Process, Says Yield Rate % Isn't The Right Metric To Measure Semiconductor Progress

  • Only exception would be if they can produce those wafers at 1/10th of the previous cost, but I highly doubt that's the case.

  • Putin’s Pals Say Tucker Carlson Is Acting as a Secret Back-Channel to Trump

    Jump

  • Secret?

    Also I'm surprised they're even bothering with the pretense that Trump isn't Putin's bitch.

  • That was my plan until MS installed copilot on my system without asking. A month later I installed Linux and haven't looked back. I did dual boot just in case I needed it, but I actually haven't had to boot into windows for the last 4 months. It's gone so well I'm currently planning to do the same to my wife's computer in a few months when I give it its hardware refresh.

  • That's a fair criticism of Biden, but Biden wasn't being criticized by that comment, rather the media coverage was. The media has consistently shrugged their shoulders and acted like nothing was wrong as Trump time and time again utterly violates both conventions and laws, but the moment anyone not in the MAGA-sphere puts even a toe out of line it's treated as a huge scandal. Should Joe have pardoned Hunter? No it undermines the entire message of nobody is above the law, but at the same time it's such a trivial thing in the face of the absolute and complete disregard of both morals and laws shown by Trump and his team daily.

    In the face of such blatant double standards the media's rush to clutch their pearls in this case just rings as exceptionally hollow.

  • Goodbye, Rust. I wish you success but I'm back to C++ (sorry, it is a rant)

    Jump

  • What was claimed is that you can't get a Rust job which implies there are no Rust jobs, so it's important to call out the distinction. This was further implied by the tone of the article title which implied that the author was leaving Rust for good. While the contents of the article was more nuanced the title counts for a lot and has to be taken into consideration.

    On the whole cryptocurrencies/blockchain jobs thing I'm not even sure I'd consider those real jobs. The overwhelming majority of those are startups that pay in equity and I expect nearly 100% of them to fail making that "equity" utterly worthless. I'd only consider positions in established companies paying actual salaries as real jobs.

    Jump

  • Perhaps but it's also a subtle but important distinction between "there are no Rust jobs" and "there are no open Rust jobs". The former implies it's a dead end skill set while the latter implies potential openings in the future. It may just be one of those things where you need to keep your ears open for openings and jump on one when you see it. Personally I think Rust is just getting started and there will be a ton of job opening's, just maybe not for a little while longer.

    Jump

  • That's my guess. All the openings are being filled internally and never even make it to public listings.

    Kamala Harris outperformed Joe Biden in 4/7 swing states. Trump just ran up the numbers more.

  • Unless something has gone very wrong each election will be the most in American history. It's for the same reason slight positive inflation is desirable, the population is always increasing. The important metric isn't absolute count of votes, but the percentage of votes.

  • Reading the comments it seems like there may be a bunch of Rust jobs, they're just not advertised as much and many of them are filled by senior people with expertise in other areas and languages. In particular it seems like a lot of jobs at Amazon in the AWS department use it heavily. It might simply be too new to really see heavy recruiting for new hires yet. In another decade as teams expand and senior people move to other positions or retire we might see a sudden surge in companies looking for Rust devs.

  • Malware can turn off webcam LED and record video, demonstrated on ThinkPad X230

  • I believe Framework has their webcam LED setup like this. At a minimum the physical switch cuts power to the whole webcam assembly.

  • Smart gadgets’ failure to commit to software support could be illegal, FTC warns

  • Not that it will matter, the orange moron is going to do everything he can to gut the FTC. Unless they're going to do something in the next month they might as well just start wrapping things up now.

  • Trump pledges tariffs on Canada and Mexico, more on China too

  • Got a fucking great deal on my current house following the sub prime fiasco and I was planning on upgrading soon. Guess I'll have plenty of choices to pick from soon.
