"Did he get an easy deal? Did he buy himself a light sentence? Well, yes, probably, compared to what you or I would get, but he did get locked up," Trivers said. He said he got about $40,000 from Epstein to study the relationship between knee symmetry and sprinting ability.

Trivers also said he believes girls mature earlier than in the past. "By the time they're 14 or 15, they're like grown women were 60 years ago, so I don't see these acts as so heinous," he said.'

More like the past 200 years. America have never been the "good guys", and it is only Americans who seem to think they ever were.

A day later my parents called me very stressed out about a popup on my mother’s iPhone saying she had been hacked. I asked them to take a screenshot, and again it was a website that was styled to look like a modal on top of a iOS Settings app page. With the new ui this was extremely effective, as the page title is just a tiny thing down the bottom in scrolled state.

I don’t know what is going on, but I’d assume the problem is AI moderation.

I threw a party (illegal, on the beach, with great music) so successful the police just provided security at the parking lot entrance 1km away because they didn’t want > 400 wasted people roaming the affluent neighbourhood if shut down. Oh there were also nudists at the beach when we were ferrying in our gear at sunset who stayed for the whole thing and ended up on the dancefloor in their birthday suits at 2am.

I recently updated a very carefully managed (over many years) local Apple Music library to sync with cloud Apple Music. One funny (captive laughter) side effect was performance issues I had long since learned to live with just disappeared. For some insane reason running a completely local library is much, much laggier than one that is constantly syncing with the cloud.

The real fun, however, was when I recently created a smart playlist and noticed it was missing tracks that obviously should have been matched. I luckily found an older smart playlist with the same rule and lo and behold this one contained the tracks that were missing. So two smart playlists, exact same single rule (equating to "not Favourited"), with > 1000 difference in total tracks.

This is stressing me out. How can I trust any of my smart playlists anymore? Is my library corrupt, or is it just a bug? Who knows, and who knows when or if it will ever be fixed. I can list numerous other bugs with playlists in the macOS Apple Music app that have existed across 2 or more previous major releases.

I occasionally use the Unifi Wifiman app to quickly test my network, even though I don’t use Unifi gear.

One reason I like it is as soon as you open the app you see a bunch of latency metrics for various domains.

X is one of the default test domains. I don’t know when this happened but x.com does not seem to be running anycast in Australia anymore, I get 110ms latency to x (for many this would be 130 to 160 or higher, my provider uses premium transit). A traceroute shows the server I am hitting is in Japan.

Why? This is highly irregular, I can’t imagine any other major website not having a POP in Australia.

Skimming OiG audit reports, they appear comprehensive and detailed. How has the government failed in auditing if these audits exist?

Where is the 20 years of failure to audit and track spending you mentioned? I’m not sure what you expect me to google.

Provide proof of this claim please.
