Still then a problem as a Bible studies. Just vague expression of their belief without citing the Bible.

For the longest time the trickiest part was the LEDs and power buttons

Nah, AI code gen bugs are weird. As a person used to doing human review even from wildly incompetent people, AI messes up things that my mind never even thought needed to be double checked.

Well, the document is real, so the question would shift to of it could be a false allegation. I suppose for each document we can’t know, so all we can do is keep in mind that any one document could possibly be a false allegation. If someone can connect this to other documents, that could help. Particularly connecting it to the claimed direct agent contact or followups.

On the one hand, it seems believable, Trump is a trash human known specifically for creepy regard for sexiness of underage girls. So undeniable that the reality of the Epstein release induced some die hard maga to pivot to a “technically not a pedophile if they started their period” bullshit. Openly ogling his own teenage daughter, peeping on underage beauty pageants, and after a casual interaction with a young girl the very first words out of his mouth were about when he could start dating her…

On the other I suppose we have to acknowledge that this was a tip submitted to the FBI website at the height of his re election campaign right when the death of Epstein and his Trump connection were national news, and all the stuff about trump was already common knowledge. Out of the hundreds of millions of invested parties, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out some submitted bogus tips to a website, either not caring about risks or not taking the risks of false information over a web form seriously.

Though that one had the most critical information unredacted. Certainly worth highlighting that particular document regardless, but technically not an answer to the question about redactions.

The school doesn’t even need to do that to effectively squash suspected behavior in the short term.

Maybe they can’t dole out a substantive punishment, but when I was growing up they absolutely would lean on kids for even being suspected of doing something, or even if they hadn’t done it yet, but the administration could see it coming. Sure they might of wasted some time on kids that truly weren’t up to anything, but there generally weren’t actual punishments of consequence on those cases. I’m pretty sure that a few things were prevented entirely, just by the kids being told that the administration sees it coming.

So they should have at least been able to effectively suppress the student body behavior while they worked out the truth.

Since the offender is a child themself, it isn’t going to be treated as severely.

Also, they will be razor focused on preserving authority over making things right.

When they make a mistake, well no they didn’t because to admit a mistake is to acknowledge being fallible and to be fallible is to undermine your authority.

In this case they still torpedoed her shot at extracurricular activities even after amending in the face of overwhelming data that the girl reasonably felt zero recourse after doing everything the right way to start.

Not if it’s being distributed to others or you are being harassed by it.

Basically if you possibly even know that it has been done, then it’s a bigger problem than the material itself.

If, hypothetically, a boy ran a local model to generate such material for himself without ever sharing, then well it’s obviously going to be ignored because no one else in the world even knows it exists. The moment another person becomes a party to the material, it is injurious to the subject.

Ah yes, make no regulatory framework and just the the kids sort it out without any possible help from the system, sounds brilliant.

The kids seem to know about this stuff just fine. It’s not some lack of knowledge that was the problem here.

But it was provable, the police charged the boys.

Well in this particular instance they were able to find them and absolutely confirmed they do exist.

But to at least consider that risk, they should have at least been able to make the offenders scared they would get found out and they would at least stop actively doing it. They should have been able to squash the behavior even before they could realize a meaningful punishment.

I know when I was in school they would threaten punishment for things that hadn’t been done yet. I think a lot of kids declined to do something because the school had indicated they knew kids would do something and that would turn out badly.

Not only didn’t need them. They are considered a tactical liability.

For the resources to build a battleship, they o could build a couple of cruisers. In aggregate those would be more flexible, have better survivability, and have more offensive capability

It is a stupid bloated vessel for the sake of some twisted sense of superficial extravagant while in truth being a subpar waste of a bunch of people’s money. So I guess maybe it is worthy of being named Trump class.

If they are like 30, they know the babies today will fund their retirement, and a lack of babies means they will be screwed. At least those people I can see a concern from a rational perspective.

However it’s broadly either due to some religious fervor or tech bro narcissism (two two major pro nataliat voices, both super creepy in different ways that actually also hate each other)

Oh man, I remember marveling at BeOS in the day and for a brief moment in time when SSDs first hit the scene you could have a credibly fast Windows boot… Nowadays it’s worse than ever despite super fast storage, fastest CPUs, and gobs of RAM…

On your first point, ok, fine, perhaps some ‘save image as’ were in the files and people had no idea what it was… maybe… I think that’s a long shot, an odd image to retain without context of a related article or document clearly indicating what it is… It really strains credibility, but maybe possibly a misunderstood inclusion…

Ostensibly, they were supposed to be prepared to release the files ‘day 1’ of the administration, so they have had pretty much all year knowing this should be coming and preparing. Even if for some reason the deadline was unreasonable, it seems odd to just say nothing about that, not negotiate a different timeline with congress or something. It seems clear they were hoping that passing and have Trump sign that bill compelling the release was good enough optics and follow-up with token gesture was expected to be good enough. Which was absurd because Trump could have just done this anytime he wished, and for all the things he shouldn’t do unilaterally but does anything, this is where suddenly congress has to be all aboard…

There was a while back some Windows developer externally lamenting how ass-backwards they were and as a result their NT kernel was woefully under-featured compared to other contemporary OSes…

Then I think they forced him to take it back and say ‘um actually our kernel is actually super awesome, my mistake’.

They did not, they had some touch screen button.

They basically needlessly increased risk for the sake of avoiding optics of a safety driver with direct controls possible.

Trying to just not quite release the files, playing along with “wanting to release the files” combined with a smattering of the content they hope to be enough to mollify most people.

A pretend “good faith effort” to stall until people stop paying attention. Presumably something in the news cycle at some point will cause people to stop caring about some ‘inconsequential’ content beyond what they released.

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise
