“On Tuesday, the Commerce Department will announce that any semiconductor manufacturer seeking a slice of nearly $40 billion in new federal subsidies will need to essentially guarantee affordable, high-quality child care for workers who build or operate a plant.”👍

Murdoch: yeah, we all totally lied. Probably shouldn’t have done that, but YOLO!

@briankrebs Social hacks comprise almost all hacks. Very few come from your password not “containing at least one upper and one lower case letter” and similar measures against a hypothetical brute force attack.

It’s not lost! It’s just… misplaced. Somewhere.

@RassBariaw go figure, I thought that was what you wanted with that JD comment so I tailored the following response accordingly. Regardless, I have now given you three explanations of my thoughts on the matter from different angles and have received nothing but lazy bait, so I’m done here.

@RassBariaw I believe in answering good faith with good faith, but you have shown none. But to further explain, we can best extrapolate from our stance towards nations like N. Korea, a hostile nation w nukes in range of the US, that we could wipe out but have refrained from, or Iran, a similar threat. Is it “acceptance” that we’ve allowed the threat to exist and refuse to invade, or nonacceptance shown by sanctions, hostile diplomacy, covert sabotage, etc.? Seems slippery to me.

@tiffanycli also the moderating effect of the ocean means that those of us who live close enough to the East Coast get subfreezing temperatures significantly less often than the interior. Even an hour inland— Richmond, VA v. Yorktown, VA, for example, makes a startling difference.

@RassBariaw then you know that I’m going to first have to get you to define what you mean by “accept,” because there’s a wide range of possible responses the US can and has used drastically short of Russia’s actions, and it’s muddying the waters to implicitly equate them all. I’m also going to object to relevance, because as I pointed out in my response, the analogy you set up is so far from what happened that it’s arguing from flawed framing around a flawed premise.

@RassBariaw @TheBigDemoDip Ukraine was not accepted into NATO, even provisionally. No NATO or US bases were built there. Russia blasting and looting based on what they supposed might happen, on some unspecified date in the future, isn’t something any of would accept from the US in your hypo.

There are already multiple NATO countries on Russia’s border, so their excuse is as ludicrous as the “secret biolabs” and “Nazis that throw too many gay pride parades” tries.

@mastodonmigration @davidaugust are all of these methods reliant on the contacts leaving a Mastodon address in their profile? If they didn’t, but have reused their name or handle in their Mastodon account, is it able to scan for that?

The world is an infinitely better place when adults remember what it’s like to be children.

@PStyleOne1 these are the people that so many are terrified are going to cause a nuclear war? They probably have fewer actually functional nukes than North Korea.
