You’d be very dead, since it’s only like 4ft deep 😂

What’s extra funny is that the olympic rules allow you to stay underwater for up to 15 meters per lap, so you could legally complete the entire race without swimming. Just push off and glide back and forth between each end of the pool 😆

Ah, yes. The 15 meter 2 lane pool. Famously used in many Olympic events.

These Zillow tags do nothing other than make me more suspicious. Why would you need to clarify that the house isn’t built like shit unless it is?

Thanks, that's what I was going for :)

I just happily eat the extra 20% cost to never have to schedule flights ahead of time. Most of the time I book them at the airport lol

just do a post at a time and calculate average sentiment, or just delete their account

How to do a regime change with boots on the ground:

It's the same process, just you spend the next 20 years living in a tent in the desert while the neighbor fucks your wife

How to do a regime change without boots on the ground:

1) bomb the leaders you don't like
2) there is now no one in charge to stop the people with guns from doing whatever the fuck
3) the people with guns get together and do whatever the fuck
4) congratulations, you have now installed a new regime

I feel like a decent use of LLMs would be to perform sentiment analysis across all of an account's replies, then give people an option to limit replies to people who aren't extremely annoying.

Ran into a content creator at a conference who had a DJI Osmo 3. I’ve been filming all my videos with an iPhone, so I decided to buy one and give it a go. Surprised by how lightweight it is. Has full face tracking and a wireless mic

It really is impressive just how little thinking goes on inside an average US think tank

The most common misconception about consumer privacy is the idea that some company is going to hide you from the FBI for $5/month.

Either they're lying or misleading you, or they genuinely haven't been pressured into complying (because they aren't a significant barrier to the FBI finding you).

Essentially, all Proton is really saying is that foreign search warrants are handled according to Swiss law, rather than US law, which is nuanced. But the way they're wording it seems intended to mislead customers into thinking Proton will shield them from US law enforcement (they won't).

Essentially, Proton should never see "legal requests" coming from anywhere other than Swiss authorities. Every other country would simply send their requests via MLAT, which would then be handled by swiss authorities.

2) The US LEA will have some foreign affairs department, which will vet the request to ensure it's appropriate.

3) The request, once approved, gets forwarded to the country which has jurisdiction over the target of the search.

4) The request is then handled by local police in that country.

Which is the whole reason why MLAT exists. Lots of countries have cooperation treaties with the US, and Switzerland is one of them. The process for this is fairly simple.

1) Instead of applying to a US court for a US search warrant, the US LEA will submit an MLAT request internally.

If a company has no US legal entity, employees, or infrastructure, then it's unlikely a US court can claim jurisdiction over said company. That means if a US law enforcement agency (LEA) applied for a search warrant, it'd be unlikely to be granted. Even if it was, it's not really legally binding 2/6

It feels like Proton is engaging in very intentionally deceptive marketing because they know most of their customers don't understand enough about legal process to know what any of this actually means.

It feels like they accidentally downloaded the schematics for the backwoods country bumblefuck airport instead of the international tourist destination one

Orlando airport is the only airport I’ve flown out of where everything is so unbelievably terrible that I can get as high as humanly possible and still find it completely unbearable. I’m gonna have to add a $20k Orlando airport surcharge to my contract or something, because what the fuck
