Did they win the war on drugs? That seemed to go well.

I didn’t even know ads aimed at kids weren’t banned. You guys ban kinder eggs but not ads?

There are precedent for not following illegal orders. The Nuremberg trials made that point very clear.

He just need higher heels.

To be fair they can’t complain about Biden being black or wearing a tan suit…

The reverse Roko’s Basilisk… interesting gambit.

Just turn your monitor around, jeez!

Tomahto, Tomayto.

If cheating on your wife by fucking a porn star and using campaign fund for her hush money could tank a campaign, we wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place.

Trump, Mike Johnson and their followers will walk down to the Rio Grande, separate the waters, cross, and establish their own Israel-like state in Mexico, thus fulfilling the prophecy that Irony is officially dead, and satirical publications around the world will collapse into a singularity under the weight of reality, engulfing the earth as a first plague to be released. The second plague will be a yogurt.

That makes a great song jingle but it’s been proven that you are more a product of words around you than you want to admit in your comment.

And while you’re at it, remove safety on guns. And seatbelts. And might as well get rid of those pesky boom gates. I can hear the trains just fine, I don’t like being treated like a child. /s

They’re one way functions. Encryption requires decryption, so you cannot lose information.

Hash functions are meant to lose information. They cannot be reversed. What they’re good at is verification; do you have the right password? Do you have a proof that this is your message and not someone else’s?

We already use hash functions where they make sense, but the parent is not entirely right; not all hashes and signatures are equals. Some are very quantum susceptible. Those will likely be broken real soon (think years, not decades). Some are quantum resistant.

There’d just be new cryptocurrencies. There are crypto algorithms that are already quantum resistant. Monero is a great example.

You seem to be under the impression that crypto somewhat relies on current technology to exist. It’s a set of heuristics and algorithms, not a single implementation. And those can evolve for new use cases or technologies.

What you said is akin to “if something like this could make databases obsolete”.

Democrats didn’t wait three years to provide evidence in the Trunp impeachment. The Ukraine call thing took less than four months to provide evidence.

US American parliamentarianism

USA does not have a parliament.

the leader, the person in The Office Of The President

The POTUS specifically is NOT the leader. That’s the whole point of checks and balances; the three branches of government are equal in power and can veto each others. This very different of other countries with a Parliament system.

That’s a lot, but for some reason I still fell like it’s low, considering the organization is probably worth billions… or did I get the valuation wrong?

So the American people would rather have a fascist that has sworn revenge on his political enemies, to Biden who actually helped American families. Telling.

He’s already reached it. If he fails it won’t be a failure of his administration, it will be a failure of the electorate.

I’m actually curious if this would count as precedent in court. “Trump did it and the judge disregarded it, surely I can do the same you honor.”
