Wouldn’t they be required to have some way of contacting the user in the event a breach was discovered covering the time the user had an account with them?

Systemic failure pending. If you pay 1/20th of corporate taxes then you control what happens in corporate tax policy.

Remember yesterday when every Trump supporter was talking about the amazing peace bringing powers of Trump and how between his bombing run and ceasefire he was the greatest leader of all time?

I reminded each of them that Israel has violated every ceasefire this year within hours. Trump supporters laughed. Not one could offer any idea on why this time would be different. They weren’t capable of admitting this was going to fail. And today they will find some other thing to pretend will justify his so called leadership.

A lot of people who try to dismiss racism as a factor in things don’t understand the scale of history.

The Equal Opportunity Act is only two years older than I am. The Equal Rights Act is just 10 years older than I am. Anyone you know that is older than 70 definitely went to a segregated school. But odds are most of the people you know that are older than 60 probably went to one as well because things don’t change overnight even when the national guard is called.

Parents today will do everything they can to get their kid into a good school district because they know every early advantage counts. Red Lining officially ended in 1968 but was still very much alive for another full generation or two after that. Kids in the 80s were still going to schools built before separate but equal was overturned. They were still going to schools underfunded because property taxes from segregated neighborhoods that weren’t going to reach income parity until gentrification hit in the 90s or 00s prevented those kids from getting a good education.

The people that were dumping milkshakes on people during the lunch counter sit-ins were the bosses making hiring decisions for the next 40 years.

People have this rosy view that “well that was a problem and then we passed a law that fixed it” while ignoring that things don’t change overnight and it takes a full generation or two to get everything through the courts and actually see the fruits of the fix.

But some generations last longer than others. John Tyler, president of the country from 1841 to 1845 had kids. Those kids had kids. Until today one of those kids was still alive. 180 years for just three generations . Did he directly benefit from generational wealth gathered before the end of slavery? You know he did. The occasional “This was your grandfather’s” hand-me-down was something that existed while slavery was still a thing.

Things echo through history and sometimes the echo is louder for some than others. Here is a guy who was a kid during the Great Depression and had a grand dad that was over 35 years old two decades before the Civil War.

Don’t let people tell you “that was a long time ago. They should have got over it by now” when the only asset the family has was a predatory loan made for a redlined house that determined what school they went to and how the rest of their life was statistically not just determined but designed. Things like redlining didn’t just take advantage of poverty. It was designed to perpetuate it. And in the timeline of things it was outlawed less than a lifetime ago.

Remember what they took from us.

It simply has too many bits. I know that scene doesn’t quite work here. But it’s the first thing I thought of. This is just way over complicated for finding if a number is divisible by two.

This was figured out more than a decade ago.

Yeah. Yeah. The time cube. We’ve all seen it.

I was a WebOS user. It was hard moving to Android after it died because it was so far behind WebOS in UX/UI. Each time Android would catch up with a feature I’d do a little dance of joy.

I want to offer a long history of how everyone saw this coming but I think “LOL” is the best response

TLDR: do not hold your plugged in to the grid phone during a storm. Charging packs are fine. Which is all I use anyway.
