I think you are trampling curiosity right now.

I think you're a small-minded troll who revels in the pain and suffering of others. As such, whatever scorn is heaped on you is likely well deserved.

I wonder if US tourism is down. We avoided it for travel due to the current situation.
Yes it is. At least in NYC. I'm including multiple links to the data, lest folks try to claim it's some sort of TDS[0] fueled plot against our beloved and incredibly popular leader.

Okay, but again, the problem causing the jackbooted thugs is poor voter choices in the recent presidential election, ongoing citizen apathy, a Supreme Court enabling it, and a GOP which is thoroughly corrupted from top to bottom, not Customs inspections, FEMA disaster assistance, or Coast Guard rescues.
The fix to this is to swap out the nation's leaders, not to throw away every governmental institution with any relation to public safety.

Right, and funding for customs inspections, FEMA disaster assistance and the Coast Guard are all already being cut in favor of jackbooted thugs.

I never suggested that DHS should be abolished. That was someone else[0].
You might take that up with them instead.

The DHS is an umbrella organization with a huge number of parts under it, including stuff like FEMA (emergency management), customs, the coast guard, the secret service, monitoring of agricultural pathogens (formerly part of USDA), infrastructure protection (formerly part of FBI), federal law enforcement training, etc.
Abolishing "everything under" the DHS would do incredible damage. The various agencies lumped under the DHS could plausibly be re-organized again, though I'm not sure it would serve much purpose.
The biggest problem is that voters keep putting incompetent ideologues in charge of the federal government.
>Abolishing "everything under" the DHS would do incredible damage.
As we're seeing with cuts to anything other than programs enabling masked, jackbooted thugs to beat/harass/disappear brown people.

> CVEs are for vulnerabilities that are common across multiple products from multiple sources.
This is absolutely not true. I have no idea where you came up with this.
> Honestly, the worst thing about this story is that apparently the Copilot LLM is given the instructions to create audit log entries.
That's not at all what the article says.
> That’s the worst design I could imagine!
Ok, well, that's not how they designed it.
> This is just engineering 101.
Where is the class for reading 101?

Perhaps they asked Copilot?
I'm talking about the "abusive spouse" attack, which can take many forms. So the time between receiving the ballot and mailing it back is when privacy is easily violated.
My god!
Is it painful talking out of your ass like that? It certainly stinks. Yuck!

First off, you didn't say NIMBYism, you said NIMBY, and I'm pretty sure you understand the difference. If you really don't, I'll spell it out for you: the latter labels the person you are having the discussion with as motivated by greed, dismissing any valid points they may have. It is a lazy way to shut down an argument similar to the old internet standby "virtue signaling". Second, even if you did mean to say NIMBYism, historic preservation is not NIMBYism. By way of a simple example - I am for historic preservation in places I don't even live, not in my back yard. I hope that clarifies things.
>First off, you didn't say NIMBYism, you said NIMBY, and I'm pretty sure you understand the difference. If you really don't, I'll spell it out for you:
What you "spelled out" is not the generally understood definitions. I'm glad you're thinking for yourself, that's usually a good thing. Good on you!
That said, when using specific terms, it generally helps to use widely understood terms rather than your own definitons.
NIMBY[0]:
NIMBY (/ˈnɪmbi/, or nimby),[1] an acronym for the phrase "Not In My Back
Yard",[2][3] is *a characterization of opposition by residents to proposed real
estate development and infrastructure developments in their local area, as
well as support for strict land use regulations. It carries the connotation
that such residents are only opposing the development because it is close to
them and that they would tolerate or support it if it were built farther away.
The residents are often called nimbys, and their viewpoint is called nimbyism. *
The opposite movement is known as YIMBY for "yes in my back yard".[4]
Sad.
