"Cook, the first Black woman to serve on the Federal Reserve Board, responded by saying she has done nothing wrong and Trump cannot fire her."

And:

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, the top Democrat on the Banking Committee, said in a statement: “The illegal attempt to fire Lisa Cook is the latest example of a desperate President searching for a scapegoat to cover for his own failure to lower costs for Americans. It’s an authoritarian power grab that blatantly violates the Federal Reserve Act, and must be overturned in court.”

Is this going to be like a $20,000 chip, for the 288 core version?

The specs are ridiculous. This thing is a beast.

He is in effect going to kill people in this way by coming in the way of their medical shipments to the US.
ncr100 · 12 hours ago
He's killed people, according to studies which I don't have on hand to share, but are real, with his leadership,

hundreds of thousands through the usaid closure, and

hundreds of thousands through his misleadership around covid misinformation during the pandemic

He cares about how death looks, he doesn't seem to care about the sadness that it brings to lose a human life or the value of human life in any of its dimensions other than looks. He talked about looks, when he saw photographs of dead children I think it was for Gaza, or Ukraine, but he just talked about looks. He did not talk about how sad it was for the parents or for the loss of life from Earth's human civilization.

It’s even worse on Windows, Linux, and Android. Piracy is rampant, customers don’t want to pay for software. Web-based SaaS applications are the only non-Apple platform worth developing paid software for.

Buuuut - WHAT IF base sales on Windows/Linux/Android is 900% higher than on Mac? Piracy as a cost ... (even if 50-70%) MIGHT be a financially successful direction.

got hit with a pop-up that said my device had a virus halfway through this otherwise interesting read. Good luck

I didn't. Maybe you have a virus.

Rant BEGIN: Dean Preston is a maniac in my personal experience having talked with him on the street while he was first campaigning -- before he served his first term. He laughed wildly at something frank and simple that I said, when he tried to talk to me about how he was so cool and how people should vote for him. I basically said no I don't want to talk to you and that I was busy. I remember it being an out of place kind of thing as if he sort of didn't care that I was busy? It was odd. Should I be happy that he laughed at me for being myself? Anyhow, Preston is is not someone who I have any reason to trust. END

San Francisco politics are complicated. There is a lot of appeasing and stuff that's done for show, to try and and curry favor from the various highly ideological and disunited, often impractical population segments. Getting nothing done while complaining about it seems to be an art in my opinion that ... what is it, city council, participates in. Boldly proposing impossible plans or shutting things down.

Just because ex-mayor Breed vetoed something doesn't mean that the moneyed rich are THE PROBLEM. SF during Breed's term had a lot of negative growth as the pandemic, extremely cheap fentanyl plus a very aggressive fentanyl user base, and work from home making ghost towns out of business and mixed business/residential neighborhoods, strangulated city operations, making for an extra stressful operations challenge for the mayor's office in my opinion.

This article is under-researched and / or highly opinionated, in my opinion.

The article could be much better, if it were more factually accurate about "conclusions" and less biased towards any particular political goal. I do like the the article is overtly biased and is not hiding its bias.

I own an Agency and write a ton of individual ACA along with Group and Medicare.

Final pricing hasn't even been released yet. I'll betcha that her premium won't be anywhere near 2800, theres no information about how shes quoted what she did such as age, zip code, carrier and income. This article is rage bait.

Here's a better source of information regarding how and why premiums are going up.

I am hopeful, of course, that the lady doesn't suffer, and that you're correct about "rage bait."

Thanks for sharing the linky link.

If only you can dig up some dirt and get her imprisoned. That seems to be the only way out of this mess.

1) Assert what you want - gotta know e.g. "I want kind people in my life"

2) Enforce your boundaries

I really wish they'd upgrade the Pro Fold to have the Pro camera system. :(

I don't know why they assume that someone buying a $2000 phone doesn't want the best available camera.

ncr100 · 5 days ago
Agreed - it's surprising to call it Pixel 10 PRO Fold, when it is lacking one of the "Pro" features.

Seems like a DISCOUNT is in order.

> Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL are all available for preorder today starting at $799, $999 and $1199.

Sigh, still not going to pay more for a phone than I paid for my computer.

Also, what is up with that camera module? This doesn't look like it can physically slide into jeans pockets. At least round the corners or add little ramps. I guess this is what happens when design folk are allowed to trump engineers.

/s: B-b-b-but if you buy the Pixel 10 Pro Fold you can pay $1799 and, assuming your bank account can only hold amounts $1699 and lower, the amount needed to purchase will overflow at some point in the purchasing process, making it SEEM like you only pay $100 for that new phone!?
