A lot of the recommendations for NOAA cuts in Project 2025 have been happening, so it's probably more of a "hasn't happened yet" kind of thing. There's little reason to believe that isn't still the goal.
Project 2025 called for downsizing the weather service and have them focus on just data gathering and it should "fully commercialize its forecasting operations".…
Well, they sure seemed to fail at finding much meaningful savings to be had. The government seems to be throwing money in the furnace at rates never seen before while actual outcomes seem anywhere from mixed to bad…

That doesn't absolve an employee (or ex-employee) of the covered entity going about and abusing the access they do have.
As for what damage you do, it kind of depends on what you're doing. But in the end you're exposing your work machine to patterns and processes outside your normal job duties, potentially exposing it and the data/access…
I love phone as a key. It's an optional thing on my car, you can still carry around a physical key fob if that's your jam. But outside of a long road trip I don't normally care to keep a key fob with me. It's just…

When you go really hard with the privacy-enhancing tools, you can potentially just make yourself even more visible. When you're so far outside the normal way a user looks you're making yourself even more unique than if…
Say you've got a game that's specifically designed for 5v5 play. In this game, things become imbalanced and overly chaotic when there's more than that many players, the main game mechanics start to fall apart. So now…

I agree. A lot of people assume rational actors and don't understand "meme magic".
Honest question: is listening to The Chronic evidence you traffic illegal drugs? If my family members ever go missing I'd hope the cops knock on the doors of everyone relevant to their lives. Neighbors, friends,…
