China Is Bombarding Tech Talent With Job Offers. The West Is Freaking Out.
  • It's such a weird statement for them to make (twice). I could see questioning if it was from hexbear or maybe lemmy.ml, but WTF has lemmy.ee done to anyone to garner a reputation? I have an account there, too, and it's pretty chill from what I've seen.

  • Yes, It ‘Looks Like a Duck,’ but Carriers Like the New Mail Truck
  • Based off of memory, they didn't, and this contract was awarded to a defense contractor who built this thing that only gets 13MPG instead of the EV option we were told we'd be getting and I believe they each cost well over $100k per unit. They were forced to build more EVs as promised but these still cost $192k per truck, about as much as a Lamborghini Huracán.

  • Special counsel Jack Smith drops election subversion case against Donald Trump
  • If they try and fail they can’t try again.

    There's no "if" about it. They've already failed and this trial will never happen.

    By the time they were ready, a judge delayed the trial at Trumps request.

    Based on what exactly? Can you provide some sources that actually state that they didn't have enough to charge him until 2.5 years after his crimes occurred? What are you

    But your armchair internet legal analysis is that it wouldn’t be delayed if they just did it sooner. Which doesn’t make any sense.

    Where did I state this exactly? I'm arguing that delays wouldn't have mattered if they had charged him long before he'd already campaigned and won the Republican nomination. He was able to avoid a trial precisely because they waited until this point in time to do anything. Delaying is a common tactic in cases with people like him. Who couldn't have seen that coming? Are you arguing that Garland nor anyone else in the DOJ could have predicted this outcome? How do you argue that th

    But if you really think you’re smarter than the entire DOJ then why don’t you go stop Trump. Show them how it’s done.

    Well I can surely have a case against Trump dismissed as an armchair legal expert, so I guess that makes me equally competent to the best that the DOJ had to offer under Biden and the DNC's leadership.

  • What's the most peculiar thing you've seen on the modlogs?
  • I've gotten this on lemmy.ml communities when replying to hexbear users even though those communities have no rules listed and I hadnt even commented anything that would violate boilerplate rules. What it really means is "this place is for tankies and any opposition will be silenced" because those people I replied to were freely allowed to make death threats against me.

  • Trump officials to receive immediate clearances and easier FBI vetting
  • Well at least they say they're "trying" on paper. Unfortunately, they're either lying or incompetent because they sure as hell aren't succeeding at any of this and keep letting Republicans win elections by being so ineffective.

    It's not too different than your boss telling you that they're "really trying to get you a raise" year after year as you fall deeper and deeper into the hole meanwhile you see him buying his 14th house.

  • Special counsel Jack Smith drops election subversion case against Donald Trump
  • This means the DOJ can’t just go after him recklessly. They have to build an air tight case against not just your average defendant, but Trump.

    Otherwise they lose another case and Trump is empowered by it.

    Like they did here leading to him getting away with a multitude of felonies? A single state government managed to successfully prosecute and convict him, but you're telling me the DOJ with the full resources of the federal government couldn't manage to do the same because it's too hard?

    Do you really think you know more than the DoJ about this situation?

    Do you really feel like an "appeal to authority" argument is valid, especially in this context? You want to act like I'm an idiot because 'they have a solid, air-tight plan' as we're here commenting on an article about how all charges against him have been dismissed. That sounds like the exact opposite of a solid plan. Who ever could have imagined that a defendent would try to delay their case from being heard in court? Obviously, this completely blindsided the DOJ as it's such an unprecedented tactic, so it's perfectly understandable why they have to let him walk away.

  • Trump Pentagon pick attacks UN and Nato and urges US to ignore Geneva conventions
  • Well, when you support and espouse Nazi ideals, you should expect to be attacked for it. It didn't work out for them then and it isn't working out for them now either. Maybe they just need to try it 15 more times and it'll finally work.

  • Special counsel Jack Smith drops election subversion case against Donald Trump
  • The case was delayed after they waited nearly two and a half years to charge him which put the trial too close to the election. Why are you completely glossing over this while talking about 'drumming things up?' You're clearly trying to obfuscate the facts here.

    Trump didn't wait until August '23 to bring any indictments against himself. That was the decision of Merrick Garland who was appointed directly by Joe Biden in March of 2021.

  • Good permanent Christmas lights?
  • Govee seems to be the best off-the-shelf option for this as nobody else has really pursued this mostly hobbist market outside of custom installers like you mentioned.

    I also think they should last quite a while since they'll be mounted up in the soffit outside of any direct sun or rain exposure which is what's bad for electronics.

  • Special counsel Jack Smith drops election subversion case against Donald Trump
  • It's not "doomer moaning" to think that if they didn't prosecute him in the four year period after his presidency that they won't do it eight or twelve years after his presidency when he's either dead from old age or well into his 80s.

    That's not defeatist it's simply witnessing the actions of our current leadership and believing them. You can choose to believe their words instead, but there's zero reason to when their actions (both past and current) directly contradict them.
