Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Intel launched the Pentium processor in 1993. Unfortunately, dividing sometimes gave a slightly wrong answer, the famous FDIV bug. Replacing the faulty chips cost Intel $475 million. I reverse-engineered the circuitry and can explain the bug. 1/9

Short version:
1. Musks's Starlink gamed a badly run Trump-era broadband subsidy system to get a billion dollars.
2. The Biden FCC (correctly) reversed the award, saying taxpayer money should be prioritized for more reliable fiber, and that Starlink was expensive and slow.
3. Republicans whined.

NYC's Central Park should have a James and the Giant Peach sculpture (as in the story ends with James living in the pit in CP). You can have James and his friends. Kinda like the Alice sculpture.

It's such a glorious post. It has only two interpretations, both of them evidence of securities fraud:
1) He's telling the truth, and thus admitting to insider trading.
2) He's lying, and thus committing market manipulation.
