Expanding on what the curated language of the press release actually means for the Forestry Service is not wild claims. It's context.

"This is just streamlining" is the bias. This is 'streamlining' in the same vein of what happened to USAID.

The yahoo article is talking about a facebook post. The main article is talking about the USDA press release.

The press release is talking about shuttering research facilities and "consolidating" them as if forestry research is the kind of thing that sits on a table and can be moved easily.

It goes on to talk about reorganizing base on state level instead of regions and how this "strengthens federalism". Those regions aren't as arbitrary as state borders. The forestry service mission was split up like that because those regions have different needs. Colorado and Wyoming do not need separate forestry offices.

Repeating points from a press release does not make a source unbiased, it makes them have the same bias as the source.

Hey it's my desktop! Love that case. Horizontal motherboards make more sense with how big graphics cards have gotten.

I bought a 16U rack this year to organize stuff a bit. Zigbee dongle is still installed exactly like this. I'm not convinced there's a better solution.

I want them to survive so bad.

I don't need my vehicle to be a third place. I don't want a molded dash with an entertainment center that will be obsolete when it's new and unable to be modified because they abandoned the DIN standard so you could only buy factory replacements. I just want a thing that can do ~50+ miles a day and recharge that overnight. Which Slate could do with just a regular 120v outlet.

Who knows if they'll actually make it to market or if it'll be $40k+ by the time it does, but even without the EV incentive $28k puts it among cheapest new cars in the US. I'm just severely unenthusiastic about any other newer cars on the market if my current one dies.

In 40k they're kinda like mushrooms.

Thankfully this one is built of many redundant layers instead of just one layer of metal.

* Assuming there is no bug, zero-day, or other vulnerability on the current version of your fully updated device.

Having a power-only cable removes that as a possibility.

Disney is also actively arguing in court that if you use the free trial you can't sue them for anything. Ever.

Even if years later you die in one of Disney's hotels because one of Disney's restaurants didn't care about your allergy.

So there's that to worry about now.

Perfect should not be the enemy of Good. Reforming the entire system is not something that just happens. It takes several steps in the right direction and you have to start somewhere.

Mostly I think its fine for all that.

But there's a special circle of hell for projects that rely on it for "documentation".

I get the temptation, I really do. But once you're taking money or have more than a couple people involved and semi-organized you really need at least a small wiki/git-hub landing page with the basics.

I know documentation is a separate skillset and a lot of work in its own right but projects can also stagnate and die because there isn't any.

It should be. But I would be extremely surprised if everything in the terms of service isn't worded something like "you're buying a license to view this content that can be revoked whenever".
