@cdarwin@c.imTo people who didn’t vote for Trump, his sweaty panic over the Epstein files is perplexing.
The president’s enthusiasm for sexual violence is no secret.
It’s been nine years since the release of the “Access Hollywood” video, in which he bragged about how he liked to “grab them by” the genitals.
In 2023 and 2024, two civil juries found that journalist E. Jean Carroll told the truth when she said Trump sexually assaulted her in the 1990s.
The president has also made …

@scott@carfree.cityLast year global temperatures were 1.6°C over the pre-industrial average, the first year to breach the 1.5° goal.
"One or two years that exceed 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level does not imply that the Paris Agreement has been breached. However, with the current rate of warming at more than 0.2°C per decade, the probability of breaching the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement within the 2030s is highly likely."

Was just having a conversation with someone about how "50%" of the country voted for Trump and in reminding them it's way less took the time to look up the numbers. In 2024 Trump got 77.3 million votes in a country of 340.1 million people. That's 22.7% of the people. ~21.5% of the people are under age 18, so 263.6 million adults. Trump got the vote of 29.3% of them. Some of those adults aren't eligible to vote, but when discussing social dynamics, they matter just as much, as do kids... Even of the people who voted for Trump, many were not at all MAGA fanatics (even if they at minimum had a seriously warped worldview and dangerous politics of one kind or another).
The truth is, almost no president has ever had a huge popular mandate, because our society is engineered to let a minority political class retain most of the power while giving the illusion of influence to the masses.

@metacurity@infosec.exchangeThings I have read in major newspapers and cyber publications over the past week that are just really fiction, totally false, and yet have become conventional wisdom among cyber journos:
--TP-Link routers are a US security threat. (not more than any other router)
--The SEC's settlement with SolarWinds is evidence of how little Trump cares about cyber (utterly false -- fed judge pooped on the SEC's legality in 2024 and much more).
--Coinbase is playing fast and loose…

Unusual Machines’ advisory board in November 2024
-- U.S. government contracts soon followed
CEO Allan Evans told Forbes the advisory board was created when Donald Trump Jr. was named to it,
and that he believes it has four other members,
but he declined to name them or share if they are associated with the Trump Organization.
Likewise, the company’s website does notappear to mention any members other than Donald Trump Jr.

@buercher@tooting.chStreamingplattformen haben kaum Schweizer Filme im Angebot. Diese machen weniger als 3% der Filme und rund 2% der Abrufe aus. Dennoch ist ihr Publikum in absoluten Zahlen stark gewachsen: Zwischen 2023 und 2024 gab es 7-mal mehr Abrufe, und dies obschon das Angebot an Schweizer Filmen auf den Streamingplattformen innerhalb eines Jahres um 2% zurückging. Das gesteigerte Interesse fokussiert sich dabei auf einige wenige Grosserfolge.

@tomkalei@machteburch.socialWe also wrote a "Snapshot of Modern Mathematics", a short article about the so-called "4-sample-theorem" for Maximum Likelihood Estimation in Gaussian Graphical Models.
We submitted it to MFO in Spring 2024 but sadly they have not yet dealt with it. We never put out a preprint, thinking this would have been a very short process. But it is not.
So here is the preprint now, exclusively posted on the Fediverse:
