Top Story

PayPal appears to be going on a banning spree in the UK. (The Telegraph)

Groups targeted include UsForThem, which advocates for keeping schools open, and the Daily Skeptic and the Free Speech Union, which advocate for, well, skepticism and free speech.

The Daily Skeptic is asking for any donors in Texas to contact them. (Daily Skeptic)

Because with the recent Fifth Circuit decision, PayPal just lit up the Sue Me signal.

Tech News

Alongside three very expensive new consumer graphics cards, Nvidia just announced its extremely expensive new professional graphics card. (Serve the Home)

The RTX 6000 replaces the RTX A6000, which rather confusingly replaced the RTX 6000. Someone might need to explain to Nvidia how numbers work.

This is very similar to the new RTX 4090, but with 48GB of ECC RAM instead of 24GB of non-ECC, a 300W TDP down from 450W, and a conventional two-slot design instead of the massive four-slot boards being produced for the 4090.

Unfortunately it's likely to cost around four times as much.
An unpatched bug in a Python library has led to vulnerabilities in an estimated 350,000 projects. (Bleeping Computer)

The bug is in the tarfile library, which has an explicit warning about extracting tarfiles from untrusted sources, but doesn't prevent the risk.

Researchers found that there are nearly 600,000 Python projects out there that use the tarfile module, which, I mean, why? And only 40% of them have safety checks.
Amazon's 2022 model of the Fire HD8 replaces the old, slow A53 cores with the new, slow A55 core. (Thurrott.com)

It starts at $100 so you can't expect that much, and a 6 core 2GHz A55 is quite reasonable for light use - email, web browsing, reading ebooks, that sort of thing.

The problem is that it still has a 2012-quality 1280x800 screen, and there's no better model available, the HDX range having been long since discontinued.

If you want a small device with a good screen for reading books, the choice right now is either the Kindle Paperwhite, which is quite small and can't do anything but read books, or the iPad Mini, which is a decent device except that it's Apple and costs about four times as much as a small Android tablet.

Lenovo's Legion Y700 exists, but is only sold officially in China, so it might as well not.
The James Webb space telescope has captured a remarkably clear view of the rings of Neptune. (NASA)

It looks a bit weird because the Webb is an infrared telescope, not visible light.

Disclaimer: Before you ask, yes, Uranus also has rings.

3 Evening and morning to all! Stirling the Big Black Kitten says "Hello!" Actually he is probably saying "Feed me," or "Pet me," or "Play with me." He has mellowed from the kitten crazies quite a bit. Miss Linda, though, tells me that he is occasionally straddling the girl kitten, Dagny, and nipping at her neck in the activity cats think of as "foreplay." I thought disconnecting his batteries would head this off --?

How I dream of a climate like that in Sept. instead of January. Notsothoreau on one of the morning threads yesterday started me thinking about northern Kansas as a place to move to and buy a house. There are numbers of decent-priced and great-looking houses in small towns there. Why is it that pics of even fairly nice houses here in Lousy-ana all look like they are slimy and moldy, yet houses in the same range in WI, KS, and WV all look spruce and well-kept?

(Maybe because they are?)

22 Just an odd quirk in that dream. It was your fairly standard dream. Some sort of standard, normal situation but there is some sort of secret evil organization that is posing as the cleaning crew. The nice lady asked me to go down the hall to the room with the blah blah and 'hit the button for the Waste Management Pudding.'

For my part I was like 'Oh, ok.' Like Waste Management Puddings were something I dealt with every day. I go down the hall to the room and start searching through a drawer of rings (that go on your finger) for evidence of the bad guys and someone comes in and asks me what I am doing, suspiciously. Covering, I say 'She asked me to hit the button for the Waste Management Pudding. The guy is suspicious but motions me toward the button on the wall.

Then I woke up and immediately thought 'Waste Management Pudding? What the hell, brain?'

I've crossed Kansas E to W on I-70 twice. The landscape is pretty dull, the exits are far apart, and not every one has a gas station right off the highway, so you need to fill up when you can. But you're climbing very slightly the whole way. And when you cross into CO and first raise the Rockies -- beautiful.

40 There are a couple of sites that have a Ukraine jones - every victory is amplified, every Russian misstep a disaster. Hoyt is linking one that declares Putin is desperate with his latest move. Perhaps. What should be top of mind for Americans is that for whatever reason Putin has shifted the narrative of the war from some odd police action to a defense of the motherland. He only needs a small percentage of his conscripts to buy into that concept before Russian history and psychology creates a bad stretch of highway for Zelensky. Meanwhile our glorious resident gets lost on stage and blanks out for 15 seconds or so in NY yesterday. Dangerous times.

Because under Russian law conscripts can't be used except in defense of Russia. That's also why trying to make Eastern Ukraine part of Russia (as far as Russia is concerned) by next week. Then he can use conscripts against Ukrainians trying to take their country back.

The people living in the Eastern Ukraine have made it clear over the last eight years that they do not want to be a part of Ukraine.

Love your neighbor as yourself. Excusing barbaric behavior or willful ignorance in yourself is not loving yourself, it is disrespecting yourself and your own dignity. Just as it is for your neighbor. It is because you love your neighbor that you should recoil in horror when they turn wombs into oubliettes, and children's hospitals into abbatoirs. It is because you love your neighbor that you should be disgusted when they are enslaved and reduced to chattel for the insatiable greed and lust of others.

She's a black Democrat. All other black Democrats will automatically believe her, no questions asked, no matter how ludicrous and laughable her claims. What a fat dunce. Here's your foil hat, you racist lunatic.

89 TX + FL + 5th circuit / 11th circuit split + almost certain SCOTUS resolution is likely to achieve something I thought might never happen.

91 When SOS Benson joined Michigan in ERIC, she claimed her goal was to clean up the state’s voter rolls,” Johnson added. “Today, the number of Michigan’s registered voters has climbed to more than 104% of its voting-age population. That impossible number could function like a slush fund of phantom voters for fraudsters to dip into.

92 What Abrams is saying is so ghoulish it's almost beyond belief that a human being can really think that way. To be so invested in the murder of a baby no one has ever even met, that you can contort and pervert your thought to such ridiculous lengths.

>>That impossible number could function like a slush fund of phantom voters for fraudsters to dip into.

As has been noted, the Donks don't need voters, they need a universe of potential votes to mine and "fortify" elections.

This is basically the 2020 playbook.

PA's SOS did something similar when he re-jiggered the voter registration/ballot request forms and combined them on one form.

Because many more people will register than request a ballot, but now you have a method to create and harvest all the ballots you may need.

This crap needs to stop or else voting or voting will become more and more Potemkin every day.

94 Neptune's year is 164 earth-years. Which makes me wonder. Say the sun was a lot brighter so life evolved on Neptune instead. Would we all live thousands of (earth) years?

For a creature to be stable it has to be able to survive one full turn of the seasons. Once you can do that, you're off to the races.

"Could"? There is a really weird "utilitarian" approach to election security.... this idea that anything is fine and permissible so long as it didn't tangibly alter the election result... Where is this approach for car inspections? Taxes? Drunk driving? "No harm no foul", even when applied honestly and with good intentions, is no way to run a Rule of Law society, and it definitely is not the way to run the thing we do as a proxy to avoid periodic revolution and civil wars...

It's why illegals are so important to their plan. Between the cheating AND the influx of new Democrats, they've got two roads to get to the same destination.

99 Having more voters than residents anywhere should bring the whole shebang to a screeching halt and become the new Thing We All Talk About until it's brought under control. Not some brushed off, hey maybe we should look into that when we get a chance, whenever kind of thing.

104 They keep screeching on the local TV weather that "Fall arrives tonight at 8:04 pm." Hoop-de-doo. Still going to be in the mid-90s tomorrow and low 90s over the weekend. Local weather twink says, "The humidity won't be too terrible . . ."

"Not too terrible"? That's hardly a recommendation. "The place isn't doing all that badly" is not a good recommendation for someone to go to NYC or SF, either?

111 Paypal got sketchy as soon as Musk was replaced as CEO by Peter Thiel in October of 2001. I know, I was using the service at that time, and stopped as soon as the horror stories started appearing from customers and vendors alike. Frozen accounts with no explanation*, withdrawals directly from people's bank accounts (which were tied to their paypal account electronically) that weren't expected or authorized, it was a mess.

I don't know what they're like now, and have no desire to find out.

{*} Imagine having your funds frozen, and being unable to accept payments or make payments if you're a small specialty shop with a web store in the very early 2000's, or maybe you're just an individual selling some old music CD's or used games on eBay and PayPal freezes your account without warning in the middle of 50+ active auctions.

112 I don't use PayPal anymore.
if the government has any use, it should be to prevent banks and payment systems from blocking customers from their use for any legal purpose.
