That Signal clone story gets even worse. TeleMessage, the Israeli company behind the app, had access to all the messages, and the message logs are in plaintext. You would think a National Security Advisor would know this. Or should know this.

Oregon State's Open Source Lab is "running on fumes". I didn't realize that so many open source applications were hosted there.
- Provided hosting for Mozilla Firefox when they needed help in the early days and hosted the release of 1.0
- Was the home of the Apache Software Foundation, Linux Foundation, Kernel.org, Mozilla for many years
- Offers fast and reliable software mirroring for projects
- Currently provides infrastructure hosting for projects such as Drupal, Gentoo Linux, Debian, Fedora, phpBB, OpenID, Buildroot/Busybox, Inkscape, Cinc and many more!
- Virtual machines for x86, aarch64 and ppc64le are used by many projects for CI and other hosted services
This is how we know the Chinese economy is hurting: they're hiding the probably-bad data.

Multnomah County has no leadership. Get this:
Multnomah County will pay up to $250,000 for an outside contractor to draft the government’s new strategic plan after budgeting out over $1.1 million last year to form a five-member internal team to complete the same work.
Consulting firm Coraggio Group was tapped to create new goals and a roadmap for the county after the strategic planning, agility, reinvention and knowledge unit struggled to get off the ground, officials said.
The county also hired Coraggio last year to write its mission, vision and values statements — a project that also cost $250,000.
DEI at its finest!

We know that OHSU is a big loser after the failed merger effort. They have to pay Legacy a $25 million break-up fee. But Legacy is a loser, too. Only the unions won, and now Legacy has to deal with that fallout.
OHSU and Legacy both have interim leaders, who came out of retirement to keep the plates spinning until the merger took place. Now they have to find permanent leaders. Who wants the jobs now? Anyone?

This is too funny! Cardinals are watching ‘Conclave’ the movie for guidance on the actual conclave. Hokay!

Google wants to go nuclear, too. I guess they have to, because energy demands will overwhelm the current system.

Dem solutions to Dem problems. It's well known that Obamacare wasn't a great deal for healthcare after all. Sounded good to some people when it came out, but we are seeing now that the consequences are a mess. One of the bad outcomes was that private clinics had to close, and private doctors had to allow themselves to be employees of hospitals or private equity firms. Those that survived have had to endure lower insurance reimbursement. Now, Rep Lisa Reynolds, herself a pediatrician and part owner of a childen's clinic, wants to increase the pay of private physicians to that of hospitals. Legislating wealth, in other words.
The thought process for reimbursing hospitals better was that...
hospitals must serve all comers, including those on Medicaid or who have no insurance. Independent providers can reject such patients, leading to what Hayden calls “cherry picking.”
The extra pay to private clinic doctors will come out of the pocket of private insurance companies. So they will have to eat this cost, or get out of Oregon, which will hurt Oregonians.
Sen. Cedric Hayden (R-Roseburg) ...told the Oregon Journalism Project he was surprised Reynolds introduced a bill that would benefit her personally. “I thought the optics were pretty bold,” he says.
Yeah, this ronin thought so, too.

I never understood the practice of confessing one's sins to a Catholic priest. What does that really do? Now priests in Washington are legally required to report child abuse confessions to the law enforcement for investigation, but if they do so, they will get excommunicated. How about putting the child's safety at the forefront? Knowledge of child abuse should never be shielded. Just ask Pam Bondi, right?
