[01:11]	IsambardPrince	John Freeman and Elizabeth Compton both lived in the mid 1600s and got married at some point.
[01:12]	IsambardPrince	One branch went all the way down to my paternal grandmother.
[01:12]	IsambardPrince	One branch went down to Barbara Pierce, who married George H.W. Bush.
[01:13]	IsambardPrince	Barbara (Pierce) Bush had several children including Jeb and George W. Bush.

[01:14]	MinceR	technically, all life on Earth is related
[01:14]	IsambardPrince	"My my, aren't we the unlucky cousin?" -Dr. Smith (Lost In Space)
[01:14]	IsambardPrince	:D
[01:14]	IsambardPrince	George W. Bush became the President of the United States.
[01:14]	IsambardPrince	All I got was beaten up by Gonad the Barbarian.
[01:14]	IsambardPrince	:P
[01:15]	IsambardPrince	One went to Harvard, all I can say is I've been to Harvard.....Illinois.
[01:17]	IsambardPrince	I am 8th cousins three times removed with Bill Clinton, through my mother.
[01:18]	MinceR	i love how that article says "you'll find out who's the one president that's not related from this article!" and links to an article that has even LESS info than the original one
[01:19]	IsambardPrince	I'm related to Donald Trump, Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, and John F. Kennedy through my dad, and Bill Clinton through my mom. 
[01:19]	IsambardPrince	Closest are eight cousin 3 timex removed for George W. Bush through dad and Bill Clinton through mom.
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	Better start practicing my imitation of Clinton.
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	In a southern drawl...
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	I did not have sexual relations with that woman....Ms. Clinton.
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	:D
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	Oh wait, no no no. I got that mixed up.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	We're related to Roger Clinton, but not Bill.
[01:23]	MinceR	Roger, Roger.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	Roger was code named "Headache" by the Secret Service.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	:)
[01:23]	MinceR	What's our vector, Victor?
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	He was in constant trouble with the law and Bill Clinton pardoned him for that on his way out.
[01:24]	IsambardPrince	But within a bit, Roger was in trouble again.
[01:24]	IsambardPrince	Roger even took bribes from the Gambino family to try to get a pardon from Clinton.
[01:24]	IsambardPrince	The bribe included a Rolex watch valued at over $50,000 in the late 90s.
[01:25]	schestowitz[TR3]	<MinceR> technically, all life on Earth is related
[01:25]	schestowitz[TR3]	i said that to IsambardPrince yesterday
[01:25]	IsambardPrince	For a half-brother of Bill, he looks a lot like Bill.
[01:25]	schestowitz[TR3]	the question is, how many levels "up" need you go?
[01:25]	schestowitz[TR3]	mandy and ryan are also genetically related
[01:26]	schestowitz[TR3]	but maybe close to 100enerations "up"
[01:26]	schestowitz[TR3]	*genrations
[01:29]	IsambardPrince	We are related to Edith Wilson (Bolling).
[01:29]	IsambardPrince	7th cousin twice removed. She was the second wife of President Woodrow Wilson.
[01:30]	IsambardPrince	And most would say she was running the country after her husband's health was failing.
[01:30]	IsambardPrince	She had him sequestered in the White House and most people say he was unfit for office mentally and she would "talk to him" and "relay" things he supposedly told her to people.

[02:51]	IsambardPrince	:)
[02:51]	IsambardPrince	Including some that tried to surrender.
[02:51]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, ^
[02:53]	IsambardPrince	Things got pretty ugly during the invasion of Germany, even before Germany.
[02:53]	IsambardPrince	"War Crimes" were becoming quite common on both sides.
[02:54]	MinceR	:>
[02:54]	IsambardPrince	Apparently the Germans decided that in the Ardennes they did not have the ability to take prisoners, so they just started shooting everyone.
[02:55]	IsambardPrince	So the American soldiers started hearing about it, and they stopped bothering to take Germans alive.
[02:55]	IsambardPrince	I don't really blame Howard for killing some death camp guards.
[02:55]	IsambardPrince	I probably would have done it had I been in the same situation.
[02:57]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, It's not surprising the Germans were the ones to start shooting prisoners. They were not in a position to keep the offensive going and be burdened by prisoners.
[02:57]	IsambardPrince	Apparently, Hitler had the Generals that were put in charge of the campaign disarmed and arrested by the SS and brought to see him.
[02:58]	IsambardPrince	Where he explained that they would carry out his orders to go on the offensive in the Ardennes.
[02:58]	IsambardPrince	The generals knew it was a bad place to stage an offensive.
[02:59]	IsambardPrince	At that point, Hitler would be dead in about half a year and the Nazi government a couple weeks later.
● Jul 26
[03:00]	IsambardPrince	They had just enough military assets left to commit to this.
[03:00]	IsambardPrince	The plan called for a lot of things other than shooting prisoners that were illegal under the laws of war.
[03:01]	IsambardPrince	Including having German soldiers operating behind the lines in captured US uniforms and vehicles.
[03:01]	IsambardPrince	To sabotage things.
[03:01]	IsambardPrince	That can get you shot all by itself. Dressing up in enemy uniforms means you have no rights as a POW.

[03:06]	IsambardPrince	The US has a problem similar to this.
[03:07]	IsambardPrince	It's mostly that the south lost the civil war and a bungled reintegration left them poverty-stricken and resentful.

[03:10]	IsambardPrince	If we have more presidential elections, then the one in 2028 could go either way.
[03:11]	IsambardPrince	But the MAGA movement (if it thrives without Trump) will probably be back after 2032.
[03:11]	MinceR	who's going to use their soft power to persuade nazi america to have another election? the EU? *laugh track*
[03:11]	IsambardPrince	They're favored because assuming everything is normal and the elections keep going, they'll have so many more of the electoral votes by then.

[03:12]	IsambardPrince	They're going to gain another 8-9 electoral votes, so even if they don't suspend or cheat on the 2028 election, they'll be back in 2032 anyway.
[03:12]	IsambardPrince	The Democrats would have to change their messaging and find an overwhelmingly popular candidate.
[03:12]	IsambardPrince	Not just one that is regionally popular.
[03:13]	IsambardPrince	That means that they're going to need to find "another Bill Clinton".
[03:13]	IsambardPrince	But where from?
[03:13]	IsambardPrince	Well, there's some possibilities I guess.
[03:13]	IsambardPrince	There's some popular red state Democrat governors.
[03:13]	IsambardPrince	Like Andy Beshear in Kentucky.
[03:14]	IsambardPrince	I think they need to throw southerners and independent voters something.
[03:14]	IsambardPrince	And they need to do it quickly.
[03:14]	IsambardPrince	Pritzker has been said to be in the running. He certainly seems to be unofficially running for President right now.
[03:15]	IsambardPrince	So he could try to pull in Andy Beshear on the ticket.
[03:15]	IsambardPrince	Make a lot of campaign stops in Kentucky.
[03:15]	IsambardPrince	Beshear has won like 4 statewide elections in Kentucky I think.
[03:15]	IsambardPrince	He's been the head of the state's department of education, the attorney general, and the governor twice.
[03:17]	IsambardPrince	I still think that trying to reassemble the Rust Belt and maybe grab Kentucky is a winning play.
[03:18]	IsambardPrince	The Republicans are certainly almost going to nominate JD Vance.
[03:18]	IsambardPrince	He's part of the Trump administration. By that point people will be in agony over Trump's economic policies.

[14:51]	TR News	"Bot-based "engagement" can be the foundation for advertising fraud. The social control media companies are very likely to try to bill the advertisers for impressions which never happened and were bot clicks instead of actual visiting people." There were lawsuits like these (FB and Twitter).
[14:53]	TR News	Modern LLM get-rich-fast scheme: either lie to investors OR 1) attack a given Web site by scraping millions of pages from it 2) that site pays large bills for this attack 3) you then offer to sell all the data of that site 4) you profit from someone else's work without consent or even knowledge 5) that site gets nothing, shuts down due to bills
[14:55]	TR News	And yes, it sounds like some kind of crime. But that's what happens right now with LLM "data brokers", which compete by together attacking sites in parallel, all for the same "data set" (stolen mirror) to be sold to a highest bidder. Break this racket by punishing the actors.

[21:32]	schestowitz[TR3]	Given Microsoft's discriminating hiring and rewards processes (they are publicly proud of paying their diverse staff more for the same work), I am curious if the layoffs impacted "non diverse" talent disproportionally. In hiring, recruiters prioritize D&I candidates to show HMs (and HMs can't see who allied), HM had to profile on race and s-x with at least one women and one URM/BIPOC (and encouraged only to put three ). Schedulers
[21:32]	schestowitz[TR3]	 prioritize D&I candidates. Interviewers have to interview in D&I ideology. If you want to offer a non diverse person you have to put them on hold until finding diverse talent or get a "diversity exception" from your CVP. Given this and Microsoft's bias against non diverse talent, it would not surprise me if layoffs had that same bias and discrimination. They probably used their "Self ID" survey (asking employees for race, s-x s-x
