Wasn't there someone who ended up trying to sell intel to the Aussies and/or Canadans, who promptly called up the FBI to come collect their idiot child?

edit lol it was Pollard

Apparently an 18 year old hacker managed to break into Uber and is dumping their info:

Not a cyber expert but sounds like Uber's security was...not good.

Sooner or later the butcher’s bill will come due given that climate change is going to send more destructive hurricanes to the Gulf and southeastern coasts while also cooking California and the Pacific Northwest into year-round fire seasons. We’re eventually going to have a situation where most of the country is uninsurable because of the frequency of such events, and I strongly doubt there will be enough political will by any party to whistle past the graveyard yet again and hope that the buck stops with the next administration, whoever that may be.

Not directly climate related but fully doubling down on the whistling part seems to be the current UK strategy under Truss. I could totally see a DeSantis or Trump redux just writing IOUs for burnt/drowned red state McMansions until the repo men show up for the White House china.

FWIW FEMA does have a Hazard Mitigation Grant program which includes offering buy-outs to people living in flood prone areas that have become uninsurable. Away from beachfronts in places like the big river valleys low-lying areas tend to be on the lower end of the income scale already. As they start getting hit by more frequent and severe flooding events, people living there can end up effectively trapped in a financial sense between their property value tanking and having to use what little else they've saved up on repeated damages. In those cases FEMA offers to buy their properties at full pre-flood / pre-insurance rates so they have a lifeline to get out and move to a less flood prone area.

We'll end up building dykes or wave barriers or something to protect the cities along the Gulf and Atlantic seaboard but there's definitely going to end up being areas that won't get that sort of protection. When that happens there will be a real need for the government to help assist people in relocating to other areas of the country without becoming homeless climate refugees, including helping those people get their savings out of homes that now belong to Poseidon. Now of course, whether the private equity vampires manage to divert all that towards bailing out their property investments is another matter.

I am personally and professionally obligated to tell you that you're wrong









Arizona has many, many flaws, but the entire state is not Phoenix. There is absolutely incredible natural beauty, geologic wonders, and ecological treasures to be found throughout the state, from the depths of Grand Canyon, to the towering Saguaro cacti, to the Petrified Forest. And there is a long, long human history there, with vibrant and thriving cultures that have long outlasted Spanish and American attempts to eradicate them and their heritage.

In short: Arizona's cool! Just don't go to Phoenix.

In Arizona as we speak to go spend a few days up in Canyon de Chelly and the Navajo Nation, unfortunately have to transit through Phoenix to get there. Driving up Scottsdale Rd I'm not sure I've seen so many strip clubs not outside a military base.
