People are freaking out, asking about Yubikeys and other hardened 2FA. While that's never a bad idea, it provides very little protection against an RCE type of attack vector. The bad actor is literally in the servers, with the ability to replace a kernel or intercept anything. What's needed is to reduce attack surface. You shouldn't have shared so much info with vendors in the past. And you should work to get it deleted for the future. If you're not rapidly maintaining your own software, it should go away. Don't just think about securing software, think more about not even opening ports to the Internet or shared subnets.

I'd like a Trump Account for adults. Just deposit the money I've paid into Social Security for the past multiple decades and I'll take care of it from here. What say you @realDonaldTrump and @RapidResponse47?

What on earth? No. Everyone who worked hard and contributed to SS throughout their lifetime should get it back with interest and inflation. That is all. SS isn't welfare.
We should start by means-testing SS. Anyone making over $75K/year in other income should not receive any SS The very poor people will get their $. The people who don't need it, won't.

So @McFranchisee, are you offering this "service" to your customers too? Would love to hear what you typically do with this sort of thing.
McDonald’s has something special for Chicago marathon runners: pickle juice. The fast-food burger giant has bottled pickle brine for “runners, spectators, and pickle lovers” at this weekend’s Chicago Marathon. ow.ly/CLRz106FLEt

With the advent of Super Intelligence, it's time change our tact: As of now, captchas should ask to prove that you ARE a bot. @elonmusk where do we start?

Some Assembly Required... Sorry, couldn't resist. :)
Replying to @FFmpeg
2/4 Faster on git master: a ProRes RAW threading fix took a 4264x2408 RAW HQ clip from 8.4 to 49 fps on 12 cores. Thread-queue changes cut kernel CPU time to 1/67 and context switches to 1/11 in a synthetic 16-stream test. HEVC also gains metadata-only decoding.

Gotta say, kudos to @McFranchisee for answering my Q and even fielding the deluge of angst posters in the comments. He's a class act.
Next time you go through the drive-thru for an iced coffee, ask them if it’s freshly brewed or from a concentrate. Most of our direct competitors do not brew it freshly, it comes out of a bottle. McD brews it around the clock. We use a milk/cream based creamer. As for the sweetener- it’s up to you, our standard is a liquid sugar, you can always substitute for granulated sugar, Splenda or equal. As always, @McDonalds is extremely transparent on our ingredient stack. Here is a screenshot from the app. @TipOfTheBanana has people thinking - which is great!

When I order a @McDonalds Iced Coffee with 4 creams, what am I actually getting? Real coffee, real milk cream? Any weird stuff, creamers, sugars, etc? @McFranchisee?

I guess we fixed it by spending all those trillions of dollars on paper straws, eh?
JUST IN: Zero hurricanes have formed in the Atlantic by September 21 for the first time since 1914.

To everyone whining about Trump kicking CNN out of the WH ... You're missing the point. CNN will literally write the same scripts regardless of what Trump says during a presser. What do they care if they're in the office or not?

There's a lot of discussion on Flock style cameras. Lots of valid points on the good LEO can do with them. Please don't lose sight of the fact that the companies running these have security flaws and process slips. Your data is open to more than just the 30d PD window. "Delete" doesn't always mean gone.

I've tasked @grok @bot with buying every single electronic license of GTA VI the moment it's released. Millions of frontier AI tokens, but I'm going to own the whole market!!

Welcome to America - you can work hard and be a CEO too, or you can be a crooked politician and make your millions like Bernie. Options abound.
Annual compensation: Walmart CEO: $29.2 million Median Walmart worker: $30,520 Target CEO: $21.8 million Median Target worker: $27,506 Home Depot CEO: $16.2 million Median Home Depot worker: $37,881 We need an economy that works for ALL, not just the 1%.

Lake America, Gulf of America... Hear me out @WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump : instead of the Rio Grande, how about we make "The River Great" [again]?
