@dnkboston I have read that the strait actually wasn't closed. They do simply that. Android companies pulled out of covering ships going through the strait because of all the instability. The insurance companies then restarted insurance, but only if it was paid in Chinese yuan. And so ships that were insured using Chinese yuan were able to go through the strait.

We might be about to find out what happens when ICE disregards a judge's order to release an immigrant it's locked in a cell

@bitinn I own my consulting firm and we have a strict no GenAI / LLM policy. I have a staff of 2 who are both artists and were more then supportive; they helped write the policy.

Because we do research and some of that research involves modeling, there's some machine learning that we do. But no generative AI. No LLM.

@miss_rodent @oneiros @mattblaze I might add these members of SCOTUS to that list: Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, and maybe even Roberts. I'd love to hear arguments to have Barrett also added to this list.
