Social Security Numbers were never intended to be used the way they are. They were expressly for identifying you to the Feds for the purpose of SSI. Business just looked at that and said "hey, that's a good way to identify people" and ignored the feds when they asked politely for them to fucking not.

Impeachment proceedings are not judicial proceedings; they're political ones. Both processes use similar language because the process is similar, but they are not connected. Commission of a crime is not required for impeachment proceedings and being impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate conveys no criminal punishment.
Just went ahead and Googled it and I can find no credible source that he actually said these words at any time. So, if you'd like to bandy out that source, I think we'd all appreciate it.
In my experience, first-party JavaScript is more likely to be updated so rarely that bugs and exploits are more likely than supply chain attacks. If I heard about NPM getting attacked as often as I hear about CDNs getting attacked, I'd be more concerned.
I actively do this with uMatrix - granted, I only block non-first-party JavaScript. Most sites I visit only require a few domains to be enabled to function. The ones that don't are mostly ad-riddled news sites.
There are a few exceptions to this - AWS and Atlassian come to mind - but the majority of what I see on the internet does actually work more or less fine when you block non-first-party JavaScript and some even when you do that. uMatrix also has handy bundles built-in for certain things like sites that embed YouTube, for example, that make this much easier.
Blocking non-first-party like I do does actually solve this issue for the most part, since, according to the article, only bundles that come from the cdn.polyfill.io domain itself that were the problem.
A PiHole functions has a full DNS server. You can configure it to serve any arbitrary records you like - which is basically how it overrides ad domains to prevent them from loading.
So, if you know the IP address that a particular domain is supposed to route to, you configure the PiHole to respond with that IP address for that domain. So, it doesn't matter that the major DNS servers return junk because your PiHole never asks them.
Serious question, is the president allowed to do this kind of thing unilaterally? I feel like this is an "act of Congress" kind of thing that the president likely has little control over aside from causing delays - like he's already done. Is it really fair to lay this shit as Biden's feet?
If the planes had entered sovereign airspace, sure. They synopsis says the Russians were flying in international airspace, which usually means it's not under the sovereign control of any nation and the Latvians would have had no basis to fire on the Russians.
Personally, I'd love to see the Russians try to stunt their way into someone's airspace and get dick slapped for it, but I doubt that would happen.
