I wonder how many of those unnecessary pings are from data collection efforts. We should have protections that prevent our financial data from being sold but I guess if women's health data isn't protected then its not surprising.

According to the article, the over 200 Venezuelans sent to CECOT (252 total prisoners - you can find other articles that state all are Venezuelan) were transferred to Venezuela and some people incarcerated in Venezuela - 10 Americans and an unspecified number of political prisoners - were exchanged.

According to NILC, there were at least 280 people sent from the US to CECOT so not all people have been released.

Seconding the Organic Maps recommendation. They added address lookup earlier this year (or late last year?) and it does everything I need now.

Still room for improvement on search, looking up restuarants by a general type, like BBQ doesn't turn up BBQ places that don't have BBQ in the name for example. The only other feature I think people will miss is reviews, but you can at least search that online without using another map.

Moore's law is kinda still in effect, depending on your definition of Moore's law. However, Dennard Scaling is not so computer performance isn't advancing like it used to.

Typically the dissenting members are in competitive districts. So if the policy works well they can claim responsibility by association, but if it goes wrong then they can say they didn't vote for it.

It's strategic voting for reelection while still accomplishing their agenda.
