- A lithium deposit valued at $1.5 trillion has been discovered in Oregon. (Earth)
Well, that's Portland sorted out.
Tech News
- Mexico has sued Google over naming the Gulf of America the Gulf of America on American maps after the American government voted to name it the Gulf of America. (The Guardian)
Yes, that's sure to work.
- A Florida state bill requiring backdoors for minors' social media accounts has quietly died... But not before passing the state Senate. (Tech Crunch)
Digital rights group the Electronic Frontier Foundation called the bill "dangerous and dumb." Security professionals have long argued that it is impossible to create a secure backdoor that cannot also be maliciously abused, and encryption backdoors put user data at risk of data breaches.
State legislatures tend to be dangerous and dumb. Sometimes their worst instincts are restrained. Sometimes you get California.
- What's new in Swift 6.2? (Hacking with Swift)
Things. I haven't really looked at Swift since I tested it against the PyPy Python compiler and found it about 0% faster.
- AI use damages professional reputation. (Ars Technica)
As it should.
Musical Interlude
Song is Lone Digger by Caravan Palace. Anime is various.
Disclaimer: To be fair anime is usually various.

California is basically nonsensical. Period.
It's governor and congresspeople are idiots. Democrats, but even worse.
I guess they're socialists but, mostly, I think they are just no-nothing morons spouting idiocy that they hear.

Someone did a pretty good RWBY AMV of Lone Digger, back before RWBY, and then Rooster Teeth, went off the rails.

The Green Guardians of Oregon Governance will permit mining for the lithium deposits about the same time the California High Speed Iron Horse project carries its first passenger(i.e., never)

It's probably true that Oregon will never let a large lithium mine open. Even though that it's hard to describe just how remote a wasteland that area is. The last time I drove that route, there were places where it was literally an hour plus of driving without seeing a single other car, or even any sign of human existence other than the road itself. Not a power line, fence, gate, sign... nothing.
But if Oregon won't allow a mine to open there, Greater Idaho might.
