Wait, WTF? He’s engaged but the woman he’s misrepresenting as his wife in the photo is somebody other than his fiance? What, did she get creeped out and refuse to do it or something?
Don’t get me wrong, the whole thing is a big WTF, but that aspect of it is even more WTF-ish than the rest!

As an engineer he approach problems with a practical to find the solution, but sometimes there are no practical solutions and people just need comfort/inspiration from their leaders.
Reminds me of that time on Star Trek: Lower Decks when Rutherford, the engineer, tried to switch careers:
The annoying thing is that they held us hostage for our free labor, but the results are proprietary for Google’s benefit only.
That training data ought to be forced to be made freely available to the public, since we’re the ones who actually created it.
I mean, If we’re talking about imposing vigilante justice on criminal corporate execs, I guess I’m down with that too.
No it is not the correct answer! The correct answer is to put the CEOs who perpetrate this criminal shit in prison for millions of counts of hacking and stalking!
Merely shrugging and implementing a technological workaround is not an appropriate response to someone perpetrating a felony against you!
These are criminal violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Jail the motherfucking felon CEOs!
None of that is a substitute for government regulation. They must be forced to comply.
Giuliani did not respond to an order to explain why he should not be disbarred
Ted Goodman, a spokesperson for Giuliani, called the decision “an absolute travesty and a total miscarriage of justice.”
I am sick and tired of these nakedly duplicitous shitstains whining about whining about how allegedly unfair it all is after they COULDN’T BE BOTHERED TO FUCKING SHOW UP AT THE HEARING!
On one hand, that’s true. On the other hand, a person should only need exactly one passphrase, which is the one used to unlock their password manager. Every other password should be randomly-generated and would only contain space characters by chance.
NIST generally knows what they’re doing
For now, at least. Could change after Inauguration Day.
That guy lasted way more steps than I would’ve after the box of them got dumped on the treadmill. I would’ve stepped on one and immediately hurled myself off into the pool.
Or, make a full collecting and recycling tax to be paid by those uncaring clients.
No, that’s not good enough. “Right to repair” is kind of an unfortunate name, because it really shouldn’t be just about repair. My property rights include a right to modify, too, and letting manufacturers off the hook by doing first-party replacements instead of facilitating work by third-parties is not sufficient to protect that right!
But even SBF “only” got 25 years, which is still a Hell of a lot lighter than “choked to death by the cops.”
It’s a sad indictment of the American legal system that people advocate for, and are excited at the prospect of, mere civil penalties for things that are actual crimes, not just torts. Why do we have so much trouble applying real consequences with teeth to people that actually deserve them?
These are criminal charges. The correct course of action isn’t to sue them; it’s to lock them the fuck up!
Frankly, if you’ve got untrustworthy software with that level of access and a threat model dangerous enough to throw out the hard drive, you’d probably better throw out the whole computer instead. In addition to the hard drive controller, malicious code could persist in the UEFI firmware, the graphics card firmware, or even in the Intel IME/AMD PSP subsystems.
That is a very long article. Do you or @[email protected] have a TL;DR for the part specifically about why a state that reflects the will of the working class would accept the existence of billionaires?
I understand the whole “China is theoretically Marxist” thing, but since we’re talking about Chinese billionaires, clearly something hasn’t gone quite to plan!
Also, I was really more interested in implying a comparison to America and how it should handle the same sort of problem under a capitalist framework rather than trying to give China advice, but re-reading my comment I think I left that connection too obscure.
You know what’s really fucked up? The concept of “corporate personhood” that Citizens United depends upon was invented wholesale by a goddamn clerk! The Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co. decision itself didn’t actually address the issue; the clerk just wrote a headnote “assuming” that the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment applied to corporations for ~reasons~ and subsequent courts treated as if it were gospel.
