EU governments were completely happy letting it be the case as well. Don't act like they were doing much to try and reduce their reliance on US aid.

Because we have evidence from before Trump was on the political stage that he might be a Russian agent. This has been a topic since the 1980s.

This is something that actually predates his presidential runs.

Of course they do. Then they'll point to the increased fraud as an excuse to disband the entire program.

That means there's exactly a zero percent chance of that happening. Hell it might even be a negative percent just because it's through Trump.

I agree with you on a general level, but the boomers have brought this on themselves by fucking up society for every generation after them, and they continue to do so from positions of power they should have vacated years ago.

Perhaps they should be the ones to start having to justify their continued reliance on social systems and prove they haven't been a net drain instead here. That's what they seem to be trying to constantly claim immigrants are doing, maybe they need to have those questions asked of them instead.

Bed at 7am, up around 2pm.

I work the midnight shift 6:45pm - 4:45am, so it kind of dictates the schedule more than anything else.

I was always a night owl though, so the shift works for me. I'd be up until 4am or later anyway.

Don't forget the public admission from Israel that they want to kill everyone in Gaza that doesn't leave.

Sometimes, it's just for the (digital) paperwork. Especially if it's a larger company, easier to link an ID scan to a sale for legal protection of their sales license.

Bullshit that this is being forced through at all thanks to Putin's stooge in the White House...

But if this is actually how it breaks down:

It outlines joint management and investment in Ukrainian natural resources, with Ukraine contributing 50% of future revenue from minerals, oil, and gas.

Then that's not nearly as bad as I assumed it was going to be. 50% of the revenue is much better than my assumption that Trump was going to want straight up full control of that 50%.

Like, I've been saying it since he was accused, he could very well get off Scott free.

Given the fact that law enforcement has provided evidence and interviews for a bullshit pseudo-documentary without even providing it to the defense, it certainly brings up the possibility that they might think that evidence won't be admissible in court. So they're trying to taint the public, and thus the jury pool, with whatever story they want.

Correction, LLMs being used to automate shit doesn't generate any value. The underlying AI technology is generating tons of value.

AlphaFold 2 has advanced biochemistry research in protein folding by multiple decades in just a couple years, taking us from 150,000 known protein structures to 200 Million in a year.

Ah yes, bringing it back to the price it should still be. Instead of that $5+ bullshit they've been charging for that tiny piece of shit sandwich.

Anyone who has said they were forced to hire a woman, in my experience, has been disingenuous, and upset at the layer of accountability

Or more simply, they're a shit manager who doesn't know how to properly hire candidates and manage a team. I suppose there's also the possibility that they are a shit manager incapable of defending their actions to their management because of incompetence. The embodiment of the Peter Principle.

The type of manager that throws their employees under the bus instead of taking responsibility, managing, and coaching effectively. Which seems to be about 80% of managers, and 95% of middle management.

We really need to make all hacks mandatory disclosure. It's just going to continue happening until companies have to start paying for it.

Mandatory disclosure to law enforcement within 7 calendar days for all companies and organizations. For all non-profit organizations, all political organizations and groups, and any business that provides a service to consumers; public disclosure with notice of actions taken to mitigate in the future, within 30 days. Resulting fines of 1% of total parent company/organization gross revenue, per day past the deadline. Resulting fines split between public education, healthcare, and transit.

If there are similar subsequent successful hacks within 5 years, fines multiply with each event. They either fix their issues, or pay for their incompetence and corner cutting. No business provides a service or product that cannot be replaced by someone else. If it's an effective regulatory monopoly like say a utility, all relevant management (including any sort of board of directors or operations committee) requires replacement after multiple security failures.

Make it fucking hurt, because that's all that these companies understand.

WTF is a Chegg?

My question really, who is buying tesla’s these days, and is that even a noteworthy percentage of musks income these days.

That's a very good question honestly. For anyone that cares to get a rough estimate of purchase date/support before doing something rash (unlikely, but hey, as an owner from 2018 that doesn't like any other reasonably affordable EV options and hates being associated with this dickbag)... Tesla switched from Chrome door handles and camera housings to Black (chrome delete was already by far the most popular aftermarket change, Tesla just started doing it themselves) around the Model Y launch in March 2019. So if you see a Tesla with Chrome handles and camera housings, it predates at least the recent Elon spiral into Fascism fueled by Ketamine™.

Exactly. A prepared statement of what is expected, then nothing else. That's what you do when you don't actually care, but are supposed to.

No they're trying to make it look like an average Joe might be a threat to him. They are having him wear a vest for protection from a potential vigilante, which simply doesn't exist.

Full shackles instead of just handcuffs as well. They're trying to make it look like he's a massive threat to everyone, when he clearly isn't a threat to anyone that isn't aeady a piece of shit profiting off the suffering of millions.

That's exactly the point. They're trying to make it look like people want to kill him. So those that are just following the headlines and pictures make certain assumptions.

Even if they didn't plant it. If they fucked up the arrest and search, the evidence may not be admissible in court at all.

That would explain why they want to get anything related to it out in public any other way they can, like interviews and pseudo-documentary bullshit before even providing related materials to the defense team.
