Oh, well done, sir. Perfect way to illustrate my point.
Have we gone too far along the toxic reactions? It seems the devs made a polite request, even if they really shouldn't have done. No threats of penalty or a law suit. Yes, they were wrong, but to excoriate them in the manner that appears to have happened is a toxic over-reaction to an (apparently) mis-guided mistake. It's like handing out a five year prison sentence for a jay-walking misdemeanour.
The AC's comments jibe with my own training on the subject, so you can take your assumptions and stuff 'em where the sun don't shine.
No thanks; there's no telling what disease I might catch!!
Given the detailed description of procedure, I think you're making a very shaky assumption that the Anonymous Coward is an 'average person' in this field. I think they're much more likely to be 'relevant authorities'-adjacent, so have a much better grasp upon chain-of-custody and rules of evidence handling than you do.
Let's not descend to that level. We can be better; we should be better; we must be better than that.
You're ignoring the other option: the big red button marked 'off'.
The court victory in favour of Afroman has been covered on the BBC. Calling Ms. Streisand to the lobby. Can Ms. Streisand please attend the lobby!
It’s sheer hubris to think they can maintain information control in a country this massive and diverse, and there will be some useful entertainment value in watching them set money on fire trying.Anyone remember how well that turned out for the Soviet Union... no? Just us that actually learn from history then.
If it weren't for this fuck-up, I'd never had heard of the WBC, so there's that I suppose.
No, this administration simply don't care whether they suffer in silence or not, providing they suffer. OTOH they might well prefer to hear the screams as that'll indicate that suffering is happening. Which is what they want.
No shit, Sherlock!
And if the importers do manage to get their $166 billion back, who's going to distribute it to the companies and customers who paid over the odds for their goods? So what started as a tax grab by the administration to pay for tax breaks for the super rich will eventually become a short-term tax that stays with the corporate entities that managed to squeeze the funds out of the people. Good job, little government critters!
... perhaps you would like to enlighten the rest of the class?
Yes, this is how we should be using AI... as a tool to achieve more. It doesn't replace us, it assists us. The policy at my place of work is that AI tool usage is acceptable (though not mandatory), but the employee still takes 100% responsibility for the output in their name. So if you let AI fck up... you fcked up, and YOU will find out. Like you, MathFox, I've used AI to save typing time, and make suggestions on how to solve problems, including diagnosing some of the more esoteric (to put it politely) error messages from XML/XSLT processors (for example). But all the code from my computer is still committed in my name, and I'm the one that is in my periodic reviews, not AI.
I expect a mix of these strategies will play out: 1) rebrand, 2) found new companies with (most of?) the same partners, 3) try to power through regardless. 1 & 2 are functionally very similar, though 1 carries more risk of "didn't you know, they used to be ?". 3 relies upon the lack of googling skills in their future client base.
Because juries are soooo effective at justice, and supreme courts so immune from internal political influence (Justice Roberts, anyone?) as to be credible checks & balances upon anything. The ICC's mission is to try to find and prosecute the worst of the worst. Right now, Hegseth and Trump fit that bill, just as much as an 'tin pot dictator' putting down public protest and dissent with violence.
You're comparing the wrong things. Starship isn't comparable to Apollo, but to the much more experimental Redstone & Mercury programs that came before it. And Starship hasn't killed anyone yet, unlike Apollo.
By the prosecutorial branch of the govern..... oh!
No worries
Don't worry, Cassidy will fall on his feet into some nice cushy job in the private sector. So it's all good. /s
