Individuals are free, in their research, to access sources of information that are available to all other market participants, even if that information is usually out of reach for most people. The canonical example is using satellite photos of parking lots to predict earnings calls, i.e. https://newsroom.haas.berkeley.edu/magazine/summer-2019/stoc... . It's still legal because hypothetically anybody could do it. What's not legal is "doing research" by talking to insiders to get information that is not public.
The machine took the photo either way, in fact. Whether you press the instant shutter button, or delayed one. And the film is what responds to the scene.

It seems almost directly analogous to asking the AI for an image that you imagine.

I used to think this way about Reddit, but they added embedded images to posts and it works great. There are many times on this website where people talk about seeing something cool but cannot attach or embed images describing what they are talking about.

Agree, the entire complaint is fascinating reading. I suspect Deel's responses will mostly be "we deny everything," but any counter-arguments they make will also be very interesting.

I have to say, I think if this was just limited to the Slack previewing behavior, it's unlikely it would have been caught. Previewing Slack channels is not particularly unusual or suspicious behavior and many people, probably most, don't even think of it as being something that'd be logged. (I personally didn't think of it until reading this post, but in retrospect, of course it is. Everything is.)

Crossing the line into dumb things like Deel executives personally contacting the spy's subordinates via their personal phone numbers, which he had no way of knowing is like sending up a massive flare of weirdness. I'm not saying loyalty to one's employer is everything, or even particularly important, but if I was randomly headhunted by a C-level from a direct competitor, who I had never spoken to or expressed interest in, I'd be pretty suspicious, and I'd find it underhanded. I might mention it to someone.

Supposing the allegations are substantially true, I wonder why Deel felt comfortable going that far. Maybe underestimation of competition?
It would be more about convincing others you're smart.

How do you reconcile "what's stopping me from hitting you with 5 euro wrench" without the fantasyland non-aggression principle? Without that "social contract" and with absolute personal liberty, any rights/liberties/freedoms exist solely to the extent one themselves can enforce them against the mighty five euro wrench.

No I get that and I know the history too; but that doesn’t mean it didn’t overstay its welcome as far as users are concerned. Speaking as someone that personally was never got hung up over the shape of the charge cable and certainly not for the flimsy e-waste arguments that were put forth: just in terms of transfer rate (at least on the higher end models) and device compatibility, USB-C has been an upgrade that users could have been enjoying 3 to 5 years earlier when USB-C was a bit more widespread.
You don't need constant monitoring if you have extra disks. If your budget is at least a thousand dollars, you can set up 4 data disks and 4 parity disks and you'll be able to survive a ton of failure. That's easily inside small company range.
Interesting idea :)

from the perspective of a dev who does occasional webscraping, I think you need more on your landing page that convinces me why I should use your thing over good old Selenium, which feels pretty "easy" to me — especially if ask an LLM too write me a script. Yes, setting up Selenium can be like 7 lines of python, but that won't make me learn a new tool.

I hope that helps, and good luck

No, there isn't. There is exactly zero nuance in phenomena like death camps, torture camps and the systematic murder and torture of children and so on. If this is something you engage in, then you cannot be expected to be treated as a sane, full person. If you do this, or defend this, then you should expect harsh resistance, because that is a legitimate and ethical response.

It is telling that your fantasy about "Hamas fighters connected to extreme cases of violence and terrorism" helps you accept and tolerate systematic sexual abuse of palestinian men, but you don't draw similar conclusions from the actual, real, bombing of small children starving in haphazard tents. The palestinians do not have the capability to do "extreme violence", they just don't have the materials and tools and suppliers needed, because they suffer under occupation or in refugee camps.

The reason most jewish israelis are fine with the crimes their state is committing is not the palestinians themselves, which have a right to resist the occupation violently.

USB-C pushed whatever it was doing too far; it's now necessary to know what kind of USB-C cable you have. There's one kind for data transfer and a different kind for rapid power draw. And they look exactly the same.
What is this about "planning" stuff? They trained and volunteered as astronauts/cosmonauts, and that still typically entails a military career as well, and military families indeed suffer the absence of loved ones, but that is always part of the collective sacrifice that makes America, well, great... and astronauts are public figures, celebrities, smiling for the camera and making prepared statements at each milestone, and that glory they earned this for this crew was simply following orders and being trained/prepared for all eventualities while the rocket scientists worked out the logistics.

And if you follow JPL robotic missions that far outlast their mission objectives and keep going like Energizer Bunnies, then is it not sort of amazing that the astronauts really suffered no privations or hardships, in terms of food/shelter/clothing/hygiene, by extending their missions and doing useful things up there?

People watch "The Martian" and "Lost in Space" and they can't seem to grasp the careful pre-planning, incident response, resource allocation, and orcestration that goes into everything that's done by space programs.

Space missions include sprawling, branching flow-charts of every contingency they imagined, and they inform the press of mission objectives and a proposed timeline, and then life happens and when glitches come up, they roll with them because they prepared for them. Apollo 13, for example, is categorically different than a space habitation in Earth orbit; as a lone vehicle with limited resources and an isolated path, that Apollo mission ran out of planned contingencies to the point of improvising so many things and returning to fundamentals, preserving human life.

It's the peril of human life that definitely adds drama for us, and the ISS being influenced by geopolitics is categorically different than the nationalist glories of Mercury-Gemini-Apollo vs. the Soviets. But with ISS in Earth orbit, receiving regular resupply missions, being a habitable outpost, it's far different than sending up a vehicle like the Space Shuttle while everyone speculates whether another Saturn V could be constructed in time to rescue the crew because tiles fell off their heat shield.

Speaking of Saturn, I've been peering into Greek/Roman mythology, and learning what Cronus/Saturn did with his children and how Aphrodite/Venus was born, gives new insight into super heavy-lift launch vehicles named after the deity.
Apparently the shift happened around mid-century: https://gazette.com/life/clover-lawns-colorado-expert-shares...
No, the mythos is more like a couple hundred years of WASP gentry dominance and then occasionally they let a Catholic get elected.

> I assume they’ll say he was robbed in 2020 and it’s two consecutive terms he gets.

That's not how it works. 22A says:

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once."

Terms do not need to be consecutive to count toward the two-election limit.

There is, I believe a loophole: he can be elected vice president in 2028, and the president (whoever it may be) can resign, elevating Trump to the presidency again. Not sure if the courts would allow that, but who knows if the courts will be particularly relevant by 2028. Even if they wouldn't, they could elect a puppet president that just signs off on anything Trump wants to do.

Ultimately, though, I think all of this is kinda irrelevant. Trump is a huge problem, certainly, but the playbook for his administration this time was written by other people. JD Vance, for example, could be the one executing that playbook, and do more or less just as much damage to the country. The GOP doesn't need Trump in the future to continue to dismantle our democracy and funnel wealth more and more into the new American oligarchs. They just need to continue to dupe gullible, disaffected voters into supporting destructive politics.
Haha, unfortunately I don't think that was me. At least I don't recall anything about deodorant.
From the very same article:

Q. Did politics influence NASA's decision for you to stay longer in space?

Wilmore: From my standpoint, politics is not playing into this at all. From our standpoint, I think that they would agree, we came up prepared to stay long, even though we plan to stay short. That's what we do in human spaceflight

The Ars article is filled with mixed messages.

When Starliner had issues, the already prepared backup plan was for them to join the crew and stay until "no earlier than February 2025" and be picked up by SpaceX on the crew rotation.

The early February SpaceX crew rotation was then pushed back by SpaceX to late March.

All of that was already "in the pipeline" as plans and contingency plans before Wilmore even left Earth.

Any offer by Musk falls more in the PR by Musk bucket side of the equation, and as an out of band out of scope offer it was likely just rejected due to there already being a rotation in the works ... which Musk had to push back in any case, casting doubt on any SpaceX ability to met any early pickup offer by Musk.
Sure, that's a defensible position, too.

In that case, I suggest finding some obscure German house of nobles and putting them on the throne. Works reasonably ok for the UK.

The last app I worked on was an advanced Harmony/Flow(ex-shotgrid) bridge which let production staff manage Flow's database, upload assets and work on scenes without having to deal much with Flow's horrible UI.

That's just weird Trump spin. It doesn't even make sense. What is this theoretical political win? This entire thing has been an embarrassment for months and months. He left them there at political cost because NASA told him that was what was best. He listened to the technical experts at his own political cost like a president should do.

IANAL, but the distinction is whether you are using the tool as a tool, in which case the code is still your creation, vs. the tool is the creator - and in this case I have to refer to a German definition as it was given to me - Geistiger Schöpfer (lit. spiritual creator), here [0] they define it as "An agent who is responsible for creating a work". Clearly this is something that would have to be decided by courts in some cases.

I work at a company with a mess of a monorepo but the git history is a gold mine. It's fascinating digging back into history and reading why certain decisions are made, or random pitfalls the author discovered, or context that was missing. It absolutely feels like a bit of a detective mystery trying to dig back and figure out if some line of code is a bug that was meant to do something else, or is functioning as intended and the requirements changed, or something else entirely.

Ofc as my org has gotten bigger, we've lost a lot of the discipline around writing good commit messages so now it's just a mess of large code-changes with 1-line "bugfix" explainations :(

Before the inauguration, Tesla was trading at a P/E 30 times bigger than Toyota. Now it's about half that (110).

Some say Tesla shouldn't be valued as a car stock; it should instead be valued as a Tech stock. Well, Tesla traded at a P/E about 4-5 times that of NVIDIA which itself had a high P/E compared to the other Magnificent 7 which in turn have a high P/E compared to the stock market in general.

What exactly is Tesla so great at that they deserve this enormous valuation? Its P/E has gone down to ~110 now, bit this is still incredibly high compared to e.g. NVIDIA which is trading at a P/E of ~40.
The optics of this were really bad

As much as people were saying they were not stranded (and honestly they weren't), having your mission jump from a few days to months is a bummer.

Sure, for a carreer astronaut, that's a great experience. But still, well, if I was sent on a professional mission for 3 days and had to stay a couple of months I would be very annoyed, as cool as the mission was.

Especially as it was due to (all the problems that were endlessly discussed already)
>[W]hat I'm asking is that everyone just do their job.

>I don't need everyone to just do something.

Naked contradiction. Either everyone needs to just do their job or not everyone needs to just do their job.

>Surely "do your job" has to be a reasonable version of this.

There are entire fields of research centered around answering why people don't 'just' do their jobs like good little worker bees in exquisite detail. Some terms I'm aware of that you may find useful to look into, in rough order of how general to the problem they are: Agency problems; the Case theorem; malicious compliance; work to rule; collective bargaining; moral hazard; perverse incentives; adverse selection; rent seeking; regulatory capture. If you want to read up on people trying to design actually working systems from scratch, look into the world of mechanism design, starting with auctions and branching outwards.

>When we're in a situation where many people want change but no one is willing to fight for that change, then we will just keep doing what we've been doing [...]

One could argue that the past ~century of scientific and technological development has probably beat any other 100 year period your could pick hands down along any natural metric. So "what we've been doing" is actually pretty great, and it may not be a good idea to stake such a hugely important enterprise on some newfangled and only theoretical ways of doing things.
Aye, very valid indeed, but you need to go into it aware of the author's biases and read on the basis of that. Doesn't stop a book being (vaguely) true, and certainly doesn't get in the way of enjoyment. Another good example here is the fantastic All the Worst Humans by Phil Elwood[0], can't think of a more unreliable narrator than a PR guy.

I picked Careless People up the other day and it's a hoot. All the very valid caveats aside, it's well worth a read. The author was deeply involved in their international diplomacy, and the stories about FB interacting with governments are _wild_, even with a pinch of salt. Loving it so far.

Same here. I hate having to do business trips to the US. Unfortunately, our most important customer is from there, which forces me to travel once in a while. But the whole experience just sucks.
Despite everything that's happened, I'm still fairly optimistic. While it's true that Trump has been purging people loyal to the constitution, and installing toadies in their places, I still have faith that the military would refuse to support Trump if he were lawfully required to leave office, even if a good chunk of military leadership are Trump loyalists. Officers and enlisted soldiers can still refuse to follow illegal orders, and I do believe that, by and large, our military has plenty of honorable people in it who would do the right thing, and remember that they swear their loyalty to the constitution, not to the president.

And even with purges at the FBI, US Marshals Service, and Secret Service, I have to believe there are still enough people in those organizations that would not stand for Trump illegally remaining in office.

Just because someone is a Republican, it doesn't mean they'd support a lifetime dictator in office.

Of course, if it comes down to the military to ensure the proper and legal transfer of power, we're well and truly screwed.
>That sounds like a plaintiff's perspective when there is no concern for the welfare of the other parent.

It would be more accurate to say that the court prioritises the welfare of the child above that of the parents.

That is, the system (in theory) should enforce that the child recieves the same level of support and standard of living as it would if the parents had not separated.

Judges take a very dim view of parents trying to escape their support obligations, as if they were allowed to do so it ultimately only hurts the child.
