The courts aren't corrupt. The system is corrupt. It starts all the way at the bottom and works its way up thru backdoor agreements and good-ole-buddy networks.

These days, discrediting America just involves share presidental tweets and white house posts.

Somewhen out there, some time-traveler is looking at their schedule and thinking, "Crap, I'm going to be late. Wait, I'm a time-traveler!" and just grabbing the nearest disaster agent they can find.

Good for them. They created a version that they like. I read the release notes for the vim release. Battleship wasn't listed as being vibe coded. it was listed as being an example of how to use the newer Vim Script 9 features.

Steps:
1) Country sabotages education system and defunds projects that promote critical thinking and job skills.
2) Country sues everyone it can for having DEI programs because they don't hire what the country thinks are the most qualified people.
3) Company implements a hiring program that excludes a population of people from a country with document issues in education quality.
4) Country sues company because it doesn't have a DEI program to hire unqualified people for a job.

Yeah, over simplified but I think it's funny.

Correction: "what the Ex-manager was responsible for".

Ex-manager fired but retained as contractor. Has control over management work still. Doesn't renew another employee's contract. Employee gets fired because the contract is over. Issue is with the company not checking on what the Ex-manager was fired for. Seriously, leaving critical work in the hands of an fired employee was the issue. The computer was doing what a Person in the same role would do, just faster.

Someone created a device which *has* to engage in active surveillance to force a device which may or may not be engaged in surveillance off it's currently connected network.

I wonder if the device can be configured to kick itself off the network? Someone could bring a 2nd one in, plug it up, and let it actively scan for the 1st device then keep kicking it off.

Apparently, he sent a letter which caused some people to be concerned.

From what I've read on the StarDem website (can't find the source for their info), the Wicomico County State's Attorney brought up the issues. From the LATimes article, people were aware of the books before all this.

IMHO, I think there's something else going on here which caused a lot of people to become really concerned. I don't get the feeling it was an overreaction but involves something that they can't share for various legal reasons.

My suggestion, wait and see what is happening.

I think everyone freaking out about an "Author" being taken away needs to take a step back, remove the "books" from the picture, and see if their reactions are justifiable because every article I found about the issue is going nuts about censorship but very few seems to be approaching it objectively.

Mandate that all foreign workers have to be paid the exact same salary that a domestic worker would be paid to do the same job for the same knowledge/experience level. Watch the requests for foreign workers disappear and lawsuits appear because the govt is stepping on the rights of slave hol...er... tech companies to hire workers.

Dammit!

If they collapse the probability wave function and it results a universe collapse, I'll be seriously depressed.. Practically crushed about it..

Nothing in the article has to be done by a living person. He could just send a corpse and still meet the goal of getting a person there, land, and return the body.

Google is only using metadata and not actual server data for their analysis to determine threats to server stability, right?

I would prefer a Tax by Mileage. The more road you use, the more you pay to support it. The less road you use, the less you have to pay to support it. Then, provide tax credits against federal or state income taxes so as to not kill off long distance travel.

Yes.. because enforcing the law should result in a net payoff for the people tasked with enforcement.
