We do something similar on one of my teams. Instead of going through the entire codebase we have it review merge requests for bugs. It's like having a 10x developer in code reviews. Ultimately it's up to humans to accept our reject the merge request.

Not the way manned missions should be tested. Accept the cost of many test flights in actual space with proposed modifications before putting astronauts on board.

Submission + - 'Kill Switch'—Iran Shuts Down Musk's Starlink For First Time (forbes.com)
Thelasko writes: We have not seen this before. Iran’s digital blackout has now deployed military jammers, reportedly supplied by Russia, to shut down access to Starlink Internet. This is a game-changer for the Plan-B connectivity frequently used by protesters and anti-regime activists when ordinary access to the internet is stopped..
“Despite reports that tens of thousands of Starlink units are operating inside Iran,” says Iran Wire, “the blackout has also reached satellite connections.” It is reported that about 30 per cent of Starlink’s uplink and downlink traffic was (initially) disrupted," quickly rising “to more than 80 per cent” within hours.

On one hand, insider trading is unfair. On the other hand, prediction markets provide societal value because of the predictions they make. They rely on participants having some sort of edge to improve the predictions.
This bet everyone is complaining about isn't just insider trading, it's also a national security leak. I think that is a larger concern.

Most hotels are independently owned. Just because it says "Marriott" on the sign does not mean the hotel is owned and operated by Marriott. If the hotel owners don't want to provide these perks, these plans mean nothing.
