The waters are pretty muddy here. Tangential to whether Meta can be compelled to lie is the unanswered question of whether such compulsion is even required. For all we know Meta would be perfectly happy with that kind of arrangement since it would give them cover for that thing they already wanted to do but got told they weren't allowed (ie, Cambridge Analytica). Maybe they're not afraid to lie to a court because even if the truth came out they can just use national security as a cover story and failing that buy some Trump pardons.

If they are breaking encrypted chats under an NSA gag order (quite probable) then they are required to lie, even in court or any (public) statements to the FBI. Homeland Security has special courts just for this kind of stuff but nothing that goes on in them is made public. So even if cooperation with the government is proven absolutely nobody is going to jail except the whistleblower.

Honestly, I thought everyone knew this stuff. It's why "canaries" used to be a thing.

Long story short: nothing you send on the internet is truly encrypted unless you do it yourself and even then there are no guarantees. Poisoning encryption standards is also also a known thing the government has been caught doing more than once. Encryption might stop your neighbour snooping on your WIFI but when it comes to what governments are capable of, all bets are off.

Having said that they're not going waste valuable resources like secret encryption backdoors going through your browser history and etsy shopping list. You need to be a pretty big fish for most of this to actually matter. I think a lot of people confuse capability with intent.

Seriously, why is anyone using Win 11 when you can get all the best bits of Win 7 for free? I can't think of a single feature added to Windows in the last decade that I actually need. Wine/Proton already runs every game I care about and doesn't have a linux port anyway.

> If it turns out that Napster knew the fundraise wasn't happening and it benefited from misrepresenting itself to investors or acquirees, it could face much bigger problems. That's because doing so could be considered securities fraud."

It's not "could be", it just is. Manipulating investors through false information is the literal textbook definition of securities fraud. Whether they are guilty is an entirely seperate issue from the meaning of "benefited from misrepresenting itself to investors". That's like saying "this thing that weighs a lot could be considered heavy".

"We are working on something for LE [law enforcement] but it's ," Daniel Heinen, the founder of Graylark and GeoSpy, wrote in a message to the GeoSpy community Discord in July.

So we're just not finishing our sentences now?

Just chuck the whole thing and create universal support for script type="text/x-python".

Then I only need to know one programming language.

> Similarly, the ten most prolific rightsholders, including the BPI, HarperCollins, and VIZ Media, are responsible for 40% of all reported links

Sad and disappointed to learn that VIZ Media has no relation to VIZ Magazine; home of Johnny Fartpants and the Fat Slags. Would have laughed my arse off if VIZ was among of the top pirated content worldwide. Anyway, stay classy Internet!

We just don't know what specific justification they want to try their luck with. If Nintendo could sue them for leaving the toilet seat up it would be that.

I donated a pair of old sneakers to charity last night. I kept asking myself if anyone would really want them.

Probably how Microsoft felt.

Also, no data migrations. If you want to rollback "schema" changes but keep the data (or vice-versa) I assume you're SOL

Number one issue for spreadsheet reliability (other than Microsoft) is lack of any reasonable source management. I assume most spreadsheets offer some basic change auditing but nothing like the pipelines for code management, feature development, merging, deployment and automated testing you would have in any large software project hosted on Github/Gitlab/CodeCommit etc.

Frankly until you solve that you're not going to make any inroads into quality control and preventing garbage edits.

Fun fact, I own 5 Logitech F710 gamepads, the kind used in the sub. If anyone is going to implode it's me.

Additional fun fact: One of them seems to drift to the right and regularly lose connection so I can totally believe the sub just drove around in circles until it imploded.

It's not minor. I estimate about 80% of applicants doing my companies assessment complete it using AI. Also the applicants aren't always job hunters. Many are hackers trying to get a foothold in company networks.

They probably make an accessory just for piloting sub sims but a bit on the expensive side so I don't blame them for using something cheaper

The story was called "Trucks" which became the movie "Maximum Override". He also wrote Christine and Duel.

I think it's interesting that the master of horror is less terrified of clowns and demons than he is of ... traffic. It does make sense though since in the US cars maul 50,000 people a year and demons and clowns kill about 100 people max.
