well sorry for the aggression but it pisses me off when people let vendor shirk their responsibilities because it is "too hard" or "too much work", Apple makes literally 3/4 of a billion dollars a DAY in profit, they can deal with the workload through better AI and handling on their part or more investment in security personnel.

why the fuck should the responsibility fall on the bug reporter. It either is a bug or not, the security implications and classification are for the developers to determine, yes a security researcher may wish to point out the security implications or demonstrate but really it is NOT their responsibility to do so, it is Apples to correctly review and classify the bug.

I have never seen anyone, democrat of otherwise defending Pelosi doing this shit. However, pieces of shit constantly defend Trump doing it and use whataboutism like you to claim it is ok because someone else did it first.

doesn't matter, even random garbage from the president is bankable and tradeable. you can make millions betting on what words he will say next.

Apple Engineer : we are getting too many bugs reported from people due to their use of AI.
Apple Exec : Easy fix let's only let them submit 5 a month.
Apple Engineer : errrr yeah sure that will fix it. rolling eyes sarcasticly.

6 months later
Apple Exec : Why the FUCK are all these bugs being released on the internet for our OS
Apple Engineer : Because you told us to not let people submit them to us....

-if customers of Microsoft like Microsoft don't pay to make line go up?

exactly it is a powerful tool that can save lives, all it needs is proper oversight and auditing. With that in place even most bad actors would not attempt dodgy shit as knowing someone is checking on you is a powerful incentive to do the right thing. I hate the idea of being monitored, but if used appropriately it is definitely a positive, just you cannot trust the people actually using it to also be the oversight.

why would you give them the role of auditing and controlling this? To do it right you give it to a central authority that doesn't have local politics at play that can review every search and the associated proof required to justify it while giving that authority no ability to do searches themselves.

The problem is there is ZERO reason to accept any of this behaviour when it could be so easily audited and controlled if done right. Obviously flock are a bunch of incompetent arseholes that only care about money. The consequence should be serious regulation to come down on their heads like a ton of bricks

the prototype seems balanced with a simple makeshift ballast https://news.northwestern.edu/... i guess to distribute the mass in a way to preserve the visual effect of spin. clever! i guess suspending a static part from a gyro in the center of spin shouldn't be too difficult ... e.g. a ccd sensor could be very small, still hard to detect. the thing is quite noisy, though ...

"It is I, vaguely less visible than you'd otherwise suspect man! I shall sneak by their cameras while hoping they aren't paying attention that much. For if they do glance at the cameras they'll have to be paying more attention than usual to see me, haha!"

nutrition is a staggeringly difficult subject, the very basics are simple and there is a (reasonably) ample margin for what works or is needed to sustain life, we have millions of years experience there, but optimizing beyond that is far too complex for our current ability to tackle with any rigor due to the sheer amount of variables in everything involved: in the diet (composition, quality, processing), in the subject (genetics, conditon, behavior) and in the environment. something that works in isolation or in a small sample might have a very different result in a different context or combined with other factors, plus unexpected consequences since the human body is sort of a ... complex living ecosystem.

so yes, most nutrition guidelines, even if honest, are essentially guesswork, it's "may" by "definition" and beyond the very basics you will probably never see a guideline that has 100% confidence, and a lot of them turn out to be bogus.

however overeating isn't good for you, that much is known. so don't consume more protein than you need, simple! what amount is that? no fucking clue, all i can say that a ratio that works optimally for everybody all the time most likely doesn't exist ...

so should desktops and laptops in public and private offices under ms corporate capture ...

i could try if there were a "ongoing military incursion into bhutan", but there isn't any. you could talk about encroachment.

now can you possibly justify the us/israel's military action in ... ok, forget about it.

i know that i know nothing - plato.

can you now describe my "very strong emotional opinion"? just for fun?

tawian is china, even the us admits this.

as would be mine if i were china. how would you like to have chinese military bases in the caribbean or greenland?

wonder why that would be the case ...

that's a good idea. easier said than done, though.

alas, they seem to disagree with that analysis.

because it is not in their interest, war is costly and china extends its influence through trade and agreements, that's what belt and road is all about. indeed, western powers are trying to disrupt that which creates friction and potential flash points, but china has shown lately great restraint in dealing with those disruptions. that's not to say that a military response is not in the cards, but china is definitely not a belligerent power.

i will avoid comparisions with the us and the whole gang of western ("post-")colonial states because there simply is no comparision at all, and you would ofc call "whataboutism!". and ... we would come full circle, that's where this conversation started.

tibet? that's about the only war in the last century where china proactively sought military action (with national security reasons too, but there was an ideological component). every other conflict was either to protect national security, reaction to aggression or minor engagements.

how so?

what a missed an opportunity to mention mordor! no, seriously, what is this nonsense? sorry to put it this so bluntly, but you don't know fuck all about "chinese worldview". i probably don't either, but i'm not gonna fall into these stupid claims. "the sword of the emperor" here is exactly the same nonsense as "the soviet committee/empire (oxymoron)": rancid old slogans you cling on to dismiss any attempt of comprehending objective reality in a complex, evolving world, to shut off your analytical capability and uphold some ideological trope no matter what. no wonder you think "iran is being rolled up" in the face of overwhelming evidence of the contrary. i'm always surprised by how otherwise intelligent people (like you seem to be) are entertained or misled by this idedological bs.
