So the profit cap has been removed and the non-profit has been kicked out of the control seat. Sounds like they’re taking off all the safeties in the name of money.
Goes to show the money always wins, and if AGI comes true, humanity will pay forfeit.
From a pro-privacy standpoint changing your passwords to something you can’t remember is absolutely the right thing to do to prevent yourself from being compelled to give up any passwords…
But in light of him being a government official tampering with his government issued phone to “accidentally” prevent it being used to investigate official wrongdoing, that act becomes highly suspicious, and (in the FBI’s shoes) would only give more incentive to hack into his phone.
My first instinct is to say “No shit Sherlock”, of course people who get paid more for their projects can afford to contribute more time to them…
but I do understand that having empirical documented evidence of something, even of it should be common sense, is really important, cause common sense isn’t as common as people think it is (especially when a lot of people in power seem to quite intentionally lack it)
Man that bird was living a straight up nightmare.
And from the comments I saw it gets worse for this bird - apparently after the bird flew off, the scientist who captured this call played it back to check they had recorded it properly, only for the bird to come back and start calling again.
These scientists accidentally played the cruelest prank imaginable on this poor bird, and it was likely not smart enough to ever realise it.
Like imagine living years of your life desperately calling out to someone, anyone, and you finally hear someone - you desperately rush over, but there’s there’s nobody there. You’re sure you heard someone, but there’s nothing, except you.
Aw, they look so cute together, like a cat looking after its kitten
Fox was not a name I expected to see on there given all they’ve done to supercharge the right-wing, but I suppose even Murdoch isn’t crazy enough to actually think that it is a good idea to put Trump back in office
Image manipulation has always been a thing, and there are ways to counter it…
But we already know that a shocking amount of people will simply take what they see at face value, even if it does look suspicious. The volume of AI generated misinformation online is already too damn high, without it getting more new strings in it’s bow.
Governments don’t seem to be anywhere near on top of keeping up with these AI developments either, so by the time the law starts accounting for all of this, the damage will be long done already.
What’s the point in making something illegal to patent if you can just side-step it by a technicality and enforce a patent anyway?
If the point was to protect food security, then make it illegal to patent regardless of how the breed was created - sorry if you spent more breeding them artificially, food security for the people should be more important than money.
The Tories were in power for almost a decade and a half, only interupted by their own internal power struggles, and the best thing they could come up with to “help” Asylum seekers was the racist and inhumane Rwanda scheme.
Yet Labour repeals that and suddenly they’re the bad guys for not being able to undo over a decade of bad decisions in a month.
Conservatives can’t see past their own racist noses.
Damn, I would’ve expected this kind of rhetoric from “ReformUK” or one of the other alt-right parties, but to hear this from someone meant to be representing labour is horrid. Such little empathy towards these people fleeing the horrors of their home countries - deport people like her to Rwanda then see how they feel about what they’re advocating for.
Edit: Also, glad to see a new alternative frontend for Xwitter since Nitter got nuked out of existence.
Too many people end up in debt spirals with these BNPL companies because there’s no consistent safeguards against it, so we absolutely should be regulating them better. We shouldn’t be leaving financially vulnerable people to the wolves.
Absolutely disgusting. Poor nurses trying to save lives and they’re paid back by having these racist EDL cunts throwing rocks at them. Should get Keir Starmer send these pieces of shit over to Rwanda instead, and see how long they last.
As @theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com said, these are the same ignorant arses that brought us Brexit, and continue to make our country look like an absolute laughing stock on the world stage.
While completely daft on part of the passport office, I suppose this is a cautionary tale about naming your kids after popular TV characters (particularly those with unique names). Turns out it can cause you a spot of trouble
Wow a Republican with a spine, I didn’t think those existed anymore
“If it cannot, it risks losing much of the invaluable investment, tax revenue, and entrepreneurial spirit that they contribute.”
Ah yes, because the rich are truly the most generous class of them all…
They invest in initiatives designed to make them more money, or to reduce what they pay in taxes.
They pay the bare minimum possible taxes after playing around with so many loopholes it would make your brain hurt.
And who could forget that entrepreneurial spirit!
It’s the same trickle-down economics argument as always. If the rich leave because they’re actually being made to pay their way, the economy would disintegrate because we’d lose businesses like “Arton Capital” that…
“empowers high net worth individuals and families to become global citizens by investing in a second residence or citizenship”
What a tragedy it would be to lose businesses like these! /s
Also, is it not slightly biased to have the person the majority of your article about millionaires wanting to leave the UK quotes be the CEO of this company above who makes their money helping millionaires leave the UK?
That’d be like me getting an ice-cream man to discuss people wanting more ice-cream during the summer. Like even if it was true, you couldn’t have picked a less biased source?
Sounds great until you realise these rules, with respect to POWs, are broken so often that they’re barely worth the paper they’re written on.
As far as the companies go, their lack of resources is an entirely self-inflicted problem, because they’re won’t invest in increasing those resources, like more IT infrastructure and staff. It’s the same as many companies that keep terrible backups of their data (if any) when they’re not bound to by the law, because they simply don’t want to pay for it, even though it could very well save them from ruin.
The crowdstrike incident was as bad as it was exactly because loads of companies had their eggs in one basket. Those that didn’t recovered much quicker. Redundancy is the lesson to take from this that none of them will learn.
I think what @riskable@programming.dev was saying is you shouldn’t have multiple mission critical systems all using the same 3rd party services. Have a mix of at least two, so if one 3rd party service goes down not everything goes down with it
As someone who has worked with academics, the more specialised the person, the less common sense they seem to hold onto.
As such, if this was outside their PhD specialisation, then it’d absolutely make sense that this wouldn’t occur to them.
