Amazing what happens with adequate funding. How long until Republicans open some sort of bullshit Congressional investigation that won’t find anything but waste time and money, and as usual try to reduce funding by obviously punitive levels?

Surprisingly fast for a government organization to react to something new.

Oh I’m sure that’s the case for nearly all large social media and network systems based on the US. I’m also willing to bet that for some of these companies, almost no one even knows it’s there, either because a 3 letter agency put it there themselves without being noticed, or an employee implemented it for them without corporate approval.

The US is worried about other countries doing this because we 100% are doing it ourselves. From a national security perspective, it’s basically common sense. Ensure you have access to everything, even if you don’t use it now, you might in the future and it will save time.

A wiretap is different than having something like backdoor access at will for military use.

The problem is that not all of those terminals are being purchased by Ukraine, or supplied through official channels. There are tons of equipment being donated from third parties not directly affiliated, including Starlink terminals.

That’s great if the Ukraine military were the only users in the region, but they aren’t. Regular Starlink service is available in the country, outside military use. Even though the Ukraine military is using it, Starlink is not designed to be a military network. It is a civilian network that just happens to be available and extremely useful in this case, even with the Russian attempts to interfere with signals in the region.

Yeah, but it’s not a government satellite system, it’s an independent Internet provider. It is always possible that the US government/military has access on the back end, but that’s not guaranteed. And since Ukraine is using Starlink, they can’t exactly just disable all access in the region.

Kind of makes sense for Russia to try and use Starlink at least a bit to test the waters and see what sort of Intel the US has access to directly through it.

They do, but Ukraine uses Starlink, so they can’t really disable usage entirely in the contested areas. They could disable the individual terminals, but that would require knowing which ones the Russians were using in the first place.

There are always exceptions. Unlike most politicians who start their career by networking in college to accumulate potential donors later, Sanders was on the frontline of the civil rights fight.

If they haven’t been negotiating already at this point, their intention is to force the union into a strike. For whatever reason these companies/organizations always seem to think that forcing a union to strike works in their favor somehow, despite it always costing millions of dollars and an agreement being made anyway.

Not disagreeing, just pointing out it’s not a traditional copyright claim like so many others we see.

Except this isn’t a copyright case. They’re claiming patent infringement.

If a Spear Phish works that well with individuals outside the official group in question, it should be able to be entered into evidence as proof of expected collaboration/collusion between the parties.

No this is specifically to allow a class action and avoid thousands of individual arbitration claims they would have to pay for, which would undoubtedly cost more than the class action they will settle.

The community figured out how to turn the forced arbitration provision against them.

And that’s WITH existing union agreements already, so you know it was even worse than that before the union was formed in the first place. Unions don’t appear out of nowhere. If a business or industry has a union, it’s because the workers were being screwed so hard it became necessary.

I’m sure he was at one point, then as he began losing money on terrible ideas, because he’s an idiot, he started lashing out into any random crap he could to try and stabilize it. Taking out dozens of foreign loans with inflated numbers, and constantly ending up underwater in those, needing more to further the process, like a debt-based ponzi scheme where no one actually makes any money in the end, not even the banks.

He managed to bankrupt a casino. They basically print money, yet he managed to run one right out of business.

Because he’s not actually a billionaire.

Lists of rich people like Forbes primarily use number approved by the individuals through various means. We know for a fact thanks to the recent fraud case in NY that the Trump Org regularly inflated nearly every number about their business, especially real estate. They regularly inflated the value of property for things like loans and underestimated the value for taxes.

Trump is well known for requesting people not question his finances in collaborative events like his Comedy Central roast where he can control it.

People with actual money doesn’t care about that. And that’s just the tip of the monetary iceberg. We’ve learned a lot since Trump decided to run for President the first time. It was probably the worst thing he could have done to keep his grifts running smoothly.

Not really bad if you use a power-only cable. If the data pins aren’t even wired up, can’t move anything other than power.

Not sure if that works with USB-C at anything other than legacy 500mA power draw though, probably not since the device can’t communicate for what it supports.

The Chinese are aware of what a drydock is right? You don’t have to build in the water.

It was everywhere when the process first started. But like most news after a couple days it gets replaced. Especially with all the other crazy shit in modern society.

You know guys, I’m starting to think what we heard about Altman when he was removed a while ago might actually have been real.
