@realDonaldTrump on Mar 04, 2025, 7:30 AM: "All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter." (https://archive.is/u7ISX)

There will be a world war within the next 3 years, not 10.

“ Sec. 7. Rules of Conduct Guiding Federal Employees’ Interpretation of the Law. The President and the Attorney General, subject to the President’s supervision and control, shall provide authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch. The President and the Attorney General’s opinions on questions of law are controlling on all employees in the conduct of their official duties. No employee of the executive branch acting in their official capacity may advance an interpretation of the law as the position of the United States that contravenes the President or the Attorney General’s opinion on a matter of law, including but not limited to the issuance of regulations, guidance, and positions advanced in litigation, unless authorized to do so by the President or in writing by the Attorney General.”

This does not bode well for that country’s democracy.

Yes. However, given what we apparently are doing at hn, the first part is more relevant to the hn readers.

These are both flagged.

You wouldn’t need to cite specific scientific papers when explaining common knowledge and the very basic laws of nature.

Alternative for the AI service provider.

It is fairly obvious that a business does not need to show a profit for its upmost management or owners to get/remain filthy rich through it.

Loss of smell

Financial problems including getting scammed

Sleep problems including acting out one’s dream while dreaming

Personality changes including becoming more withdrawn from one’s social circle

Driving difficulties including getting frequent scratches on the car and avoiding driving

> How the heck is this not criminal fraud?

It probably is; however, it's probably also not being enforced, since no government agency in the US seems to have the teeth or the will to protect consumer rights to the level they are elsewhere.

Also, when they do get a bit too willing, their regulatory activities get shut down or their funding cut because they become a little too visible in the public eye (who has a negative view of government agencies and federal employees in general). Very few government agencies have the courage to take actions that might end up on Washington Post etc.

Index it to CPI and that'll be that.

> I’m not in a high risk group and I personally won’t change my behaviour because of this, just as I didn’t for Ebola or Polio.

That's irrelevant.

> If the real work is done remotely then the work done at office isn't as important.

If the real work is done, remotely or at work, then importance is irrelevant.

> Any person in their right mind will

Hmm..

You will surely get the data by this time next year.

If you survive.

I saw it just now. My apologies.

> You misunderstand what all cause mortality means.

It seems I actually missed the mention of "all-cause" while reading the comment.

> because that way counting is much more unambiguous: dead is dead

Unrealistically low death stats coming from Turkey compared to cases easily refute that argument.

Dead is dead, unless the state finds a way to claim that it was not a COVID19 dead.

I wonder what the impact of this will be on AMD.

From these,

> ... I ended up ... neither a zero-day ...

> Realizing everyone in the class would fail, the professor changed the grade of this project to only account for 30% of the grade.

> I ... disregarding the rest of the busy work for the class.

It sounds like OP could not find a zero day (old_grade=0) and did not do any other homework (new_grade=0), therefore should have received max(0, 0), but received a C.

> I mentioned bugs and lack of testing in a polite way, also offered how test system could be designed to automate testing.

Did the same a while ago, with my CEO. Instantly removed from overseeing the biggest project we have in the works. Also removed from all communications about the project and privileges to view project-related documents revoked.

> it can stop after 3months

life?

They are banned at my work. We are told to wear trousers.

Same with DC

> hey refused to share with me the original manufacturer of the laptop

My experience differs significantly.

Right after I bought mine, I opened a ticket for the model information. They provided me the full model code and hyperlink to maintenance manual with part numbers.

This was a few months ago.

I do not think the sarcasm is deserved here. Debian is committed to free software. You can find a set of guidelines they implement in their social contract website under the heading "The Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG)" at https://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines

A substantial user and developer base prefers Debian precisely because of these Guidelines. Inclusion of free software (as-is) that automatically installs non-free binaries would violate almost all of these guidelines.

Fire can actually go down and spread underground.

I still am not. Could you explain?
