Is there a trial for that? I thought that he wouldn’t be tried for that due to the terms of his extradition.

As a child, I saw the Disney documentary numerous times (reruns on Sunday nights; there were only 3 TV channels). I believed the story into adulthood, having no reason to believe that Disney would fake a nature documentary.

Yes. If you don’t want to answer because it might be incriminating, then you have to assert your fifth amendment privileges; you can’t lie and say that you don’t remember.

But it IS their business because believe it or not it costs a lot of money to operate a video on demand service, and creators don’t pay YouTube.

YouTube ads are very intrusive. But YouTube also censors and plays games with search and with promoting or hiding videos; they claim it is to maximize advertiser engagement but effectively is viewpoint discrimination. I have largely switche

I always thought the right strategy would be to have a sellers agent contract that was tiered, eg agent gets 1-2% of selling price up to average comps, and then 20% of excess selling price over that. Maybe a bonus or penalty for timing, to

This was amazing work. I consistently underestimate what generative AI can do. Also: I think you just scared the daylights out of a lot of mobile game developers and inspired many more.

“I don’t remember” is still perjury if you can be reasonably expected to remember or if evidence can be provided that you remembered very recently.

Couldn’t disagree more. Nobody engineers software like spacecraft companies- that doesn’t mean that no one else gives a shit, it just means that cost constraints are real things. Also, the demands on spacecraft software are trivial (“move t

The article itself has spelling and grammar mistakes in it. The lack of attention to detail does not build confidence in the content. I was taught about the hydrophilic/hydrophobic nature of soaps and detergents in university decades

There are two fundamental problems with social media. The first is the ad-driven revenue model as you pointed out. The other is the dopamine economy that is driven by getting your stuff to have “engagement”, which is financially reinforced

Maybe I didn’t express myself well. To Jack Dorsey, making it easy for street vendors to take payments was a worthy problem. He didn’t go scouring all over doing “ideation”; he saw a problem, was passionate about it, and founded Square to

PS I have come to view “startups” as a toxic nuisance that drains away capital in hopes of winning the unicorn lottery. Very analogous to how I think of personal injury law and how litigants often are just hoping to hit a jackpot verdict.

If you’re passionate about something doesn’t the problem come naturally? It seems to me this ideation thing seems unique to people who are stuck in the ideology of “I just want to be a growth entrepreneur in startups”. The world does not NE

Apple should be pulling away from China as fast as possible; maybe invest in India or in Southeast Asia. China’s handling of COVID showed how vulnerable global supply chains were, and their censorship regime shows that they are not aligned

No, because they need to attract employees and employees would generally not be attracted to uncompetitively low compensation packages. As a result, companies absolutely track how much employees of a type and level get paid elsewhere, so th

It was a super easy read and interesting to boot- it was not a typical dry academic text. I don’t see why it would go unread. Tufte is a much harder read.

Many (most?) releases auto generate the SSH server keys and set default configuration during OS or during SSH server enablement. Changing the server key protects you against the case that whoever made the distribution did it wrong - eithe

Nice! I wrote an Alexa skill years ago but had to use a reverse engineered API and stored password in AWS. My GitHub is in my profile; the very ugly code is up there.

When I was in the best shape of my life, in the military, my BMI was "too high" even though I was lean and of healthy proportions. I've always taken it with a grain of salt since then.

Don't worry, if you lose your passkey all you need is access to your email to receive a password reset link. </sarcasm>

Read my post. I never said that renewables caused the TX incident. I pointed out that outages happen, and that outages are more predictable and likely in the case of renewables. Oddly, the fact that fossil fuel sources were a precipitat
