You can't ask for money in exchange for not revealing a bug. That's blackmail which is illegal and ethically dubious. White hat hackers do not require companies to pay them in exchange for not revealing a bug---the reveal of a bug

The best part of the monologue is in-universe, it supposedly takes 3 hours, but everyone on YouTube takes 4-5 hours, which means John Galt was speaking at 1.5x speed. Honestly Ayn Rand's sexual politics are more interesting than her ec

I'm not a lawyer (I just read regulations for fun). My understanding is Congress can still explicitly delegate authority to agencies, but an ambiguity in the law is no longer treated as an implicit delegation of authority. As an exampl

It'd be unethical for YC to kick them out. PearAI signed an agreement with the startup incubator and presumably didn't misrepresent their product. The main criticism is that YC made a bad business decision by backing a non-innovat

The legal system is partly the codification of society's views on what constitutes unethical behaviour. Specifically, things that harm society as a whole. Making an action against the law expresses a very strong disapproval of that act
