I’m sure it sounded like a good idea to attach a bunch of serious penalties to the law, but college kids do a lot of dumb stuff and this now opens them up to civil (and criminal) RICO lawsuits. “Your campus group tricked me into coming here

If you follow some links in the article, you’ll get to the text of one of the lawsuits. I think you probably want to take a look before hitching yourself to his cause. See if you can read all the way to where he actually states a claim. I

Huh, back in the 2001/2002 timeframe I worked at an old company that gave everyone a Windows laptop but us engineers also had UNIX accounts on the server cluster, which we logged into for dev work. Our company was hit with one of the w

The ending is a little hard to believe. My sister has a job somewhat like this for a school system. Multiply the number of working hours by the number of workers, divide by the number of active cases and the number of hours each case takes

If the government sends me a tax bill and I post it online with a note “I hereby give permission to anyone who wants to pay this for me, including the government itself”, do you think that the government is going to agree that I am no longe

An awful lot of the WWII naval fighter planes you see in museums were pulled up from the bottom of Lake Michigan. The pilots training to land on these carriers missed fairly frequently. The water at the bottom of the lake is great for pres

The University of Illinois just introduced a new popcorn hybrid that is intended to smell and taste good with no additives at all. No salt, no butter, no cooking oil. Just purely air-popped. They were testing it this year at basketball ga

Well, I’ve got one of those 10/10 T14s and a few more screws here or there would have made it a better computer, and probably would have prevented the need for the repair it did receive. Which was almost certainly caused by shoddy ass

Yes. As long as the free float is at least 10%, it will get the fast track into VTI. According to their methodology guide, they use free float for weights and total shares for ranking. So this IPO would be a mega cap with a tiny weight.

Yes, you’re talking about right now. In 5-10 years, if this ends up like many are predicting (and I don’t know if it will or not), you are going to see people by the hundreds or thousands appealing their property tax assessments, saying the

Be very, very careful. Lenovo’s on-site service has changed into a massive security risk. They changed the terms within the last year or two. You have to give one of their contractors full remote admin access to your computer to “run di

It’s a fine computer. “Tech Bros” say stupid things about low-cost Windows computers too. If I had a complaint about the Neo, it’s the screen aspect ratio. The smaller the screen, the closer you need to be 3:2. Open a Google doc on a sch

It’s an interesting legal theory and seems like it would work. However, I would not be comfortable until it is tested in court. LLM models have “seen” an awful lot of code and may not be able to legally do the implementation.
