And another common claimed abuse of Flock data is cops using it to stalk people in other cities, other states, and across the country. The potential for abuse rises with the number of people who have access to that data, regardless of who

Netherlands was not. It was a republic of oligarch-run states. They did not have even landholder suffrage until halfway through the 1800s.

Depends on who "you" are. A project manager might be better off. An individual contributor is probably better off using the right tool for the job.

It doesn't, because nothing has been released, and nothing will for months. However, since literally everything else in the author's Github account is from Claude, it's a fairly safe assumption that this is too.

Phrased this way, nothing changes: both true and irrelevant. In other words, any action taken in response to this message is an overreaction. It's just noise.

Such claims can both be true and pointless. For those of us who have to decide what actions to take, there is a point in differentiating between bugs and vulnerabilities, and breathlessly proclaiming "we found a vulnerability but we d

The cost of gas is completely irrelevant. In order to bring a new large load onto the grid, you have to coordinate with ERCOT, and they just made that process more tedious. Once you get your grid connection approved and built out, you hav
