Umm based on the statute and elements of the crime they were charged with and found guilty of. Whoever, while committing a robbery, is armed with a dangerous weapon or any article used or fashioned in a manner to lead the victim to reasonab

Lol yeah, armed robbery is effectively the charge for someone that was totally willing to kill while robbing but due to circumstances did not need to. That should not be considered a light crime.

It would be mind blowing to me and completely unexpected if twitter was not already under many active settlements related to accessibility lawsuits each with their own ongoing obligations. There are very few large entities that have not bee

I believe just meta has encountered many dozens of ADA related lawsuits for everything from their use of disability information for ad targeting to web accessibility -- both government instantiated and civil cases. I am fairly sure much of

Having worked with many PR/Marketing/Media brand teams I do not know of one group that utilized twitter client in any of their workflows -- they all used a mix of third party clients for reading and other integrations/clients

I also do not think Musk understands just who the primary userbase on many of these 3rd party apps were -- many of those pesky advertisers/brands that he seems to be both courting and at war with exclusively use api apps for tracking p

The fact that Elon has disbanded the accessibility team at twitter probably already leads them into hot water related to this (It is not uncommon for orgs like twitter to be bound by multiple long term settlements related to accessibility s

While I do get what you are saying VRChat shutdown is a pretty poor match to this scenario. the TOS for that always had a clear verboten against modifying the client and network traffic via 3rd party apps/patches. In Twitters case, t

While I agree that getting locked out is a clear risk of any business built against another company's platform I do think it is perfectly reasonable for someone whom has done so for 15+ years (and is part of an ecosystem that helped es

I just wish companies would move these types of conversations/notifications off of twitter -- i'm done with that s-show.

Depending on the nature of the app a suitable easter egg may be that over time the outputs become randomly but subtly incorrect. Another technique is to canary mark outputs in some way (like a tell tale unique string in PDF/export outp

I think it will be interesting to see the next few years. There were quite a few orgs that jumped as the pricing was introduced, detachment from k8s etc that was a side effect, a bunch of new options in (free) market. Just from my persp

Its even more amazing when you really sit down and think about all of the systems (many highly resistant to change like aircraft navigation systems) that all connect and utilize this service. What appear like simple changes and proposals in

Depending on your age and general personal history, in the past it was very common to see references and use of "the Ukraine" to talk about the region/area as well as the country (that mostly covers that geographical area).

if collisioncheck(v1,v2, distance) { // collision } where you have defined an actually readable equivalent inside of collisioncheck would be my prerogative... I also agree paren matching failures should error, but your exampl

Both are still in use. For instance during your pilots tests either is considered an equivalent answer.

FAA and most all global air systems and services tend to use their own nomenclature for communicating to pilots -- I would read "equipment failure" as a term that pilots would use and understand as "a temporary or permanent f

You could also go to a neurologist and have some tests run -- beyond general aging and its impacts on memory and reasoning there are other types of issues that can impact people much younger than expected. That said, if you do not exercise

It is not that they are creating new laws, it's that the dev committed theft of services and fraud (existing well established laws) as he utilized the system with intent to receive free services that were directly forbidden in the gra

Wonder what the lawyer costs would be should google go after the company that paid him to do the fraud for them?

Yes. Serving content crafted for spiders specifically is a blacklist waiting to happen.

It really varies from role to role -- staff engineers/principals/whatever nomenclature used can be just another manager/director or a pure dev with light mentorship/heavy resource for helping with hard dev problems and d

This is an outcome of what they have done in the warehouses to "optimize". Instead of requiring all of each vendor's items to exist in each warehouse they have commingled them (with what seems extremely little checks and bal

Maybe the solution is to add anti-right to repair as a major indicative element to the monopoly legislations (ie if indicated it reduces the hurdle of the other elements that must be proven dramatically). Forcing repair lock in should be in

I think this is what takes time -- they have to build more than a circumstantial case that the crime was committed and as you said the suspect is not going to confess so they have a large hill to climb. Flying to an island on his plane (eve
