How the fuck is this a thing

Law enforcement also drew a gun on the burning man during the incident, according to a report by Task and Purpose.

Cops are civilians. Elected officials are civilians. What are they even banning?

It’s a privilege escalation.

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-1086 and carrying a severity rating of 7.8 out of a possible 10, allows people who have already gained a foothold inside an affected system to escalate their system privileges. It’s the result of a use-after-free error, a class of vulnerability that occurs in software written in the C and C++ languages when a process continues to access a memory location after it has been freed or deallocated. Use-after-free vulnerabilities can result in remote code or privilege escalation.

The amendment seeks to “require identical academic standards and identical standards for accreditation, including assessments of students and schools based on such standards, for any school that receives State or local funds,” among other things, including:

• The guarantee of voluntary universal access to pre-K for 3 and 4-year-olds, afterschool & summer programming, quality special education, and wrap-around services for children within 200% of the Federal Poverty Line.
• Establish the minimum quality standards ordered by the Arkansas Supreme Court in 2002 in its Lakeview decision.

Imagine peeling off a cool $500k to fuck over childhood education.

All these issues are valid and need solving but I’m kind of tired of people implying we shouldn’t do certain work because of efficiency.

And tech gets all the scrutiny for some reason (it’s transparency?). I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen an article on industrial machine efficiency and how we should just stop producing whatever.

What we really need to do is find ways to improve efficiency on all work while moving towards carbon neutrality. All work is valid.

If I want to compute pi for no reason or drive to the Grand Canyon for lunch, I should be able to do so.

We’re literally in a technology community followed by tons of industry outsiders, of which there is a similar one on every other similar aggregation site. I don’t see any of that for things like plastics manufacturers, furniture makers, or miners. So yeah, I’d say transparency for the general public tends to be higher in tech than most other industries.

I’m sure I won’t be very eloquent about it but simply, liberty. Freedom of compute is on par with freedom of thought and expression.

Freedom of travel is something else, but I’m sure most people that don’t like being imprisoned can appreciate.

Work (as in energy expenditure) enables these freedoms and I think it’s important not to stifle that whenever possible.

Not sure what you’re getting at. Increased system efficiency lowers total emissions or at least increases work capacity.

Unless you’re looking to get rid of half of humanity and go back to living like the Amish I don’t think we can put that genie back in the bottle.

What we can do is work on how energy is generated and increase efficiency. And this has nothing to do with shareholders.

I just disagree. Computing is expression and in my opinion freedom of travel should be a human right.

Even if you add “leisure” to it to bolster your argument.

The admiral, who has an impressive resume, is playing a little fast and loose.

We know now that from [the Schumer amendment] that non-human intelligences are visiting us in all domains.

The amendment does not state that. It just says if such information exists that it’s seeking its disclosure.

Guns will be banned inside of the convention center; however, as the U.S. Secret Service can supersede the local and state law within the “hard perimeter.”

“It’s not us, we swear, the USSS won’t allow it!” Nice convenient excuse.

In my experience, as long as the leadership is somewhat transparent, it’ll be completely obvious. And usually begins with attempts to reduce burn rate like auditing of assets/expenditures and of course layoffs.

I’m assuming you’re asking as an employee and not functionally how to shut down your business.
