Quarrel

These cases are so weird.

The share price fell, so lawyers race to the courthouse to file a class action suit, because there is a first-to-file doctrine for these types of cases.

Then they don't necessarily try and prove harm, they just want to settle & get paid for their own inflated costs.

Meanwhile, the people that they are supposedly representing, ie shareholders at the time of the fall, are overwhelimingly still shareholders. So any payout they get is from their own proportion of money they already own in the company, minus legal fees.

It does however screw foreign holders and a few other classes of shareholders, to the benefit of the lawyers, and to lower the loss the shareholders take by getting their own money back.

Sure, but does voting for DAs with a high conviction rate get you any closer to solving these problems?

My guess is that it does not.

It cops hate because people try to pass off LLM written text as their own, then get pissed when called out on it.

If you just want good llm text, it’s great.

Waiting on Limerick to drop.

Right?

Like, I used to, but it was in the early 1990s.. People look at them now?

Next I'll be asking people to finger me to get my availability ..

and I thought I was old..

My Dad worked for Honeywell in the 70s, in Australia.

tbh, I just google'd them and they're still in the Nasdaq-100, 100k employees .. damn. I'm not sure of when I last heard of them.

I still think of them as old school punch cards and reels of tapes.

What are they? Are there papers on this?

It would be about as bad, although nothing, AFAIK, actually systematically sends it as telemetry.

This GDID is essentially a similar concept though, but not as hardware tied, but is reported in telemetry.

FWIW, YogaDNS stops these bypasses if you tick a settings box ("Block plain DNS over TCP from System Resolver"). Or use similar DNS forcing techniques against port 53.

Windows falls back to the normal resolver in that case.

Indeed, I think this is the correct take.

If they'd done their VPN/dirty work in a linux VM/container, with the VPN running in that, they'd have been fine.

Clean-them would have had their GDID on their normal ISP IP or equivalent, and Dirty-them would have had everything through the VPN from their no-telemetry dirty-host.

They took the slavery / serf distinction seriously in the Slavic world. While the distinctions might have mattered in the 1800s, by any modern-slavery standard the serfs were slaves, as you rightly say.

Whatever we might now think with hindsight of the communist revolution in Russia, if ever there was a country primed for the peasants to rise up against the ruling class, it was Russia.

Russia might have been a land of art, music, dance and literature, but you were pretty fucked if you weren't in the 20%.

FWIW I think Acemoglu writes very well & I loved his book "Why Nations Fail" for introducing lots of interesting ideas to me, while also helping me understand my own (non-failed) society better.
