You mean "it's good that EU will never be a tech powerhouse"? Or you mean "it's good for France to tax large tech companies for internet traffic"?

I've heard many good things about latest GLM models but my understanding is they're not at frontier level?

Okay, cool. Now, tell me how I get access to the frontier models that the attackers use?

I don't believe unprivileged people/companies have access to any frontier model that will do cyber work.

You know who else was "just following orders"? Nazis.

If someone gives you an order that you know has high risk of killing you and your passengers, you can just say no and not do it.

FDIC insurance is mostly unrelated to this. If someone hacks a brokerage, sells a bunch of customer assets for cash, adds new bank accounts for those customers, and then withdraws that cash to those new bank accounts, FDIC insurance does not help at all.

Please stop posting archive.is links. That is a malware distributor.

The right move here would've been to accept the suggestion to drive the train, but not accept the suggestion to drive it at normal speed. The driver should have driven at 40km/h.

Offhand dismissal of some very uncontroversial statements. Cool. Maybe you should stop spreading intentional misinformation and instead do something positive with your life.

The driver tried to verify by asking a confirmatory question from the controller. So clearly there are in fact ways to verify, even if we can not achieve 100% certainty.

The driver also could have refused the order to drive at normal speed, and instead follow the protocol which caps speed to 40km/h in situations like these.

And if you're the median person (not the average person), you can probably 3x those numbers, because such a large number of casualties in traffic are risk-seeking individuals (e.g. a drunk driver is included in "average person" but not in "median person")

You see, he's no longer running Binance or participating in its operation in any capacity, per their deal with the Trump admin / Justice department. He's tweeting about this hack as a civilian, offering personal guarantees to Binance customers out of the goodness of his heart!

I would assume Binance is powerful enough to get Tether to issue new USDT and give it to Binance to replace the stolen-and-frozen USDT.

So they actually lost a few years' worth of profit on this hack? Could be worse, but not insignificant by any means.
