Of course a guy with a net worth over a billion dollars would have 11m in hot wallet.

If someone steals my notebook I take a bigger hit on my net worth lol.

You are going so back that gmail was served over HTTP (not HTTPS) in that era.

If that's the worst you have against Linux then it looks like it has done very well.

Similarly, I've had a canary unencrypted BTC wallet in my computer for years.

I've always been security conscious and I role play my Arch as a Qubes "dom0" and use VFIO for GPU enabled VMs, which I know is not the Qubes way, but I'm also not that at risk.

Talent in western game studios just can't shake the startup mode. Try get a hit, try to get bought, cash out, run away.

Blizzard seemed to defy the stereotype but it died a long time ago, it's just a husk.

The contrast with japanese game studios is impressive.

even if they were despicable, kiwifarms is case study for this, you can't give yourself a platform, they were DDOSed into oblivion when cloudflare dropped them, donations were blocked by payments processors, etc.

AI assistance is not vibe coding. You can use AI and not let it write a single line of code.

When I make manual changes I run them through an audit and risk analysis agent to make sure I didn't miss anything important.

This has caught more errors than our test suite lately.

it doesn't matter who does the writing, it matters who does the thinking, that the whole deal of pair programming.

> The company pulled the car over after detecting a “violation of our terms of service involving a firearm,"

Well now my biggest fear of riding a Waymo is not how it drives but getting my Google account banned because it misdetected something.

> Where were the boycots then.

1. steam does not have a monopoly on distribution rights for PC games. if steam were to go bankrupt publishers could honor your keys and even other marketplaces could do it. steam themselves let you bring your own key.

2. steam has been a benevolent marketplace leader, even though DRM itself plays against customers, the rest of the stuff they pushed while leading, like game sharing, play and refund, offline playing, are pro consumer.

3. why would your knee jerk reaction to this is pointing a finger to steam, what's your endgame?

This is tangential but our monk parakeets make a special sound when they see something they don't like. We have learned to identify it, and hilarously, our dogs did too.

Now when they see something weird (recently, a bird of prey in street light they saw through the window) they sound the alarm and the dogs go absolutely crazy.

I mean the US works like this, it isn't suprising a US state also does.

If someone from the US does something illegal on your site (which is legal in your country), depending on how much they want you will end up in a US prison.

Before the US decided that betting online was OK, betting sites had travel advisories for their employees not to travel to the US.
