Engineering is not a regulated term everywhere.

I bought an early framework 13. It cost a little more. I’ve since upgraded the main board to get a faster/newer experience. The overall cost has been less than 2 laptops.

Some of this depends if you’re playing the long game

In the 1920's of the US the idea of making people not content to stimulate buying gained popularity. This is still used today. The culture is directed at making people not satisfied. It's hard to go against the grain of society.

Two thoughts....

First, being intelligent (as defined in the article) doesn't relate to being happy. There is nothing inherent about being intelligent that means happy.

Second, our society spends a lot of time shaping culture and people to extract value from them. For example, the focus on "more" rather than "enough". We are shaped to always desire more and never be content with what we have. Even intelligent people are shaped by this. Consider the fall in terms of people who have hobbies.

I don't think about this as much for professional or amateur photography.

I think of verifiable images as something for legal purposes. So much is easily made up with AI. Having verifiable real photos (and eventually video) can be a benefit for things like legal proceedings.

There is a lot missing from the articles on this whole space. The farmers are getting squeezed for things like profits. For example...

1. Seed prices - there is a lot of patented GMO stuff in circulation and pricing around that.

2. Farm equipment - bigger equipment, more sensors and computers, higher costs (even around fixing things)

It would be great if there was some investigative reporting that covered all the angles.

> That died last week, when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia dismissed the suit for lack of jurisdiction.

If the issue is one of jurisdiction, did they file the case in the wrong court?

Following local news, I've seen the case where a case is closed because it was filed in the wrong court. A different court had jurisdiction in the matter. I wonder if that's what happened in this case.

This has nothing to do with Git. A symlink can be packaged up in a tarball and shipped from one system to another. An attacker would need to create a malicious Chart.yaml file and a Chart.lock file pointing to another file. Then ship those to a system where dependencies are then updated.

This doesn't affect things like installing or upgrading a chart. Dependencies aren't updated at that time.

The attacker creates a symlink (e.g., using `ln -s`) to another file. The attacker needs to create the malicious Chart.yaml file and symlink that the Chart.lock file points to.

Some species of birds, like cockatoos, like puzzles. They like to figure things out.

Imagine the time we would have if....

Instead of doom scrolling on social media we called a friend.

Instead of binge watching another meh show, we had friends over to play cards or a board game.

Instead of over scheduling kids with constant activities, parents had a regular night out with friends while kids spent quality time at home with the other parent.

The time is there. It was in the past. We just have a finite amount of time and use it differently.

People have admitted in news interviews to destroying government data to prevent others from knowing what the government was doing. That’s likely criminal. This is a legitimate reason to get at information before people who might destroy have the opportunity.

What’s happening with judges is very political. We likely won’t know what’s allowed until things have gone through the appeals process. There have been cases of judges admitting they will rule against the current administration no matter the topic or law. This is messy, to say the least.

Setting aside legitimate (thats a matter of judgement)...

Some previous attempts for DOGE to get data has resulted in data being deleted before they can look and requests for judges to block access to data.

DOGE may be trying to be covert in order to stop these two activities from happening before they can get and review the data.

To play devils advocate here, a thought comes to mind...

Should the US be the one to handle the CVE database globally? The current administration wants to see other parts of the world help carry the load. A little scare could be the push needed to make this either distributed or handled by a coalition. This could be a positive for the US (who doesn't want to be the sole funder) and for those who don't want the US to have sole control.
