I mean yeah, the guy was dumb even before the dementia.

I guess it’s one of those “justifiable but unwise” sort of things. If your company is doing a bug bounty program to stay on top of security vulnerabilities, what you don’t want is to create the perception that the work of devs who look for these vulnerabilities isn’t appreciated, for example, by skimping on bounties over technicalities.

Paying the 10k doesn’t ruin the company and allows them to fix a section of code that may become a vulnerability in the future. Not paying the 10k saves them 10k at the price of the devs’ trust that keeps this program effective. From a financial point of view, this is some very poor decision making.

I’ve read somewhere that Argentina has a thriving community of German speakers for some reason.

The billionaire equivalent of a 14-year-old shouting “I’m running away!” at their parents. He’ll be back, and until then, he won’t be missed.

Ferrari execs, probably: “No, we have to make clear that we’re modern™ and there’s more to our cars than toxic masculinity!!!”

… which might even be a good selling point for a lot of people, except for the kind of people who buy a Ferrari.

The sports car manufacturer’s cycle of business:

1. Lose revenue due to EV competition.
2. Design EV that looks like a cotton candy/kid’s toys version of your other cars.
3. EV sells poorly.
4. Scrap EV plans and return to non-EV lineup.
5. Go back to 1.

I’m starting to think the chicken comparison doesn’t do justice to the emptiness of Trump’s threats. If he ever had to fight a chicken, the chicken would win.

Brexit was so bad, Farage had to change the name of his moronic fucking party.

Some companies have mechanical watches in the 400-500€ range that can go for 200€ used. I have a Junkers that I bought used for 200€ some years ago, and it’s got a glass bottom (other models do, too). But honestly, I wouldn’t make this a criterion, because you rarely see the back, and skeleton watches can sometimes look tacky.

Some of the examples from the article:

New lows/highs in polling are definitely worth reporting, but we also shouldn’t overinterpret individual polls. Nate Silver’s approval tracker still has Trump at 39.3% approval, just below the 40% line.

So what I’m trying to say is: It’s still much much worse than y’all think. High costs of living, cruelty towards immigrants and non-white citizens, blatant corruption, wars, and all that together doesn’t even move the needle that much.

Republicans owning themselves is the only moral use of AI.

This administration is so corrupt, you can basically monitor the betting and the stock markets for spikes like these, and that’d be a pretty good indicator that you’ll be attacked/sanctioned/tariffed and whatnot.

You probably mean Beate Klarsfeld. The Nazi she slapped was then-chancellor of West Germany Kurt Georg Kiesinger. Her work also helped bring several high-ranking Nazis and war criminals to justice, Klaus Barbie being one of the more well-known ones.

Fewer.

I love how the 12² isn’t explained, so it’s really just 144 months of payments.
