<p>True, especially since President Sanders tends to be a bit heavy-handed on exerting political pressure. He's been issuing an unprecedented number of executive orders since he took office...</p>

<p>For my birthday in 7th grade, I wanted a TI-86 calculator because I could program on it. And maybe because a classmate showed me ASM games on their TI-83+.<p>In 9th grade, I wrote programs to solve specific kinds of algebra problems while showing the step-by-step "work" on screen. I remember realizing a critical bug in the code during an exam, which surprised me because it worked perfectly for all the homework and study questions.<p>I ended up spending more time trying to fix it than working on the test! I now realize that it was my first experience with a P1 production bug. In a way, it was my math teacher's fault for not providing sufficient acceptance criteria. I was supposed to learn about polynomials, but I (also) ended up learning about edge cases.</p>

<p>Accusing someone of having blood on their hands is generally an attack to mean that the accused has caused unjustifiable death. To contrast, if person A saves person B from a mass shooter by killing said shooter, it'd be odd for person B to say to A "You have blood on your hands!" (unless it's literally true).<p>"You have committed unjustifiable harm." is clearly an attack. People who commit unjustifiable harm are generally supposed to be shunned, penalized, or killed according to how human societies have operated across the world (various things can get in the way of this, but this is the baseline).<p>So now we're at "My employer's client is someone who should be shunned, penalized, or killed. (and I'm going to post it publicly in a way to make it possible for said client to be able to see it!)".<p>Finally, a lot of business runs on vibes. Having employees that attack your clients in public sends bad vibes. Even if it's just a 'rude comment', why endanger your business for someone who so deeply fails the vibe check?</p>

<p>Here's the report, the claim had no misinformation. <a href="https://beamdisinfo.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Antisemitism-on-Twitter-Before-and-After-Elon-Musks-Acquisition.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://beamdisinfo.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Antisemit...</a><p>Hate speech IS up. The claim was "hate speech is up". Impressions being down matters to the impact of the speech, but the claim stands - hate speech is up. You can claim it doesn't matter (and I might agree with you, since impressions are down, people know what to expect now, and the increase is significant but not huge at this point), but you can't honestly say the claim "hate speech is up" is misinformation.<p>Edit: Actually, I had the claim backwards - YOU said it was DOWN, and you were wrong (according to the report). So to correct myself - the person refuting your claim was right, and spread no misinformation.</p>

<p>There's one weird trick Blizzard / Netease used to avoid (some of) these laws. A game system that gets classified as gambling usually does the following:<p>User pays money > User gets premium currency > User presses button > User gets random reward(s)<p>Here's DI's version:<p>User pays money > User gets premium currency > User "uses" item before rift > User plays rift > User gets random reward(s)<p>That extra step means that instead of simply playing a slot machine with real money, you're playing a (very very easy) game segment that gives you (exponentially better) rewards, since you used real money.</p>

<p>Ctrl and fn are in reversed positions relative to most machines I use, so I find myself hitting the wrong buttons semi-frequently if I'm not paying attention.<p>Despite having paid a high premium on this thing, it still can't multitask in chrome like my Sony Vaio, which I paid only a little more for.<p>Automatic switching of the display doesn't occur when I plug something into the display port, I have to toggle it manually usually.<p>The standard HD is still 5400rpm!</p>
