Executive war making, overgrown militaries, debt, party politics, concentrated power, corporate power, and foreign entanglement.

The framers did not invision America in its current state, to state otherwise would be nonsense because we can just read the words they wrote.

I don't think it's just hacker news. I'm looking around and it seems to be widespread.

Mandatory spending, they have obligations to Americans. I'm sorry veterans, seniors, poor people, and the disabled are such an inconvenience for you, or that you don't know what the word entitlement means.

Maybe Apple lawyers can figure this out in discovery.

Agreed, you can also preface the question. I've checked A, B, and C with AI, curious to get your opinion/thoughts?

I don't think anyone in any industry regardless of seniority would redirect you back to AI assuming you're having a genuine conversation.

Agreed, we are giving an absolute load of welfare to billionaires. From tax breaks to bailouts, and to your point, it's sucking the life out of the American economy.

I remember when Republicans told us they want less regulation and smaller federal government. Now they want their dementia riddled god king to control everything from pool liners to the information you're allowed to see, which is all in books and readily available online.

Nintendo, Capcom, Activision, Konami, Sega, Bandai Namco, EA, Sunsoft, Atari, Taito, Bethesda, Tecmo and Naughty dog

All found in the 80's or earlier and still pretty well known today. It could be argued these are different companies today, but they exist.

I can't speak for Utah, but I sued a valet for crashing my car in small claims. I was given the option for an additional fee to have the subpoena served by the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department. I think you're better off getting police involved if you can when it comes to serving people. In the case of the video I'm pretty sure he hired a certified process server and the police shut it down.

I recommend watching the videos and deciding for yourself. They've already won in court and nobody has paid them. How are they in the wrong at all here?

The best part is when the officer takes the process server's subpoena, says he'll serve it, then walks back and says the defendant isn't accepting it while refusing to allow her to serve the subpoena.

The search of his person over a call to police is a clear violation of his rights, a phone to call to police is not PC or RAS. The fact they held him for three hours will to be to his benefit in court. Arresting him for starting a gofundme, a clear violation of his first amendment rights, I mean they're just digging that hole. Then they raid him, dislocate his arm, and now he has a warrant out for physical threats?

This story is not blowing up because because of Legos or stealing from old people. It's blowing up because we're watching a corporation and a police department abuse their power and we're all grossed out by it.

It's famous for being toxic and unmoderated. You can do anything... want to be racist, cool, doxxing people, cool, targeted harassment, you bet your ass.

I actually love this. They think they'll be able to control this tech and be lords over everyone. In the meantime everyone is replacing them with homegrown solutions.

GH provides an IP allow list and corp proxy capability to enterprise users. Unless the attacker pwned the entire corp network which is worse than leaking a token, these types of issues can mitigated. Tokens are useless if they don't originate from a specific IP space or contain the proxy header, but you have to set them up.

Wrap it up, this guy doesn't like the database (they use two), azure is terrible despite being the cash cow for msft, and OP could easily build a more scalable scm service with their pinky and half their brain because they know better then thousands of engineers. I don't know whats more comical, GH going down everyday, or watching bros trying to flex.
