<p>> Whew, very glad that a leading scientific voice like DiCaprio is speaking of this to world leaders.<p>General public does not know the scientists by name. When they say something, few people listen. When a famous person says the same thing, many more people listen. That is the world we live in.<p>I'll take DiCaprio or any famous person promoting a good cause any day.</p>

<p>> As a person who believes in democracy, I'm pretty on board with it.<p>As others have stated. This war will not bring democracy. Bombing Iranians have united them with the regime.<p>Also, US and Israel do not want a democracy in Iran. Israel would prefer a non-functioning place like Palestine or a mostly non-functional place like Lebanon that they can easily control.</p>

<p>Sour grapes.<p>I had a position open for more than 6 months. Nobody qualified was applying. But plenty of extremely unqualified people were. We eventually did find a qualified engineer to fill that position. But it was a struggle. Until that happened, that position fit all definitions of ghost positions people complain about.</p>

<p>I think the earlier comment was asking about transparency about your product. What is it and exactly what does it do? And also what exactly did the rogue employee do?<p>Some of these detail might allow the community to decide if Apple is being unfair or there is actual cause for concern. We have so far seen a very one-sided story.</p>

<p>For the longest time I wanted to automated things with ansible. But it was a massive paint to plan/create new playbooks to manage servers and services. But now with Claude Code and other AI agents the ground has shifted. I have created a git repo that contains all my infra information minus credentials. Claude uses it to manage my infra using tools like terraform/tofu and Ansible. I also review the changes before they are pushed. And it is exceptionally good at debugging issues. If something breaks or starts acting weird I asked Claude to take a look and it can get to the bottom of it far quicker than me pocking around. Particularly when I get a call when I was sleeping.</p>

<p>> Maybe he isn't a compulsive liar<p>I have followed Trevor for many years. And I think anybody who has done the same will tell you, lying is very very central to his inner core. He lies even when he has zero need to. He just cannot help himself. It satisfies some inner need.</p>

<p>> I just can't comprehend the mental process or discussion that happened which led to this guy getting a pardon.<p>Trump when pardoning Trevor Milton said that he didn't know the guy, but heard that he said nice things about him.<p>And Milton made a $1m <i>donation</i>.</p>

<p>Agree with what others have said. And will add that under Trump US was losing soft power around the world. But attacking Iran accelerated that process significantly.<p>Most of our allies feel that they can give us the middle finger when we ask for help. More people around the world than ever before now think that US and Israel are the biggest threat to world peace.<p>This is new and uncharted territory for us. We will pay a bigger price for this over the coming years and decades than whatever we did to Iran.</p>
