Since we are talking for other people, "devs" wouldn't have supported someone downloading all those copyrighted works from the pirate bay and profited by, for example, selling them. I don't see any 180.

Weren't they already rebuilding it a couple of years ago?

Not that I know of. I just heard rumors but never saw it myself.

Im surprised to hear that. I went to Caltech for my postgrad and never collaborated on an test, and it would have never ocurre me to do so (and no, the professor didn’t have to explicitly say they collaboration was not allowed. It was just the standard honor code).

We all suspected of people that didn’t adhere to the honor code and it was frowned upon, and they could have faced repercussions if anyone had reported them.

Years ago, I worked at Apple at the same time as Ian Goodfellow. This was before ChatGPT (I'd say around 2019).

I had the chance to chat with him, and what I remember most was his concern that GANs would eventually be able to generate images indistinguishable from reality, and that this would create a misinformation problem. He argued for exactly what you’re mentioning: chips that embed cryptographic proof that a photo was captured by a camera and haven't been modified.

That's your reading of the situation, and far from logical to everyone else.

New comment by osculum in "Two billion email addresses were exposed"

osculum — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 21:48:01 +0000

I log in. Click on Business -> Domains. Then click on the looking glass under "Actions" on my domain. I can there see all my addresses an Pwned Sites.

But I think you are right, because I only have 3 breached addresses under my domain (I do see the 10 addresses wording under subscriptions)

It does. I just checked mine today. I can see exactly which individual email addresses in my domain where exposed and in which data leak. I have never paid for it.

New comment by osculum in "Trump to impose $100k fee for H-1B worker visas, White House says"

Does that make sense though? It seems appropriate to me that only citizens of a country can vote in the elections of such country (US or elsewhere). It’s definitely more complicated than “no taxation without representation”.

Some counter arguments from the top of my head:

What about tourists? They pay taxes while they are here too.

What about electoral interference? It’s way easier to pay taxes than to gain citizenship; this would create a perverse incentive.

What about allegiance? When you become a citizen you pledge allegiance to the US. Not when you pay taxes. Would incentives be aligned?

What about citizen only duties? (male) Citizens have to sign up for selective service and might have to go to war. Not so with H1Bs (though, to your point, permanent residents have to do it). Would it be fair to offer voting rights to everyone even if they don’t have the same duties?

> Taxation without representation (i'm suggesting adding the latter, not removing the former)

Happens to permanent residents too, not only employment visas.

I still have mine with rockbox installed. I had to replace the battery, and the clip broke years ago, but I haven’t found anything like it to replace it.

WhatsApp used to be a paid app, and I paid for it back in the day, as did lots of my friends.
