  • That's the current status quo. New legislation can always override old legislation. The only way to fully prevent these proposals would be to enshrine the right to encryption in a new EU treaty (which requires unanimity) and since the national governments are the ones pushing for this while the European Parliament keeps telling to fuck off, it's not going to happen.

  • It's not the first time it happens. Everyone has reporters writing and updating old celebrities' obituaries on their down time because then they can publish a more complete and higher quality article when the inevitable happens. The problem is when someone fires the pre-written obituary because of some rumour or bad source and then everyone else does the same because no one wants to be the last one to report the news.

  • Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI
  • In my experience Software Engineers working in ML are, for the most part, also drinking their own Cool Aid, and need pushback from the rest of the company to keep them in check. So management also needs to know which smart people to listen to.

    SpaceX's Starlink satellites are emanating low-frequency waves from their onboard electronics, messing with astronomical equipment.

    SpaceX Satellites Are Ruining Observations With "Unintended" Radiation

    A new study published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics suggests the satellites are emitting "unintended" radiation from the electronics onboard the satellites.

    These low-frequency radio waves, are being picked up by telescopes designed to scan that frequency range. That's because this range also happens to be instrumental to deep space observations.

    OceanGate CEO Bragged About Using Expired Carbon Fiber to Build Doomed Sub
    futurism.com OceanGate CEO Bragged About Using Expired Carbon Fiber to Build Doomed Sub

    OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush reportedly used expired carbon fiber that was "past its shelf life" to build the doomed Titan submersible.

    New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate's submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey. The CEO, Stockton Rush, bought discounted carbon fiber past its shelf life from Boeing, which experts say is a terrible choice for a deep-sea vessel. This likely played a role in the submersible's tragic demise.
