Thanks, the article was accessible for me so I thought it would be also for others.

Very creative how Kaspersky used SEO to hide this story. When searching you have to exclude all of their sites to find it.

To be fair, he provided instructions.

We should never have allowed a pardon before a conviction. What Ford did for Nixon created all kinds of paradoxes.

We messed up when we allowed Ford's pardon of Nixon before he was convicted. We should only allow pardons after the person was convicted. That created all kinds of paradoxes:

• creating a blanket pardon "from any crime that we don't know yet about"
• possible pocket pardon, where a president could pardon themselves secretly
• hiring thugs on president benefit and giving pardon right before leaving office. They know they can do anything and will receive a blanket pardon. If president had to wait for conviction then there was no guarantee he would be there to pardon them. So it would make whole escapade more risky
• total immunity which trump is arguing about would be even less likely if there was no blanket and pocket pardon and he had to wait until being convicted before being able to be pardoned

He was going to face a trial and likely prison, but trump pardoned him and the rest.

If it wasn't working, OP would have 20 minutes to smoke his cigarette, but if it was, he would get his bus immediately.

I would say it has more to do with the size of a pool of candidates. If an Amazon warehouse employee is not happy Amazon can fire them and get another one. If an investment banker is not happy the company will accommodate them.

As a software engineer though, while I'm not paid as an investment banker I still feel like I'm paid well, I think my job would be better if it was unionized.

Well, you should have lit up your cigarette 20 minutes earlier.

For writing an application GPL is fine if you don't want anyone to profit from your work and if they make changes, contribute back.

Things are a little bit more complex if you are writing a library or code that is meant to be included in another application.

If you use GPL you might get rejected even by other open source applications, as GPL might be understandable as it will change license off the application or be outright incompatible.

This was the case with cursor library after author changed license everyone stopped using it: https://github.com/GijsTimmers/cursor/commit/885156333ac9ca335a587b1dd08964074313f026

The most ironic thing is that he created package from stack overflow answer:

https://github.com/GijsTimmers/cursor/blob/master/cursor/cursor.py

The original author never said they are releasing copyright or are making it public domain.

Greed is preventing them. Our news are no longer news, those are entertainment stations looking for spectacle and trump provides plenty of it.

If our news would just report news, this actually l act wouldn't be an issue.

I would encourage to subscribe and support real news sources that do actual real news reporting like AP, Reuters, NPR etc.

It's not.

The red line was placed by US itself as a response to Russia threatening using nuclear weapons if Ukraine gets any help.

Russia of course didn't, but adopted that red line itself and used it on its propaganda.

As they started offensive on Kharkiv, and started bombing Ukraine from behind the border so Ukraine wouldn't be able to respond, they essentially forced change of that red line.

US allowed to use of its weapons in that area.

Now the problem for Russia is:

• it was easy to say "no Western weapon can be used on territory of Russia", but now they can't say "it was fine to use Western weapons on Belogrod, but Rostov-on-don is a red line" that doesn't work well in propaganda, is putin saying Belogrod isn't Russia?
• other Western nations gave permission to use their weapons anywhere in Russia with no restrictions
• the actual agreement where Ukraine can hit and where it can't are secret and known only to US and Ukraine

This means Russia (including maga politicians) once it stops with this sabre rattling, won't really have much way to use propaganda about future changes.

The agreement being secret will also allow to be modified without much headlines. We will only learn after the fact. For example Russia reporting they saw fragments of US weapons in different areas. Most won't care anymore.

Oh, don't worry, there will be full permission. In a few weeks, and it will be without headlines.

• Russia already made peace offers in the past. So far they always did them when things weren't going well for them.

Sure, but my point is that if it is implemented right, you won't even know you're using IPv6 until you check network configuration.

The initial plan of US was to weaken Russia and make putin withdraw on its own.

With recent delivery of long distance munition, changing policy on hitting into Russia and imposing sanctions on banks it is clear that the policy changed to let Ukraine defeat Russia even if it would result in a collapse of RF.

It's actually more of the same in this case as well, this position was just easier to defend.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE FELONS?
