If Fox News agreed to it, then you would have a point. But even they did not.

I trust the experts when they say this is NOT similar to other things they sign. This goes above and beyond. It is not about access to information it is about agreeing to publish. They want people to only print what the government says to print. This is outright censorship.

I am wondering if you are simply not fully informed about what is being asked and are assuming that of course the administration would be reasonable.

Or you are informed and intentionally understating what is being asked in attempt to push public opinion.

This administration has gone so far beyond reason it is ridiculous. They have forbidden the journalists from asking questions from ANYONE in the pentagon. If you agree you can go in and only ask about the things they want to tell you about. If you do not agree you cannot go in and ask anyone anything.

This is not normal rules. If it were close to normal rules, Fox news would sign it and shine Trump's shoes.

Funny how under Trump the entire pentagon became instantly fill with morons that disregarded security and just answered journalist questions.

Because under the Democrats (and all previous Republican administrations), reporters just could not managed to trick American Military officers to compromise security.

America has existed for over 200 years and the Pentagon for more than 80. Throughout that time what you are concerned about has not been a problem.

So could it possibly be that instead of protecting American security, you are actually attempting to prevent not security leaks, but instead political leaks that embarrass a liar?

I do for my personal dev projects. It's getting to the point where I can see it being the new norm at my day job in the next 18 months.

You are welcome!

Now you two can fit in with the cool kids.

How good are the kids that do not use social media at:

1) Identifying AI produced slop.
2) Identifying propaganda.
3) Knowing which social media are popular and which are catering to a dying audience.
4) Knowing what sixty seven means.

OK, that last one is a joke, but you get the idea.
People that use X more than Y will have more skills related to X than Y. And vice versa.

Frankly, I suspect that social media related skills may be more important ten years from now than the decline in their other skills.

20 years ago a calculator leaking 32 GB would have been physically impossible. The hardware that it ran on didn't have 32 GB. So leaking even 1GB would have been a major issue.

Now we have Terrabytes, so a Gig is NOT THAT BIG A DEAL.

As our memory size has increased, the acceptable losses have also gone up. Similarly, the developers have shifted their requirements. More important to get things done faster and add features than to be a memory miser.

Is the leak good? No. But it is not a catastrophe nor a sign of bad times. It's just a shifting of priorities due to a shifting of resources.

Also, this is an AI issue because our AI are being trained on the existing software. That is more of a problem than the current memory surpluses.

AI powered virtual reality combat helmet:

Is the AI Hallucinating? Is the invasion real, or is it all virtual lies?

Wait, is it on purpose? Are human soldiers killing all the women because the AI is trying to wipe us all out?

TWIST. The AI is innocent - it's just been hacked by...

1) Russia
2) China
3) CANADA????

The companies that did this should be fined the value of all cars they sold, in the form of stock of their companies.

If they sold 15 billion worth of cars this way, they owe $15 billion of stock to the governments. Note, I am talking the amount they sold the cars for, not the amount of profit. cars unsold must use the real results, not the fake emmissions. If that means they cannot be sold, they cannot be sold.

The governments should keep the stock for 20 years then sell it off slowly.

My home has been on wifi 7 for over a year. I still have some older 6E devices, but they should all be replaced by EoY.

With nothing but unrealistic expectations and hope they have convinced everyone that they are Christ Risen, get on board on now before they conquer the world.

I mean it, these guys have done an incredible job of selling their company.

Many 'hydrogen' plants use the Nitrogen in the air plus water to make Ammonia Plus Oxygen. Room temperature Ammonia contains more hydrogen per liter than liquid hydrogen - and you do not have to make it cold.

You then ship the Ammonia where you want it, and use other processes to get the Hydrogen back, which often releases carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.

Basically, pure hydrogen is a very bad battery. Lots of people think a lithium ion is a better way to store electricity.

IPOS are when you sell shares to the public. Often this results in a quick price boost above the IPO price that drops down below that price fairly soon. End result - speculators tend to make quick money but long term investors can get screwed.

SPAC are similar - they tend to be done when the company is not as in good shape as it mostly just avoids certain regulatory hurdles. Avoiding regulatory hurdles is something bad companies want, not good companies.

The Direct offering is different. Basically, instead of offering a large number of shares for sale, you just take the existing owners and say hey, you can trade them on the open market now.

Theoretically this could be done when a small set of Angel/Early investors want to get out but most do not. This could result in a slow and steady rise in price if those that want out are smart.

But obviously, if the company is about to crash and they know it, even if they try their best it could end in the same quick uptick followed by a long ride to worthless.

They love this in Korea (Samsung is king).

It usually is done to allow people to sell off shares without losing control of a company.

The problem is once you do that, you are kind of stuck. If one company starts to lose money, it can cause major problems. It becomes very hard to raise new capital - both for the companies involved and for the people that started it.

The Samsung heirs now have a huge problem raising the inheritance tax. If they sell anything, they are likely to lose control of Samsung because of how convulated they made the circle of ownership. They are trying to do it via loans, but 11 billion is a lot to owe - particularly if the bank takes any voting control they lose the company.

Similarly the AI network of ownership could very well end up taking down EVERY single one of the companies involved if AI does not turn out to be the godsend people are convincing themselves it is.

That has to be the stupidest reasoning I have ever heard. You are convincing me not to bother listening to GOP.

First of all, almost everyone in politics is 'absolutely desperate to be President'. The current President would probably be in jail if he had lost the election, there were several felony cases that are on hold. But it is the AMERICAN PRESIDENCY. Its the superbowl/world series/world cup/Olympics of politics. Mothers dream of their kid becoming Presidency.

Secondly, Newsom is not Trump and the DNC is slavishly under his control. He can't order the California Assembly to pass a bill. If he is generating headlines for getting these bills, it's because he is doing a remarkably good job convincing the Californian representatives to pass them. The fact he is so effective at doing his job is something most people admire.

Thirdly, this guy does not have the health issues Trump does. And he is 58. He is young (by current presidency standards), popular, and dramatic. If he is not president in 3 years, he might be so in 7, or even 11. Given how much California likes him, if I were you I'd get ready for the long haul.

You are going to be hating Newsom for at least another decade.

No of course not. I am sure thy put in there 'special' illustrations, their 'special' footnotes, and their 'special' forward with commentary. They might even have acid free alkaline paper that lasts 1,000 years.

But I would be shocked if somebody buying on Amazon wants any of that.

You buy Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations to learn what real capitalism is - and how he is perfectly fine with Labor Unions (groups of people organizing to sell their service at a set price? That's called capitalism!) and government provided healthcare (can't have a free market if you die if you do not get the service).

You do not buy the Wealth of Nations to have somebody else tell you what he really means, to see pictures, nor - after more than 200 years - to get a special edition that lasts forever.
