Community rules should deny locked-away content.

Some other communities have a “have it accessible, if not on the link, provide an unlocked alternative link too”.

Enough post content can also allow discussion. But locked away linked content certainly doesn’t.

I think it’s still a net-positive.

After that author’s post (from 2020) Microsoft acknowledged and apologized the bad way they went about it. (IIRC anyway.)

It’s certainly a shitty situation for the author, with the PM opportunity at Microsoft not working out (reason unknown/not visible to us). The author can’t invest as MS can into their project. The author could continue, but obviously, it’s less “useful” now as a product, with a “better” alternative.

Having it be a Microsoft-maintained project gave and gives it a lot more impact and significance, both functionality-wise and public-/enterprise-wise. Having an official package manager like this is a very good thing.

And the author on the post you linked says as much in their post. They’re not upset about anything else other than the communication in regards to the hiring process he was not that interested in anyway. That’s not really “stealing”. Just superseding. With an aside shitty-communication.

Can you source your claim, that Azure hypervisor uses CrowdStrike? Because a Microsoft spokesperson told Ars that that issue was unrelated to the CrowdStrike update.

[…] cited as “a backend cluster management workflow [that] deployed a configuration change causing backend access to be blocked between a subset of Azure Storage clusters and compute resources in the Central US region.”

A spokesperson for Microsoft told Ars in a statement Friday that the CrowdStrike update was not related to its July 18 Azure outage. “That issue has fully recovered,” the statement read.

Microsoft services were, in a seemingly terrible coincidence, also down overnight Thursday into Friday. […]

They were not “using it”. And there’s no “stragglers still”.

No no.

Have you tried turning it off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on again?

They could drop all the tracking though and only serve the public redirects. A much simpler product that would retain web links.

as of 2021, Valve employed just 79 people for Steam, which is one of the most influential gaming storefronts on the planet.

There’s value in stability, but some things have long been stagnant and could be improved. It took a long time for the client and website to get some significant changes.

I don’t know if I would prefer more changes. I certainly would like and want some. But that could inevitably lead to undesirable changes too.

When I applied for a job there over a decade ago [to improve some stuff myself] I didn’t receive an answer.

researchers scanned a dead fish while it was “shown a series of photographs depicting human individuals in social situations. The salmon was asked to determine what emotion the individual in the photo must have been experiencing.”

The work is, however, a compelling and humorous demonstration of the problem of multiple comparisons. This is a principle in statistics that basically says when you’re looking at enough bits of information (i.e. doing lots of statistical tests), some will seem to be what you’re looking for – purely by chance. In fMRI experiments, there are a LOT of pieces of data to compare, and without statistical correction for this phenomenon (which is not always done), some will indeed be significant, just by chance.

Around 30% of people with depression have what’s known as treatment-resistant depression, meaning multiple kinds of medication or therapy have failed to improve their symptoms. And for up to two-thirds of people with depression, treatment fails to fully reverse their symptoms to healthy levels.

Depressingly big numbers

Disappear sounds like they vanished into nothing. Does and did that happen? Or did they cease to operate, presumably with some closing handling?

They’re also very open and transparent. Work, guidelines, workflows, etc.

It’s a shining example of an alternative kind of company, and it’s insightful and a great resource of information.

For Windows, what made you decide on Chocolatey rather than winget/Windows Package Manager?

Yeah, no

Schachner says she is certain he was pleasuring himself while they had a conversation she thought was going to be about her career.

In a parade of clips, boldfaced names like Janeane Garofalo, Roseanne Barr, Dave Chappelle and others either defend Louis C.K. or blame the women who came forward or both. Clips of fans walking into one of his shows echo that attitude with a simple, dismissive notion: Everybody makes mistakes.

Meanwhile, the film depicts women who helped expose his misconduct as mostly still struggling, watching as more powerful comics friendly to Louis C.K. minimize their work and what he did to them.

[The documentary] Sorry/Not Sorry asks viewers to consider all this again – as pop culture’s short memory threatens to erode progress made by the #MeToo movement – insisting that the stories of those hurt by misconduct remain a central part of the conversation.

Thank you

The record in this case reflects Mr. Giuliani’s continued failure to meet his reporting obligations and provide the financial transparency required of a debtor in possession.

Most significantly, none of Mr. Giuliani’s business entities have made any production at all despite being required to do so by the Rule 2004 Order.

So they were not transparent and the up to 10 million in assets and debt numbers may very well be made up.

Fifth, Mr. Giuliani has agreed to a one year filing bar following the dismissal of this case, alleviating concerns that Mr. Giuliani would simply file another bankruptcy as soon as this case is dismissed.

Seems like he chose case dismissal over financial transparency.

(It’s a long document, with multiple things/decisions, and legal speak, so having only skimmed for that detail, I may not have identified the or all significant parts. Discretion advised.)

It’s crazy that you can read the individual attackers names (in the linked referenced other page), visit their social media profiles, see their happy family pictures, while they’re out there shelling other people and families.

And then you see even stuff like

The decision […] comes almost seven months after Giuliani sought bankruptcy protection after he was ordered to immediately pay millions in damages to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, two Georgia women he falsely accused of helping to steal the 2020 presidential election.

lol, so absurd you could mistake it for satire

too much damages to pay -> bankruptcy -> rejected -> has to pay

In paperwork filed Thursday to seek protection from creditors, Giuliani listed up to $500 million in debts, including the $148 million he owes former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss. He also listed “unknown” amounts of debt to election technology companies Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems, which named the former New York mayor in their defamation lawsuits about the 2020 presidential election. He listed his assets between $1 million and $10 million.

So, he has (up to) 10 million in assets. He has to pay 148 million in damages immediately. And has over 352 million in other debts.

How is he not bankrupt? I’d be interested in the ruling. Unfortunately, it’s not linked to in the article, referenced, or mentioned why it’s missing. Does the ruling publishing need time, or is it press not sourcing?
