So beyond the prosecutor, we have to start questioning judges and juries. If the prosecutor so strongly feels that a weak case has a chance of getting a conviction, then what's really wrong here: the prosecutor or the judge/jury part of the system? Prosecutors are famous for only bring cases to trial they feel they can win. That sense normally comes from their experience directly or reading of previous trials.

And then there was vibe coding

All of the users of WooCommerce would disagree

> (It is often much cheaper for an enterprise to just get a long term support contract than to properly upgrade to a modern PHP stack.)

I've experienced similar to this. I know I shouldn't be, but I still get amazed every time I hear that some small company is still using an old DOS machine running core software based on dBase that nobody has any clue on how works and the developer has since moved on to a higher plane. One person told me that they sweat every time the power goes out longer than the attached UPS can run holding their breath that the machine powers back up.

> You only get to be an asshat once.

I have seen no evidence to back up this claim. Quite the contrary actually.

it's called creative licensing. you can't account for taste though.

I don't know, it's showing most sites being pwnd in less than 20s with some taking just under 30s. Of course, that's on homeboy's local Mac. Not sure how long it takes to gain control with PHP2Shell to run the exploit though. Just started looking at that part myself

One of the first AI slop nonsense coming out of the White House was Trump wearing a crown on a mock Time magazine cover with "Long Live The King" printed on it.

I think that's being a bit too much here. I can't speak for Ontario fire departments, but in the US, major cities have specialized trucks with crews trained for things specific to auto accidents. Hazmat training to deal with leaking fuel/oil/fluids to stay safe and clean up.

Keeping firefighters from being bored is why you see them playing pickleball or other sporty things around the firehouse. If your firefighters are that bored, you should look at having the chief replaced with someone better trained. Especially for the city the size of Ontario.

Don't forget all of those cats stuck in tree that get rescued by local FD. Recent stories of pets in storm drains being rescued as well. But as someone else already posted, most are responding to auto accidents. Nothing as useful for redirecting traffic and shielding first responders than a giant firetruck blocking the lanes.

ha! Who knew ignoring critical updates and continuing to run deprecated software while kicking the can down the road while focusing solely on building new features would turn out to be the best security policy after all.

That's probably why the specifically called out USA anticipating this lame question

I remember 10.6.6 being the perfect version. At least, if you owned the 2010 MacPro. It was perfect as it was the last OS that was compatible with that hardware.

Then tell Claude to speak in a Regis voice???

I remember the first time I heard a young girl talking to her friends in the TikTok pattern. That was a clear sign we were doomed.

"RMP will be transmitted by the U.S. Space Force’s future GPS IIIF satellite constellatio"

WILL BE is key here.

Didn't Trump get rid of said fine in his first term?

Would building something reliant on GPS be the right way to go? We've seen how easy it is to make it not very reliable. Musk has also shown that StarLink/Shield reliability are at the mercy of how he feels that day. Internal navigation still seems the most reliable for Tomahawks

To bend a phrase, if you have to ask...

No, they've legitimized tribal justice.

I remember watching this show as a teen while thinking I had to be the only person watching it.

To that end, Network Solutions is still around

The fact that the government has washed their hands of dealing with pesky problems like maintaining streets is bizzarre to me. How far is too far with privatization?

I live in a neighborhood without an HOA, and any time someone comes over for the first time they all make comments about how nice the neighborhood is. Acceptance of an HOA is the pinnacle of Stockholm syndrome.

wouldn't it be easier to just add a comment block in the code above the regex?

I took it to mean they came up with chemicals to make the flavor rather than actually using spices and food ingredients but I'm a cynical bastard. I absolutely could have been taking it out of context. I don't even remember what brand, assuming Lays. It wasn't an ad in the :30 or :60 sense. It was promotional video that was shot in VR, so probably not something widely seen.

The people that invested their money did not make these decisions. The people running the fund did. You're victim blaming. Most people don't get a very wide choice where their money goes outside the couple of options the fund managers present. I'd also venture most people do not even look at what stocks are in the fund. They'll look at the past earnings and check the box.

> The intensely chemical nature of Doritos

I was on a shoot for a series of videos promoting new flavors of chips. One of the lines stood out to me about "our scientists went to work". Not our chefs went to work. Scientists.

Why do people invest? To make money.

Sounds more like you're wanting to ask a more generic question on why addict gambles, but if you want to understand the rational of an addict, then get in line. The only thing to understand is trying chase the high in whatever form it takes. Ask an addict and they will tell you there's no explaining it.

To me, the "HN fasion" is not accepting that there are things that exist that are not rational and no matter how much you want to logic your way to an answer, it will never happen.

Sounds like you're agreeing that GenZ/GenA need to do some more growing up to me.
