As an outsider, it always felt that 'internal team politics' were the root cause of Microsoft's technological downfall. This went far beyond the GUI. In 'flagship' offerings like SharePoint or Skype/Lync/Teams you could see the unmixable partial code-bases brutally forced together under a single product name an foisted upon a user-base baffled by how this could have gone so wrong.

A single product name, you say? COPILOT, COPILOT, COPILOT!

How do you propose Annie proves this?

Using eyewitnesses to corroborate as much of her story as possible, plus any artifacts generated during the years of abuse (medical records, therapist notes, texts/letters to friends, diary entries, etc.).

"There’s a lot of grey area in childhood sexuality"

This one you are seriously going to have to explain to me.


You are overcomplicating this. They were ejected because they got caught. What for or how they got caught, does not matter.

> You are overcomplicating this. They were ejected because they got caught.

I don't see how "they got caught doing X" is more complicated than "they got caught doing Y", but at any rate think it's worth being correct and precise in order to reason from accurate premises. If you absorb a lot of false information you'll start coming to incorrect conclusions and it'll be difficult to understand why. It took me years to unlearn all the bullshit I absorbed from when I used to spent a lot of time watching History channel documentaries.

> What for or how they got caught, does not matter.

So if they were ejected for jaywalking or for murder, that's all the same to you?


You have to wonder how unserious this can get. Given the unimaginable cost of this mission, they are faffing around as your typical aunt with Windows Home laptops and iPhones? Seriously?

I'll echo that "sheesh" in the other comment, too. They're so unserious compared to those super serious Apollo guys[1], right? After all, the Apollo folk never would've smuggled contraband for fun on the Moon[2]!

Sheesh, let the lab mice have a breather. Want them to solve physics during the trip?


Those 3 letter agencies are going to see their stash of 0-days dwindle so hard.

Their stash will explode. LLMs can do this on binaries just the same, and there's a lot more closed than open source SW out there.

And they also have a nearly infinite budget to rent AI time to do this type of work.

Not sure about constitution, but it is clearly discrimination based on sex, which violates plenty of EU laws and regulations.

Some countries in the EU, like mine, have funny discrimination laws that say a positive discrimination is not considered a discrimination under the law, so it cannot be challenged. It is used as the basis for all women-favoring regulations.

Such laws are unconstitutional in Germany. I'd be interested in which country you live in and an example of such a law.

This: https://legislatie.just.ro/Public/DetaliiDocumentAfis/224130 article 2, paragraph 9. I tells there is no discrimination if you do it under the pretext of improving equality or if it is a positive measure for "disadvantaged groups". A disadvantaged group is any group that is in a position of inequality with the majority, basically anyone rating less than 50%. That was used to define any group the state wanted to provide advantages as "disadvantaged group", even when they were not a minority.

Interesting, this seems to license forms of affirmative action that are unconstitutional in Germany.

The real shocker is why would this craft spend energy on a Windows machine? I can honestly not think of a single sensible thing.

Those same Europeans so fond of their DSA would scream bloody murder if a Trump like administration would do the same. They have created this monster, and there will be tears and the gnashing of theeth should their factions ever lose control and their opponents get to wield those same weapons.

And no, the USAans are not in it for the 'free speech' either.


I went from triple 1440p to just two, but I am going to go back. I guess it al depends on the type of work you do. I know managers that just use their phone.
