"The exact technical mechanism remains under investigation, though the compromise occured at the hosting provider level rather than through vulnerabilities in Notepad++ code itself. Traffic from certain targeted users was selectively redirected to attacker-controlled served malicious update manifests."

Fuckall they could really have done about it other than changing host providers, which they mentioned they already have as a result.

"investment for retirement is way different than owning a VC firm"

I'd challenge that idea if you're trying to pass a moral judgement. It's no less wrong or immoral to uncaringly invest in companies that do horrible things for ones retirement in a 401k than it is in invest uncaringly in companies that do horrible things for VC, starting a new business or any other investment decision. We all bear responsibility for the effects of our own decisions, whether small in scale or large. Whether small or large investments, if we all took care and interest and time to receive and made changes where we see immorality, the world would be better for it.

Who gets to draw the line between those who are just "retiring" and bear no responsibility for the effects of their investments and those who are so wealthy they should? Who gets to decide what that amount threshold is? You? Why wouldn't everyone be held to the principle if you're making a judgement based on morality? Gets to be a very slippery and subjective slope otherwise.

I would say generally the problem is the structure of capitalism is immmoral; if you looked at the investments of anyone who has a 401k, there is awful shit companies doing horrific things that go against the need and interests of the person who owns the 401k that they are likely unaware of or at best hold their nose at because it's part of a bundle of investments or an index fund like the s&p500.

None of that excuses the effects of providing funding, but it's systematic; rich people just have more money to invest in largely the same system The rich might potentially have better access to those who could help then understand their options but many likely outsource their investment choices to someone with the mandate simply to "responsibly manage" their funds, which for most people unfortunately means to maximize the return. Someone like Steph ostensibly doesn't want to be funding genocide but unless you are hands on reviewing every opportunity, screening every company, etc. it's little surprise that Joe schmoe int heir 401k or Shaq in his burger franchises supports horrible outcomes for employees, consumers, or those in other countries.

No excuses for the responsibility any of us bear, and perhaps it's fair to hold the very wealthy that much more accountable with the opportunities and resources they have to make more informed or deliberate decisions but at the end of the day they are part of an amoral, supremely corrupted system that has been twisted horrifically to be even worse than it need be with no sign of slowing.

The rich don't deserve any sympathy but they're not really much different(other than scale) than anyone else in supporting an inhuman system.

I hope this is in tandem with a state-level change to the "department of highway and oil interests development" sometimes referred to as the Dept of Transportation.

Trimets funding and a safer and better world for bikers are mutually dependent, adding a protected bike lane here and there is nice for the brochure but doesn't change the underlying power and funding mechanisms for development which are largely owned and controlled by car-centric real estate developers which destroy safety absent enforcement and penalties severe enough to change behaviors.

There are a lot of Americans who are learning American politics against their will at the moment too(their ignorance seems willful and self-imposed in many instances); hopefully enough of them to not support the insanity in the future.

• "But Trump said he would help union jobs"

• "But they were just supposed to go after the bad minorities, not my group"

• "But tarrifs don't raise prices for Americans, they promised"

• "But why can we pay $50k sign on bonuses for ICE but not fund education or healthcare?"

• "But that's against the law, I thought they supported the 2nd amendment?"

• "But they're being violent toward white people too, I thought my group was safe"

• "But they said they hated paedophiles and wanted to punish them and that they would release the Epstein files"

• "But Trump said he would end the Ukraine war in 24 hours"

• "Why can't I get vaccinated and get my kid vaccinated in some states?"

• "But they defunded my X when they said they were only going to defund Y"

• "But that hurts my business, I bought their line that..."

• "Well I thought they were just going to take away abortions from and track poor, minority group women from having abortions, my case is different"

• "Why is my USD currency value crashing? Why are the trump coin crypto I bought not able to be sold, Trump has discretion on the lockup period and gets to decide who sells and when?

• "Why do billionaires seem to be doing really well and at lots of events with the administration and everyone else doesn't seem very happy?

• But laws shouldn't be used only against certain people, don't they apply to everyone in a system where money equals power?

Compliance in advance, giving up your own existing legal rights is their dream. They are breaking the law, don't move your behavior to accommodate.

Queue the propaganda pieces from the Chinese. You are seeing this as Canada just opened their markets to Chinese autos last week and the US is terrified and China wants to push their advantage while the US is destroying their own global market hegemony.

This piece is meant to sew desire for Chinese car products to either indirectly support Canadian market entry as reasonable, which if you're Canada it is, if you're the US it's disastrous for your dated, overpriced, uncompetitive, sluggish auto industry.t

"one group proposing"

And I'm sure not a single one of this group is associated, employed, or funded by Subway Boring Tunneling Inc.

This is where journalism has extreme power and should exercise extreme prejudice in the ideas it gives light to. There are probably dozens of ideas, many of which don't have corporate or political beneficiaries which didn't get a writeup for their cause. This is where access, privilege and "other side" really rears its head to disproportionately represent "choice" in the marketplace of ideas and distort reality.

Steph twilight years with Giannis would be ridiculous. Shame to see Jimmy end in a dead MN

Wrong thread!

Covers? Luxury.

When we was growing up it was a few moldy newspapers stuffed into a garbage bag.
