Some Republicans are literally working for Russia; the rest just love Putin and the reactionary religious conservatism and oppression of minorities he stands for. In either case they effectively work for Russia.

And the law forbidding promotion of the "childless lifestyle" achieves oppression of women, nonreligious people and LGBTQ+ people all in one go. Republicans will certainly want to do something similar.

And I specifically mentioned the USA because that's the country where OpenAI operates and where the events in the article take place, so if someone asks why it's so easy for OpenAI to go from being a nonprofit to a for-profit company (this was the issue I was responding to, not some general question about whether money has influence around the world), it's the laws of the USA that are relevant, not the laws of other countries.

It all gets publicity, and he won in 2016 on the back of months of free outrage publicity. All the time our attention is on him, it's not on his opponent.

It's shocking how terrified all these universities are of even the slightest criticism of Israel and its genocide.

Many of our home customers' feedback indicated a preference for the certainty provided by an annual plan. The annual plan offers assurance that you always have access to the latest version with innovations such as improvements we’ve made in compression speeds and algorithms. It also ensures you have access to critical updates and are protected against new threats and risks.

I think they made that up. I highly doubt their customers expressed any such preference.

They're even doing an eager supervillain hand rub in the photo, delighting in the pain they're about to inflict.

Was their office under a rock somewhere? How had none of them stumbled upon what every other programmer in the world does?

Most organizations will avoid patching due to the downtime alone, instead using other mitigations to avoid exploitation. 

If you can't patch because of downtime, maybe you are cheaping out too much on redundancy?
