Ah, but one asshole gets very rich in the process, so all is well in the world.

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?

Amazing. They've tried asking Israel nicely while sending them hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of weapons, and still Israel doesn't stop? Better ask again while affirming unconditional support for Israel, coming down hard on anyone who criticizes it, and sending more bombs and missiles for them to use. Surely that will do the trick.

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?

Trudeau quipped, "We're used to casual homophobic comments from the other side of the House."

The House then erupted in shouted demands for the prime minister to be kicked out for unparliamentary language. 

Typical right-wing stuff: provoke, provoke and provoke with offensive and insulting speech, then flip out about politeness and decorum when your opponent calls you out for it. It's also how bullies work, and fascists.

Don't forget, Disney also gets to kill your spouse and you can't complain.

Depends how well the voice controls work. I have been so frustrated with AI assistants' inability to understand simple instructions while I'm driving that it has become a serious distraction at times. I have never found myself yelling at knobs.

For our American friends, this is as though the President's son used an apartment lent to him by a Senator (of the same party as the President, no less).

Senators are elected, aren't they? Peers are given honours by the monarch, usually after a recommendation from the Prime Minister, and can sit in the House of Lords, unelected, and make decisions about legislation. A Labour peer is just a peer recommended to the monarch by a Labour PM. So Lord Alli is a businessman who received favours from the Labour Party, giving him unelected political influence, and he's giving favours to a Labour PM in return.

Seems quite different to me.

Other countries try to figure out how to improve public transit and reduce congestion and pollution. Ontario's Conservatives try to blow the entire budget on absurdly expensive roads that will soon become as congested as the present ones.

Likening people in the U.S. illegally to “human locusts,” Zuchowski wrote on a personal Facebook account and his campaign’s account: “When people ask me... What’s gonna happen if the Flip-Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins?? I say ... write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards!” That way, Zuchowski continued, when migrants need places to live, “we’ll already have the addresses of their New families ... who supported their arrival!”
