"In a regulatory filing today, L&F revealed that the contract’s value has been written down to just $7,386.

No, that is not a typo. $2.9 billion to roughly $7,400."

Plenty of unemployable PhDs here Australia. I know one who is tutoring high school students to earn a living. His thesis was on phycology and the production of sustainable fuels. A nuclear physicist with a PhD is unemployable and is retraining as a data scientist. Another phycologist is retraining as a counsellor. A molecular biologist is running a plant shop. The first phycologist is charming but a century ago, he would have been a charming but very average greenkeeper or a gardener.

Bright people in Australia head into finance, medicine or law not into dead end PhDs. The problem is that universities sucker too many into PhD programs for the sake of the departmental government funding. This leads to indiscriminate entry into virtually all the PhD programs in Australia. When they graduate they are often underemployed or unemployed.

The ultimate harm to society is the production of research slop that worsens the SN ratio in published work.

Personally I wouldn't have posted this. It has tones which can only be hurtful, to somebody you presumably know.

more pointedly: the commenter presumes that the friends are unhappy with their lives. Also that some them would be better served performing back-breaking menial low-wage labor while otherwise being illiterate. Any PhD (even one in specializing in Plankton and especially nuclear physics/engineering) would equip you with a bunch transferable skills that normally would be valued in a modern society ... 1) public speaking 2) initiative 3) resourcefulness 4) analysis and communication etc etc. If I was being uncharitable I would say finance and law are actually worse for society: at least the subset of those that get paid the highest with respect to their impact on the broader society (but that is debatable).

Would you think it would be better for "society" to allow more people to go into finance and law? Or that advanced knowledge should be gate kept by only the select cognitive elite that are most adept at playing the "glass bead game" by age 18? Would you change any of your opinions if AI renders most High IQ practical/technical tracts obsolete? Perhaps, a more sane society would be one where curious people could develop themselves in whichever way they so choose: if they want to study the mating habits of marmots in the Central Asian steppe then so be it.

So the US security apparatus will have DNA data on all UK citizens.

Nice...

What could possibly go wrong with giving UK citizen data to ICE, NSA, CIA, Trump, Trumps friends, Trumps friends corporations, Trump's friends foreign political connections, donors to the above etc...

"You was not the first person to lose his life during construction of the EV plant and its suppliers. In April 2023, Victor Gamboa died on the megasite after falling 60 feet to his death.

Bryan County EMS records show in a 16-month period there were 53 calls for services at the site, including over a dozen for traumatic injuries. One of these injuries included another forklift accident, while one involved a worker being caught in a conveyor belt.

In March, prior to You’s death, a construction worker on the site went to the hospital after being seriously injured in a pipe explosion.

In May 2025, 27-year-old Allen Kowalski died on the HL-GA Battery construction site after a metal frame fell on him.

OSHA has opened at least 15 investigations into incidents at the site, including You’s death and the March pipe explosion."

And there will be more

>The company was ultimately fined just under $10,000 for his death.

The cost is tooo low to prevent the company from protecting employees.

Yeah, the $1,800 fine for not filing a worker's injury with OSHA is also strange, because I don't see how it would cost a company less than $1,800 to pay a lawyer to complete and file that form.

I think this is likely a process problem. Having been a safety officer for a lab in the past, there are two types of injury reports. One for regular injuries, you have a week to report. Serious injuries need to be reported within 24 hours. These are death and amputation injuries (there might be more, it's been a few years).

Anyway I suspect they missed the deadline because it slipped through the cracks.

Whatever the cause is, the fine is so low that it's actually cheaper to simply not comply with the regulation.

At least it's a rare case where leadership sees the consequences of their lackluster safety practices

I would assume that OSHA fining the company does help out a subsequent wrongful death suit.

Basically it is managed Wireguard. Tailscale does say it, but it is buried under marketing speak.

It's also P2P mesh rather than hub and spoke which is quite important

It’s worth pointing out that it can be both. The hub and spoke model, relays, is often used for cloud setups where the overhead of installing clients on nodes is not worth the tradeoff

This. People are doing the same thing that OP mentioned in this thread.

Print on paper. Physically cut out the pieces you want to send to remove. Scan.

Still suspect that someone can undo this from data may have been accidentally steaganographed across non-deleted parts of the image.

I think even after printing and scanning there could still be jpg artfacts from the original (e.g. if you scan lossless).

However, I wonder whether heavily compressing the redacted image would help remove any unwanted artefacts. But the best solution is probably to render the original file from scratch, without compression, before redacting the image.

Microdots may leak your identity this way (though I guess a really high resolution scan is needed for that)

It's no problem if they leak the fact that an FBI office printer was used to print the documents the FBI released.

Not sure but that might actually add your printer's unique dots to the scanned image.

You can also make guesses from font/typeface kerning if it's not from a typewriter.

It has been available under the name Rybelsus in India since 2022..

A random popular article on ieee.org is not a Phase 3 RCT published in the NEJM.

Click bait is click bait but reliably reels in the gullible.

This is part of the enshittification of everything.

Udemy was generally crap.

Coursera was decent.

Crap eats decent.

Team at a bank I know went from 13 members to 2. The remaining two are likely to be outsourced. They are trying to transition to the business side.

Folks in Hyderabad can run LLMs too and data centre and infrastructure costs are lower in India.
