No problem just find more. It’s pretty easy.
Offshore wind kills the jet stream and creates climate change.
Now how about the adults?
Can’t wait for data centers in space, then all this political bullshit goes away. It’s all coming from china.

No, it’s the judges. Lawyers stretch laws to win a case or obtain settlement. They’re scum.

Can we please enforce existing laws? Maybe AI and robotics, and get rid of all the lawyers.
Bring back Scott Forstall and get rid of half the employees at Apple. Time to clean house, they’ve lost their innovation and hunger.
Now we know why El Niño is particularly bad this year, all those windmills slowing down the jet stream.
Now if I can find those 8” wordstar floppies.

Apparently not. IT does security patches, OT neglects them. You get what you get.

The playbook, per federal officials, was crude but effective: attackers remotely accessed internet-facing operational technology, changed device IP addresses and passwords, and locked utility operators out of their own monitoring and control systems, NBC News reported. The PSA is now pleading with utilities to do the bare minimum - pull programmable logic controllers off the open internet and put them behind gateways and firewalls, use actual passwords, and restrict which devices are allowed to talk to one another.

Not really. Just patch and reboot. Pretty simple.
Wouldn’t it just be easier to crawl the net? Not sure what huggingface has to do with anything here.

Absolutely 100% spot on. It’s not a political issue, it’s a technical issue. Disconnect them from the internet. Run your security patches. Check your logs. Water supplies are pretty important, do your job.
A public water authority needs to step it up, at least to the level of other public water authorities who don’t have the problem. Simple matter of disconnecting it from the internet and running security patches, c’mon man!
CISA staff doesn’t do security patches and updates on local water supplies. You’re mixing a lot of stuff around there, none of it relevant to the discussion.
Mandamus will tax it
Where does all the money go? Not to cyber apparently.
Without me and your mom you wouldn’t exist.
That here on ycombinator saying to follow the law gets you downvoted and flagged. Let that sink in.
Re:GCC steering committee announces AI policy on Thursday July 30, 2026 @05:58PM (#49116397)
What would be most productive is an open source AI.
I know it’s weird for the tendies here, but both sides have to follow the law and respect the law. Not a hard concept. That’s why we have laws. If you don’t like the laws where you are, move to a place that has laws compatible with your views.
Not old, evolved. Bees were going extinct, remember?
Nope
Everybody here an expert, but no trillionaires, billionaires, and I’m guessing millionaires
There goes the dark sky
Now you know who is on which side.
It’s no tech all lecture about evil nobody wants to listen to that shit.
