That’s how it used to be used, but has since been reclaimed. It’s safe to use.

This company wasn’t exactly targeted. It could have happened to literally anyone.

You could build a mobile/watch app that communicates to a self hosted server when the device gets unlocked. if you don’t get that signal at least once over a week, trigger the switch.

Oh the EU will definitely call this anticompetitive. Especially when nVidia have a monopoly in the AI segment as is.

So this looks like it’s based in Java code.

A public class means that any bit of Java code, including that injected by an attacker, can see and mess with the contents of that class.

A private class, in contrast, means that other bits of Java code are restricted to running the class’s predefined functions.

In theory it is supposed to help with the security of the data. In practice if an attacker gets to this point, you’ve got much bigger issues.

Just reading through the rust book (a week, maybe? I don’t remember how much time it took) will make you able to confidently write a simple CLI program.

You can do the same in Java or especially Python from zero much, much quicker.

Also you can learn to go beyond simple CLI programs in those languages much quicker, because you don’t have to worry about memory management.

The most manual way is what C does, which is requiring the programmer to check memory safety by themselves.😛

The difference is, Rust will throw a tantrum if you do things in an unsafe way. C/C++ won’t even check. It’ll just chug along.

Rust is really not that harder than Java or Python.

As someone who’s done all three, the fuck it isn’t.

If you are familiar with C/C++ best practices to any operational level, those things will translate over to Rust quite nicely. If not, that learning curve is going to be fucking ridiculous with all the new concepts you have to juggle that you just don’t with either Java or Python.

The fact it comes from urban dictionary is immaterial. It could come from a Facebook post or a YouTube comment.

The fact is, when you’re quoting something, anything, taking such liberties with the quote, even if seemingly innocuous and well-intentioned, is a professional minefield no journalistic publication is going to want to touch.

The problem is, if you’re quoting someone or something, it is considered very unprofessional to make even the slightest changes, even correcting typos in written materials. That’s what the [sic] is for, to denote that this is literally how it’s written in the source.

That performance was peak Eurovision though! I have never been so entertained by an entry before!

This isn’t The Onion…

Do you think they’d be able to understand Shakespeare? Or a spell book from the same time as Shakespeare?

The bigger question is, do they need to understand Shakespeare?

Shakespeare is important in UK Muggle culture, not so much elsewhere, including the wizarding world which very much has their own cultural icons.

They probably aren’t getting their spells from books that old either. The reason we don’t transpose Shakespeare to modern language is the loss of artistic intent in the process. Something that wouldn’t apply to purely factual books like a spell book.

Besides, they are expected to learn Latin; that’s where their spells come from.

It comes from the phrase “ate it up” (meaning to gullibly believe something) and The Onion, one of the most famous satirical ‘news’ outlets.

It means to believe a satirical news piece.

Imagine you get back after a long, hectic, infuriating day. You hear your car beep for fuel so you pull into a gas station.

You get out and you go through the motions of filling up your car. It is such a usual procedure you don’t have to think any more. Which is good because you’re using that time to think of choice words to describe your asshole boss.

You go into the station, pay and come back, still very much on autopilot while you think about your boss.

Except there’s one motion you didn’t go through. And now it haunts your gas tank forever. Until you take it off.

Do you happen to know why he wouldn’t have executed the options before this suit?

It’s Elon. There are a wealth of possible reasons, ranging from actually reasonable to ‘it sounded better in my head’. Elon can be kinda erratic in his judgement sometimes.

One possibility is that he may have been attempting his usual market manipulation shenanigans; he is quite blatant about using his cult of personality for this. Wherever he publicly goes in the market, he is followed by millions of worshipping fanboys. They raise the price, he executes, pretty much instant profit right there.

He could also be thinking the price would plummet below the contract price (or that he could make it do so then raise it again).

Or maybe he didn’t like the fact that he’d have to hold them for 5 years before being able to do what he wanted with. Elon is not known to simply abide by trading regulations.

Maybe he wanted a tax write off?

Or he could have simply forgot.

The only real benefit to Elon is that he didn’t have to pay out for shares he was no longer interested in buying, even if he did make a bit of a loss with the options.

There wouldn’t be additional English literature classes, sure, but by age 11 it’s mostly just practice and looking up words you don’t know anyway.

So since he hasn’t executed on the options, there’s nothing he has to actually pay back, but he also won’t be allowed to exercise those options and purchase what would have been $56 billion worth of dirt cheap stocks?

Yes. Options have expiry dates. Him letting the options expire cuts off those cheap stocks for him.

Net worth calculations take all known assets into account, this includes options. Naturally the options are completely worthless now.

True, but their methods of learning do not differ significantly from that of muggles. They still need to take classes the same way we do, and this would need to learn maths and logic the same way too.

What are options?

It’s a form of contract that allows (but does not obligate) a person to buy X amount of shares for Y price in the future, regardless of the going rate at the time.

Does this mean he didn’t receive this compensation yet, and now he simply won’t receive it, assuming the company doesn’t appeal or move states like the article mentions?

It means he hasn’t executed on those options yet - he hasn’t yet bought those stocks at the price agreed.

Reading is very common at Hogwarts and the wider wizarding world. Hogwarts has an extensive library, and most of their communications and news media are done over written mediums.

Contrast that to maths where the hardest thing most wizards would realistically have to do is basic money operations. Made even harder by their bonkers monetary system.
