I agree with the example given in the sibling comment, and this is why the framers believed there needed to be a final “safety valve” outside the courts. Legal systems are imperfect, and sometimes a pardon is the only practical way to remedy an egregious error.

Another example where pardons might be useful is when laws are changed after sentencing. If the new law does not provide for retroactive adjustments, a president or governor can grant clemency in order to correct disparities in sentencing outcomes.

Ah, thanks. Yeah I was confused because in his long list of vendors he didn't mention Wasabi, Backblaze etc. It appears that I do not know the context of his post.

He probably means the large German drug store chain called DM.

The headline was mis-typed here: you're missing the apostrophe in "driver's licenses".

I agree; I'm calling "incorrect" on this for now, pending corroborating sources. I run a few sites that don't contain a robots.txt file, and they are showing on Google just fine. I see links to the home page and several interior pages; all good.

Ah, I think I recall the story you're referring to: reporter Josh Renaud of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch discovered that a public web site was exposing Social Security numbers of teachers in Missouri. He notified the site's administrators, and later published a story about the leak after it was fixed.

The governor of Missouri at the time, Mike Parson, called him a hacker and advocated prosecuting him. Fortunately the prosecutor's office declined to file charges though.

Can anyone elaborate on what they're referring to here?

GPT‑5.2-Codex has stronger cybersecurity capabilities than any model we’ve released so far. These advances can help strengthen cybersecurity at scale, but they also raise new dual-use risks that require careful deployment.

I'm curious what they mean by the dual-use risks.

I think I understand where he's at. If your web site has compatibility issues with smaller browsers like Firefox at 3%, Opera at 2% etc. then you could be losing out on 5% of your sales. If you were to approach any CEO and ask if they'd be interested in an initiative to increase sales by 5%, they would most likely express an interest.

starting from ground zero

You probably mean "starting from square one" but yeah I get you

I had one client spending $12,000 per month on Google Ads

In Google Ads you can just turn off the option to run your ads on non-Google sites; I think it's called their Display Network. Just run your campaign only on Google's search pages.

I'm surprised the article doesn't mention this rather common solution.

Fantastic. Another great one that blew my mind (and P&T's) is Nick Einhorn from the first season, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma-S9-bgvlg&t=77s

The funny thing is, this error message is hardly less useful than the recent trend of error messages which say only, "Something went wrong".

The title should be corrected to "Earth's", which is the original NYT headline. "Earths" would mean more than one Earth.

I think you probably mean "shouldn't have". There is no "shouldn't of".

Get a taxi or ride-share maybe?

I was expecting the article to cover this possibility, but it didn't mention it.

Ah, yeah. If this signal reaches your neighbor across the street, then maybe it's a "public performance" and you've got to get ASCAP and BMI licenses.

(And start taking requests.)

Connected storage, then?

That ain't no backup

That's the case of Cameron Willingham, for which there is an excellent write-up of the details at https://archive.is/HAhJi .

And what's this "DNS test" which diagnosed it?

He states that they typically won't sue you for debts of just a few hundred dollars, but if it's over $1000, then they're more likely to sue you in order to be able to garnish your wages and bank accounts, and/or file liens against your property.

So, "maxing out all your credit cards" it depends on just how much that maxxing would be.

My same question, yeah. If you think of buying a new car, for example, the salesman will size up the customer in all sorts of ways, taking many signals into account in order to negotiate the price as high as he think he can get the customer to agree to. Perfectly legal, and it happens all the time.

I don't know if this DoorDash suit named the specific area of law that they allege was violated, but I would need to understand the difference between what DoorDash is doing and my scenario of the car salesman, for example.

Ironically on a punctuation blog, it looks like he has a punctuation typo in his title. In the headline, the semi-colon after "hyphen" should actually be a colon. So the corrected headline is "En dash, em dash and hyphen: what’s the difference?"

A colon is used in this context, when you're introducing the question that follows.

Yep, still chugging along with Windows 7 here; it sure is fine by me

Yeah, you don't need TV news. TV news is mostly commentary these days
