The incident, he added, amounted to “piracy”.

That exact word came to mind when reading about the incident.

And there is international law on piracy:

there is universal jurisdiction over piracy on the high seas. Pirates are denied protection of the flag state and all states have the right to seize a pirate ship on the high seas and to prosecute in national courts.[

Frontex and coast guards in general need oversight. Things can happen out of sight, at sea, there’s a great risk for this kind of behaviour.

Not having the right to work doesn’t necessarily mean asylum seeker won’t work. I suspect it make them more likely to accept undeclared odd jobs. In which case they wouldn’t work less, but would pay no taxes, and have worse working conditions.

Do it

That’s the solution I picked at work. Refused to install that Microsoft software on my personal phone, but instead provided a phone number.

If you have a VoIP provider you could even try to the VoIP number for MFA instead of providing your real mobile number.

If IT make a comment about you not having the app, ask if they intend to provide a company device for that.

If the company cared, they would provide MFA hardware like Yubikeys to their employees.

124 countries isn’t nothing. The list include countries from all continents, many Europeans and African countries, Australia, Canada, Mexico, … . Being under an arrest warrant which applies in all 124 countries would be a major pain, even if USA & China & Russia are missing from that list.

Cars are resources intensive in general, although EVs clearly pollute less, even when taking batteries into account (lifecycle analysis), and even if electricity used to charge them isn’t renewable.

All cars company deserve some push back, but producing EVs isn’t a good reason to single out Tesla.

In this case it seems there’s another factor, which are fear for water resources due to putting too much/large factories in one place, and Elon being an asshole.

That’s consistent with past reports of secret unauthorized PRC police stations in the USA/UK/Netherlands/Germany/Canada/….

Their ostensible purpose is to help Chinese citizens overseas with administrative issues […]

However, there are also reports of the stations being involved in “persuade to return” operations.

WTF Hungary?

Beating people to death, an interesting strategy to stop complaints about people being beaten to death.

What are the consequences for researchers at LSU trying to publish?

Are they expected to disclose such “partnership” signed by their host university in their declaration on conflict of interest? What if they don’t? Will journal correct papers to add a note on conflicts of interest?

Multiple alarms going off simultaneously can’t be a false positive. I hope there’s penalty for silencing alarms and letting resident come back.

I guess no one called a fire marshal or the place would have been immediately closed down.

The famine is now much worse it seems, so it’s not wrong to refer to it as recent development in the headline of a news article.

Speaking of which, the headline currently reads:

It’s not just Israeli bombs that have killed children in Gaza. Now some are dying of hunger too

Which is different from the post’s title. Did the headline change, or did you editorialize?

If Trump is fabulously wealthy, then E. Jean Carroll has found an infinite money maker: sue Trump for libel, collect money, repeat. If not, then E. Jean Carroll has found a way to bankrupt Trump.

All leaders involved should see victims up close. A little empathy might motivate them to do more to end the war.

Taiwain’s giving everyone a democracy lesson. They’re properly countering misinformation, and doing so without endangering free speech.

Notably, Taiwan has resisted calls for tougher laws that would require social media platforms to police their sites; a proposal to institute such rules was withdrawn in 2022 after free speech concerns were raised.
