Any punishment to the company will be paid by it's customers anyway... For any large company fines and legal fees are calculated in as a cost of doing business. Prison for execs will just lead to fall guys getting the job while the real beneficiaries i.e. major stakeholders will pull the string from the shadows. If you want this to stop you have to go after them. Something like community service or % of their stock holdings going to the victims would be more effective imo.

Edit: You may not like what i'm saying but deep down you know i'm right.

    Nobody publicly known other than some insider traders. It seems like an excuse to explain/cause the stock value drop that started well before this came to light. Pretty standard practice to rekt over-leveraged longs and then slurp up the dip. Fundamentally nothing changed, the world still needs GPUs.

    I'm convinced that the whole data center water usage thing is a psyop to get people focused on that instead of real issues with data centers and AI like job loss, power consumption, hardware shortages and local environmental effects. Like hey 👋, don't talk about that 🫢, look over here 👀 Here 👉, IT'S THE COMPUTERS 🖥️, THEY DRINKIN' ALL THE WATER 😱, WE'RE GONNA RUN OUT😭, please be upset about that and not the real issues 🙏, it's not like water just falls out of the fucking sky right 💦.

    Kierwiński’s characterization, however, appears to contradict what is believed to be the suspect’s social media profile, which points in the opposite direction regarding his ideological affiliation.

    One photograph shows Oksiński posing with an LGBT Pride flag while wearing a gas mask and a military-style beret. Other screenshots from his apparent Facebook account show him mocking Christianity and Pope John Paul II, including a photo featuring the late pontiff and a bottle of beer. In another exchange, he jokingly responded to a comment comparing the red lighting in a photograph to communism by calling it a ‘subliminal message’.

    Wouldn't it be

    • 0xA mm = 0x1 cm
    • 0x64 cm = 0x1 m
    • 0x3E8 m = 0x1 km
    • 0x1 km - 0x1 m = 0x3E7 m = 0x3E7/0x3E8 km = 0x0.FFBE76C8B4395810624D... km

    Edit: nvm I see what you mean, but then we should change the units too, to something like xmm, xcm etc.

    TLDW:

    Brazil is requiring OS level age verification by march 17th, 2026.

    New York about to vote on a law that would "require all manufacturers of internet-enabled devices, operating systems, or application stores to conduct commercially reason-able and technically feasible age assurance for users at the point of device activation."

    In order to “incentivize” age verification, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that they will ignore COPPA violations for software performing age verification.
