Performed my first plea in mitigation as a 1st year(I didn’t know what one was until 2 days ago) and a QC from Lamb Building Chamber’s said I was ‘SCARY GOOD’ and was scared to interrupt me.. safe to say I’m beyond excited and feel extremely encouraged! #LambBuildingSummerSchool

Some companies use your personal data, like browsing history, to serve different prices to different costumers. It’s called surveillance pricing, and we just banned it in New York City. This tweet will say the same thing in incognito mode, don’t worry.

One company goes down and the entire corporate world is paralyzed. Microsoft has become so deeply embedded in global productivity that it’s almost scary. If that’s not a monopoly level dependency, I don’t know what is.

Hospitals, governments, banks, airlines all run on Microsoft. At what point is this not just an outage, but a national security issue?
It's pretty obvious that after many hours, the top people in tech don't know how to fix this. Considering how much of the world runs on Microsoft, this is very concerning.

maybe we should question why half the world relies on one private company to provide crucial digital services for work etc… microsoft being down should be a wake up call to diversify

Yo solo espero que los ingenieros de Microsoft estén en ese bucle de: "No puedo entrar en Authenticator porque Authenticator me pide un código que debe salirme en Authenticator y que no me sale porque no puedo entrar en la Authenticator". ¡Que sufran!

Quite. And imagine his shock when he finds out one of the major factors contributing to rising food prices was Brexit
The amount that food prices have risen is just insane. They’re up 40% since 2019! Much of this is directly due to the Tories’ and Labour’s crazy energy policies and big hikes in National Insurance. They’re also both responsible for the ‘Packaging Tax’. The Tories created it, Labour enacted it. It costs the average household £52 a year. We’ll scrap it in our first Budget. Altogether, with lower taxes, cheaper energy and less mad regulation, we’ll cut your food and shopping bills by £140 a year.

India has 22 official languages. China recognises 55 distinct ethnic minority groups. Nigeria has 4 official languages and 400+ regional languages. Iraq has 2 official/3 regional languages. Sounds like the issue is that you are ignorant of the world.
India has no diversity. China has no diversity. North Korea has no diversity. Nigeria has no diversity. Iraq has no diversity. Iran has no diversity. Afghanistan has no diversity So why is it that every white Christian country must have diversity??
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
India: 22 scheduled languages, 100s of ethnic groups. China: 55 minorities (Han ~91%). Nigeria: 250+ ethnic groups, 500+ languages. Iran/Iraq/Afghanistan: large minorities (Azeris, Kurds, Pashtuns/Tajiks/Hazaras). N. Korea nearly homogeneous. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_e… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_gr… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_c…

Man who sung Hitler youth songs while at Dulwich college laying a wreath. Despicable.
🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage lays a wreath at the Cenotaph for the first time after Reform UK reached enough MPs

The fact that generative Al has created a fundamental doubt in reality. We now pause to check if an artwork, video, or design is even human-made before we can fully appreciate it. It has damaged the instinctive joy of it. It's sickeningly tragic.

I’m perfectly fine with my child-free taxes contributing to your children’s education, meals, and healthcare. I’m also happy to help fund your mother’s cancer treatment and your cousin’s insulin. That’s what a functioning society should look like. You’re welcome.

There’s literally a children’s board game whose whole premise is showing how free market capitalism ends with one person owning everything while everyone else goes bankrupt.

The "you're not American, stay out of it" argument is ridiculous. The U.S. has enormous influence over the rest of the world. Its presidents make decisions that affect millions of people who never voted for them. If American politics can affect my life, I can certainly have an opinion about it.

“You hate billionaires, but you want to be rich.” No. I want enough money to live a comfortable, peaceful life and be generous with people around me. Not wealth built on exploitation, hoarding, or treating the planet like it is disposable.

I’m surprised people in marketing still don’t get the memo that AI-generated ads will just make people not want to buy the product more

This is what you are supporting every time you use AI. If this doesnt make you sick to your stomach, I dont know what will.
Google illegally cleared an estimated 250,000 trees across 330 hectares of forest in Muhos, northern Finland, to prepare for a new AI data center before completing mandatory environmental impact assessments And another 150,000 trees felled at Otanmäki theguardian.com/environment/…

I’m over here recycling toilet paper roll cores, using my own bags, not running the water when I brush my teeth, while billionaires are blowing up rockets and building water-polluting data centers. It’s hard not to be discouraged.
