He had a pretrial diversion, which means his guilt is undetermined in a criminal court. [05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:39] the "pled guilty" part was said by you at the time [05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:39] Even if he was determined, not guilty in a criminal court, that does not mean that he did not commit the [05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:39] I mean, I suspected it, but yeah [05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:40] whenever I sent over the documentation, that's whenever I knew the full story [05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:40] At first, I thought he had a deferred adjudication, which is a similar, but different scenario in which you do you plead guilty [05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:40] But then they wipe the charges after a few years [05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:41] In a pretrial diversion, you don't plead guilty, but you also have to do a program and stay up out of trouble for six months [05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:41] It's essentially probation without having it go on your record [05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:42] Either way, just remember that OJ was never convicted in criminal court, but he was determined to be guilty in the civil court [05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:42] So your ability to say he's guilty, or not really is a matter of opinion [05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:42] I am learning way too much about the law right now I could be a lawyer by the end of this.

[05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:47] The system is super fucked up [05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:47] They basically come up with these programs, claiming that they're trying to help first time offenders and for people to get a clean slate if they've made a mistake [05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:48] But people like Alex, who have been committing crimes for years and avoiding the law can use a good lawyer to get them out of trouble [05:35] schestowitz[TR] [22:49] And most people that are minorities and poor get busted more frequently, therefore, they don't qualify [05:36] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.thetexastrialattorney.com | Pretrial Diversion vs. Deferred Adjudication in Texas | Thiessen Law Firm ● Mar 03 [06:26] *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@nqkitbgnqjad4.irc) has joined #techbytes [06:56] *Disconnected (Connection reset by peer).

    Not that simple: Email delivery in the 21st century
    [09:06] schestowitz[TR]
    [09:06] schestowitz[TR]

    Delivering emails is not a straightforward task. As Figure 1 shows, the number of email-related standards has more than quadrupled over the past two decades.

    [09:06] schestowitz[TR]

    The fundamental protocol for email delivery, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) was specified in 1982 and originally built without authentication. Anyone could relay emails through a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA). This led to an increasing amount of unsolicited bulk emails also known as SPAM.

[11:58] schestowitz[TR] The future of the European patent system depends on how the EPO, as a public service, is able to set worldwide standards to foster innovation in the interest of European society. Consequently, management should take the criticism very seriously. The staff would be perfectly capable of carrying out prior art searches of the highest quality and, accordingly, conducting patent examination procedures that result either in patents that s [11:58] schestowitz[TR] tand up in court or in refusals when adequate. Mismanagement resulting in declining quality should be put under the spotlight: time budgets and incentive systems for staff, recruitment policy, HR policies, IT strategy, etc. [11:58] schestowitz[TR] The Staff Committee is ready to contribute actively and constructively to these points so as to respond to external criticism and put quality back on the EPOs agenda.

    The curl nuget story
    [13:55] schestowitz[TR]
    [13:55] schestowitz[TR]

    Recently there has been an interesting debate in the Open Source world where people have objected to being called Suppliers as in Supply Chain Security when you are but an Open Source developer offering your code to the world for free and at no cost but also without any warranties. That is not a supplier, thats just a creator.

    [13:55] schestowitz[TR]

    A supplier would have some form of relationship or contract with the users of your code.

    [13:55] schestowitz[TR]

    Terminology is difficult and yet powerful but changing what words we use for certain things is an uphill fight. I suspect we will keep using the term supplier even when we are not under contract.

    Of course, no one should let code written by AI be executed automatically. In fact, product teams everywhere are adding security and privacy guardrails to AI features. This specific scenario was probably my fault, though it still caught me off guard that it was possible.

    In an interview with bianet after the ban, Baak Purut, the platform's CEO, had said they would take legal action against the decision.

    The ban came amid an intense public debate over last month's massive earthquakes while the reason for it was not disclosed.

    [15:26] schestowitz[TR]

    The authorities had also restricted access to Twitter for nearly an entire day after the earthquakes that claimed over 45,000 lives in Trkiye's south and southeast.

    After the major earthquake that took place in Turkey on 6 February, covering 10 provinces and a population of approximately 15 million, bandwidth restriction for social media platforms such as Twitter and Tiktok was implemented. Whenever the current government was criticised for not meeting its obligations, throttling was used as an option to filter and prevent the flow of information.

    The Daily Swig launched in 2017 to provide a free, independent news service to the web security community.

    [15:29] schestowitz[TR]

    During this period, the way that readers consume news has evolved considerably. News today is largely consumed through various aggregators, with little loyalty to, or even awareness of, the news publishers brand. In this context, there is limited business value for a software vendor to provide a service such as The Daily Swig at no cost.
