So the author got nothing but a thank you out of it? That's a shame.

At least there was a "thank you".

Some go on to sue such researchers.

Yup, they said thank you and took action only because this was a US-based researcher. Had any Indian dared to do this they'd be in for a world of pain. Not through a lawsuit, but criminal charges.

Typical 'payout' for ""responsible"" disclosure.

I couldn't find a specialised page for it. But here they mention that the relay service can be self hosted: https://docs.netbird.io/about-netbird/how-netbird-works#rela...

Wondering if I should also pitch in a backhanded compliment for doing something good or if we already have enough of those in this thread.

NYTimes in 4 days: "Analysts mention that the radical forestry has military applications for Chinese forces training for a potential Western European conflict."

Wasn't there already a report that stated Microsoft and OpenAI understand AGI as something like 100 billion dollars in revenue for the purpose of their agreements? Even that seems like a pipe dream at the moment.

How is there not a contradiction between 1 and 2? If 1 is true then the jobs are offered to non-white candidates who are undeserving. If 2 is true then the jobs are offered to non-white candidates who are deserving.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. It's obviously possible for the extremely weak claim made by statement 2 to be true (i.e. for some non-zero number of "deserving" nonwhites to exist and for existing hiring to not be a perfect meritocracy) in the same universe where the sort of programs typically labelled "DEI" tend to have anti-meritocratic effects. You seem to be suggesting that if competent nonwhites exist, then anything labelled DEI will automatically have the effect of causing orgs to hire more competent people, but... why? There's zero reason that should logically follow.

The technology is cool. It's microsoft that's not. Tools like this already existed on Mac.

It is the same shortcut as less, vim, etc. There is plenty of precedent to choose it.

Wow

Unsurprising that someone with such beliefs would be too much of a coward to use their real account.
