"We need to regulate and there are clear international standards and we should implement those here." There absolutely are not "clear international standards", which is a significant part of the problem, and if she's the technology spokesperson for TOP and doesn't know that? Yikes.

The Pentagon is notifying millions of current and former U.S. military servicemembers and staff that hackers stole their *unencrypted* personal information during a months-long data breach. The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases.

I was a teacher at Te Papa when the Brian Brake exhibition was on, he's the Kiwi who revolutionised museum photography. Before him objects were always lit from every angle, but Brake lit from the side, so the shadows revealed the fine detail. He took the pictures for Te Māori.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

My position on why the EU- NZ trade agreement complaint’s so serious- we can’t have it both ways - we can’t claim to be honest brokers on a world stage while at home we’re not keeping to the fair climate/sustainability rules we expect our trade partners to also stick to www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

It takes incredible arrogance to say "You're harming the country by pointing that that we're breaching the terms of an agreement we made. That's like me saying I'm hurting PB tech by pointing out they have to adhere to the consumer guarantees act if they sell me something broken.

Not a great sign when your 12-person private fundraiser includes someone who hates you enough to leak damaging audio

The audio of Mr. Paxton was shared with The Times by an attendee who recorded him speaking at a private fund-raiser in Washington attended by roughly a dozen people. The person, who opposes Mr. Paxton’s campaign and provided the recording to The Times, was granted anonymity because Mr. Paxton’s remarks were private.

there's literally no option for "No, he's a fucking idiot" "Wwhat an idiot" implies he's an idiot for ruling out working with TOP, but that's not *why* he's an idiot and it therefore *cannot* accurately gauge anything because every option implies he might not be an idiot otherwise.

Is Christopher Luxon wise to rule out working with Opportunity?
