You think the company buying up all the books, cutting off the bindings, and feeding them through a scanner isn't also distilling other models?

The author couldn't even get through the first two sentences without being wrong. Credit card rewards are not funded by interest and this idea that credit card companies don't want you paying off your bill every month is retarded.

It's not executing untrusted code, it's calling git when you have a malicious version of git on your system

No, read the report. It will call an executable called git.exe in the untrusted repo.

git clone a repo, cd into the directory, git checkout ..., and you're compromised

In this case, if you just run a git command yourself it executes the file as well.

On windows I guess?

On Linux and MacOS you'd need to run ./git to execute a malicious binary in the cloned repo.

You can leave out cursor and it would do the same thing.

What analysis has shown that people are not doing this? All I have seen is that there aren't a significant number of convictions, but that doesn't really hold wait if you aren't actually trying to catch/prevent people from doing it. If it never happened, there wouldn't be a standard well known practice of casting a provisional ballot if you have already "voted".

It's another GOP boogie man used to suppress the vote. Personally, I'm a fan of legally mandating everyone vote or pay a fine like in Australia.

That was a day or two ago.
