Absolutely, but it isn't up to their employers to punish them.

Resignation is often used in these kinds of cases, because there's really no framework to fire them, since they didn't actually violate any of the terms on which they're hired. They should be tried for the crimes they've committed under the jurisdiction of the place where the crime was committed. Not in some random board meeting in a different country.

What happens is that the board says "even if you didn't violate our terms or any local laws, we don't see our organization being able to work with someone like you, so we urge you to do what is best for both parts, which is that you resign voluntarily."

If they don't, then the board can say "the existence of potential criminal cases against you can harm the reputation of our organization, so now you're fired." The outcome is almost the same, but this could create a lot more negative attention to what the company knew about.

Three wise men decided to stop by for no reason.

If someone posted how it actually works, it would probably get upvoted, because the real explanation is more exotic than what most people think.

The fan is connected to a small electric engine, powered by an electronic device in between the top and bottom parts. This device runs on fediverse upvotes.

Put a cloth iron on top and leave it running.

I think the point could be stated more clearly by only using the bottom picture.

The snow that is scraped from the road is dirty, while the snow from the pavement is ... less dirty. It might be dirt or exhaust or whatever. Roads and pavements are just filthy.

More interestingly, if you live in a place where the piles don't thaw quickly, you can watch the road side of the snow getting progressively more dirty from the ongoing exhaust even if the road is not scraped afterwards. At the end of the season, the roadside snow piles will look charcoal black. It's most noticable at crossings where cars run the engines at red light. Had it all been just dirt, it would look the same everywhere along the road, but it doesn't.

"AI first company"? What does it even mean?

Why can't they just be a gay dating app that makes use of AI?

The word "first" implies that AI is going to the primary focus.

So, they want to change their core business from being a gay dating app to being an AI company?

With explanations like "AI is not a specific feature", I have to wonder what makes them think their company is able to do anything competitive in the already saturated AI market.

And then use the solar panels to power a water boiler.

I'll have you know that I put my entire OS installation on a broken USB stick that I found on a parking lot.

The plastic case keeps falling off, but it works fine.

Would you believe anyone who told you?

Because that would be the actual problem.
