Probably involves Zuckerberg testifying to Congress on a frequent basis.

Sadly, there was insufficient room in the title to say for which country or company.</snark>
But, as someone else has pointed out:
it’s the purported Ronald Reagan problem writ large. Those whose living is made reading out the words of others tend not to have the internal thought and decision making processes to do proper politics. Ronnie did actually have some proper thoughts on how the world should be even if his memory of them became a bit hazy – we’ve no evidence whatsoever that Angelina has even thought about the hard stuff let alone got any interesting conclusions.
Nevertheless, (trolly fodder ahead)
The film star who is a worldwide humanitarian campaigner said she “would go where I am needed” when asked if she would contemplate a political career, potentially by entering the race for Democrat party presidential nomination.
She may be more popular than the last natal female that attempted it for that party...

Lack of (internal) thought processes certainly haven't been a show-stopper so far ... unfortunately.

@PJH Does she have less political experience or expertise than the current one? Unlikely.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Saturday, Giles York, the Chief Constable of Sussex Police said that he could not rule out the possibility that some sightings of drones reported during the incident were of drones that Sussex Police had flown over the airport for surveillance purposes.
Seems UK plod should be allowed nothing more technical than a whistle and a truncheon.
And possibly a (plastic) knife.

@topspin someone at the top of any large company has plenty of experience in politics, just not the public office kind. I don't give a flying fuck about the lives of actors, so I have no idea if Jolie is actually involved in any companies in any capacity like that.

I'm sure you could hazard a guess however...

@Carnage
At a minimum, Jolie has lots of experience in dealing with handsy men from her Hollywood career, so she's got the right experience for the Party of Biden (Or Trump, for that matter...)

When will it be legal for me to be made into furniture? If I could be made into a chair, with y'know whopping amounts of denaturant, fixatives, and lacquer til I turn to hard plastic, I might forgo being blown up in a field somewhere.

Try bribing Dr. Gunther von Hagens or one of his students? He's famous for preserving entire bodies in plastic.

@Cursorkeys Good initiative, but does a SWAT team even have the capability to take down an Australian spider?
-
@Cursorkeys Two of the spider's left legs (on the right side of the picture) coincidentally align in the photo, making look like a strange bifurcated leg.
Fortunately the thumbnail image is 2473x1810, so I was able to zoom in and see what was going on.

In June 2016, the sisters were hit with a bombshell: Their father, Douglas Grensted, who had been declared legally dead after disappearing on a hunting trip in 1968, had actually faked his death to run off with his mistress to Arizona. He died there in December 2015.

That man is awful for doing that to his family.

Algorithms cannot completely model the real world,” Anandkumar said, noting that “the algorithm by itself is not the main culprit. … We need to figure out ways to regulate human behavior more than anything else

Summary: AI is still a pile of shit, and almost nobody working in the field can figure out why. Because why would overfitting some data containing poorly understood biases ever result in trouble? Every bit of data is sacred! Approximations and generalisations must not be permitted!

Genital burns are the least things you should be concerned about if you're falling asleep while driving....

And coffee is probably one of the biggest things you should be concerned about if you're falling asleep while driving.
That, or find somewhere to pull over. At least long enough to let the coffee cool so that you can drink it and hopefully wake up.

To all Oreganos out here - good news! You are safe to call yourselves software engineers!

Would you want to though? Sounds like a bad idea in any context.
-
@kazitor well, when you're e.g. applying for visa somewhere, and they want your current occupation, for many software engineers it's kinda the only way not to lie (and not lying is important when applying for visa).
