I also wonder how many of them also lobbied in favor of similar policies. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s also 100% of them.

It’s not even clear to me that the mechanism they’re using today is problematic. I don’t know what it is, but the author seems to think they do but aren’t sharing details beyond “trust me bro”. I agree that some kind of inspection-based detection might run afoul of the law, but I don’t see why that’s necessary. All you need to know is that the client is requesting videos without any of the ad requests making it through, which is entirely server-side.

Where my 4.19 gang at?

I subscribe to M365 because my kids’ schools all distribute their assignments as Word docs. And they apparently use the most obscure formatting features, so the only way to get them to render and print properly is to use full Office desktop. Not even the web apps show them properly, and LibreOffice / google docs import totally mangle them.

This map is completely meaningless. The local value of “one money” in each country’s currency varies massively. A Coke might cost 1 dollar in Australia but cost 1000 won in South Korea, but Australians make 50,000 dollars per year while South Koreans make 3,500,000 won per year.

My friend’s theory was that a lot of it is because of how long and dark the winters are in northern europe.

I don’t even know why they’re trying; the only people I know who have comcast have literally no other choice. Their marketing could be “get fukd what you gonna do get satellite internet?” and their subscriber base would drop less than 5%.

It doesn’t really matter what you personally use if you’re going to make sweeping generalizations about the quality of streaming music. It’s like saying stainless steel knives are trash just because there exist knives made of tungsten carbide.

wtf did I just read

lol Michigan UP get rekt

temporary detransition

That’s a very strange way to phrase it. I wish we could just recognize that sex and gender can be orthogonal properties of an organism.

When you’re listening on a shitty bluetooth speaker or earbuds it really doesn’t matter.

Only if they are well-known in the language you’re using or domain you’re writing for. x and y are fine for coordinates. i and j are fine for loop indices. But abbreviating things unnecessarily is bad IMO. s = GetSession() is too terse, for example.

That’s by draining the battery, not by sustaining a charge. If it gets 710km in the sun and 660km in cloudy weather, it probably gets 610 without any solar panels at all.

So the solar panels contributed an effective 1.2 MPH to the trip.

the probability that the satellite debris will not be completely burned during the fall and cause injury or death to people on the ground is 0.6 per year. This means it would happen once every two years

That doesn’t mean it will fucking hit someone. The surface area of the planet is 510e12 m^{2. There are about 8B people on the planet. Even if we conservatively assume that everyone is lying flat on their back in the middle of an open field, that’s only about 8B m}2 of vulnerable surface area. At that rate, you’d expect an injury interval of 510e12 / 8e9 / 0.6 = 1 injury every 106 thousand years. Yes there is some correlation of common orbits and human population, so we can be conservative and put it at 50,000 years.

That’s why your phone has a brightness slider, or better yet an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness. DE will need something similar.

Joke’s on you - my back hurts all the time!

Can it turn into the face of Nic Cage?

I’m so glad I decided not to play Alien Isolation tonight.
