What was the original use of the ‘☠️’ emoji?

Jump

  • The skull and crossbones has pirate connotations. Or just for danger/death.

    It was added to Unicode in 1993 so it's an original emoji.

    • French Navy Escorts CMA CGM Container Ships Through Red Sea While US Ships Remain Stranded

    Jump

  • It makes sense for navies here to favour their own ships and those contributing to the coalition over third parties. A lot of companies list their ships with cheap countries (little to no navy) and/or ones with cheap labour laws, but then expect to be helped by bigger navies.

    Not quite sure why there are problems with US ships specifically, are there just a lot more US listed ships there? Don't they have an entire strike group there?

    • Intel's comeback appears on track — CEO Gelsinger says 18A process node performance is 'a little bit ahead' of TSMC's N2, but Intel's process arrives a year earlier than TSMC's

  • Their problem has always been with yield not the node size right? They could make the smaller nodes, just not cost effectively?

    • Don't worry, we only lost the dangerous parts... not something personal like your dob

    Jump

  • Your title implies they lost all the bad stuff though

  • Isn't it saying that they didn't have those bits so couldn't loose them?

    It would have been more useful (but look worse for them!) If they just listed what was lost....

    • Insomniac Games Reportedly Made Only $567 on Sunset Overdrive

  • I assume the salaries are included in the break even?

    • Researcher has developed, at a cost of less than one dollar, a wireless light switch that runs without batteries, can be installed anywhere on a wall and could reduce the cost of wiring a house by ...

    Jump

  • I imagine replacing the battery in your light switch in the dark (because you can't turn the lights on) is probably rather annoying. This sounds like a cool idea.

    • Cities Skylines 2 CEO apologizes after comments about gameplay

    Jump

  • That's a bit of a no-story? Doesn't even give examples on what people's problems with the simulation are?

    • IBM releases first-ever 1,000-qubit quantum chip

    Jump

  • But you have control of the network with a majority of mining right? So it's very possible that one or more organisations could control it for long enough that it's not trusted?

    And how does proof of stake work cryptography?

    • Not mocking cobol devs but yall are severely underpaid for keeping fintech alive

    Jump

  • The historic high salary for COBOL Devs etc is also partially due to them mostly being old and extremely experienced senior devs

    Their release notes are on GitHub, but I can't find (on mobile ATM) the plans for the future.

  • Lemmy removed it (or have announced they are going to?) from the API, which is why voyager switched.

    Jump

  • It sounds like this is being used for day/night storage here as opposed to spot demand, so it may be using more of the charge range.

    I wonder if these batteries have reduced peak power output, can they fulfil the kind of balancing that you are suggesting? I guess if they had enough it would be fine.
