I vividly remember spending twenty minutes downloading a single song over my 56k modem 🥲

He made an appearance at Easter mass yesterday.

The domestication of wolves happened between 15000 and 40000 years ago. That mug is “only” 2400 years old.

TBF the AI features in Arc are actually pretty good! Just quality of life-stuff like renaming downloads and getting summary previews when hovering search results. I have a suspicion they’ll push it farther with Dia, though…

Can these guys please just start their own political party and maybe start dragging the US out of the two party hellhole while saving it from acute fascism?

This makes me want to watch No Country for Old Men again

This is prime Ig Nobel material right here!

I don't disagree with your point about ergonomics, but I just wanted to point out that feet can have pretty different shapes. My feet look very different than yours, with the three first toes nearly the same length. I'd probably be miserable in the shoes in your picture.

Aww man, Red Faction was an awesome game! Didn’t the rail gun also have an infrared scope that could see through walls?

I don’t think this will happen: Their department of defense has adopted Signal for internal communication, and there is no way in hell they would want a backdoor built in. In fact, the article says they have already opposed the suggestion.

Speaking of which, here is a helpful manual.

Example code == documentation

My favorite strategy in this manual is taking a middle management position and making sure everyone is working as inefficiently as possible. Probably also among the ones most relevant to the current situation!

Those are strawberries, just saying

Get out of here with those propaganda techniques, please

For a smaller amount this would be a much more important question. However, 550 million dollars is such a large amount that the gain in utility up to 2 billion is questionable. You could buy a private jet and still have half a billion to invest. That half a billion nets you 25 million a year (with 5 % interest/roi) without ever shrinking.

The lump sum will grow to be worth more than the annuity over the same period if properly invested

Well, I’m sure the exposure from going to the shooting range is a lot smaller than this, but lead poisoning from leaded gasoline apparently had a measurable impact on IQ levels.

I 100 percent agree that the big problem of the educational system, though! It is also interesting how self-fulfilling the adversity to government has been: it has made it so easy for men with bad intentions to tear down an at least functional democracy by promising to “fix” it.

TBF, this is just what happens in any organization when you let HR buy software.

Even if this were the case (it is not in any real sense, see your other replies), the fact that it is done by a for profit entity that will lose money by approving a claim all but ensures the process will not be neutral or correct.
