My ebike. I have a 14 mile commute each way. With my ebike I can bike to work door-to-door, every day. Would not be possible without my ebike. I get a lot of hate and cries of cheater on the trail but it is worth it not to have to drive to work.
A better question IMHO is who do you think should have a monopoly on the use of force.
We need comprehensive privacy legislation with teeth.
I am reading a non-fiction book about salt. The title of the book is Salt and the author is Mark Kurlansky. I know that sounds super-boring but Kurlansky is really good at deep research and creating narrative from historical events. Higly recommend his books if you are into non-fiction.
“Krita is a professional FREE and open source painting program. It is made by artists that want to see affordable art tools for everyone.”
Misleading headline.
This was 3 out of hundreds of thousands of runs. And mainly due to misconfigurations not aggressive use of zero days.
While it is possible to characterize this as a marketing stunt, it is equally possible to characterize this as transparency.
It is an interesting story but do we really need the sensationalism?
Probably the Alchemist by Paul Coelho at 160 pages or Seagull by Anton Chekhov at 60 pages.
Witch-hunting is a historical example of mass behavior potentially fueled by moral panic. The current trend towards banning phone use in schools is another.
My daughter sent me a TikTok about the government using counterintelligence techniques against left wing groups. I sent her the wikipedia page on Cointellpro with the comment “Sadly this is not new”
The Department of Homeland Security was just a combination of existing federal bureaus into one entity. What you have to remember and what is noted in the 9-11 report and everyone should read the 9-11 report is that we had evidence of the attacks prior to them occurring, but the problem was inter-agency rivalries prevented the information getting to some central location where you can connect the dots.
Now it’s not to say that there wasn’t a lot of knee jerk authoritarian reaction to the attacks in the form of the patriot act, warrantless surveillance, legalized torture, and extraordinary rendition. Combining federal agencies into the department of homeland security by comparison seemed pretty mild at the time.
So you friend zoned the soft flexible one and gave it up for the rigid texture with the larger tip?
A tale as old as time…
“Doom is one of the most widely Ported video games…”
Is there another video game that has been ported more?
Breakout is a techno-thriller grounded in real science. Enjoyed this one.
Two things:
Good luck. Have fun.
I feel like we all know this. This CGP Grey video is 9 years old.
It makes sense things would burn faster due to the higher ratio of surface area to overall volume. Since volume increases with the 3rd power and surface area with the 2nd power little logs have proportionally more surface area.
I wonder if you could make a tiny candle?
In 1997 everyone knew we were in a bubble. Alan Greenspan the Fed Chair publicly called it “Irrational Exuberance. ” If you got out of the market then you missed a market doubling and left significant upside on the table. It was insanity and everyone new it, much like today. There was a trend of people quitting their jibs to become full time day traders. Its easy to make money in an up market.
In the dot com collapse the effects were mostly felt in the tech sector. While the stock market slumped there was not a wave of banks failing. There were a lot of layoffs in the tech sector and IT jobs were hard to come by.
I worry about this.
A lot.
“…and we will make more”
Kind of misleading without the rest of the quote. Basically saying no more AI layoffs for now.
This is not a change of course, its a pause in the carnage.
“On Friday, Judge Pamela Harris, writing for a unanimous three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, sided with Whateley and the A.C.L.U., ruling vanity plates are private speech subject to First Amendment protections.
But that is only the first step. Even private speech is sometimes subject to government regulation.
The appeals court returned the case to Judge Moon to consider whether Virginia’s cancellation of Whateley’s plate can survive First Amendment scrutiny, which often turns on whether the challenged policy discriminates based on the speaker’s viewpoint.
Virginia, for its part, announced on Wednesday night that it would seek Supreme Court review.
“The commonwealth has a responsibility to ensure that state-issued license plates are not profane and do not promote dangerous hate speech or incite harm,” said RaeAnn Pickett, a spokeswoman for Jay Jones, the state’s attorney general.”
