  • Two companies that are desperate for disruption. It's like one drowning person swimming over to another drowning person to rescue.

  • Craigslist, or Facebook marketplace?

  • A default judgement just gives Spotify some leverage to try to collect money, property, and get injunctions. But as we know from the pirate bay cases, that's a losing whack-a-mole battle long term.

    But it does make life a bit harder for Anna's archive unless they show up to fight back, which they probably won't.

  • ICE engines use a bunch of physical space for accessory components related to the engine. Li-ion powered e-cars reclaimed a ton of that space (i.e. Tesla has a frunk)

    Perhaps next using a bit more space for a less dense sodium battery in exchange for a vehicle that is 0% explodable is a worthy trade (if claims are true).

  • Isn't like 50% of the internet broken for you if you're only running IPv6? It seems like so many websites , especially small ones, still aren't setting up v6 addresses

  • I prompt injected my CONTRIBUTING.md – 50% of PRs are bots

  • Not all bad. Git is an incredible system for collaboration and humans have been honing it to improve quality and share work across teams for decades now.

    Allowing bots to play a carefully defined role is probably going to end up being a net improvement but there are still kinks.

    Masquerading as a human needs to be fixed though - I can see why it's happening and that's one of the first problems to solve.

  • When I entered the workforce in the late '90s, people were still saying this about putting PCs on every employee's desk. This was at a really profitable company. The argument was they already had telephones, pen and paper. If someone needed to write something down, they had secretaries for that who had typewriters. They had dictating machines. And Xerox machines.

    And the truth was, most of the higher level employees were surely still more profitable on the phone with a client than they were sitting there pecking away at a keyboard.

    Then, just a handful of years later, not only would the company have been toast had it not pushed ahead, but was also deploying BlackBerry devices with email, deploying laptops with remote access capabilities to most staff, and handheld PDAs (Palm pilots) to many others.

    Looking at the history of all of this, sometimes we don't know what exactly will happen with newish tech, or exactly how it will be used. But it's true that the companies that don't keep up often fall hopelessly behind.

  • The psychology of this case, and other cases like it, is really baffling. The article didn't go into much detail except mentioning the prior attempt, the millions of dollars of life insurance, and her cover story about him being addicted to opioids.

    When investigators found those details the picture must have became clear.

    What causes one person in a long-term relationship to off the other one? Why not just, you know, do what everyone else does and divorce? I'm sure being a divorcee sucks but it can't be as bad as a convicted aggravated murderer who will live life behind bars

  • I thought filing egregiously inaccurate documents with the court was risking contempt of court (in the best of cases).

    Ignoring the court itself, I'd think for a prosecutor or cop this would lead to pretty bad performance reviews.

    But if the system has no standards...

  • I don't automatically have a negative opinion about this, I would need more information before that. Did the terms of service allow for this?

    It's a fascinating case study on crowdsourcing data that is useful to this navigation technology, and reminds me of the first captchas that helped train OCR engines.

  • You're right. I got in the habit of doing that because I'm endlessly tweaking my .env files and I don't think those reload unless you shut down first

  • Yeah the 5 months thing... That's the difference between having a $400/hour lawyer and no lawyer. The first guy could get you out by 6:00 p.m. on bail. If you have no lawyer, your appointment to be assigned lawyer is scheduled for next month.

  • Never run:

     
        
    docker compose pull
    docker compose down
    docker compose up -d
     
      

    Right before the end of your day. Ask me how I know 😂

  • Damn I better check my contracts and see if they have any war or terrorism clauses 😅

  • Math checks out. I'll let you know when it's done

  • Internet subscription canceled! See you on the other side brother

  • Been with mullvad for a very long time but this scares the crap out of me and I might have to bail soon.

  • Didn't think about the possibility of a kinetic energy unit, thanks for the insight

  • The wind at 32,000 ft is 200 times stronger than the wind at the surface?

    Ummm... 10 knots * 200 = 2000 knots. I don't think so lol.

    A lot of strange numbers in this article that bring its accuracy into question.

    No mention of the weight of a 1 and 1/2 km wire that is also suitable to anchor this thing in place. Or are they going to float batteries and bring them down to discharge?
