Hi there!

  • Judging just from the image and title, I'm guessing they're demonstrating this as evidence that there's insider trading going on, as just prior to the US President making a huge announcement that rocked the economy, a sudden unusual spike in activity was recorded.

    This does not seem likely to be unrelated, given what this graph shows as normal activity.

    The author suggests humourously that this is evidence of precognition - of being able to predict future events using magic.

  • What I hate most about the Independent these days is that they're a UK news agency for UK news reporting, but seem to want to heavily report on local USA news now.

    Not just big international news worthy stuff, but lots of small local area USA news.

    I'll see some headline that sounds serious, only to open it and find it's not referring to events in the UK at all, but in the USA, which is entirely irrelevant to me.

    Not sure why they pivoted to being a US news company, but I'm sick of it, so they're on my blacklist now.

  • I like this _

  • Hey now, they care so much about protecting children that they'll cover them in body armour and send them in big groups to far away lands (to keep them safe from domestic terrorism ofc)!

  • I got my extra RAM on a floppy! SoftRAM95 baby 😎

  • Finally, the one thing missing from our modern day sci-fi Star Trek future was a Self Destruct built in to all our vehicles!

  • If it has a MicroSD slot, 3.5mm jack, a removable battery and costs no more than £300, I'm interested! <3

    I'd rather it were made in Europe too, but I understand we can't have everything, supply chains being what they are.

    P.S Bonus points if it has an IR blaster, I use the one on my current phone quite a lot, surprisingly enough!

  • Gambling. Call it gambling.

    Trying to whitewash it as "Prediction Markets" so it doesn't sound scummy, addictive, damaging and horrible is really annoying.

    There is a market for predicting outcomes of things and waging money against those predictions, yes. We call it Gambling.

  • Motorola has been kinda crap for years now, not supporting their android phones with updates, etc.

    Hopefully this is a new leaf for them.

    Isn't Lenovo that dodgy company that did the China stuff though? Hopefully they've been bought by someone else since then.

  • Is anybody acting like this is new? Shops relabel stuff with price changes regularly, this just makes it quicker and easier - staff don't have to run around for a hour with a price gun and a bunch of shelf labels any more.

    Improving how we display prices isn't the issue, that's a good move, it's how prices are decided that are the problem.

  • Every penny given to a US company is bankrolling their government through taxes, and thus funding authoritarianism.

    OpenAI has direct government contracts sure, but yeah.

    I agree it sucks.

  • And yet, surprisingly, I can often get a gif down to a smaller file size and better image quality than a webp file.

    Still, there's hope for it yet if it improves!

  • Ur such a dhork <3

  • Haha, fuckin hilarious. I'm gonna proclaim February 6th as Margaret Thatcher Day too.

    That'll give us a year to really prepare for next year's Margaret Thatcher Day.

    What should be some of the hall marks of Margaret Thatcher Day? What should go on the bunting and balloons? What sort of foods should we encourage people to make for the street parties?
