Because they get paid to endorse it.

It's got poor visibility but so does every other truck/suv being sold in America.

Maybe, but the cyber truck has especially bad rear visibility. Worse.than any of its competitors

but it's still longer than the average person would realistically drive in a day.

I must be a special, fantasy person that does road trips with 700mi or longer drives

Not to mention it's 3000 kilos. They really need to start adding vehicle weight limits to licenses. The US license test is a joke in most states, and then people are allowed to drive 3 metric ton vehicles from a 10 minute drive.

The point is that they can show anybody interested the original with the signature from the camera.

The problem is that you can likely attack the camera's security chip to sign any photo, as internally the photo would come from the cmos without any signing and the camera would sign it before writing it to storage.

The cartoon shows the US aligning with Panama separatist factions to break from Colombia so that they can permit the construction of the channel.

Panama was a separate colony from Colombia, but they joined when becoming independent.

The V3 version of ublock should really use a different name to make it clear it doesn't have the same capabilities as in V2/Firefox. Maybe something like UBlock use-firefox-instead.

If you go that detailed, then the jvm is JIT compiler, not an interpreter, so Java code still mostly runs natively on the processor. Java is quite fast achieving pretty close performance to C++, the only noticeable problems are on desktop because of the slow jvm startup and slow GUI libraries compared to native ones.

NFTs or blockchains are not needed for this. You could just implement selling or transfers in the content platform.

I do think using contacts for escrow and having the sale being independent from the vendor are cool features, bit not at all essential ones.

I don't necessary know about the intelligence part, I've seen plenty of braindead political cartoons

Most carriers support it. When they don't, the protocol can use a bridge. Google hosts a bridge. I guess you could also use the bridge if the carrier is trying to charge for it.

Are reading what you write? It's linux so it isn't?

I don't think it's necessarily a good move but you're wrong hon several places, like:

they are BOUND BY THE GPL to freely share and distribute that code.

No they aren't. The GPL doesn't mention anything about price, and they're only forced to share source code with the people they distribute software to.

They got it for free, they have to pass it on for free

They have paid for plenty of oss code

So, safari in ipadOS (that's the only place I use safari) works the same way, and it's as annoying as it sounds.

Original grep was pretty much a wrapper around sed (or actually maybe ed, I don't remember). That's why it's called g/re/p, which is the sed command to do the same thing.

I don't understand this comment. Are you saying it's only fine to dodge the draft when rock people do it?

Firefox did it like 10 years ago. I think it's still going around under a different name in very low tier smart phones.

Is poisoning fish part of the fishing experience?

Just because he compared it to a suburban doesn't mean that the Mitsubishi mirage and used Corollas aren't a thing.

And sure the Chevy Bolt is 26k, but that's still 5k more expensive than a new Corolla and has like half the range, and you can fuel the Corolla way faster.

HTML is not even a tree (XHTML is. XML is a type 2 grammar). SGML languages like HTML are more similar to Tree-adjoining grammars.

For example <b>This<i>is perfectly</i></b><i>valid</i> html.

Removing the console limitation, I'd go for Half-life on a Nvidia TNT 2 and CRT monitor.

Now, if it has to be console, then Persona 3 FES on the ps2.

until June 24 also the adblocker devs have updated their products for sure.

If you understood the differences between manifest v2 and v3 you'd understand that it's pretty much impossible to make an ad blocker with the same effectiveness in V3 as in V2.

So they will exist, just be worse.

Yeah, it's been a while so it's time to drop it. I don't think you can even buy a new ps4 at a major retailer anymore even.

The US customary units are officially defined on top of metric, and 1 fl oz is 29.5735295625 mL, but an oz is 28.349523125 g. I imagine this decision was just to fuck with people (since 1ml of water weighs 1g at sea level, at 4°)

No soy mexicano, pero hablando en español, si (en los mismos contextos que un francés diría que es europeo, por ejemplo). América es el nombre tradicional del Continente completo.

The oldest active torrent I know of is the fanimatrix. I'm still seeding it just in case.

I don't know if it's that cut and dry. If you study a Operative Systems class or buy a book about them, it'll exclusively deal with the kernel.

I think some distros disable using RSA by default. Might need to use it explicitly.

So looking at it it has no resemblance to python syntax, but it does use typical python library semantics.

Wtf is an ounce? Scientist

Huh? That article backs me up?

Most English-speaking countries recognize seven regions as continents.

Different variations with fewer continents merge some of these regions

The six-continent combined-America model is taught in Greece and many Romance-speaking countries—including Latin America.

Find me where it says you can't charge or that you have to distribute source code to anyone

It’s not about the App Store, it’s mostly about the 30% commission both companies take on app sales [in the app store] AND in app purchases [through the app store].

How is it not about the app store?

I didn't do it so take it with a grain of salt but people were saying they saw improvement in loading when changing the used agent to chrome.

I actually don't know how many programs do this, but several check that file permissions are correct or refuse to work. Sudo and ash are 2 of them. I could see /etc/shadow being readable and writable by everyone being a problem too, but I don't know.

It's because that's not a common definition and it's not even a good one. No normal person would call cloning stealing. Also, this completely misses lending, gifting, downloading a webpage or even renting. All of those would be stealing under this definition.

True, but that's more about the relationship between Google and phone manufacturers and and carriers. As far as a party like Epic is concerned, it shouldn't have any relation. As far as epic goes, they're only affected by the opt in process to install apks, and apps not being allowed to install apps (which I hope has a way more complicated opt in process if it's allowed or malware will be rampant among casual users)

If it's a verb it should be a button, not a toggle

Yeah, they're mostly bits of hardware that turn ttl/serial into a USB device. Then you can use minicom or dterm to connect to the host. Mostly used for embedded development, but also useful for debugging servers that are not connecting to the network without having to lug a keyboard and screen.

After they're connected, if they speak vt110, your terminal emulator can display everything properly

In southern European tradition (which ends up in Latin America), those are not continents but regions. America is the Continent.

You mean all that metadata? As far as we know, all messages are e2e encrypted and no one has proven it otherwise.

Not really, they've always been big on being incompatible for the sake of locking in people: adb, FireWire, iPod requiring iTunes, etc.
