Don't forget that he also didn't found Tesla

The most unbelievable thing about these photos are that trump could kneel like that without shattering

Why does patreon even need to be an app? What value does the app bring that the website can't deliver?

I wonder why the tablet app ecosystem on Android is so poor? Could it be that the Google has spent the best part of the last decade firmly pretending that Android tablets don't exist, and people should just buy a Chromebook? Maybe that might have something to do with it?

Personally, if you can't tell me if you are running Windows or MacOS, I don't really want you downloading my software

Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions

Running web services on a device that hasn't seen a security patch in 3 years seems like a bad idea.

Also, unless you can mount a real hard drive, you are going to very quickly run into I/O bandwidth issues and flash longevity limits

One the one hand, fuck Rudy, hope they find every cent of his and he ends up living out the rest of his days in a dingy, shitty apartment wallowing in his own piss while barely being able to afford food.

On the other hand, if you lent him money it's because you are either an amoral leech, or your expected favours from Trump in return.

Fuck everyone involved in this I guess?

... Wasn't there a story a few months ago about a family that had done exactly that and turns out living in Russia kinda sucks?

In highschool I worked a shitty job at a butchery, and one day the boss decided to "test how smart" I was or something by asking me to get him 1000 wooden skewers out of the box.

Being an attention to detail kind of person, I spent a few minutes counting out 1000 cos I wanted to make sure I gave him exactly what he asked for - wouldn't want a customer to order 1000 and get 995 or something cos I miscounted right?

Apparently not, cos that was the dumb way to do it - boss slapped 10 skewers on the scale then weighed out 100x that and was really proud until I pointed out that the certificate of accuracy only guaranteed the scale to +/- 2 skewers, then apparently I'm a "smart ass". Can't win with some people

• kids don't have a choice, the state has an obligation to protect them from harms even if their parents willfully put them at risk
• Vaccines aren't 100% effective, a certain number of children will catch the disease even if vaccinated
• Vaccines aren't available to everyone
• Greater spread encourages more mutation, leading to more dangerous variants

Sounds familiar right.

Remember all those siblings and extended family members who died of smallpox when you were younger? No? That's because we drove smallpox to the edge of extinction through aggressive vaccination campaigns over decades. We almost managed to do the same with measles until these chucklefucks ruined it for cheap political points, and now 136,000 people died from it last year

Good thing there hasn't been any remotely exploitable security bugs in any of the mail system components in the 6 years since Debian 7 went EoL

I had a client once who used to be obsessed with this. By his logic, if a potential customer visited the website and had a bad experience because the site didn't work properly in their browser, they'd think the company was unprofessional and wouldn't come into the store and we'd lose them as a customer forever. Analytics showed that 99+% of people would visit in one of the big three, and he wouldn't pay for someone to test the site on the less popular browsers, instead he insisted on fingerprinting logic that broke all the time and probably caused more bounces than any possible rendering quirks from niche mobile browsers would have caused

Can't believe noone mentioned Primer

Good that you've put the work in to compile your list, but for anyone new; this is a list of C-tier hosts, and seems to have a pretty strong focus on "privacy" hosts - some of the privacy features can be nice, but it can be a double edged sword. By using a privacy focussed host, you end up co-habitating with other privacy focussed users, which tends to have a higher-than-average concentration of sketchy or outright criminal users. This can have an impact on IP reputation and other operational issues, even if you aren't doing anything sketchy yourself

locked out of that feature

Oh I've met this person. "Can't find the button" = "locked out", "button moved 3mm to the left" = locked out", "I forgot my password " = "locked out", "computer isn't turned on" = "locked out", "I have no internet access because I'm paranoid about 'radiation' and constantly turn my laptop's wifi off" = "locked out"

Is there a charge for "attempted negligent homicide" or something? You did something so catastrophically stupid that was all but guaranteed to kill someone except you got lucky, but you still should end up getting censured so you don't roll the dice on someone's life again

I wonder if this will turn into a new attack vector against companies; talk their LLM chat bots into promising a big discount, take the company to a small claims court to cash out

Look, it's all about authorial intent - if the author had wanted their book to be easy to reference or accessible to people who use screen readers, they would have published a DRM free PDF in the first place. Gotta respect the artist's vision.

The thing about shipping internationally is that you generally need a logistics partner to actually physically move the packages for you, and they also have a legal responsibility to ensure that what they are carrying is legal. I don't know what number of packages you need to have seized by customs before they stop doing business with you, but I'd doubt it's much more than 1.

As a bonus, there are only a handful of logistics companies in NZ that do international outbound, and they are the major domestic delivery companies as well, so if you fuck around enough you could end up finding out that no one will deliver your packages locally either

Nah, Mar-a-lago first

Like you are starting a lawnmower

So awhile ago I worked on a system that moved education records between 2 different systems at a university. It kept choking on one particular record; turns out the date of birth was in 1499, and MSSQL won't store dates from before the start of the Gregorian calendar unless you specifically configure it to do so.

We sent a request through to have the record corrected - clearly someone has just typoed 1949 - and moved on, but maybe.....

Citation needed.

I've seen reports of hospitals delaying non-essential and elective surgeries, but no reports of emergency care being impacted

• There were other officers on the scene
• The other officers had warned the officer who fired to slow down and de-escalate, but they were ignored
• The other officers had non-lethal options, but the officer escalated and fired live rounds in a situation where they couldn't know if they were putting bystanders in danger

Any asshole with a gun can shoot it. If you want courage, you want officers who are professionals, trained to de-escalate, contain and protect, not militant thugs who spray rounds at the spray rounds at the slightest provocation with no regard for bystanders

We live in a society, and all must do our part to enforce the social contract.

It should be legal for anyone to key the shit out of cars that park like this

sigh, people suck.

This is actually something that bugs me about GitHub - I'm a Professional Software Developer, and we use GitHub enterprise internally at work (don't @ me, we don't have the budget to run our own infrastructure, BitBucket is crap and the sales person at GitLab ghosted me on 3 consecutive calls that we set up to discuss our needs). I'm also in charge of a team, and actively encourage the team to contribute to open source - find a bug? Draw up reproduction steps, report it upstream, and Fridays after lunch are dedicated to getting those bugs fixed. One of these days one of my team is going to run across one of these assholes, and I'm going to have a proper HR incident on my hands because that is a hostile work environment. Doesn't matter that it is a member of the public being a dick, I've got an obligation to ensure that my staff have a workplace free of harassment, and I've got absolutely no recourse against this other than to say "cool, we don't contribute to this repo anymore".

As they are more commonly known the FAA, and their enforcement arm - the USAF

Anyone have an actual citation on this particular fact?

Guillotines need gravity to work, which is why the billionaires are so interested in going to space

This is literally how it works in other parts of the world - do you guys just have to trust that your landlord isn't going to decide that they'd rather just keep your money at the end of the lease?

In NZ, the landlord is required to lodge the bond with a government agency, and in cases where there is a dispute a special court will adjudicate and issue binding orders as to how the money is to be divided.

This is where I'd put my Framework laptop

For a start, the planet wouldn't actually collide with the sun on one piece - once the planet crosses the Roche limit it will break apart

Theoretically you can do medium rare chicken sous vide because the temperature is just high enough to kill the pathogen. Practically, why would you - it skeeves people out, and the texture is pretty bad

1.4Pb (~175TB), the quoted number of movies is based on a 14GB movie which is very small (most BluRay disks hold somewhere between 25 and 50GB) and no discussion about write speed, so basically this is cool research that someone has done and is no closer to a commercial product that any of the dozens of other articles that have come out on this topic in the last 15 years

If a project is hosted on sourceforge then its a pretty good sign that the developer hasn't progressed their craft since about 2005, which is a pretty big red flag for anything

The thing is, none of that is even slightly true; even if the chatbot were it's own legal entity, it would still be an employee and air Canada are liable for bad advice given by their representatives
