How about putting some cash bounty flags out there in dedicated mock systems.. and maybe allow the public to attempt cyber breaches with the same impunity that anonymous perpetrators enjoy.

I’m sure there’s some value in that.

They changed terms against their captive users and forced policy changes to end open publishing and firehose APIs—which the organization had once championed and enshrined.

This really sounds like VeriSign has no business owning .name … best possible outcome would be transferring it to somebody who will retain the originally intended services.
Not only is everything subject to manipulation, but it’s incentivized—with a new opportunity to capitalize on the unwitting.

Why can’t I filter by $/TB??

I want to see the table sorted by lowest cost first, but with a $/TB filtered to be in the top 5% (or under some max value).

Interesting that he would consider software a new life form. I think our organizations are really the higher life form above Apex humans.

When we have computer systems acting as corporation owners, and we begin to thrive in working for those corporations… That’s really going to change the picture.

I think it’s newsworthy as related to managed web publishing/speech and the governance of online information. Did any Wikipedia articles cite this page? Do those need revision now??
This is a big win for China. Standards of Justice have moved tremendously in open seas.

Whether drugs or information, you don’t want to be on the wrong side of this!

With RO, could* focus on kitchen and bathroom sinks; amortized cost should be $5-10 per-month per-sink.

Toilet, shower, and laundry could all be low-risk with unfiltered service tap water.

Seems like continuous edge testing would be a critical first step.

End users seeing water content in real time would absolutely motivate fixes.

Via ChatGPT, some groups of Chicago children are average 6-8 µg/dL blood lead levels, guaranteeing they’ll face challenges related cognitive disability. 100+ years of this—and all they need is good water filters.

This should be a class action to get fixed. No way the government can fix this alone in a reasonable time frame without focusing on end-users first.

I’m confused.. effective ad blocking is now “piracy?”

I thought TiVo settled that argument long ago.

Edit; maybe not TiVo leading the disruption here: https://modern-counsel.com/2016/tivo/

I’d wish custom development could be minimized and everyone instead assembled next generation systems using the best open, standardized, and reusable parts.. which then could be sourced or salvaged on almost any continent. Just a wish.
So.. criminal racketeering?

Tailscale may be unique as a network appliance that users like to run on a lot of different equipment.

Used GPT-3.5 to summarize these and tried to edit the response for brevity. Pardon any hallucinations here. Looks like it's mostly just different OSs all running their own software publishing/distribution portals. Lot of NIH maybe.

You're right on the isolate.. Just found this video showing how they're separating the starch and fiber from pea protein.

Pardon, but where's the ultra processing? Isn't pea protein just dried peas in a blender?

I figured ultra processed was reserved for things like ascorbic acid, pectin, and xanthan gum.

They didn't make that up.. the satellites are literally no closer then 118ms (one-way). If you and the source/destination are directly under the satellite you may be able to get a packet + response in 480ms under most-ideal conditions. (that is four legs of transit between ground & space)

Elevation of orbit is 35,768,000 meters [1], and light moves at ~300,000,000 meters per second.

Can Chrome OS get some of this criticism too??

Trying to setup one of those without a Google account taking 'ownership' of the machine first... isn't possible.

If you have suppliers or vendors, you can request credit lines from them. Business credit cards are an option too, or you can apply your own captial.

Commercial lending typically factors in the current business revenues (or receivables). You should have a few lenders able to offer the business a line of credit, capped at about 100-200% of your average monthly deposits.

You could demonstrate that for an underwriter by providing either your most recent three months bank statements or a tax return. Personal credit of the owners will be reviewed, unless the business has comparable borrowing history.

That 1-10 seems impossible to gauge correctly without just basing it on the profiles of a video's previous viewers.

And the crux seems to be that YouTube has a single primary interest in generating suggestions: to offer the viewer a video that they probably want to see next. Netflix recs are no different.

So, the impolite or gruesome content becomes clickbait for an ad revenue machine.
