Excluding some countries, listed as "markets excluding the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK" but possibly Canada, too?
Narrator: It wasn't.
Why is it so ridiculous that the state can provide police where and when they're needed, and it's only when you have a sufficiently robust metropolitan area that can afford their own police force that you then have "local" cops?

Or are we all about locally-sourced, artisanal law enforcement now?

To be fair, it does fit his new brand.

Re:Apple is no longer thinking different on Thursday September 10, 2026 @12:38PM (#49646568)
The iPhone launch was met with a lot of derision and eye-rolling despite that being the result of a half decade "effort to make themselves distinct from the competition".

Those events are rare, the opportunities to really shake things up are fleeting, as everyone is driving forward with relentless, incremental progress that quickly closes up all but the biggest gaps.

What could they possibly do that wouldn't be slammed as derivative?

The irony here that HTTP headers are descended directly from RFC822 email headers.

"Open Web" as in "Free Speech", where it doesn't mean what it's supposed to mean.

NP factorial sounds like NP-ultra-hard.

Re:DOJ will push Google to sell off Chrome on Tuesday November 19, 2024 @12:59PM (#42186345)
Firefox has made a mountain of money off of their tiny market share. Chrome as a company would instantly rake in billions.
Except one thing: Politics.
Ukraine has also been vigilant in making hyper-realistic wooden replicas of various types of equipment, some even including heating elements in them so they look correct on thermal cameras.

If you've seen how glitchy/blurry the drone footage can get with jamming, it'd be easy to be fooled by a decoy.

Lawful evil versus chaotic evil.

You're not buying a standard, you're buying a module with particular packaging and specifications, all of which have a huge impact on production cost.
Ukraine's doing their part to "green" Russia one drone strike at a time.
