Re:Discord ends deal talks with Microsoft on Tuesday April 20, 2021 @09:58PM (#26884550)
I know it's been a few hours, but if you see this, look at the Discord PTB and Canary builds. I run all three (std) so I can keep a number of prime channels open. Hope that helps.
If it is true it would buy ad servers greater obfuscation since blockers were relying on CNAME metadata to differentiate between safe and unsafe targets. If more reverse lookup and secondary metadata and vhost dereferencing is required it will complicate performant ad stripping at a minimum.

I would recommend reading Noumenon by Marina J. Lostetter if you'd like to scratch that theoretical itch playing out one specific way.
>When you opt out of facial recognition on Facebook, the company will delete your template, meaning it will have no original reference point for your face and therefore cannot find your face at all.

The details are pretty sparse. It would be nice if they clarified how they manage black-listing your template ID somewhere but still disconnect it from your profile. If you opt-ed back in at some point, they need to know to remove you from that black-list, which might imply there's still some sort of connection from your profile to a template ID or maybe the generic template still exists but they're disallowed to associate it to a profile and it's in some shadow table?

Only if your looking for a USB-C to USB-A hub. There is a surprising lack of good USB-C multi-port hubs, let alone any that support USB PD on anything but the upstream port. You're just now starting to see any that even have generic pass-through of PD.
I think the title needs to be fixed, it's a tad sensationalist. The Google Groups message is just "Container Linux project update" and is dated May 18th. Since then, there has been more clarification [0], [1], [2], that really calls out a rationalization of the RH roadmap and where CoreOS fits. It might be fair to say that RH doesnt plan to support "CoreOS Container Linux" in exactly the fashion prior to acquisition, but it would be disingenuous to imply it is being wholly discontinued.

Re:Was Cleopatra Beautiful? (1997) on Monday May 21, 2018 @01:55PM (#17120279)
I really meant if the OP had listened to the Podcast and sought out more information.

Additionally, the article can't completely be from 1997, as it references 2010 and 2013 sources.

This was a recent topic [0] on the "Our Fake History" podcast [1] too. Worth a listen if you're looking for something new.

Wonder if that inspired the OP?

FWIW, I love my BottlePro2 [0] for my Nalgene's, I have a few of them and they fit into my glove box when I need to pull them out.

At least it wasn't due to a Expired SAML Certificate?
