They’ve attacked ships from countries that have absolutely nothing to do with that conflict.

What I don’t get is that a dick the size or shape of an eggplant would just not work, for anything.

The video length was pretty limiting, though. Instagram at the time started doing 15 second videos. The six seconds lent itself to goofy comedy and not much more.

It seems like they should have sold it. Or just jammed in a bunch of ads… maybe an option to remove ads with a paid membership. Simply killing it doesn’t make any money other than to avoid losing more, and they’d already invested a fair bit which you can’t recoup by just closing something. Of course, Google does that all the time I guess.

Twitter clearly mishandled it. All they needed to do was give the option to post longer videos. Classic example of a large company buying a small innovative service and destroying it for no reason. I assume they thought it was too similar and in competition with Twit’s existing ability to post videos.

Your belief is that the Houthis are doing this to stop pollution? I thought it was supposed to be on behalf of Palestinians.

There’s an $18 minimum wage in Denver, for instance. Republicans sure as hell didn’t vote for that.

I’d reverse it. “Security researcher who has been thanked by Apple for helping fix bugs in MacOS found to be a serial fraudster”

Absolutely no reason to suggest that Apple “forgave” him, or that it was a mistake. I hate whoever wrote this article.

Well, that was a pretty cluelessly written article. The two things are entirely unrelated. The headline seems to imply that Apple changed its mind about the fraudulent activity and was wrong, but that is not what the details support.

Yep, I can’t speak on the decline of quality because it was a site that was early to dark pattern bullshit. It would show up prominently in Google search and then tease “you have to sign up to read the answers”. Uh, no. Reminds me of expert sexchange or whatever that site was that got smashed by stackoverflow for similar reasons.

I doubt that Bush Sr would be bothered by that as much as I doubt that GWB ever planned more than a barbecue in his entire life.

“Necessary legal permission”?

There were 10 Pizza Puffs in my high school class

I’m sure they have sufficient infrastructure to route elsewhere if Russian servers are inaccessible. I doubt anyway that servers in the rest of the world are typically served from Russia since that would be inefficient.

Yandex has a large office in Amsterdam. Not sure where its all served from but they have offices in 12 countries.

There was this one site in a town I used to live in that was like a serial restaurant graveyard. In 10 years at least 5 different restaurants opened there and closed, usually in 1-2 years. It was a cool building but the reason seemed fairly clear to me: it was downtown, in a city with poor public transportation, off the main strip, and had no parking other than a pay garage 2 1/2 blocks away and around the corner. People tried an Italian restaurant, a sports themed dinner place, fine dining, a Chinese restaurant, another Italian restaurant, and a bar and grill.

Nice! I have a friend with an original Berzerk standup.
‘intruder alert…’

Interesting. I was wondering how it would work at all with such a thin atmosphere. The author could chill out a bit though.

I’m still confused about when there was ever a helicopter vs. just a rover

“or make a bad decision” is hilarious. Like say, insist that the company spend 4 years developing a bizarrely impractical truck that Elton himself said they “dug their own grave” with?

Musk said, adding that he’s “not looking for additional economics; I just want to be an effective steward of powerful technology.”

Oh yes, we all believe this techno Jesus crap at this point. Right.

I was watching a YouTube series recently about situations like this… online games that were pretty decent and still had servers but only 3-4 people a week signed on. Pretty entertaining.

Edit: looks like a few people do this. This is one I was thinking of: https://youtu.be/PGqyvq9l0Mo
