This is a big fine against a modern VOIP SaaS: https://telnyx.com/

It's frustrating that the triggering event was spam calls to FCC staff members and their family. If only spam calls to us plebs could trigger such fines.

Yeah, this wooden satellite news is a big day for fans of that unmade concept -- there are dozens of us!

Maybe a dumb question, but I wonder if this was a software attack or IL was able to modify the physical pagers that are issued during Hezbollah onboarding. If this was a pure software attack, are only pagers susceptible? Or are we unknowingly carrying around bombs in our pocket, waiting for the counterattack?

What you're describing in 2) sounds a lot like paper terrorism[0]

"OMG, they are still working on drupal 7?" was my thought before I realized this was from 2007

Genuinely curious; could you be more specific in what you're looking for in an international observer? There is UNRWA, which has been there for a long time. Not sure how effective they've been in reducing civilian casualties. There is also the UNDOF in the Golan Heights.

Now kids these days are first exposed to M.U.L.E. through the game Deeprock Galactic

Heated streets?

Applying occam's razor here, I wonder if this was caused by a corrupt Google employee taking a bribe from the TV station in Uzbekistan?

Social network content moderators have been known to take bribes[0][1]. The fact that there was a manual DMCA review involved makes this more sus

What if those dams contributed to the drought?

Love it, and love college radio!

Could you add KAOS?

I did not know that XFCE supported this level of customization. Where can I find other XFCE skinpacks?

This is awesome and something I definitely would use for my docker and node based lambdas. Looking forward to this project adding more labmda backends!

You fool! I'm moved to Cola from Seattle three years ago and absolutely love it. I see more and more people moving to South Carolina every day. We need to shut the door behind us before too many people come here!

In Seattle there was an attitude called K.B.O. which stands for Keep the Bastards Out. It mostly means when talking to outsiders, you should complain about the rain so they don't get any ideas about moving there.

We need to develop a KBO for the Carolinas. Greenville has an absolutely disgusting downtown, with an ugly gross river going through it and a rickety pedestrian bridge that is bound to kill someone. The tech industry is absolutely drying up and I'm getting ready to become a hog farmer.

I am not OP (they seem to have been downvoted to oblivion) but a fascinating book I read recently on this topic was "The Invention of the White Race" by Theodore W. Allen.

The book traces the historical development of the concept of whiteness from early Britain, where the Irish were considered non-white as a means to "other" and impoverish them, to pre-revolution Haiti, where people of mixed race could attain certificates of Whiteness that would grant them the same rights and privileges as non-mixed French people.

Those are just two of the anecdotes I remember from the book. It's really worth a read if you're into the whole "race as a social construct" thing, since it digs into the mechanics of how that social construct was created.

This is a big reason I got into Lego Serious Play

I don't think the Dead Sea is really dead.

"Biologists have known since the 1930s the lake is "not dead yet". Instead, it's full of microbes that get along quite happily in the salty soup, for it keeps out competitors that would take over in a more hospital aqueous environment. In general, the water contains 1,000 to 10,000 archaea* per ml, a much lower concentration of life than in seawater, but quite respectable, all in all, for a place where one molecule in three is not water. Occasionally, when conditions are right, the sea blooms red with life. This happened in 1980 and 1992."

Frustrating that the US extradition case gets a legal boost while the UK courts ignore the evidence that the US indictment of Assange is based on lies https://stundin.is/grein/13627/

Honestly this seems like an efficient use of waste-heat generated by the computer -- use it to keep you meal warm!

Maybe in the future recipes will come with cryptographic hashes you need to crack in order to warm your processors to the appropriate level and length for cooking

It's not pathetic -- do you look at someone in a wheelchair and think how pathetic they are?

It's not pathetic -- it's just some fucking bullshit that happens. We need to cut through all the bullshit and love ourselves. :)

What if the stress level affects the dopamine level and that affects the stutter?

I have a stutter too and this was a very interesting article to add to my "head-canon" on why people stutter. My stutter is also affected by moods. Maybe we're living -- or rather, speaking -- on the edge of the brain-body connection.

Definitely appreciated the tips at the bottom of the article. Did you use anything like Storybook to share the component library?

Maybe she was following CDC guidelines and staying home?

I wonder if COBOL would be a good choice for him to learn. Not the most in-demand, but probably not going away in 11.5 years

Edit: Another idea -- good excel and data science and visualization skills probably won't be going away too and may be more accessible if he doesn't have access to a command line

I know, right? I just may not be seeing the black movies because I'm a white customer.

It seems interesting that with all its investment in original content, Netflix would rather re-skin "white" movies than invest in "black" movies.

I wonder if this is a sign of institutional racism at work and lack of diversity.

Use "PST" and "PDT" for Philippine time.

What about us in Pacific daylight time? Now our timezone acronym is ambiguous.

I think you're burned out and the personal stuff in your life is taking more of a toll than you think. I think you need to take some time off work, i.e. "mental health/self-care" days. Take at least one day off to just do nothing and chill out. You can use the other days to take care of your personal stuff. Take as much time as you need.

Also, if you're gonna quit your job, this is probably one of the safest times to do it.
