I feel like I've seen this comment before...

best thing to do is segregate and control damage

I first encountered that concept with a client that put every webapp in it's own virtual server and expected the vm to get compromised at some point. Seemed like a very sensible idea 15 years ago.

And uses SOAP for identity and authorization.

The Apple ][ basic interpreter placed its "get next token" routine down in the first 255 bytes of the computer's memory. Being there allowed for the machine instructions to be fetched twice as fast as "high memory". And "get next token" is definitely a good guess for hotpath.

The economy is so bad even the Director of the FBI has a side gig.

Now do ASPX? Pleeeeeeaaasse?

I've learned to accept getting a bit of raw cold egg white on my fingers.

John Oliver did an eye opening bit on homeschooling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzsZP9o7SlI&pp=ygUVam9uIG9sa...

The lack of regulation is concerning. What's truly disturbing is how easily it is for children to fall through the cracks when there are no teachers to report possible abuse. Frightening.

If I recall correctly the read/write head of a floppy drive rested directly on the media. This meant the disks wore out faster the more you used them.

Can you plug in a gogoro to a regular wall socket? Better a slow charge than to be stuck.

Nobody can build something with squirrel levels of manipulation and agility, even in simulation.

While not squirrel level, this impressed the heck out of me: https://ashish-kmr.github.io/rma-legged-robots/

Maybe it's a quantum observer effect and the galaxies only exist because there's an observer. Dark matter/energy is need to make things balance only because we haven't been looking in all the right places.

The universe would be an odd old place if that was true.

Why can't the US government mandate hospitals need to purchase a percentage of their supplies from US manufacturers in order to receive medicaid/Medicare.

Trade agreements most likely.

I would not be surprised if that sort of preferential treatment would count as a subsidy and be actionable under NAFTA (whatever it's called now).

12 matches, 10 seconds per shape.

As a Torontonian... the Sun isn't much of a paper. Good for sports and fish wrap. Breathless crime reporting too. City politics. That's about it.

Arguably the more important outcome than monetary damages

Every single consumer that bought a product from one of these third party sellers, or a matching product from Amazon, has been cheated out of several dollars. For each product, for each sale... that adds up to way more than $2.5 million.

And the funny part is that a few database queries could likely surface exactly who has been harmed, how many times, and a gross sale amount affected.

Easy proof for a class action?

Hmm... maybe the magic in magic quadrants is in how they attract the sorts of people that will act on the information conveyed by the grid. Way better than an Ouija board for IT recommendations. Ouija is very hit and miss, really depends on what spirit you get connected with. Magic quadrants just work.

I would think basic income would only cover the basic necessities, plus some extra. Not enough for one person to live without a roomate, or have the latest and greatest technology.

So... to pay for a private apartment maybe that crap retail job would be ok.

AMD supports ECC on their consumer chips

And now the next desktop consumer upgrade I purchase will be AMD and will have ECC (well... unless it's way more expensive).

Shhhhhh! You'll disturb the market!

YYMMDD + 4 digits of versions. At a glance, even a bit more than a glance, that seems fine for a long. And if 2020 worked and 2021 worked... why would 2022 break?

Lol.

I'd bet the conversation about this way back when it was being decided was "will 3 digits for daily version/build be enough" and the answer "go with 4, better safe than sorry".

Disney will be suing. I'm sure they already have worked out an overall litigation strategy.

But... with 2 years left there's plenty of time for legislation to be updated.

Sounds like a plan... until you realize why your label printer keeps restarting.

With a bit of string you'd have a game.

Doesn't really account for the varying sizes of holes.

Gemprint... the OG NFT.

And the cause

If you shine a laser into diamond centered and perpendicular to the table face, the beam will be split and returned out of the table to show a pattern of dots (some bright, some dim). The pattern is unique to each diamond.

Gemprint.com uses this to fingerprint diamonds. You can see some images of "gemprints" here: https://www.gemprint.com/light-performance.html

Polaroids (self developing color pictures) are a good example of everyday magic. Sure it's chemistry and not magic, but how sure are you?

If magic was real, wouldn't those who knew how to use it figure out how to profit off it on a wide scale? Flying carpets? Too much time investment for too few trips. Aluminum "wings" that fooled even Bernoulli... no there's a business that continues to make billions. DNA testing? Don't get me started about prepackaged identity spells.

A modern beer bottle looks paper thin compared to one a century old.

I wonder if that is due to how much smoother transportation is now.

I wish there was a higher contrast ratio between text and the tan background.
