This is basically what they did in feudal Japan.
Like, a potential rival that lives near your capital, is given the opportunity to pay for the development of a massive wall to protect it, along with bragging rights that they’re powerful enough to help the city, and that they have close ties with leadership as an ally
This drains them of capital they could use to raise an army, and also installs a big fortification that makes it harder to attack.
Generally, they know you’re using a VPN because of where your traffic is coming from.
They probably block Digital Ocean’s IP pool as a whole as it’s often a hub for cybercrime and it would only affect a fraction of users.
It’s really not that complicated. There aren’t any secret moving pieces.
Trump is a classic narcissist. As long as you’re talking about him in a way that feels positive, he will like you and agree with most everything you have to say.
I assure you, the rare security issues for password managers are far preferable to managing compromises every couple weeks.
Almost every revolution in history was caused by people that got too hungry while rich people were oblivious.
Give it a bit more time.
This seems like promising technology, but the figures they are providing are almost certainly fiction.
This has all the hallmarks of a team of researchers looking to score an R&D budget.
Reminder that Dr. Banting sold the patent for how to make insulin for $1 so that it could be easily mass-produced without a profit incentive
The world’s richest, in his view, think too little about their identities as billionaires and what will become of their treasures after death.
Historically, this is the only thing rich people thought about. Usually they would commission some huge public space like a library or a museum or park or something, and that would carry their name long after they died. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of that rather than just hearing about how unfathomably rich they are online.
“The gangbangers that you deal with, they think that they’re ruthless, they have no idea how ruthless we are,” Miller added.
“They think they’re tough, they have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore, we are so much more hardcore than they are, and we have the entire weight of the United States government behind us. What do they have? They have nothing behind them. So we are gonna win, they’re gonna lose.”
This reads like edgy fan fiction. Like, I would fully expect to hear this exact dialogue coming from Shadow the Hedgehog in some weird cop AU
The democrats just need to run on a platform of “I’m not trump” to win the “left” vote and run a campaign of restoring government services in red states.
This has been proven to be false. Twice within the last decade even
Non-LTSC Windows 10 hits EOL next month. They’re telling you you need to upgrade to the latest version to stay current, albeit in the most Microsoft way possible.
“I’m sorry that you’re all scared to call a nazi a nazi, even after he’s dead and cant hurt you anymore. Here’s the shiniest nickel I could find to help with the burial”
What’s the over/under that Arkansas farmers actually learn from this and stop voting Republican?
Vegas used to be a pretty cheap destination for a vacation that saw a ton of profit from the sheer amount of people that funneled there.
It used to be that you would sometimes get buffet and drinks comped if you spent enough time gambling, and that incentive would keep you in that casino continuing to gamble instead of going to a different place. The cost of a buffet meal and a couple highballs was a small price to pay to keep someone at the tables for another couple hours.
Now(within the last 15 years), Vegas is leaning away from being the worldwide gambling destination and leaning more into fine dining and live shows. This has changed the entire economy there and everything is crazy expensive if you’re anywhere near the strip.
This is all to say nothing about the drop in tourism in general because you might just get assaulted when you enter the country by some twat from ICE if your skin is darker than a hotel towel.
Yeah, no doubt.
Having access to visual basic is dangerous enough, let alone Python
At a super basic level, MacOS, Linux, and Windows all use different kernels.
From a very basic viewpoint. The kernel is basically the piece of software that gives each piece of hardware their instructions.
At the absolute most basic level, assuming equal hardware, all the kernels are working with same set of instructions(store this value in this register, move to this location in the stack, read this value, etc) but they issue those instructions in different orders to achieve very different results.
The NT kernel that windows uses does basically everything in a different way than the Linux kernel. To the point that their only real similarities are that they speak the same language to the bare metal hardware.
Discord circa 2018 was pretty much everything I’d want in a modern IRC.
If they can just bring that set of features, I’d switch back to IRC in a heartbeat.
The pathological need to find something to use LLMs for is so bizzare.
Venture capital dumped so much money into the tech without understanding the full scope of what it was capable of. Now they’re so in so deep that they desperately NEED to find something profitable it can do, otherwise they’ll lose the farm.
Honestly at this point we should stop offering Poppy seeds in normal goods. drug testing people in most cases.
It just reenforces the notion that drug use is a moral failing.
It still is if you’re willing to jump through enough hoops
