If you had to pick just one, who do you think is more important to “get”, the billionaires that funded and protected her and Jeffry’s scheme, or her particularly?
Re-imprisonment or the dropping of protections could make her talk.
If she’s out of prison she dies within a year, killed either by an assassin from one of the billionaires, or by a helpful intelligent volunteer like yourself.
You mean eliminate the one person that could still believably implicate the people most at fault?.. That’s what you hope for?
He meant “lost it” as in outran a pursuer? (I thought lost it as in “the thing is broken” at first).
I see… TIL, thanks.
You mean because Twitter is an SMS-based messaging app?.. The character limits are arbitrary, not a technical limitation. Which is why they doubled them at one point, I believe.
The limits were meant to act as a micro-blogging enforcement measure, for micro attention spans.
What are these screenshots of?
Nobody cares. Not even MAGAts truly care about this anymore, judging by reactions on what became of thedonald.
“Who’s signal is this?”
“Oh, it’s that guy with the metal strips. His address is on a post-it note somewhere around here.”
Meh. He only had $23.50 in his account.
I’m all for the “SLEEP 8 HOURS” bit though. I need more of that in my life.
You had one job.
I get the impression this is a video-only thing because you need multiple vantage points of the scene. You can still extract a single frame in the end of course (like the article itself does), but you’ll need to shift around meaningful distances, like attack submarines do with Target Motion Analysis.
That’s 25 attoseconds, no?.. If so, that’s impressive.
The power record holder right now is the Măgurele laser in Romania, at 10 PW, but it lasts a thousand times longer, at 25 femtoseconds I believe. I can’t find clear info on pulse duration anywhere. They do intend to decrease pulse durations it seems.
I think “blitzkrieg” matches somewhat: don’t stop to engage every stronghold, just drive around them, isolate them, and cut off their support networks.
This doesn’t make sense to me. The ultimate value of shares is in the dividends they represent, no? If there are no dividends ever, what are they sharing in? Is it just a postponement until future dividends? A share in control of activities?
I get that there’ll be speculation that will keep values increasing, and selling can net a profit, but what does the last share-holder get?
Thanks, and sorry about that! I removed the colon from near my URL now, just in case.

TL;DR
If you’re short on time, here’s the key engineering story:
McIlroy’s first innovation was a clever linguistics-based stemming algorithm that reduced the dictionary to just 25,000 words while improving accuracy.
For fast lookups, he initially used a Bloom filter—perhaps one of its first production uses. Interestingly, Dennis Ritchie provided the implementation. They tuned it to have such a low false positive rate that they could skip actual dictionary lookups.
When the dictionary grew to 30,000 words, the Bloom filter approach became impractical, leading to innovative hash compression techniques.
They computed that 27-bit hash codes would keep collision probability acceptably low, but needed compression.
McIlroy’s solution was to store differences between sorted hash codes, after discovering these differences followed a geometric distribution.
Using Golomb’s code, a compression scheme designed for geometric distributions, he achieved 13.60 bits per word—remarkably close to the theoretical minimum of 13.57 bits.
Finally, he partitioned the compressed data to speed up lookups, trading a small memory increase (final size ~14 bits per word) for significantly faster performance.
Have you considered that you may be a hallucinating AI yourself?.. Quick, try drawing a full glass of wine!
That’s not true, I’m sure NATO will answer NATO’s call to help kick NATO’s ass.
Unpopular opinion, but the judge was right. There would be zero benefit to society to reward this absolute cybersquatter. There’s an almost zero benefit to reward a corporation. Both bad, but the corporation should get it in this case.
