It's not *very* organic though, since the coal ash is what's left over after you've burned most of the carbon.

The good news is that Roku has also introduced a recommended content row, that will compile picks from across various streaming services and use AI to point customers toward new shows and movies they might like.
How the fuck does this merit the description "good news?" Here, let me translate this for you:
"We're going to take away the channel selection menu that you put together and prioritized according to your own wishes, and replace it with paid placements and whatever our half-baked Mechanical Turk chundered up. And replace the lower-third of the main screen with video ads."
While you're at it, why not dump dogshit on my plate and call it chocolate cake?
The compression utility, known as xz Utils, introduced the malicious code in versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1, according to Andres Freund, the developer who discovered it. There are no confirmed reports of those versions being incorporated into any production releases for major Linux distributions, but both Red Hat and Debian reported that recently published beta releases used at least one of the backdoored versions—specifically, in Fedora 40 and Fedora Rawhide and Debian testing, unstable and experimental distributions. Because the backdoor was discovered before the malicious versions of xz Utils were added to production versions of Linux, “it's not really affecting anyone in the real world,” Will Dormann, a senior vulnerability analyst at security firm ANALYGENCE, said in an online interview. “BUT that's only because it was discovered early due to bad actor sloppiness. Had it not been discovered, it would have been catastrophic to the world.”
The really worrying part here is that the developer clearly did it on purpose, and he has been on this project for a solid two years. This raises all sorts of questions about the security of Linux in general. How many other 'deep cover' operatives might be planning or actually in the process of inserting malicious code into the Gnu/Linux code base?
John Oliver on Last Week Tonight did a whole show on McKinsey. The service they actually provide, as has been noted earlier in these comments, is a way for management to deflect responsibility for what they were always planning to do, anyway, which is usually budget cuts and layoffs, and/or massive boosts to executive pay packages.
There's a lot of speculation about a rather prominent crypto developer who died very suspiciously shortly after Satoshi's farewell message.
Cheap reliable oil bad.
Read up on the term "external cost", then actually think about the implications for more than 750ms.
You should then realize that oil is not, and never has been, cheap, but rather has been monstrously costly, and all those costs are coming due.
This (*cough*) game was essentially invented almost fourteen years ago by Alex Steacy of LoadingReadyRun -- as a joke.
And then someone actually wrote it.
Google's geniuses decided that switching tabs is something one needs to do with a mouse.
CTRL-PgDown / CTRL-PgUp. Geez...
And before you ask: Reposition the current tab using CTRL-SHIFT-PgDn / CTRL-SHIFT-PgUp.
"...Although I am unable to go into specifics, we had to evaluate our priorities and had to make the difficult decision to discontinue the service."

Someone smart with an RPi and a bit of code can intercept NNTP queries.
"Um, Actually..."
You meant NTP, the Network Time Protocol. NNTP is Network News Transfer Protocol, used to pass around USENET posts.
You'd have to take in a fair bit of formaldehyde for it to be a problem.
Define "fair bit."
Does the outgassing from petrochemical foam, force-fed through your nasal cavities and into your lungs for eight hours every night, constitute a "fair bit?"
Incidentally, a circle with a radius of 60 miles centered around the VMWare campus in Palo Alto includes: Monterey, most of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Salinas, Hollister, Manteca, a fair chunk of Stockton, Fairfield, Rocktram (Napa just barely escapes), Novato, Point Reyes Station, and the Farallon Islands.
