Look at that, free market competition working in favor of the consumer yet again.

Reminds me of the good old days of roughly 15 years ago when all the cell providers managed to increase their price from $0.10 per SMS to $0.25 in lock step.

This is for everyone on twitter who already has a patreon and/or onlyfans.

Millions of dollars flows to those two companies by way of twitter, currently. Jack wants his cut.

Schools in my district already had already purchased one chromebook per student a couple years before the covid era -- although they used to stay in the classroom instead of going home with students. Computers are useful tools for students, and chromebooks have one big advantage in this market: they're dirt cheap (macbooks will never compete with chromebooks on price). Secondarily, the district uses Google Classroom heavily

So, yes, the pandemic has no doubt created a surge, but the wave was already in motion

my understanding is:

  * SSE is strictly speaking x86-family only
  * other platforms like ARM have their own SIMD instruction sets

There are wrapper libraries available which abstract away the architecture-specific semantics of the various vendors' SIMD instructions.

All this to say, presumably chrome requires SSE on x86-family platforms, or an equivalent SIMD instruction set on other architectures. No SIMD, no chrome 89.

Yes, healthcare.gov was a fiasco. USDS (United States Digital Service) was essentially spawned in the later years of the obama admin, from the team that unfucked healthcare.gov. And they've continued the mission of unfucking federal IT infrastructure for 6 years (and now 3 administrations) running now. They've delivered quite a bit in that time.

There is clear evidence of wildfire induced respiratory illness. What precisely causes that ailment? Only particulate matter and gasses, with no contribution at all from microbe exposure? It might be premature to reach for that conclusion.

Is this really AI?

Well, it depends on how you define "AI". It involves computer vision, which 25 years ago was very much under the umbrella of "Artificial Intelligence". It may involve some sort of trained "machine learning" model.

But "AI" is the technology of the gaps. A wise man once quipped "AI is whatever hasn't been done yet." Yesterday's "AI" is no longer recognizable as AI once the software has been widely deployed and adopted. Then it's just software.

I feel confident that if the defendant had had a competent expert to rebut the Malibu phony experts, defendant would have won.

The real story is that defendant didn't have his own expert to counter Patzer's BS

Actually whoever the new guy is, I don't find the site to be "improved" at all; seems a little crummy. The story was butchered and incorrectly interpreted, and the all important software for interaction seems less interactive.

But what do I know?

As to my absence I've been a bit overwhelmed by work stuff, sorry about that, it's no excuse :)

The story as published implies that the ruling overruled the lower court on the 3 issues. In fact, it was agreeing with the trial court on the third issue -- that the sporadic instances of Vimeo employees making light of copyright law did not amount to adopting a "policy of willful blindness".

Thank you for so astutely reading that thread; I thought maybe I was losing my mind :) I keep disagreeing with him, and he keeps saying we're on the same page :)

Yeah that's neither right nor left, it's the universal language of greedy bloodsuckers.
