Yeah, and Sam Bankman-Fried is proud of his gamble too.

The article isn't about failed and discontinued products though is it. It's about the level of control the corporates have over the already purchased products to remove perfectly good features and ruin what was a perfect good product.

It's about the future of such behaviour. Like how inkjet printers have similarly faded into obscurity. Not because there wasn't any demand.

LOL, yeah, it's so tempting to call April fools.

Floaty bits sink according mass. Stack something on top it sinks. Take the stack away, it rises back up.

It's the stacking, or effective crust thickness, that is significant.

That's not maintained at all then.

I don't buy the standard boilerplate reason either. By claiming ownership it also claims the liability. A standard boilerplate disclaimer should be distancing the company from any user posts.

Effective crust thickness changes - from ice loss. Even if no change in gravity, that means the remaining crust must rise to equalise.

I think what is being said is those are all already completely cancelled for the foreseeable future.

While the ice at the poles continues to melt at pace, allowing the ground there to rise up, sinking the equator, so thereby driving a faster spin to conserve momentum, it is overpowering the slowing effect of the moon's tidal drag.

And that's what's so jaw dropping about it. Humans are now imparting more force on the planet than the Moon is!

It's not even close to the same for games and their consoles but "subsidising" printers certainly keeps a huge lot of people out of the inkjet printer market. Everyone takes one look at the cartridge prices then walks away. They're literally 10x overpriced!

All bets the copper is not gone though. The copper will still be maintained, even if not in use, for anyone that wants the assurance of reliable emergency service.

That's what's happened here in New Zealand. We too went fully fibre many years ago.

An UPS would then need to be provided, and maintained, by the lines company. An average Joe would be clueless about maintaining it. Hell, an average IT dept is usually shit at the job ... wanting a sparky to take care of it for them.

No, the collecting of user tracking data by the social media companies is just way too tempting a honey pot to not pillage.

Youtube doesn't actually need our personal info to function. It's just an ad money grab that ends up pushing other businesses out of business.

The real problem is the collection of user tracking data in the first place.

It's the same problem that all social media has. They desire the most advertising pull possible. User behaviour is a biggie for them in that race to the bottom. So much so that it pushes other businesses right out of business.

I would think everything given the charges at hand are just a trumped up case to scare others away from exposing similar crimes. Like the invasion of Iraq itself for example. Even Bush called himself a terrorist after all.

Spotting this stuff is just one small skill. It's certainly not a job.

Great that these tools can do something useful finally ... after 50 years of trying.
