Well, not that shocked.

This.

The Emperor's New Clothes is quite applicable here. It's not enough to point out that he's naked as a jaybird, but that this has become "common knowledge" and one is now safe to act on it without negative consequences.

Just try to step up and say that your company isn't going to bite on the AI bait and the market will knock points off your share price.

There's an interesting book out on that topic.

... Pittsburgh is my favorite team!

I use Airbnb and would have been happy to try our alternatives if I had known about them and seen positive reviews like yours. Their marketing must have sucked.

I wonder if it's possible to write a uBO filter rule that replaces that ad with this video?

The name of that attribute has changed. If you update your filter to match (easy enough to find w/ uBO), the pop-up will go away.

I'm expecting a lot of cat-and-mouse on this site over the next few weeks / months.

But it only cost me $50 - and it came with a bonus pair of pants attached.

... put it in the bid specification. Spare parts, maintenance manuals, etc. It's what the commercial airlines do.

Can't get anyone to bid on such terms? Well then, you let too many suppliers merge, creating an oligopoly that isn't in the best interest of the nation. Or if its collusion between the manufacturers, set a trap for them and then it's off to prison. Goodness knows you've got enough FBI agents sitting in bars, waiting for some dirt bag to walk in and hire a hit on an enemy.

Yeah. But you're going to fail that Concours d'Elegance trophy class with fake parts.

The Big G is finally making good on its promise to add its market-leading Nano Banana image-editing model to the app.

What it a promise, or a threat?

64, 65. Whatever it takes.

Yeah, but you see, from marketing perspective what sounds better? The Line or the Dot or the Pimple?
They had these 3 choices, they made the more sensible one even though it has nothing to do with a good or sensible city outline.

It is fairly obvious what's going on, because nowadays you can just buy satellite pictures for a few hundred dollars.

And that is not counting the verified reports of hundreds of women raped in the camps, or the pleasant little habit of installing party members and soldiers in the houses of Uyghurs in jail to look after their kids - including teenage daughters.

It is ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide. The Han Chinese are truly despicable.

This is what I fear. I'm just not certain whose source will be "leaking" into whose kernel. Or why, if Linux devs (Linus) have decided up to this point _not_ to adopt a standard C construct, it is now considered to be a good idea.

Are we developing Linux using the Cut-N-Paste culture of Stack Overflow?

You used a whole lot of words to still be describing collective punishment, which is still a war crime under the 1949 Geneva Convention.

But do go on about why that's perfectly fine in the circumstance of a brutally oppressive authoritarian regime and how the "western media" got it all wrong.
