Syria says "Hi".

 

We're the United States. The world's most powerful country. Outside of Russia and China, all countries are "small".

And Russia and China... they have nukes. Attacking them means WWIII. If you think this is a good idea, by all means, run for President on your End Humanity platform.

Just vibe-code the font! What could possibly go wrong?

Seriously though, this sounds like it's time for the industry to cooperate on creating some open-sourced default fonts and technology to make it easier to edit (and share) new fonts.

I don't know why you're so shocked by this. The Dem-controlled states have already done that long ago. Illinois, California, Massachusetts, etc. have already been gerrymandered way in favor of the party in control, out of proportion with the general voting population in the state. What's happening now is that the requirement for requiring the creation of explicit "minority" voting districts is going away, for which the red states had (unwillingly) been gerrymandered in favor of "minority" (aka Democrat) districts.

I watched it on a non-quite-live stream and it was really impressive for a first landing attempt. First of all, the rocket went on to a successful orbit, which is the first priority of a reusable rocket. The first stage came down like a fireball (a rocket going butt-first is quite harsh dynamically), and it crashed next to the landing pad. That's even better than New Glenn's first attempt.

The stream was quite an experience tool. A couple of Spanish (or were they Mexican?) guys checking whatever social media that video clips of the launch were being posted to, even a photo of a monitor at the space center showing a a drone view of the landing zone. At the same time people were posting the same video clips and photos on 4chan. All this just at my bedtime, I wouldn't have known if I hadn't checked minutes before.

Americans are quite a bunch, land of the free, ha? Jay walking was invented and popularized in the States, in most other countries there are no such laws safe for a few. Germany, Singapore are very strict too but they are the exception, not the rule.

they only care about one kind of reputation - fear. This is what keeps them warm at night, the thought that the West is afraid of them, because it is definitely not gas that keeps them warm.

I know, it is true, the front lines have 50+ year olds, no doubt. Ukraine hasn't dipped into the pool yonger than 25 yet, this is the conscription age while orcs have sent 18 year olds to die for their tsar already. Ukraine also allowed 18 to 22 year old males to exit the country, over 45 thousand left to Poland. None of this changes what I said.

And?

First Street very likely doesn't have some magic model that can predict the future better than anyone else.

When you get a mortgage you have to pay for a flood survey. Even my house 700' above the village where the bank is.

Your flood risk is absolutely predicted by the flood history of your location. The bank writing the mortgage has the skin in the game which is why they make the buyer pay for the flood survey.

It sounds like First Street might be liable for damages based on pseudoscience if these Realtors bring a case. It would be interesting to see them present solid evidence that they prospectively beat the existing flood models and survive a cross-examination.

If they've published a peer-reviewed paper then I missed it.

Hostile design is often a sign of libido dominandi, not just laziness.

SmartTube has probably hundreds of settings you can tweak to improve usability and accessibility. The developer clearly has a user-first philosophy.

You have Revanced for Android but Apple doesn't allow such things.

It has some excellent accessibility improvements over stock.

Cheaper to just pay the bribes.

In America it's known as K-street. Or "donating" to an Inauguration Gala. Or hosting a high court judge in a European palace for a couple of weeks. Or giving decision makers absurd private sector salaries when they 'retire'. Or giving the Governor's wife a $200K no-show job. Pick your branch, there's a way.

In India the system is less formal.

Read through the comments in that telegram post, the amount of denial is staggering, the amount of cheerful propaganda is even greater, but there were some worried notes gleaming through all that cheerleading, where someone hoped they would still have a job later on. Someone thinks that the things may not turn out so well, they think that out of all of the options they may end up with the option I listed as number one here https://slashdot.org/comments....

what I can tell you from the very tone of this cheerful post, they do not have all of the necessary components and it will not be simple at all. Obviously they will try to launch Proton in December as scheduled by trying to do it without the service cabin, there is maybe a way, a bunch of wooden planks and ropes, who knows. The number of ways this may end up disasterous for the launch are too many to be listed here.

competing with spaceX is tough indeed, how exactly would you propose the Chinese bill uncle Sam for billions, consistently launching empty oversized buckets that burn up while delivering a banana to the Indian ocean?

No, I'm not. Don't be a sperg.

No, it isn't. 12oz 4pk@$10.99 = $2.75

No, it isn't. ~56,500 12oz in a 80k lbs trailer, max.

Wrong "value." Retailers don't pay retail, obviously.
