Spot on.

More people will do real porn too, because they can always claim it was a fake.

Don't forget about Prima Nocta.

That creepy King Charles face on your wedding night...

They are only addressing the economic argument, not the human rights argument.

Typical for EU bureaucrats.

ECB, World Bank, EU, BIS, IMF, NATO - one big incestuous club.

Some day ... when search engines are invented, I won't have to write down your references to look up at the library next week.

And yet all the cool kids love Python and YAML these days, both of which break in fun and interesting ways if you get the indenting wrong.

But that's by design, and is very clearly spelled out. And if you can't deal with Python's formatting rules, maybe you should go back to BASIC. The rest of us are making great stuff with it.

TIL:

apt-get install git-lfs
git-lfs clone (huggingface repo url)

regular git clone gives you tiny pointer files.

PS Thanks, Babs!

Also, we are currently in the most temperate time of the year. Wait until you can exceed the demand during winter or summer before running your victory lap... or are rolling blackouts no longer a thing in California?

IIRC, Roku Channel has some paid options. I am sure that it offers the same "subscribe to HBO/Paramount/whatever" features that Amazon/Google offer. So yes, they have a need to process recurring payments.

The headline can only be understood *after* reading the submission.

I'll say it again - I use ReVanced because it has accessibility settings YouTube refuses to expose (default video speed, etc.)

I use it with my YouTube Premium subscription.

Google better not violate the ADA by blocking accessibility tools - that would be a criminal act.

> all these companies lock customers into binding arbitration

Don't assume this in the case of fraud or theft without speaking to a lawyer.

Usually the whole agreement is void if crimes are committed.

And you need to find a judge who agrees, not convnce the legal academy.

At the start of the Shuttle design, RFQs went out to thousands of suppliers in the aerospace sector including a friend & mentor of mine.

Rudolph Kreuger, was an expert is seal design of many types amongst his aerospace contributions. He was a professional engineer and took the proposed rocket stage seal design specifics for the contract seriously and did his calculations.

His conclusion left him concerned about the viability of such a proposed set of conditions for the seal through the range of use conditions so he declined to quote.

The interesting thing to me was that for such a SUPER critical seal, I would have expected that an engineering company would want to find out why a recognized professional engineer sought to not quote the design to learn what they could for future design work.

Doing a critical point analysis ought to be part of every significant highly stressed assembly & I wonder if it was finally done correctly. It seems to have been ignored if it was.

Rudy, died over a quarter century ago, and as far as I know, no one but me and maybe his sons ever knew about this proposed design as he was a very quiet person. Putting yourself into public view can have all sorts of unintended consequences, which I surmise Rudy wanted to avoid.

Yes, the damaged craft needed to be written off.

NASA beancounters and politicians took a risk. Astronauts died.

Again.

It was said at the time that the white paint on the early shuttle tanks served to also keep the foam together and reduce drag on it.

They scrapped it to save money and increase payload by a tiny fraction. But mostly to save money.

Engineers: this is necessary.
NASA Bean Counters: nah.

Every freakin' time.

Is it still forbidden for a local hospital to pay the ISP so a radiologist can get stat MRI's faster than his neighbor gets cat videos?

Some places have like 10 meg of bandwidth for the neighborhood. FCC may imagine everybody has gigabit FTTH.
