Everything in the visible universe is subject to lunar gravity now. That's how gravity works.

One very interesting point by the dissenting judge is that if you accept the majority's broad interpretation of swaps, then not only are prediction markets swaps, but normal gambling is as well. Therefore all currently legal and regulated gambling is actually illegal because the CFTC has exclusive jurisdiction, not the states, and none of these gambling operations are following CFTC rules.

Reasonable to assume that, in fact, we might choose to fly to the moon when it's closer to perigee.

It's become very "I built this with AI" and "how your business is going to improve with AI" and all sorts of terrible content, and GAMES! WTF.

Ah, but that's the ultimate wealth. If you own all the money, you also own all the people. As in, literal slavery.

And that is exactly the goal for some of these fuckers.

Even Iran has it. Well had it. Pretty sure it's gotten zeroed as of the past few weeks. It was not a large amount (you'd have to look up the amount, I think it is about $10 a month). Anyway the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Ariabia, Kuwait etc. have it. It's just a matter of how much they provide. The UAE provides enough to live on without a job (about $2,900 a month for an individual citizen). I think Saudi Arabia does too.

Copilot becomes an evening contributor on a self-proclaimed "for entertainment purposes only" network, bringing "fair and balanced" news, opinions and information ...

... or, whatever.

Is that just directly or does it include data that can be purchased through third-part brokers? 'Cause some agencies seem to be using the latter.

Not a lot against the guy, but he should be #5 .. he merely continued the trajectory set by the others.

As opposed to half-assed improvements? Obviously updates/patches pushed to end-users should be "production ready". It's sad that it had to be specifically stated that Microsoft actually worked on these. I imagine people will remain dubious anyway.

So much better than those updates designed to do the opposite. /s

Ironic? Yes. Surprising? No.

Then you'll accept it. And it is very much in their interest to determine that.

Just like it is very much in your interest to decide what that amount is. Which they have no say in whatsoever.

In other words, You're a grown up. Act like it.

If you dig deeper, you'll find that AMD originally reverse engineered the *8080*, not the 8086. The two companies had entered into a cross-licensing agreement by 1976. Intel agreed to let AMD second-source the 8086 in order to secure the PC deal with IBM, who insisted on having a second source vendor.

There would have been no Intel success story without AMD to back them up.

(That actually would have been for the best. IBM would probably have selected an non-segmented CPU from somebody else instead of Intel's kludge.)

The government wimped out and pulled funding repeatedly on re-usable launch systems even ones that were showing success.

The ass side of the Sun. Happy? You wanted the answer.

Anyone have any good commentary from flat earthers and moon landing deniers on this? I'm in need of some laughs.
