I don't even know where I could even get a hardcopy version of Moses T. Runnels' two-volume History of Sanbornton, New Hampshire, totaling around 1,700 pages or so and published in 1882. But I frequently consult the PDF version I downloaded from one of the numerous web sites that has it available. Then there's my OverDrive Libby account, which gives me access to the holdings of something like eight library networks covering virtually all of a state, plus a university library or two. I voraciously consume news from a variety of sources, including through aggregators like Slashdot and Fark. Plus various academic journals related to my work and other interests, through one of the aforementioned university libraries.

In short, if I'm not asleep or driving, I'm likely reading something. I just use a lot less shelf space and forests than I used to.

Someone get Greg Benford on the phone.

I recall there being some large funding bills that were disproportionately targeted at red states, but I don't know whether one of them supported solar rollout.
I don't recall the current administration being fans of solar.

Look, I know which video I watched.

Are they going to tell me how many times I watched it?

My workplace allows browsing outside of the Intranet with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, maybe others... basically anything but Edge.

...to get my security-conscious workplace to allow use of Edge for browsing sites outside our own Intranet.
That's the kind of tacit endorsement I'd need to see before even considering it for personal use.

If this were a Google service, it would've already been killed due to lack of interest.

(Okay, technically, they would've launched a different product that does almost the same thing, then killed the first one, then renamed the second one, then killed it.)

The excerpt is worded poorly.

Somewhere around 2-3% of American adults are taking GLP-1 drugs for any reason.

12.4% of American adults who take GLP-1 drugs now do so specifically for weight-loss purposes.

And this just days after the unique numbers assigned to objects in orbit passed 66000.
I think this Starlink launch will put us past 66100, actually.

I hope this leads to a decrease in the amount of SMS spam I get.

Make it the Apache Software Development Foundation and it'd be the easy-to-type ASDF.

(Oh, but wait, MIT already has an ASDF, the Autonomous Systems Development Facility.)

At least around where I live, if a cable provider wants to offer service in a given town, they negotiate a deal with that town where the town gets a little bit of money per cable customer. That money funds things like community-access TV stations, staff and gear, studios at high schools, and so on, so you can watch the local sportsball team, or whatever boring town government meeting, and so on and so forth.

Those community-based things have taken a huge funding hit due to cord-cutting, so they (and towns) have been curious about whether something similar might be worked out for high-speed broadband on a per-customer basis. The local community-access station here has also started looking for sponsorships from local businesses and such, to make up the gap in funding.

Came here for a UDP reference, leaving happy.

A union? Couldn't they call it a horde or something?

Im not a Max user, but I remember Netflix having account tiers for different amounts of streams at once or whatever.

After that, it seems simple, just use a FIFO. If youre allowed N streams, have N streams going, and another person logs in with the same credentials and starts a stream? You just disconnect whoevers been on the longest. Maybe pop up a little message saying "your account allows N streams; a new stream was started from [IP, Geolocation, sub-account profile, whatever] so youve been logged out." If the person who got booted is smart enough to log right back in, whoever connected right after them gets booted. And so on.

The problem would resolve itself very quickly, although it would temporarily result in a huge increase in the sentence "Police said the victim and their attacker were known to each other."
