All the cool kids left long ago.

John Deere still made a profit on their bad behavior -and that is in real dollars, not counting inflation or opportunity value of the money over the years.

Oh good, more surveillance software disguised as a crowdsourced public resource. Is anyone fooled by this stuff anymore?

-Yes, the DoD can choose not to use Anthropic as a vendor.

-No, the government cannot prevent others from doing business with Anthropic.

Two simple rulings following common sense -pending the results of the actual lawsuits (and the inevitable appeals).

Don: Why shouldn't we? We're the winner. We won.

He's giving himself prizes now.

It's not difficult - Iran must be balkanized if Israel is going to conquer the Middle East and expand its proper borders to "those promised by God". They will demand a regional empire beyond their borders as a "buffer zone".

The Eschatological Christian Zionists want them tp destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque and build the Third Temple so Jesus can come back. Much of the Senior Brass at DoD (or Department of War Crimes) believes in this.

Is it all absurd and crazy? Doesn't matter, it's what motivates the people with nukes.

That and Trump being blackmailed with Epstein Tapes. The news says it's specifically an audio tape of a phone call between those two.

This is what the people who want peace in the world are up against. We can't counter what we deny.

Exactly. The English Majors went where other investigators have previously gone and ruled out.

The stack of blockchain, Merkle Trees, halvings, etc. show a level of insight a quantum above Hashcash.

There's noting wrong with being "quite good" but "engineering genius" is something different.

Besides, Satoshi would never have stood for not funding mining with txn fees. The BTC chain is in danger of being unmineable very soon.

I bought some paper books from Amazon in 1998 and they still work like the day I bough them.

Excellent support after 28 years.

I was thinking the same. I did this in the early 2000s with an old 486, except it was dialing out with a 56k modem. It was running a Junkbuster proxy to filter out ads. Amazing that I was able to do that with 33MHz.

I'm still using my Kindle 3. It's still working fine, with the original battery and everything.

I don't let it connect to the Internet and really don't care if Amazon still supports it.

It has pretty limited mods though. I was able to get shell access but you can't do much with it. What's the most mod-friendly e-reader?

The more believable articles stated that the pilot used a Boeing-manufactured emergency satellite signal radio to alert rescuers to his location (sending GPS coordinates via encrypted signals at irregular intervals to make back-tracing his signal more difficult).

That is unsafe engineering. A failure condition where the presumption is "All Clear" for aircraft entering an airspace.

Neither civilian or military can afford to assume that a space is clear unless told otherwise -the presumption must always be not safe until confirmed clear. The risk from a false negative is too high.

I'm in the same boat, I just assumed it was quietly discontinued and never to be spoken of again.

When you have a product made from leftover rejected parts the supply is guaranteed to be limited.

So you hype it as "for a limited time" and people go hog wild with FOMO.

coming soon: "The Neo is Back."
