Bloomberg is behind a paywall. As far as I'm concerned, those "very lazy editors" are doing a service mirroring what they said.

FMT is one of the more reputable Malaysian news platforms, not being connected to Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Harapan like most of the other ones. The Library of Congress includes FMT in its archives for its coverage of events in Sabah and Sarawak. Dilarang bodoh, mat salleh.
It is literally just Cheddar and Colby cheeses mixed with an emulsifying salt. Keep torturing yourself with your gritty, fickle Mornay sauces if it gives you a feeling of smug superiority. Personally, I'd much rather reap the benefits of modern food science.
processed American cheese is the best cheese for melting on a sandwich and people who suggest otherwise have a very rudimentary understanding of food science. I will fight each and every one of you on this.
All of those languages are also massive balls of mud that were hard to implement correctly/efficiently/at all at the time that their specs were published, specifically because they tried to cover every possible programming niche all at once. For instance, Ada famously didn't have a single compiler that supported even a significant subset of the language for years after MIL-STD-1815 was published.

The article isn't about US customary units just because it says "feet," it's about informally describing units in terms of body parts (e.g. "At about arm's length")
Honestly, this is more than I expected them to admit, given how neophobic entertainment award academies tend to be. Remember that a movie can be ineligible for an Oscar unless it's released exclusively in an glorified fast food joint.*
*They temporarily lifted this rule during COVID, but it looks like they're trying to bring it back.
Is there anything to gain from a 10 km borehole aside from an understanding of the history of Earth? I mean, there's no way they're looking for oil or some other natural resource at those depths - even if there was anything worthwhile that far down, drilling 10 km to get to it places it well outside the realm of profitability. That'd also be a ridiculous amount of effort to put e.g. a seismometer at that depth, but maybe you're right and the CCP knows something we don't?
It is normal compared to other sites in the same situation. Most of those have failed because they didn't do what Reddit does. And here you are thinking that it means they're doing it wrong.
Yeah, they kind of are doing it wrong. They're in hot water for this, this thing that their mods are contributing to. It doesn't matter that SCOTUS brought up section 230 and declined to hear the case, I can't imagine that the legal fees and publicity hit was worth it to Reddit. Or maybe it was, and Reddit will continue to be the toxic cesspit we all know and tolerate until something like this inevitably happens again. Who knows? Anyway, I'm done, you have a great day.
If you are not willing to become the equivalent of a power mod, you cannot have a popular website with public comments.
Do you even know what a power mod on Reddit is? It's not just an off-the-cuff term for a moderator. In fact, it's not just your post that seems to be under the impression that the situation of moderation on Reddit is somehow normal compared to other sites.
Except that's not at all a realistic expectation. Subreddits that don't bring on power mods inevitably get brigaded (and, not coincidentally, flooded with the CP discussed in the article) and, because the existing, sane mods can't handle being overwhelmed with blatantly illegal content, shut down by the admins. Subreddits that do bring on power mods get all of the same issues that 99% of the subreddits have, including said power mods banning literally everyone they've banned previously from every other subreddit (shoutout to the time the creator of
Then again, I guess it stands to reason that Slashdot, a site with a lot of the same problems as Reddit, would be overwhelmingly defensive of their use of power mods.
There are still tons of services out there (not least among them, most small banks' web portals) that store passwords in plaintext somewhere. People cheering over the death of bcrypt and PBKDF2 are technically right, but they also have no idea how destitute things truly are.
I should also amend that I'm not sure if the charges in question would be considered felonies. I know that pirating more than "seven copies for audiovisual works, and one hundred copies for sound recordings" is a felony, but I don't think books are what the DoJ means when they say "audiovisual works."
