Linux is already a success.

Rust is not fun. I tried it, and I hated it. Maybe you like it if you like abuse, but man. I hated it. It was the least fun I had programming in anything since OCaml.

Or the plastics recycling was always an industry greenwashing campaign, and the vast majority of people actually do believe that sorting their plastics into a recycling bin leads to less plastic being manufactured, and this is just a move to educate the people that plastic recycling is actually a sham.

Phones should identify base stations that move around and blacklist them - refuse to connect to them or respond to them in any way. Base stations should be stationary - any cell station that moves is a bad actor. It could be a user option - allow connections to mobile base stations?

Hey China!

When you want to fund the revolution against the Epstein plutocracy HMU!

That's quite an assumption - he is assuming they are finite and reasonably small in number. Time will tell - and given the rapid pace of advancement in AIs finding vulnerabilities, it won't take that much time.

Why would anyone pay for a web browser? Seriously, why? In 35 years of web browsers, only dopes paid for them.

ahh these young kids donâ(TM)t remember Digitial Electronic Corporation, makers of legendary DEC Alpha CPU.

We will probably get to GLPH pretty soon. Or even PLPH or YLPH :-)

(TLPH is Terra not Trump :-) although I can understand the confusion in this context)

With a huge carve out for war crimes, murder, rape, child molestation, sexual assault, and official corruption. Those should live and last *forever*. Otherwise your "Epstien class" will always get away with everything.

Apparently the performance of the code it produces is worse than gcc with all optimizations turned off. That's pathetic. And it is written in rust, so it can't bootstrap - And the size of it is on par with a hand-written C compiler - so no win there.

When I worked on compilers at IBM, our first bootstrap of C for x86 was a cause for celebration. A double bootstrap was a great "smoke test". But that was relatively easy. Passing the validation test suites were *way* harder - like 50x harder.

Itâ(TM)s in its name. SERP = Search Engine Results Page. Theyâ(TM)re scrapes of Google SERPs. This is fallout from the Reddit license where Reddit decided to collect rent from Google and others for scraping their content. Apparently Reddit and Google decided to put Google only visible stuff on their pages (which is explicitly illegal under Googleâ(TM)s TOS, and has resulted in index banning) and then served up this secret content via SerpAPI.

Scraping Google SERPs has been standard behavior for literally as long as Google has existed. Thatâ(TM)s literally how Facebook, Microsoft, and countless startups and academics evaluate their own search engines. Iâ(TM)m not exaggerating. They literally compare their results to Google results, which always made me wonder what Google does.

As far as ignoring robots.txt and using different IPs? Please. Thatâ(TM)s also has been standard behavior for as long as the web has been around.

This is monopoly behavior, and Google is openly engaging in it and attacking the open web because thereâ(TM)s a sympathetic White House administration for them.

Il really trying ting to understand whatâ(TM) theyâ(TM)re alleging that hasnâ(TM)t been standard practice (even by Google) for literally as long as the web has existed.

Honestly, this sounds like textbook monopoly behavior.

10 years for this is bullshit.
Like all computer crimes, the estimated damage is grossly inflated. This doesnâ(TM)t even sound like the damage typical of a ransomware attack.

The guy is getting screwed.

Sure we have such a quantum pocket calculator - if your pocket is at 3 millikelvin. :-) Talk about shrinkage. :-)
