"Biologist Rob Laidlaw sees animal interest in technology as a manifestation of their need for stimulation -- a result of the boredom they experience in captivity."

Then release them from captivity you dumb f***.

I'm in the same position, I have an OPI PC H3 with 40 pin header, which gives me 28 GPIOs in a convenient header that I can breadboard and control using low level /sys/class/gpio commands.

But it's woefully underpowered in terms of CPU and memory, I'd love to upgrade but all the newer stuff has gone down the 26 pin route for no apparent reason. It's like they forgot that these boards are for hobbyists and electronic developers, and not just for someone wanting a computer on a small footprint.

Where can we meet the fair Lindy Elkins-Tanton(opens in new tab)

Well, if they've posted a screenshot, then it's all good, no way anyone could fake one of those ...

> By writing new software in Rust instead, even amateur programmers can be confident that they haven't introduced any memory-safety bugs into their code

And neither has any other language in the last 30 years ... it's only because C and C++ were so shit on memory boundaries, and other languages were written in C and C++ that any issues exist at all.

You might as well argue that any software that tells you an update is available is "an ad".

Nearly Half of Covid Patients Self-Reported They Haven't Fully Recovered Months Later, Study Finds

This is what happens when you give people free money to stay at home when they're sick, they quickly realize that if they say they're still sick, they'll maybe get MORE free money.

And honestly, this is Scotland, a country renowned for giving their people free stuff, subsidised by the rest of the UK.

"bridge the digital divide between wealthier residents and lower-income people who lack the tools necessary for remote learning, access to health care and job opportunities"

But what it will actually bridge is access to PornHub and social media.

"Psychology lecturer John Shaw, who headed up the study, said children were supposed to sleep for between nine to 11 hours a night, per NHS guidelines, but those surveyed reported sleeping an average of 8.7 hours nightly."

So he's comparing what they are "supposed" to sleep with what they actually sleep?

Why not compare actual sleep patterns before social media with those currently, rather than some arbitrary selected measure of what something is "supposed" to be.

Hell I am supposed to be 6 foot, build like Adonis, with more money than Elon Musk. Unfortunately, what I'm "supposed" to be, and what I actually am, are worlds apart. I don't get to claim I "lost height" or "lost muscle" or "lost money".

From the Bleeping Computer article ...

"The threat actor says this server holds 2.05 billion records in a massive 790GB database containing user data, platform statistics, software code, cookies, auth tokens, server info, and many more"

Unfortunately msmash managed to butcher this in the summary here as "2 billion records and 790GB worth" implying they are two distinct sets of data.

But if we take the original article as accurate, that equates to about 400 bytes of data per user. No way that's any where near the amount of data and statistics to even express the likes on a video.

I'm calling bullshit on this. Some "hacker group" is looking for reputation, they've taken a sample of publically available / scraped TikTok data, and will presumably be selling it for BTC to the highest bidder, who will end up very disappointed.

Perhaps YouTube could learn a thing or two from TikTok. Like a 35 minute long-form informercial is not an "ad" that should be played in the middle of a 5 minute video.

"A lower risk of dying".

The risk of dying is P=1, unless drinking coffee confers immortality.

They've been selling you out since the start, appending their affiliate ID onto search results so they get a commission from Amazon et al for every purchase you make ... something that's buried in their T&C but strangely never promoted as "a feature" because they were constantly banging on about privacy and tracking. Now that's up the chute, they're basically a wrapper around BING that monetise your purchases, and basically not a lot else.

> It also encourages incredibly stupid things

How is this any different than attaching a vanilla onclick event to each li?

The only incredibly stupid thing here is the programmer. A wrapper around js that allows the exact same thing you could do in vanilla js is not the fault of the wrapper.

Seem like the author isn't aware they were "hacked" i.e. exit scam on March 25th (or earlier, the funds were moved about a week earlier).

The token doesn't hold value because there's no longer any value behind it. Duh.
