Canadians are keeping our money at home. Shop local. And why is one online companyâ(TM)s big sale news anyway? Maybe we just have all the crap we need and spending money like this just because thereâ(TM)s a sale is an out of date trend. Save money for rent and groceries. And get rid of that twit running your country thatâ(TM)s messing up your economy and pissing off your neighbours at the same time.
And yet, there you are, buying products of that country, and using it to post spittle to Slashdot.
So when Lindsey starts reading from her AmEx-approved script, callers are infuriated by what they perceive to be another machine.
If she's accurately executing the programmers' script, I'd say she is a machine. Somebody port Doom to her!
This is a fuckin' awesome idea, but there's an easy improvement over the red rectangle and block symbol. Seriously, dude, you gotta use the sign images from They Live (1988). You know you want to.
If people don't have a government-granted monopoly on their features, they'll have no incentive to have any features at all.
We never needed "AI" or LLMs to think we're nothing more than machines.
Last I heard, Apple sales haven't plummeted and thrown them into bankruptcy, so it sounds like they learned the lesson just fine: it's fine to show people ads. People might complain a little bit, but they won't stop buying. Cost is $0 and ad revenue is presumably more than $0.
If someone is stuck with your proprietary software and you aren't showing them ads, then you're leaving money on the table. What're they gonna do, fork it out?
Yeah, I'm hung up on that too. You can come up with some outrageously huge numbers for mass and angular velocity, but once I multiply them by zero distance... I'm missing something.
the outer edge of the mass exceeding the speed of light
That intuitively makes sense, but I thought part of the black hole cheat is that it doesn't have an edge. I thought they were literally singularities, with a circumference of zero. Apparently not the case?
How a thing with a circumference of zero could meaningfully "rotate" is beyond me, but I thought this (and many other suspected properties of rotating black holes) was supposed to be beyond my ignorant layman understanding!
An adversary can coerce a proprietary software producer to compromise the code. That's what we're going to see here.
An adversary cannot time-travel to when a protocol was invented, and compromise the protocol. (Though I guess the NSA can come kind of close to that, by "helping" as it's being developed, w/out the time-travel part.) That's what we're not going to see here.
Ergo, proprietary apps will remain unable to provide secure messaging, but secure messaging will remain available to people who want it.
It gets weirder. Rhapsody had been Sonos' partner streaming service - and Rhapsody is also... I HEART RADIO. Now the whole Napster lot got dumped in the lap of venture capital vultures.
AFAIK Peacemaker S02 comes out in August. Of this year!!
