Good thing hardly anyone bar a few paranoids has used PGP in email for a few decades. Even criminals use app based protected messaging services now.

How long can Meta survive without shipping a product people actually want?
They have like $80B in cash and cash equivalents. They can stick around for decades like AOL and Yahoo.
It is not called a steam explosion when the graphite moderator block explodes in fire. Obviously in such an explosion a lot of steam from the cooling system is created.
The graphite was not the material that provided the explosive force, the steam was. That's why it's called "a steam explosion." If you blow up a rockface with TNT, it's a "TNT explosion" and not "a rock explosion." This is not a difficult concept.
Fukushima "melted down" after power loss, due to the tsunami, and steam explosions wrecking the reactor vessels
Damn, you just love getting shit wrong. They were hydrogen explosions.
if that were true you wouldn't be making such a big fuss about everything being made in China.
Are Chinese workers equivalent to wrenches in your world view?
Chernobyl did not melt down.
It suffered a Graphite Explosion.
Completely different things.
Those are, indeed, completely different things but only one of them happened at Chernobyl. The graphite didn't explode, the explosion was caused by steam. The reactor also melted down. you can see pictures of the rather famous "elephant foot" proving such.
Agreed. It was a badly design function from the get go - yeah let's have a function that copies a string and nul terminates except when it doesnt. Genius.
Why would you do that? If you're using it for non-strings, you'd never have used strncpy, you'd have used memcpy. Which is the same thing without the null termination rules of strncpy. You'd never use the str versions unless actually working on strings.
"Sorry, this content is not available in your region."
Very useful.
Except neural networks currently control the lane keep assist in modern cars, never mind self drive ones. So clearly they now do work for process control.
... they've put a language interface on top of a standard search engine or database? I'm pretty sure thats not a new idea.
Seems to me the cars have no way of knowing about works that they cant look up on a database and their visual systems/models arnt yet up to the job of being able to spot possibly badly laid out dividers or cones up ahead, at least until it's too late. Probably not an easy fix.
Amazon took nine years to reach profitability.
I'm not sure Amazon is a good example here. The company famously opted to reinvest its free cash flow into growing the business, rather than saving them and booking them as net income. They likely could have been profitable sooner otherwise.
Also, I am not aware of Amazon receiving billions in government support in the 1994-2001 timeframe.
My personal favorite example of this is OpenAI's stated plan to have $1T per year in infrastructure spending. If you do the math, you will have to replace approximately 1/3rd of the entire productive US workforce and charge their former employers about $30k a year per displaced employee to break even. On the infrastructure. OPEX not included.
The math doesn't math.
Meh. Give me real AR glasses that let me display the stuff I want as an overlay on top of what I'm actually seeing, and I think $2k would almost certainly be worth it. I'm willing to bet the linked product isn't that, though.
Don't know, but the headline says "Moon", not "moon" even if TFA lowercases it.
The fact that the article uses lower case would tend to suggest that "moon" is correct. Title-case would capitalize the word in either case, so it isn't useful for inference.
Swap read error. You lose your mind.
