Isn't that nice that the slop house knows everything about you.

It's not as though that was not known already.

I wonder when his birthday is - he is 19 now, but how old was he 14 months ago?
(Looking at the second link - the pdf - he was born on December 3 2006 so he was 18 in May 2025)

As long as China does not introduce retaliatory sanctions for something Chaotically Stupid.

I can't remember having read about it either, but I'm pretty sure that Caldera was later taken over by SCO and anyone who can't remember SCO's attempt to sink Linux is either very young or has been living underneath a rock for several years. SCO had their own Linux distribution at the time, and that distribution was a rebranded Caldera.

I suspect Kim Jong Un got better grades in college than our dear leader

Of course he did, but maybe not for the reasons you're implying.
Kim Jong Un's daddy (Kim Jong Il) was the Supreme Leader before him.
Kim Jong Un's granddaddy (Kim Il Sung) was the Supreme Leader before him.

There was another site his administration shuttered in his first presidency, one which carried medical data in the form of symptoms and possible causes. Afaik the content was simply lost, Slashdot reported on this at the time.

That data is based on a 2025 report from the EU, the actual report says it is based on data from the years up to and including 2024.
Something I don't understand is why the report's figures diverge from those it is supposedly based on.

Country Worldodometers EU Report
China 33.12% 29.2%
USA 11.69% 11.1%
India 7.96% 8.2%
EU27 see note 5.9%
Russia 5.07% 4.8%
Those figures purport to be the percentage of global emissions attributable to each country.
note: Wordodometers carries the emissions for the EU countries individually (Germany has the highest, then Italy, Poland, France and Spain in that order), the EU report bundles them all together.

It's starting to look as though this vote of confidence for bitcoin was the kiss of death, although the rot really set in around 3 months later.

Thanks, that article left a lot out.
Britain runs from approximately 50 degrees N to 59 degrees N with most of the population at the Southern end of that.
In N American terms, that is Winnipeg / Medicine Hat / Kelowna to Skagway / Uranium City / the southernmost tip of Greenland (yeah, but there's F-all else up there, and for a reason).

Only a couple of weeks ago I was reading about how the collapse of the Gulf Stream due to climate change is going to turn Britain into a frozen wasteland.

Either you misunderstood what they wrote or the writer - deliberately or not - misrepresented the process.
The Gulf Stream is a wind system starts some place around Florida, then heads NW across the Atlantic towards Britain and nearby countries, then onwards to Scandinavia before circling westwards and then S along the E coast of Canada and the US.
The air stream which arrives in Britain has been warmed up (winter) or cooled down (summer) on its way across the Atlantic, it has also accumulated a lot of moisture on the journey. This is where Britain's reputation for wet weather originates, although that applies more in western areas (Ireland, Wales, W England and W Scotland) than on the E side of England and Scotland. The high pressure systems affecting Britain and Western Europe are leading to more extreme weather with less precipitation. There is a high pressure system affecting the weather in the region right now and it has funnelled hot, humid air from N Africa to the region. Hot and dry, apart from the occasional thunderstorm. This is supposed to peak this coming weekend and drop away at the start of next week - it should be a lot cooler with some much needed rain.

I saw a fake advert in Germany in May 2021, posted in the name of satire.

Alle 17 Minuten ruft ein Polizist Daten von Helene Fischer ab"
Polizeiship

The advert looked like one for "Parship" which is an online dating service.
The text translates to "A policeman/woman looks up Helene Fischer's data every 17 minutes" (she is a singer) and the small print went into more detail of abusive searches by the police (of just one state) in their online database. A lawyer was getting threatening letters from self-proclaimed neo-nazis at her private address, which is not publicly available. Death threats to her and her daughter. It turned out that the data was from that police database and that the policewoman who retrieved the data held political views which tended in that direction.
To the best of my knowledge, the man who sent the threats is in jail. I don't know what happened to the policewoman, but some of her group were suspended from duty and one of them reacted by driving his car into a tree at high speed.

Flook delivers current data (if they identify people correctly) but the problem is wider than that.

At least apps are usually required to add a note to the fine print, what the app will do in the background.

Does that have to be in English? Is Chinese permissible?

Those on the Forbes list who were remotely interested in visiting the Titanic will have had people to assess the risk and they will have said "don't do it" (unless they stood to inherit).

Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths. If you want freedom, stop regulating monopolies into existence.

Statism creates billionaires.
