Allegedly. The 2 rules of his Fight Club were no underage sex stuff and no physical harm. That hitman claim was not part of his charges or sentencing. The heavy sentencing was to like "send a message" the judge said.

The courage a lot of these whistleblowers have shown is admirable. How the American public outrages, though: Facebook has targeted ads. How they don't outrage: their government is illegally tracking their own citizens' movements a

I have yet to understand people's appall at Facebook "using your data" aka targeted ads based on shit the person (mostly) knowingly gave them. LOL that "products before people" cry. The outrage was so doused in bitt

When I was sales-adjacent, the retail price for the fanciest highest paying ad, a 10 second pre-roll (video ad before the video) was $40 per 1,000 views. Without a specific campaign, it's like $2 per 1,000 or less. Unless it's dif

Here in Berkeley and other SF Bay Area cities, we have imposed an "Empty Home Tax" [0][1] at some $ and % per year. As a proponent, I figured it would incentivize people to either rent or sell their unused properties which will ho

Wow. Torvalds' distaste for Nvidia from that, albeit 12 year old, clip leaves little to the imagination. Re: gaming GPUs, Windows is their main OS, but is that the main reason why Huang only mentioned Windows in his CES 2025 keynote? T

I use bitcoin as a currency occasionally. I don't often trade my stonks for goods and services either.

I assume in this case, you are saying "the model" to mean the human Only Fans account holder and not an ML model in which the fake models are trained on? Something funny about clarifying that too.

Seems generally positive. They are getting help from the IMF, and the value of their bitcoin bag has increased greatly. And removing the requirement of accepting bitcoin will likely be unnoticed by most.

Since the name is/was Chuck E. Cheese's (possessive), should this article title be: "Chuck E. Cheese's's animatronics band bows out"?

Bitcoin has been declared dead some 400+ times, and it's always funny and always wrong. I really believe the claims are made by people bitter they didn't get in to it when it was first offered to them. https://bitcoinde

Bitcoin's dev headcount is "relatively small at only 41 active devs so far this year". Seems like an attack vector, especially for something whose whole security is basically crowd sourced. Also: The PDF doesn't allow te

My favorite part of the new naming is 1) that no one outside of news outlets uses that name, and 2) when the logo is place in UI it looks identical to a "close" icon. He's one step closer to making his everything app called X

ASCII art was so cool! After getting my day's work done in typing class, we could try our hand at making ASCII art via a list of commands to follow, and without knowing the final image. Like: 15 space, 1 V, 3 U, 1 V 15 space, 5 U 12 sp

Always see what's out there first. And don't get cold feed because someone else made something similar, or identical, such as Oink [0] made by Milk [1]. This example shows that all these can be true: app is useful, app has some us
