Or if you want more than 256 gigs of storage built in. The Mini’s pricing makes no sense at all if it’s not Base or with the M2 Pro.

I didn’t downvote but was tempted. > I'd just as much prefer to use a social media platform that doesn't bend the knee to the government. Let the people decide for themselves what is useful information or not. We live in a repr

To points 1 and 2 this particular judge, amongst others, has been known to issue overly broad injunctions that reek of political bias. The injunction is almost more the point of these cases. If someone goes forum shopping, they have a decen

Analytics tracking pixels normally ARE GIFs, specifically a 43 byte transparent 1x1 GIF. But most “GIFs” are not GIFs but rather Mp4, mov, or webm or some other compressed file format. Actual GIFs are extremely wasteful of bandwidth and not

Anyone who has worked in data knows this difference instinctively. There’s a massive difference between the data being theoretically available somewhere in your organization and “trivially” accessible vs actually being able to run a query (

Paper and pencil doesn’t work in the US because of how litigious we are, and because each state operates their own elections. If every state ran elections the same way we could standardize on something like the UK has and have collective fa

Dominion in recent days has said they wanted an equivalent effort retracting the lies as was spent spreading them. We’ll see if that was just posturing with what the settlement terms end up being.

It will be interesting to see what the terms of the settlement are. I’m always amazed that firms go right to the brink of trial before settling. Sometimes the judge issues certain rulings that may lead a party to realize their odds are lowe

It makes sense, the restaurant makes less cash with online orders. Why wouldn’t they try to save whatever they can? I wonder what portion of this is from biases caring for less about anonymous online orders. Seeing a human face might prompt

It could be powerful against non peer adversaries. There are only a few countries that track ballistic launches, and with luck they would be delayed relaying the information to whatever useful fool of theirs the US military is invading unti

He didn’t have an insane mandate of Congress, which decidedly was going to impeach him. It took some time and solid investigation but his party wholesale rejected him and made it clear he had no political future. Nixon was could either resi

Worse it creates incentives to convict people who are likely to be political opponents to prevent them from voting. This practice also removes a voice from one of the most vulnerable groups in society, the incarcerated. Like many things, it

Constitutionally he doesn’t have an option right? States are required to extradite. I mean the man is surrounded by federal law enforcers 24/7 who would be obliged to take him in so it isn’t an issue anyways. And supposedly Trump is su

Liquid Death is counter culture, deliberately rebelling against the status quo (and collecting a price premium for doing so). Even here they lean into conformity - their cans are shaped and styled like beer cans - partially for marketing an

I’d argue intellectual property existed earlier than that, as soon as states (or guilds) considered certain techniques and skills exclusive to them. Off the top of my mind, with a solely European view the Venetians moved glass production to

To pile on on other comments regarding the non viability of air launch rocketry, the only reason it makes sense is for rerouting launch locations based on weather. The only customer needing an asset in orbit regardless of a weather violatio

So because they have one webpage giving lip service to diversity and the environment, they automatically don’t value their core competency? I’ve seen a few conservative tweets trying to tie DEI and ESG into SVB’s collapse in a weird attempt

Correct, storing PII is against GA’s TOS. Which doesn’t at all mean it isn’t ingested somehow or another (and Google can trivially integrate it back to a person if they wanted to). PII is a very malleable term depending on the jurisdiction.

I trust those who have summarized the video(s). I have little interest in viewing an extended violent murder of a man. It’s not a matter of spending time to watch them, I don’t deal well emotionally with videos like this. I didn’t watch ISI

If I could wave a magic wand and fix only one (tedious, not actually important thing) all fonts will have slashed zeroes. It’s especially tedious that URL bars do not distinguish between I and lowercase L’s.
