When it was removed, several states, stepped up and introduced their own net neutrality laws. E.g California with their Internet Consumer Protection and Net Neutrality Act. Some of the large telecoms are on record saying that this made it n

In Greenland they had a system to encode what purpose a building had. For example, if you were in a medical emergency, you would look for a yellow building. > Red buildings signified churches, schools, teachers’ or ministers’ houses. Yel

The Trip is amazing. That B roll cut is actually from the original TV series which is much longer than the movie. If you enjoyed the movie you'll love the series.

Yes, and that expectation seems either naive or ideologically blinkered to me. Especially after so many decades of consolidation with antitrust being a thing of the distant past. Seems to me it can't be merely a gathering of facts and

This entire "greedflation" saga is a bit surprising to me. That economic scholars are pushing hard against "greedflation" and for the idea that the main driver of inflation is greedy laborers and their excessive wage dem

That the provenance proudly includes "read into the Congressional Record" (Wikipedia also mentions this) is almost all you need to know about this. The rest can be gleaned from the Wikipedia page on the author: > W. Cleon Skous

I had no idea this was a thing until a recent trip. For a small while I was certain I had become too tired and had started seeing things. Quite trippy seeing another car about a kilometer ahead igniting the lights as it drove.

It's a bit annoying with new windows that they perform so well that you'll get dew or ice on the outside a lot of the time. Supposedly, windows with an outer self cleaning layer get less condensation, but they're quite expens

Nice! "A Final Hyperbase" by Firefox and Tip was made for the Amiga demo Enigma by Phenomena, which was released in 1991. Oh man, the nostalgia :) This is how it sounds on a video grab from an Amiga: https://youtu.be&#x

They already had created an "accident" and the gas in Nord Stream 1 was shut off since 31st of August. Even if that wasn't enough, why would they choose to damage the lines this severely (flooding them with sea water)?

Not all Rust programs are thin layers around libraries like FFMPEG. Why would you assume that? Also, "if it can't be 100% safe right now all at once, then why even bother?" isn't very pragmatic.

Not saying this is an outright scam, but given the history of ventures like this, I wouldn't give it a good chance to succeed on any level. The Behind the Bastards podcast had an interesting history of seasteading and similar schemes r
