The issue is that people are able to be targeted with surgical precision because of mass data collection. Banning political ads is just a half ass treatment of the effect. And sociopath Zuck doesn’t even see the need to do that.

They actually do have lots of sales. Rivian is making a “skate” that is everything but the body of the car. Bolt on the body and you have an EV. Amazon and Ford have made large orders.

The Taycan is a dreadful EV. Inferior to the Model S in nearly every way and at double the cost.

Three words. Income Sharing Agreement. Banks and insurance agencies have already calculated what a degree at a particular college is worth. People just tend to get really butt hurt when they see that a degree in Tuba Performance from NYU is

There is plenty of housing. Normal market dynamics here are totally fucked because of the rent stabilization, rent regulation, and short term rental companies such as Airbnb. Last I looked nearly half the apartments were in one of those thr

I agree that everyone should watch and judge for themselves. But I had a completely different reaction. To me it feels like a survey driven TV show devoid of compelling story or character development. As if they wrote every scene of every e

I could live with all the limitations of Linux and Proton but I can’t live without the anti cheat. It is the single biggest roadblock for gaming on Linux right now.

Just because people are saying it doesn’t make it true. It doesn’t even make sense as a thickening agent. It’s not more valuable if it’s thicker and it becomes more difficult to handle and to fill cartridges. It’s used to water down the pro

There have been fewer than 50 deaths attributed to vaping. It shouldn’t even make the top 1,000 list of things to bother worrying about.

The total amounts awarded to each company still differ by nearly $2 billion. I cannot imagine how much more Boeing would cost if they weren’t forced to compete with SpaceX. I wonder how much further along SpaceX might be if they were able

Well I clearly missed that news update! Whoops.

Keep in mind Boeing was awarded $1.7 billion more than SpaceX.

As you said that was a recovered capsule from an ocean landing that they were testing. SpaceX will not be using recovered capsules for crewed missions. To be fair they have not stated why it exploded. If it was damage during landing or retr

Yes. You can check by attempting to login to Facebook. If you have an account your data has been in a leak.

That’s an oversimplification. The Facebook API had a gaping hole in it that allowed third party apps to access data on the authorized user AND friends. Facebook discovers these kind of issues on a regular basis. The idea that they’ve clamp

The author tosses around some strong and unfounded accusations but my takeaway was that this accounting practice is ethical but risky. Case in point... Boeing isn't manufacturing or selling the 737-MAX as of this moment. If their acc

I can't believe Boeing has been able to get away with the 737-MAX. It is a unique plane with unique flight characteristics running a complex software simulation so that it "feels" like an existing plane. It's an abomin

Except for all the companies that accidentally leak it to, all the companies that grab it in breaches, all the companies that find it sitting in S3, all the companies they sell it to, etc. But otherwise yes only Facebook will have it.

I think the point is that many AWS customers aren’t doing all of that and still assume they are saving money. I would finger in the wind guess that a majority of AWS customers are just renting servers and storage and not even scratching the

Right. In this case he plead guilty and admitted to having done it. I am just curious as to which specific laws he broke and whether it is possible to inadvertently break these laws by being a horrible programmer. If he had intentionally

I read the DOJ link and it just states “intentional damage to a protected computer.” If he had accidentally written sloppy code that happened to break periodically would that have been illegal? I don’t fully understand what law he broke and

Active duty care varies wildly from post to post. My wife and I experienced spectacular care but I have heard dozens and dozens of horror stories from people who were stationed elsewhere. What is really amazing is that active duty family c

Knows next to nothing about the vehicle. Has no idea about actual implementation details or safety because vehicle does not currently exist. Still makes blanket statements of fact anyway.
