As a place to park some cash, sure. But if I were running Disney there would be no character deal and I would need some kind of proprietary technology license that keeps certain AI improvements out of the hands of my competitors. Disney re

This all seemed very clever until I read the bio and learned that the author works for Microsoft -- the last company that has any business being flip about security. Bro needs to STFU and get on with the security drudgery, because his

Maybe a curl Patreon for would-be H1 contributors? Just need to figure out a donation amount that is trivial for legitimate security researchers, but too rich for spammers.

I imagine the selection seems random because these are films that WB has the most favorable contracts for -- So there is no need for them to track number of streams so they can send some director or production company penny checks every mon

The article never hints at a business or regulatory angle. The author repeatedly has no answer for the sudden (and often long-term) closures. After the first anecdote about the couple getting evicted shortly after spending weeks of 12-16 h

I have long considered the relationship of OD&D to historical medievalism as equivalent to the vaporwave genre vs. music actually produced in the 80's.

Yes, the wife could be trying to set herself up to claim that she was mislead/mistaken about the substance she was "supplementing" her husband's diet with. Creepy story no matter how you read it, though.

Initially I was inclined to disagree ("these things should always fail safe") however with more and more stuff being pushed into the kernel it's hard to say that you're wrong or exactly where a line needs to be drawn bet

When this decision was made for MS-DOS (and it may not have even been made then, but simply brought in from 86-DOS which may have cargo-culted it from CP/M-80) it is very unlikely that "what ARPAnet requires" was a considerat

It was the 80's equivalent of green text messages vs. blue text messages.

The most disturbing thing about this is that the lottery couldn't seem to confirm if it happened or not.

Stating the thesis then (repeatedly) re-stating it with a (very) slightly different wording was a red flag. Professional journalists don't write like that, but AI and schoolkids trying to pad out their essays do. I'm guessing tha

Agreed, OP has seen too many movies. Other suspicious things (some of which suggest a longer-brewing confrontation): - The "hint of a Russian accent" that Zac supposedly put on (but nobody except Shamji ever noticed) - How quickl

No surprise, since it's how U.S. military spending has worked for our entire lives. Military: "We need $x to build something so secret we can't tell you what it is." Lawmaker: "Add a few more zeros, put at least $y

Free version of TextWrangler was the sweet spot, for me. BBEdit is more than I need for day-to-day and seems comparatively slow. Not an "upgrade" I wanted.

Because router vendors need some kind of "secret sauce" in order to keep selling routers, otherwise the whole thing becomes a commodity you can buy from anywhere. This is also why OpenWRT is unable to utilize all the features on

That was my first thought. Shut down voluntarily in 2019 for no particular reason after 22 years? Mysteriously back and even better? Doesn't pass the smell test. The page talks a big game about hating criminals, but these days if yo

Thanks, but the post you linked is making me irrationally angry. Why does a gas pump card reader need full internet connectivity?! It's outrageous! Just use the two wires to talk to a head unit in the building! Then it brings up th

That switch from their own webmail solution to Microsoft a year or two ago was the final straw for me and the single domain I still had with GoDaddy. If I had wanted to use MS email I would have been using it already. Transferred to Gandi
