Independent foundries want to sell typefaces with reasonable royalty shares. Customers want trusted marketplaces (i.e. ones where scammers aren't reselling fonts they've pirated) where they can purchase high quality fonts with rea

I’m guessing a lot of customers are being tardy in paying tariffs, leaving DHL to deal with packages that won’t clear customs. Probably a much bigger issue for B2C shipments than B2B shipments.

It could have made up entries added to authentic ones, but if you know someone who has applied to NYU in the past few decades you can easily verify its authenticity by asking if their data is accurate. (Names were supposed to be redacted by

What is unethical about giving the majority of voters what they asked for?

Yeah but then that only contributes to the GDP of Ireland, not the US. Not coincidentally, Ireland has one of the highest GDP per capita in the world.

The deinverting isn’t so much due to the Fed injecting money as it is an anticipation the Fed will inject money by cutting rates in the coming future. The 2 year yield drops in anticipation of the Fed dropping interest rates in the next cou

GDP itself is a mathematical model too - just a much more sophisticated one which utilizes more data.

I haven't been able to find any documentation of this, other than "we acquired Anonym, which claims to send the data to trusted execution environments".

When did tech people decided to turn into straight up comic book villains?

by ummonk 2y ago
It's the opposite - it's a PR stunt to try to keep Sam Altman from discounting OpenAI even further and selling it to himself at a laughably low price.

Huh? The new BART cars sound as screechy as ever to me, much louder than the old diesel Caltrain, never mind the new electric Caltrain.

Yes, but as long as the journalists don't reshare the photos (or the content verbatim), they can't be traced back to you.

That would be too clear cut a war crime and would get the rest of the world to react rather harshly.

Yeah but the ADS-B transponder didn't know its own location because GPS was being jammed by the Russians to try to force the drones off course.

Assuming they have an established channel of communication, yes they would have, but imagine trying to communicate to them which blip on the radar screen is an actual civilian aircraft, and hoping they're able to track it and make sure
