It's impressive that you have evaluated 20k+ instances to summarize the Fediverse. I have accounts on 5 separate Mastodon instances, and on none of them is the experience as you describe it. You also seem to believe that if you get on

I'm pretty sure the Navy also knows what was causing the "banging" heard underwater during the search. I don't understand the point of leaking this information now, it just makes it look like the Coast Guard spent 3 days

Show me the list of billionaires jailed that aren't in prison because of some more powerful billionaire strongman that they were foolish enough to cross.

Relative to what? It currently has ~1.2M monthly active users, or less than 0.5% of Twitter. It's probably 20x the active user base of IRC.

What sort of move is lying from the point of view of business ethics?

Standard VC play, right? Especially if you are trying to pump some grift, blow it up to the paper $1B valuation so WSJ will write a breathless article on the new unicorn and fake it until they exit it.

I don't think this will work on those TikTok links though?

This gets really spicy when it can be adapted to run realtime so you can map a face on a Teams call, etc. and combine with voice mapping so you can seamlessly impersonate someone for those "It's me" extortion calls to grandma

Kind of devoid of any details, what radionuclides does it actually work on? Same set as DTPA? And how do you trial this? Contaminating subjects with plutonium would seemingly violate ethics guidelines.

One of my first jobs 30+ years ago was ESD testing automotive and consumer electronics. I would spend a week with a discharge gun methodically running different discharge energies and waveforms both directly onto the devices as well as onto

You obviously weren't on Twitter in the early days of the Failwhale and "Twitter will never scale." In fact, the original Ruby implementation didn't scale and was eventually discarded. The same thing will happen with Mas

It's a gloomy forecast if you're a hype cycle grifter or some rando looking to become a platform influencer. Now you have to find some other bandwagon to climb on.

Firefox determined that it was little used. Jon Tetzchner never removes anything, Vivaldi has an embedded side-scroller game and integration with Hue bulbs (-_-). I use the Tab Tiling feature in Vivaldi heavily, it is unique to that browser

It's more like having a contest that issues a prize to the person that hired the best artist to create a work. I guess it's as valid as any other arbitrary competition; we issue prizes to the owner of the fastest horse in a race

That MRI would probably bill out at >US$ 1000 in most urban areas in the US. I've been billed $300 for a simple shoulder X-ray. The real kicker is that you generally can't even find out this price until you have the procedure a

Yes, and I've noticed that Apple's Weather app is *even worse* on that front. The regional radar views rarely load for me.

It seems that there is actually (C) somewhere in there, which would be "apply some judgement" i.e. look at the source, and maybe (D) let someone else on HN bite on it and get a synopsis there.

I just wish it used the uMatrix UI, which I think was easier to parse, at the cost of much more space of course. But I have plenty of room on my desktop display.
