Yeah, well I am guessing he wasn’t talking to Putin about electric cars or Twitter.

Starlink + Twitter = propaganda mills deliver him Ukraine

How he launches those satellites has nothing to do with our exchange unless I missed something.

I’m simply pointing out that any platform to influence public opinion and dialogue is likely of great interest to Russia. That’s kinda their schtick

Edit: but yes I absolutely think it’s absurd that they didn’t pull his clearance and sanction him both directly and indirectly. It’s just that Twitter gives Putin an edge in having Trump elected, in which case Trump extracts retribution for ‘being caught’ by witholding Ukraine funding in an attempt to gather intel on Biden. If Trump wins he’s gonna want nothing more than to see Ukraine crushed. Putin wants Ukraine and it’s a very easy opportunity

No one at Chase:

Me: Why the fuck is your maximum deposit for a check in excess of 300,000 dollars? Do people routinely decide to deposit such an instrument at an ATM?

Should not have divulged that, now they’re gonna go in with Rit dye and bleach and shit

I’m talking more like, which line of trees has the jammer and the shantys behind it

It’s a sign of desperation if anything. They have no experience with drones and don’t speak Russian. They’ll hightail back to the last place they felt safe. Russia may as well doodle on a bunch of maps and hand them over

There’s a lot that just vanish into the ether when someone doesn’t renew their little abandonware site they built and forgot about a decade ago. Maybe not the big names like Might & Magic, but the smaller titles most people have never heard of. Shit’s a bummer if the Internet Archive doesn’t get to it because then it probably only exists on a dozen 3.5" floppys in random desks that haven’t been cleaned out

Even the Russians are pissed and I don’t blame them. Language barrier, equipment, and 3 senior officers per 30 soldiers (that’s like photo op noncombat propaganda-level ineptitude, gotta have lots of people with lots of medals strutting around). Imagine joining a Mexican cartel in the middle of a shootout and not knowing a lick of Spanish. How fast can I just duck out?

I can see why the ESA would want to defend IP but it should sadden everyone that they’re basically taking thousands upon thousands of titles of abandonware hostage in order to protect a couple hundred that might possibly have some value on the Playstation or Nintendo store or as a bundle on PC at some point in the future.

I used to download abandonware from the mid 80s, monochrome CRPG type stuff, back in the late 90s. Kinda bummed that most of them are probably just gone at this point. CRPG and blobbers, bygone era.

Shame on the Entertainment Software Association, not giving a damn about software.

I wouldn’t wish dying from cancer upon anyone. Horrible stuff. That said, I hope it metastatizes to his intestines and kidneys and not his pancreas. Let’s pray. He can still live a long life on dialysis and with a cholostomy bag

“Our political party’s policies are so backwards only a middle school dropout can’t smell the bullshit and our fiscal policy is so fucked that we need to rely on scrounging up whatever federal subsidisies we can find, but we’re the victims here”

Proceeds to blow millions on a Trump bible contract

It’d be nice for there to be ‘halo software’ to raise market share, otherwise I think it’s circling the drain, suffering from the same feedback loop as SLI. It’s niche, so developers aren’t exactly clamoring to port things or make new offerings for it, which leaves consumers with less incentive to buy the hardware, which leaves developers with even less reason to touch it. Would Nintendo be in the console business if not for Zelda, Mario, and Tetris? Hard to tell

Nobody will use this math in our lifetime.

That’s a presumption. Have you ever considered that there’s a non-zero chance that you’re wrong?

Does it need to? Does anything need to? I’d argue that humans toying with the novelty of ‘seemingly useless’ things has enriched humanity by a whole lot. Archmedes basically dicking around doing fuck all in that shed of his instead of growing crops

I’m not even understanding what AI is at this point because there’s no delineation between moderately sophisticated algorithms and things that are orders of magnitude more complex.

I mean, if something like multisampling came out today we’d all know how it’d be marketed

I just moved and wound up getting an LG C4 65", put off getting internet service, TV worked fine

I’m not in software but from what I read the importer sends a request and that request is used by the exporter and importer to encrypt and decrypt, so I think there’s a way to tweak the whole process a little and instead have both the exporter and importer ask Netflix or whoever to provide a key as opposed to using the request. Could be wrong tho

Other Trump supporters were heard shouting, “too soon!”

They behave exactly like black mold. They start coalescing in some adjacent space and suddenly BOOM. Online storefront, starts hosting its own servers, that becomes part of the business. Starts building out warehouses, that becomes part of the business. IoT things that run on their servers, then cameras, gobbles up Blink. They even had a pilot project for restaurant delivery, we’ll probably see that again once they can tie it into their parcel delivery fleet
