  1. Not according to the article.
  2. If one assumes that those 3M strips are authentic branding... I haven't come across a single tape that offered the expected brand quality.
  3. Re: specific tools staying outlawed even after this win: What about offering a tool for some legit purpose, but it just happens to be the right tool that can be used to repair the protected item?
  4. This site simply rewords the original SF Standard article with zero additional news or insight.
  5. Absolutely my experience as well... Plus your vendor options are reduced since the location has to be somewhere within driving distance for you, or your "caretaker" so that you can replace that flatlined drive with a new one without significant downtime.
  6. Damn, I thought a surprisingly early new season was up. Turns out the article is from last November…
  7. This was a really good story and reminded me of my younger days in the '80s when my cassette deck and Walkman were in constant use. Thanks for sharing...
  8. And still starting at 8GB of RAM… Disappointed.
  9. I don’t agree at all with the arguments here. Terraform is so widely adopted that it has become a basic, almost built-in component of every cloud ecosystem. Hashicorp would have been better off by treating it as a Trojan horse into enterprises and focusing on its other assets. I expect there will be a newcomer that will take advantage of this mishap and we’ll be talking about their solution next year (unless OpenTF manages to win people over).
  10. > Science belongs to everyone, regardless of culture or religion

    You might want to reassess where you stand if you truly believe that. All I see is the decline of the scientific organizations (including universities where people are granted PhDs based on their political connections), the explicit desire to separate girls from boys in schools, spending many times more on ministry of religion vs ministry of education, and pro-government scientists making ridiculous claims like “cellphone use at the time of Noah”[0].

  11. > > Turkey is not a muslim turkic nation at all It's a predominantly islamic turkish speaking nation. You say 'almost all the population claims to be muslim' and say it's not a muslim nation?

    Until recently, people used to bring up a widely known joke about “Turks being muslim one month of the year”. You knew Ramadan was starting when the daily papers switched from news stories containing sexy pictures to giveaways of holy texts.

    It’s less so these days since many people expect to gain political (= economic) favors through superfluous displays of their muslim faith, usually broadcasted through Instagram.

  12. I thought they were already working with a very slim headcount? How the heck did they get to 2,000 employees?
  13. So many pages were the same unchanged ads in the Shopper every month. Can't you add in some prefiltering for those to reduce the number of pages actually needed to scan? (Sorry for hijacking the thread...)
  14. Thanks. It’s important to be very much aware of this when being enticed by the promise of unlimited bandwidth.
  15. That was exactly it… Plus their clumsy rebranding over and over, changing licensing terms that stopped non-enterprise users from adopting, and the CS educators adopting Java and dropping Pascal… They tried to use Delphi as a cash cow when they needed innovation…
  16. This is cooler than ChatGPT and image generation as far as I'm concerned. If they're able to bring out the emotional connectivity and purposefulness of the human voice, it will be revolutionary...
  17. I won the first puzzle in 4 guesses, but had a tough time understanding the rules. I think some more clarification/simplification is in order. For example, it took me a minute to understand the colors represented gold/silver/bronze...
  18. It's irrelevant if there will be people who refuse to trust these sources, as long as they can establish a pedigree by continuously providing accurate information. If info from one node can be invalidated by other trusted sources after its original reporting (by publishing the facts after the dust cloud clears), the node will have the incentive to stick to the truth.
  19. That's actually a pretty helpful idea, and I think a number of creative solutions can be tried to determine which one of them would stick. I'm thinking it could even fund itself and finance investigative or scientific work (at some future adoption point).
  20. Without going through the specific government requirements (functional/security/accessibility/performance/compliance/compatibility/...) none of the back-of-the-envelope calculations will be realistic. I hope you understand that.
  21. This article confirms my insight that good programmers, especially those working in security, need to have a dose of OCD in them to be successful. ;-)
  22. A couple of data points of relevance:

    * Axios revenue for 2022 projected to be $100 million, up from $85M in 2021

    * WP revenue in 2012, last year before its sale was $4.01 billion, down from $4.13B of prior year. However, this includes all WP Co. properties, not just the newspaper.

    * Axios staff: ~60. WP staff: ~3,000

  23. Guess you didn't watch the viral video of the guy on skates with a drink in his hand, listening to Fleetwood Mac...
  24. They've literally done that though -- look at all the on-paper profits that have disappeared from the crypto, stock, real estate markets... Look also at the fact that you've already started paying more $ for the same essential products and don't expect them to go below today's levels...
  25. Looked good until I saw the 300 nits for display brightness. Not enough for a machine at this price...
  26. DocuSign actually offers an integrated CLM product, built on top of a smaller company they acquired a while back. With everything also integrated with Salesforce, etc., it makes automation pretty easy.
  27. I was about to post "very impressive", but that seems a huge understatement after finding out she's still in school...
  28. I’ve also started to consider FEIT as a higher quality brand. My house came with Philips LED bulbs, and over the last two years every one of them burned out before their promised EOL dates. All FEIT replacements have been working as expected so far.
  29. Could you paste again as text links? Thanks.
  30. Cool idea… I made it from MAIZE to BODED in 8 attempts.
