The EU gave Google an option: pay or take down the content. The latter option was a bluff, and Google called them on it.
I don’t think this will hurt Google at all.
But it will certainly drive less traffic to these news sites if they are banned from Google. And that will hurt the news sites.
EU: You have to pay to show our news.
Google: Ok. We won’t show your news.
EU: Pikachu face
I mean, they don’t have to release the source code. A compiled version would be fine.
it’s unrealistic to assume it would exist forever.
Older multiplayer games would let you self-host the server, long before the current trend.
Ubisoft doesn’t have to continue to host servers. They just have to release the server code. Zero cost to them.
It won’t
What could Twitter possibly offer to make me switch banks?
What could Twitter possibly offer to make me switch brokers?
What could Twitter possibly offer to make me switch from Venmo and PayPal?
Which Americans are not in a similar position?
X Payments is doomed to fail. He missed the boat. The market is already saturated, and they’ve lost all brand loyalty.
And were they any good?
My car runs Android Automotive^1 on an Intel Atom and performance is trash. I would hate to have a phone on the same platform.
^1 As in, the car runs Android directly, not Android Auto running from a phone.
What are you going on about? Have you ever ridden in one of these?
They do have these buttons…
I see. Yeah, obviously the world only has 3 spatial dimensions, so you can’t represent 4D data spatially.
My general point is that we have additional senses that we can use to represent additional dimensions. And that totally counts as “visualization”.
And it is not possible to “visualize 4D”
Sure it is.
And that’s not even counting projection. All the time we interact with 3D data that’s projected to 2D (almost every photo you’ve ever looked at). There are similar ways to project 4D to 2D.
(Not defending the video or anything, just pointing out that visualizing higher dimensions is something we know about for ages.)
I think the reason Zealandia is called a “submerged continent” is because it is made of continental crust rather than oceanic crust.
But IMO the best geologic definition of continents is by tectonic plates, which mostly matches up with the cultural definitions of the continents.
For the major continents, we have these plates:
There are several smaller plates too, like the Caribbean, Indian, and Arabian plates. IMO, we should consider these independent continents.
There is also a dedicated Pacific plate. The ring of fire is the border of this plate.
New Zealand / Zealandia is on the ring of fire. Half on the Australian plate, half on the Pacific plate. You can actually see the border of the two plates when you look at the topographical map of Zealandia.
You’re using the New York Times to support the idea that the New York Times didn’t support the war.
What do you think could be an issue with using that evidence?
Nothing? It’s literally the primary source.
Did NYT support the war? Let’s look at the opinion pieces they published about the war.
Yeah, I think so.
At first, Xockets sounded like a legit tech company to me. But a closer look at their website reveals that it’s actually run by a bunch of patent attorneys.
I saw it at the MoMA in NYC. The thing is tiny…
Where I work, everything is on IPv6. Both the infrastructure for the software services that we run, and our own internal corporate network.
My ISP also provides publicly routable IPv6 prefixes over DHCP. Any layman in my city with this ISP will be on IPv6 by default.
I also use IPv6 for my LAN.
Like, it’s just kind of the default in my neck of the woods…
[S]hareholders said they learned that CrowdStrike’s assurances about its technology were materially false and misleading when a flawed software update disrupted airlines, banks, hospitals and emergency lines around the world.
I don’t see how they can make this argument.
Falcon is a kernel module. When kernel modules fuck up, you get kernel panics.
Sure, the layperson may not know enough about computers to recognize this, but it’s a basic enough fact about operating systems that an investor in a company like this should take the time to learn. It’s not like they hid that fact.
If you invested in a company without knowing how their product works, that’s on you.
Tell me you’ve never worked on a farm without telling me that you’ve never worked on a farm.
The thumbnail photo is extreme, yes. But white farm workers still get sunburns.
TIL. Thanks for the correction.
\1. Many retro games were made for CRT TVs at 480p. Updating the graphics stack modern TVs is valuable, even if nothing else is changed.
\2. All of my old consoles only have analog A/V outputs. And my TV only has one analog A/V input. The mess of adapter cables and swapping is annoying. I want the convenience of playing on a system that I already have plugged in.
\3. I don’t even still have some of the consoles that play my favorite classic games, and getting retro hardware is sometimes difficult. Especially things like N64 controllers with good joysticks.
Studios don’t need to do a full blown remake to solve these problems. But I’m also not going to say the Crash and Spyro remakes weren’t welcome. Nintendo’s Virtual Console emulators toe this line pretty well.
But studios should still put in effort to make these classic games more accessible to modern audiences, and if that means a remake, that’s fine with me.
(I’m mostly thinking about the GameCube/PS2 generation and earlier. I don’t see much value in remakes of the Wii/PS3 generation yet.)
To be clear, the right of free speech given in the first amendment is the right to express any opinion without fear of repercussions.
There is no inherent right that your opinions must be given a platform, or that any particular platform has the right to exist.
The first amendment is entirely orthogonal to the question of whether or not TikTok should be allowed to operate in the US.
