NewLogic··on TikTok says it is restoring service for U.S. users
America spoke and said they wanted it, what more is there to be said? If there was marching in the streets, it would be torn to shreds by the online grift sphere.
NewLogic··on Cats are (almost) liquid
You can buy plush neck donuts which do the same thing, my cat lasted one day with a cone before I felt too bad and same day delivered one.
NewLogic··on Google fires 28 employees involved in sit-in protest over $1.2B Israel contract
Except for when they are bombing the shit out of the aid workers. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-04/gaza-aid-convoy-air-s...
NewLogic··on Breakthrough in 'detonating' hypersonic propulsion
I haven't ran the numbers or anything but I would assume supplying the high PSI oxygen for a long burn duration would be a considerable engineering challenge. You would need a system to jump start with bottled oxygen and then a heat exchanger in the combustion chamber to gasify LOX once stable detonation is reached. It is likely New Space companies have run the numbers on engine weight versus a contemporary staged combustion engine and found it to be little to no efficiency gain.
NewLogic··on Jimmy Buffett has died
Just after Ted Nivison and Eddy Burback visited all 22 NA Margaritaville locations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bsb9T1g5nlE
NewLogic··on It’s not only NY, LA, San Francisco. Retail crime has hit Kansas metropolis
Seems more like a distraction from the real issue and evidence of the connection between retail crime and poverty. Nobody has the political courage to call out the suppression of the American middle class as the defining factor.
NewLogic··on Windows Update Restored: Fix Windows update on Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, and XP
On the contrary, Linus of LTT managed to uninstall the GUI of his PopOS install within an hour while attempting to install Steam only last year. https://youtu.be/0506yDSgU7M?t=618
NewLogic··on How the relentless drive for optimization made baseball impossible to watch
Hard disagree on stat people coming for cricket, you pretty much have a third agent in the game (the pitch). It can change so much from field to field and the weather can also have a big impact for long form. Pretty much impossible to optimise a team aside from chucking in an extra spin bowler in India.
NewLogic··on OpenAI is now everything it promised not to be: closed-source and for-profit
That is marketing spin, his offer was freely licencing their patents in exchange for free usage from other big automakers which he knew would never happen.
NewLogic··on The Twitter Files
Wait until everyone hears about ITAR restrictions...
NewLogic··on The Twitter Files
He is the direct line now, that's what he paid 44billion for.
NewLogic··on Twitter is planning to start charging $20 per month for verification
The answers is because software developers have leverage to improve their working conditions. The answer is to reduce exploitation in other industries not increase it for FAANG company staff...
NewLogic··on "The Social Network" synth sounds
I came here to post this exact same fun fact. Had some fun listening to all of the Ghosts collection when I learnt that.
NewLogic··on "The Social Network" synth sounds
The Gone Girl soundtrack is probably their most similar score. Bit more downbeat and slow but still very good.
NewLogic··on Core US Inflation Rises to 40-Year High, Securing Big Fed Hike
Remember everyone at the Fed who refused to raise rates last year and hand waved inflation as transitory still has their job. They only started accepting inflation as real after introducing stock trading transparency rules which forced many to start unwinding their personal portfolios [1].

NewLogic··on SPACs are warning they may go bust
I generally think Rocket Lab will be a successful SPAC story (eventually). They are so far ahead of the remaining small sat launch market that they while rise to meet SpaceX and Blue Origin in the reusable launcher market.
NewLogic··on Netflix cracks down on password sharing, but early efforts in Peru are a mess
Exposure and relevance in pop culture, once people stop talking about your content you're done.
NewLogic··on US consumer prices soared 7% in past year, most since 1982
The top 10% of individuals own a record 89% percent of all the stocks [1]. Using never before seen measures to support the US bond market and at one stage buy individual corporate bonds has created a market in which participants believe they will always be back stopped by the Fed. Hell they are still doing 60 billion of monthly bond purchases (extreme monetary policy) [2] when inflation is printing multi decade highs. I have seen it quoted that in order to repair the Fed balance sheet by "running off" their purchases it will take them close to 30 years of continued "tightening". This is the new normal for centrally planned economic policy in the US, socialising losses to the government balance sheet. [1] https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/18/the-wealthiest-10percent-of-...

NewLogic··on US consumer prices soared 7% in past year, most since 1982
This pandemic has crushed the middle class to prop up asset holders and wallstreet. Tense times ahead.
NewLogic··on Intel is reducing server chip pricing in attempt to stem the AMD tide
The US taxpayer will backstop Intel no matter what, purely because of the fab business.
NewLogic··on The rich get richer and rates get lower
This time the banks have learnt the govs of the world aren't willing to let anyone go under, so have been making out like bandits lending out cheap money.
NewLogic··on As cargo shipments boom, ship strikes imperil whales worldwide
I do wonder if the world will "re-invent" ekranoplans so to speak. Improvements in engineering design, tooling and material science could make them economically viable in a niche of the global economy. The youtuber Mustard [1] has a great video on the mad ideas of Italian born Soviet engineer Robert Bartini. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD7xiWWs-bs
NewLogic··on Apple Has Opened the Backdoor to Increased Surveillance and Censorship
Not to worry that is just the "terrorist" hashes
NewLogic··on Apple’s Mistake
This is classic what-aboutism, yes they are both equally bad scenarios. Apple is just one-step closer with capability already deployed.
NewLogic··on New Leadership at Blizzard
Crazy Bobby is not even a billionaire considering how unethical his leadership methods are.
NewLogic··on ISS loses attitude control after Nauka module docking

Auto pilot full self driving is fraudulent and been coming next year for half a decade.
NewLogic··on Steve Wozniak backs right-to-repair movement
Tim is a bean counter at heart and everything Apple has been marketing spin for decades.
NewLogic··on Fastly Outage
Even amazon.com styling is borked for me
NewLogic··on Ignoring Docker updates is a paid feature now?
Wow docker company has so little goodwill left to erode. Truly rock bottom.
