It's funny because this is exactly my first experience with Linux in the 90s

Technically, the President could very easily make gas prices go up. But that would require quite extraordinary means. Going down is a bit tougher.

It does have rate limiting

It's puzzling how human intervention isn't used to prevent such a simple but unrealistic correlation.

Well they certainly shouldn't be climbing on roofs drunk.

The Cookie Monster ads used to trigger my GF's Siri with "Hey Siri". I couldn't with my normal voice, but when I impersonated Cookie Monster it worked.

I like the concept, but it would probably be better to have some sort of cryptographic solutions, where the public key and permissions are stored in the DNS entry and the private key is used to generate a signature so the service can validate.

Actually they'd also get annoyed if everyone just used something like this for themselves. They want to control your experience. And as usual, remember you are not the customer, you are the product.

It's like how physical manufacturing will choose to save a few pennies on a part reducing the overall cost per unit, saving themselves millions at the expense of the actual quality. It's fine when you do it with one or two part, but when you do it with all the parts, you're just creating a crap product.

This looks very interesting, I have recently tried using auth0 and was so horribly disappointed with how you go from 0 to enterprise as soon as you need any modern security feature. Plus I had assumed that they had a mature product, but is chaotic and difficult to know what you are doing for even the simplest use cases.

And what's worse than all of that, is if a company tries to do it for you.

The video nails it for my reasoning. There are too many other large cars on the road, so a normal sized car can't see well enough and is less safe.

Oddly /r/ProgrammerHumor and comments are often is more interesting and informative than most of the other serious subreddits.

> he jokes he should only leave his house “with personal security guards, like Salman Rushdie”

Given what I know of Italian food culture, this is only slight exaggeration.

Heard a pretty good interview with this author https://modernistcuisine.com/books/modernist-pizza/

Google Wave?

That was exciting

You perceive these as bribes, but you can also perceive them as exactly what they are called. Political Action Committees, a group of people/companies who have a common political purpose, spending money towards that goal.

A phone tree round robin.

> It sounds like

modern blogger parlance for "someone on the internet said this."

I wondered why I kept getting blocked. I accidentally open dev tools all the time

> There's no reason for this to be user defined

I disagree because reading is just one use case. Sometimes longer lines make it easier to skim because you aren't needing to read everything, just letting your brain pattern match as you move along. In that case it can be better to fit more blocks of text in the viewport.

Because it wasn't a big deal but someone out there wants to take attention away from something else.

My guess

Still blows my mind that news is just plural for new. I hate it so much, perhaps irrationally.

What they should have done is used Google Reader to farm data from power users to then feed other products

I miss the leisure of just clicking a button to flag "hey look at this" and having a backlog queue of things by friends also thought was interesting. Nothing has really come around and recreated that simplicity and UX.

A handful of people can do immense damage to many things.

I agree, fine/prosecute everyone from top to bottom. But you would need to prove that Grindr wasn't doing it's due diligence. (That probably wouldn't be too hard)

I would assume that any data sales have some sort of written agreement for what the data will be used for. In this case it would be that the people who signed the agreement lied.

I, for one, am not one of those. I was never a "fan boy", but I certainly held Musk in esteem. That went away during his obvious decent into narcissistic madness over the last ~5 years.

I got the impression they were joking about those trying to change the cocktail in some misguided hipster effort.
