__m··on TinyVG: A challenger to the throne of vector graphics
That’s a bit revisionist history. Flash was pretty popular and animations haven’t gone away.
__m··on How the FBI Discovered a Real-Life Indiana Jones in Rural Indiana
Wow he survived an atomic bomb? Or just a regular thief? I don’t think we should idolize these people
__m··on Why Are Topre Keyboards So Expensive?
With those prices you will feel the difference, just like audiophiles hear the difference in a $1000 cable.
__m··on German state planning to switch 25,000 PCs to LibreOffice
I'm not familiar with linux development, what did that one german do?
__m··on How the U.S. hid an airstrike that killed dozens of civilians in Syria
Next you’ll tell us that Julian assange is on the payroll of the us military and the us is not going after him.
__m··on Microsoft Goes Deep on Java with JCP Membership
Is anything not related to azure for Microsoft these days?
__m··on SpinLaunch completes first test flight with rocket-flinging launch system
They ARE spinning a rocket
__m··on FBI raids researcher who discovered private patient data on public server (2016)
This sounds more like the American model. In Germany for example the SEK was formed after SWAT, in response to a terror attack in Munich. Unless there is some serious crime, where guns are involved, the judge won’t send a special unit. Pictures of guns drawn on unarmed people seem to be mostly coming from the US.

At least they go after people that access their FTP without permission, so it not like they don’t care at all about security /s
__m··on Internet Object – A JSON alternative data serialization format
How do you have an array with different types of objects? You either have to repeat the schema or have to reference the schema.
__m··on Message from cycling heaven: it’s not that fantastic here
i lived in Amsterdam for 3 days and noticed places where they are on the same level. Are you sure you were paying attention?
__m··on Message from cycling heaven: it’s not that fantastic here
Ironically they complain when they have to share the road with those inconsiderate car drivers.
__m··on EU scientists reveal long-term brain damage caused by Covid
At least to people who die from Covid. The article mentions that they would need to take blood samples every 10 minutes for a week, to find out.
__m··on Elizabeth Holmes is on trial for fraud, but don't forget about her VC enablers
yeah but not in an established field by a college dropout. The whole pitch was ridiculous. We do all the tests with only one machine and we make the machine a lot smaller, oh and we do it with just a fraction of the blood.
__m··on Tesla Q3 2021 Earnings
those comments were made after Tesla ran into problems with their consumer grade displays. Running into parked emergency vehicles also went up without radar.
__m··on Elon Musk invited to a video call into Volkswagen executive conference
That would be a brilliant move. Elon's expertise in defying covid rules would keep the factory running.
__m··on Dubai ruler hacked ex-wife using NSO Pegasus spyware, high court judge finds
Considered that he imprisoned one of his daughters and threatened her with death, it’s fair to think about literal hacking
__m··on U.S. to open program to replace Huawei equipment in U.S. networks
Still sounds better than killing hundreds of thousands of them in the Middle East.
__m··on Tesla is ordered to turn over Autopilot data to a federal safety agency
I never crashed into a stationary vehicle or had a crash. I want a FSD vehicle to be at least as safe as me, not some bad or drunken driver, that's what FSD should be measured against.
__m··on China has forbidden under-18s from playing games for more than three hours/week
What is the money for?
__m··on Baby Shark Born in All-Female Tank Could Be the First 'Virgin Birth' for Species
let's hope they don't start a religion
__m··on 88-year-old prof resigns mid-class when student refuses to wear mask
No, but that’s not what happened here.
__m··on Google’s new ad goes full Jony Ive on the Pixel 5A headphone jack
Like everybody couldn’t live without a floppy or dvd drive some years ago. Some people are just slow to adapt.
__m··on Google’s new ad goes full Jony Ive on the Pixel 5A headphone jack
Sweet, can’t wait for that floppy drive on the chromebook
__m··on China schools: 'Xi Jinping Thought' introduced into curriculum
Still less creepy than the pledge of allegiance
__m··on John Carmack visits Starbase
Musk isn't an engineer
__m··on Tesla Announces a Humanoid Robot “Tesla Bot”
Plus there isn’t enough space for 40 people, real number will probably be below 20
__m··on Tesla: Artificial Intelligence and Autopilot
Stereovision is basically monovision at a distance of 6 feet iirc, the depth is inferred from cues like light, size, shape.
__m··on China Propaganda Network Targets BBC Media, UK in Large-Scale Influence Campaign
Yeah we need to censor Chinese media to not report on bbc propaganda. They are supposed to manufacture our stuff and not voice their opinion.
__m··on Blue Origin Sues NASA over Lunar Lander Contract Given to Rival SpaceX
Right out the spacex playbook. Remember when they sued the air force?
