It’ll be just like 2020: react after the damage is done and pretend they weren’t complicit.

“AI” is the new “blockchain”.

I want someone to project that map onto a globe to illustrate how ridiculous it was. The elegantly circular arcs of the north sides of those storms would look bizarrely teardrop-pinched, if I’m not mistaken.

Might have just found out about another?

Fuck is wrong with you?

Cleveland clinic says says about coffee’s laxative effect:

Researchers found that 29% of coffee drinkers report a desire to poop after drinking coffee. The feeling can come pretty quickly, too. (In as little as four minutes!)

And about lactose intolerance (same article):

An estimated 65% of people have some difficulty digesting lactose, which can lead to restroom runs. Lactose intolerance can cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal (GI) issues within 30 minutes of consumption.

At least they didn’t write “brand’s”, so there’s that.

It is ridiculous, but it’s also exactly what is happening with loud combustion engines. Any sound coming from it is just higher-entropy (i.e., unused) energy being produced and promptly lost instead of contributing to power.

“Incomplete paper and online applications will not be accepted,” Evans said in the statement. (Parker’s [demonstration] cancellation request would have lacked a driver’s license number.) The Secretary of State’s Office did not respond to individual questions about what testing the portal underwent before launch, the system’s security procedures, what happened to Parker’s cancellation request…

Yeah, that tells us we just don’t know if this was a problem after all. Evans’s statement basically claims it wasn’t a vulnerability. If that’s correct, then the worst thing might be if someone’s browser tripped on the validation JS and allowed them down a blind alley execution path. If the claim is correct and if the page’s JS never shits the bed, then in that case the only negative outcome would be someone dicking with the in-browser source could lead themselves down the blind alley, in which case who cares. The only terrible outcome seems like it would be if the claim is incorrect–i.e. if an incomplete application submission would be processed, thus allowing exploit.

Short of an internal audit, there’s no smoking gun here.

Mine used to do this with roaches. Not even kidding.

Source code escrow is a thing, too. I’ve only seen it in the context of (as I understood it) protection against going out of business, but perhaps it could apply to discontinued products, as well?

I think quesadillas are where corn tortillas really shine. Be sure to soften the tortillas with a little butter in the skillet. I’ve always used jack cheese for these.

I hope this doesn’t just dissolve into hand-waving and general dismissal based on “he said / she said”. Someone call the bluff and let’s see the cards face-up.

Do I upvote or downvote this? What does that cat want from us?

I hope they keep pursuing this inquiry:

At the time of writing, it is unclear whether these virtual impersonations resulted in any criminal investigations or charges against US-based victims whose IP addresses were hijacked as part of the 911 S5 botnet. WIRED is awaiting a response from the Department of Justice regarding this concern.

Ok, so boiled first, then… does that count as pickled? Or maybe that’s a lower salt ratio than pickling so it can ferment?

I’m surprised that looks so appetizing. Coloring can change expectation of flavor (so I’m not a fan of Halloween colored food), but this is beautiful use of natural coloring with beets.

Hot take? This should have been a major version update.
