Devil’s advocate: You can get an island for pretty cheap if you don’t care about amenities. Like, a chunk of inhospitable land on Lake Michigan that can only be accessed by Kayak during the warm months is in tech bro territory.

My work pays me a stipend if I stay on one of the big three since they have SLAs with them, so it’s hard to beat the price. $20 for 50 GB 5G is my out of pocket because I wanted to put my AppleWatch on the plan.

I’m getting my phone on a loan at 0%. If I want to switch carriers, then I’ll pay off the rest of the cost of my phone and they unlock it for me, but considering we’ve been running rather insane inflation over the last few years, I’m glad I made AT&T pick up that tab. I see no point in buying outright as I’m not changing carriers multiple times in a year.

They literally will do that. GDPR shows that they will go after big American companies (That’s the point, a huge chunk of this is protectionism to build a tech industry in the EU that they control)

I mean, the Linux lmza exploit was found by a Microsoft engineer. Just because dollars exchange hands doesn’t mean the data provided is invalid.

Companies hire Jepsen to validate their code for example, and you’d be a damn fool not to accept their analysis.

Rossman has a vendetta against Apple ever since he got caught importing counterfeit batteries (You can’t slap the Apple logo on batteries that Apple did not make, even if you call them “refurbished”)

Steve Jobs loudly announced FaceTime would be made open source. Then they lost a patent lawsuit against https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-20236114

Apple paid up and could keep using the patent, but could not just let anyone else use the tech they developed as it now needed a non-open license.

Apple wanted to open source FaceTime and destroy Skype. They got sued and were not allowed to open source their protocols. It’s real dumb that Apple didn’t get to drive the standards there.

Yep, Trump’s campaign figured out how to game Reddit’s algorithm. Sticky a post and essentially tell anyone in the subreddit to upvote any stickied post on any visit which would quickly drive the stickied post to the top of all quickly.

I mean, does writing in Python rather than C free up your mind? It’s just another abstraction tradeoff.

Cloudflare is publicly traded. They had $1.6 billion in cash or equivalents in December. Maybe they want to grease up the quarter to show better growth against the market, but that is a fuckload of cash.

He did not get charged. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2018/11/22/fedex-driver-fatally-punches-back-after-racist-vitriol-oregon/2089320002/

Grapes and raisins are a different class. Alliums and chocolate are bad, sure, but if your dog has a bad reaction to grapes and really raisins, it can be 2-3 raisins cause kidney failure. They’re not quite sure about the mechanism, only that it doesn’t take much and isn’t an always thing.

Agar agar is a bit of a laxative, so I may suggest you find another thickening agent. I think the store you are looking for is a baking supply store for most weird flavorings and powders. Restaurant supply may also have aisles as well, though the good ones are harder to come by. If only the modernist pantry had a storefront.

Liquid eggs are pretty easy too: Just pasteurize the darn things with a sous vide machine. Hold them at 130 for a few hours.

The internet has that at least?

For egg whites, it’s not too bad to make them yourself with a dehydrator.

It’s “buttermilk” just add water, so I suspect there’s some dairy flavoring of some kind in there.

EDIT: Yea, it’s flour, sugar, a leavener, starch, salt, a bit of soybean oil, some dehydrated egg whites, and dehydrated buttermilk

This entire post is asinine. The root cause of Heartbleed was the RFC was fucked. A German graduate student wrote and implemented an RFC, and was then reviewed by the only full time (and paid) member of the OpenSSL team. Claiming it was because it wasn’t funded is stupid on its face as Dr. Henson was paid for his review.

XZ’s problem was that the maintainer had a mental breakdown and lacking structure to vet the replacement, he handed control off to what seems like a very sophisticated attack group. Money would not have fixed one of the fundamental problems with anarchistic-style code production, which is how do you trust the people who vet the code?

As much as you really fucking hate to hear it: Biden won both his primaries handedly. The only way Bernie had a shot is if they clowncarred it too long like the Republican nomination that led to Trump. The DNC did not drop the ball, the American voters chose Biden.

Yea, but the special edition with the HD textures is what is sold these days.
