How does that help?

We’re talking about it

Are ransom attacks on the rise in recent months? Any sites that track these sort of things?

They of course me c-level executives, not us plebians who do actual work.

That’s the point though, right? It’s all publicity. They don’t want to give it to someone who may actually use it. Give it to the billionaire who will never use it so.

a couple of owners decided to race their trucks

in this rather unscientific race

Did you even read the article? The author was very upfront about the context.

You’re the type of person that wants everyone to min/max everything and say “yeah but if this had happened” or “if they had done this differently”

Get down off your soapbox and appreciate this for what it was: two owners having a fun race for bragging rights. And if Ford comes out in a better light from it than Tesla, that’s not circle jerking over a brand, it’s just another anecdote to pile on top of all of the other stories about how piss poor the Cybertruck is at being an actual truck.

Tesla has branded it as a truck. As a layman who isn’t a Tesla simp or a motorhead, I would expect a comparison with other popular trucks if I were interested in learning more about it.

Between this and the study of whale language, are we on the precipice of actually being able to have a rudimentary conversation with another intelligent species on the planet?

They do indeed have more protein. The conclusion that it’s for them to fall slower seems to be just a hypothesis

Video game addiction ironically doesn’t affect the teenager.

Oof

This person did a good write up of this claim

Ignoring the question about whether the cost is reasonable, it’s going to be interesting to see what happens to gas stations / convenience stores when the ability to charge your car is basically everywhere.

The only reason we need gas stations is for the specialized infrastructure required to safely hold the fuel. Mass EV adoption is going to kill their business model.

It’s funny how hard it is for providers to get this concept. I feel we’re about to enter the cycle where we see an uptick in mainstream piracy because the price is starting to outweigh the convenience and legality.

The healthcare industry has as much incentive as the financial industry to maintain a high security environment. Fines for exposing PHI can be astronomical if a large number of records are compromised.

This is a new cold war that we’ve been in for a while now. Government backed hacker groups from foreign nations are constantly targeting high profile organizations. Healthcare, Finance, and Government are three of the top targets.

This is still news worthy, but not “Front page” news worthy. Back in the newspaper days this would be sent to the back of the paper.

Alien hand syndrome makes me believe this. Usually occurs when something traumatic happens to the brain. The way it’s described seems like the dominant consciousness losing control of that motor function to the lesser consciousness.

What a wonderful rabbit hole to go down. My takeaways are it could possibly be used for knitting, but traditional spool knitting that the Grandma uses in the video doesn’t show up in history until the 1500s. If the Romans did use it for gloves then knitting has been around much longer than we have evidence of or they were using a different method with the dodecahedron.

Jesse Plemons character in one of the Fargo seasons did this.

I’m struggling to think of any legitimate use cases that actually benefit society. I can only think of nefarious uses for this technology.

I know Hollywood is interested in it for maintaining the legacy of iconic voices in established IPs like James Earl Jones in Star Wars, but I don’t think that benefits society overall. It is neat to potentially have his voice show up in future projects, but that feels like more of a gimmick to justify the technology rather than an actual need.
