Something tells me it was longer than 0.74 seconds. And typically the person that suffers the consequences of the lead car not paying attention is the cars further back sitting through another light cycle because you can’t put down candy crush while driving

Our company pays for TeamViewer, and I still get nagged all the time, so there’s no point in giving them money, they still nag you all the time.

Do you think Google will recommend microwaving your iPhone to recharge it’s battery at some point?

What if eat meat and just don’t have kids? Sounds like I get to be selfish and think about the environment at the same time

Public Service Broadcasting - Race To Space.

Go! (From the album)

The whole album is just them playing music to sound bytes from the space race era.

I wore shorts and flip flops to a grocery store in the dead of winter. Guy asked if I was cold, and I was like “I went from one climate controlled box into a drivable climate controlled box, and now I’m in this climate controlled box”

Yeah, things could go wrong like a car wreck or something where I get stuck outside for an extended period of time and would become uncomfortable. But it is what it is.

Well overall, using these techniques has probably resolved a ton of investigations where the leads ran out and it being an overall positive. I think it would still be better that DNA from these sources cannot be used in trial. So a DNA match can give you a new angle to find other elements, but the fact DNA was used to find a trail shouldn’t be admissable.

I guess the saying “better 100 guilty people go free rather than an innocent man should suffer” applies though.

My bias though is probably skewed through the media I consume. I do watch a lot of channels like Lackluster YouTube videos (shows corruption and double standards in policing). I do try to balance it out with channels like Code Blue Cam which does highlight good policing too, but I would say I have an inherent distrust with policing nowadays.

Well prosecutors and cops are incentivized to get arrests. Whether to pump numbers up for promotions or to use in campaigning. So it wouldn’t surprise me if cops turn a cold case into a witch hunt because some partial DNA match in a “private” database gave them a few suspects and then they start to build some case to fit the suspects.

Fen Research? What an odd company name for a game studio. I would expect a company name like that would be harvesting user data for something.

Isnt that how all social media sites start out. Starts with nerd culture and eventually other people come in later?

Verge article where the claim is due to ad blocker mitigation and not browser specific.

You said that you heard it was ad blocker related too. So the initial wave of reports about it being Firefox was inaccurate. Every article about it all sourced a singular reddit post. Just some social media “journalism”.

Anecdotally, which I understand is not a great measure, I didn’t experience this when it was first being reported on. But I pay for YouTube premium, so maybe that’s a difference too

This just sounds like another “Google is slowing down Firefox” thing where everyone’s source was a reddit post and didn’t even turn out to be accurate

I do think it’s important to mention that the jump to senior is largely an accumulation of domain knowledge,

I feel that. I’m a senior dev on my team of about 7 software engineers, but I often feel like I’d just be a junior somewhere else. Worst case scenario is I can add to my resume that I helped convert a vb6 shop to a c# shop, not sure what that’s worth though xD

I dunno, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t call it a vacuum. I know people who own Hoover’s and they still call it their vacuum.

On the website on a desktop, the shorts section has an X on the top right of its section. That should hide shorts for a few days. It says 30 days but I’m not convinced.

You can click the options on any video to say you aren’t interested in that video or that channel.

You can delete videos from your watch history if your algorithm gets tainted. Like my nephew was watching a bunch of train videos on my TV. So algo started sending me all these train recommendations. I just deleted them from my watch history and haven’t seen a train video since.

I have a pixel 8 that doesn’t have any issues, but I can read the title that says Google’s quality control is shit. So I can understand my phone is okay and other people have problems. Even if I bought 100 pixels, my sample size would still be too small to dismiss other people’s claims.

Funnily enough, this is my first comment I’ve made about how my pixel is fine. So now I’m part of the problem :3

That’s not a perfect use case for it. That’s a central authority (venue) selling tickets to anyone who wants to buy them. But instead of using a local database and approving transfers from person to person and losing the ability to reverse transactions due to fraud, it’s hosted in the wild west of crypto.

There’s nothing stopping a venue from offering your perfect use case in a centralized system, but they outsource it to Ticketmaster (namely because Ticketmaster owns like 80% of music venues or something) so they don’t have to deal with it.

Your scenario outsources it to the block chain, who will charge gas for the transactions instead of ticketmaster charging fees.

I don’t know the value in a decentralized IP rights system. If the key holder gets phished, you can lose your rights to a TV series you’ve been working on. (Like Seth Greene)

He wouldn’t have lost it and had to pay back the ransom in a traditional contract. Having a contract centralized and enforced by the legal system has many perks and I can’t ever see how a decentralized rights platform can enforce itself.
