“We have to punish you because of what those other people are doing to legitimately evade punishment” is only a useful argument if the punished group can somehow cover for those not affected.

New World Order formed sometime around 2013 didn’t they? At least that’s when they dropped their self-named album.

Personally, I’m more a fan of New Order.

I have to say… even with the Elon influence, I didn’t see that one coming. Ulbricht stole capital from the rich and enabled stuff including human trafficking considered evil by the religious right. But I guess he also stuck it to The Man, for which he is being rewarded.

That only works for a portion of the GOP. The rest are either “I’ve got mine, screw you” or “I’m a closet fascist” types though, neither of which is going to care one way or the other as long as the right people benefit and the right people are punished.

… and an entire continent away.

Ah; I assumed when reading the headline that it was the cryptocurrency holding company that was sued, because it competed with trumpcoin.

No responses? I recall quite a few, including mine?

Tortoises go faster the hotter they are; comes from having a cold blooded metabolism. So to make it faster, acclimate it to hotter environments as well as putting it on a muscle building regime.

I think you may be missing his real point: he’s asking people to stop sending anonymous non-attributed emails, as he deletes those.

I do the same; it’s not a proton/gmail/etc. thing, it’s a “did you say who you are in the mail” thing. He then points out that most of these anonymous messages are coming from protonmail/gmail accounts.

He’s essentially saying he doesn’t want anonymous tips/feedback. Nothing to do with the delivery service.

A lot of people didn’t notice it, but it affected a lot of people. That was the time of supply-on-demand, just in time manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and a lot of other behind the scenes stuff that was caught up in the bubble. Despite the name, it wasn’t all about websites. It was about unregulated venture capitalism.

Fast forward to AI, and there’s a lot more regulation, and barriers to entry. You’re not getting money thrown at you for having an idea… with AI today; a few well financed companies are spending lots of money on AI and then selling their services to established players to include the AI tagline.

In my view, AI has closer ties to the Cloud Services bubble.

The obvious next question is: what features do these apps have in common? Do they share a development platform or ad network? Do they use Firebase or some other diagnostics/debug platform?

Because I suspect that they’re all using some sort of “free” or ad supported component that just happens to be owned by a shell company belonging to either a data broker or a company selling large amounts of data to one.

Hey… maybe that’s what the Greenland/Panama/Canada thing is really about!

It’s not in my profile, but if you search my work address, my profile is the single result.

That’s oil… maybe fatty acids with a chemical change on the end of the molecule?

Probably not; older consoles would be tied to PAL and NTSC colors, but beyond that… well, the NES is pretty well known for how the game developer can swap out a palette mid-frame.

As for modern systems… they’re limited to the output device spec, so you’re dealing with the limits of DVI, HDMI, 4k, 8k, Dolby profiles and HDR.

Why? Because all modern systems use models and shaders, which means they’re likely to use the entire gamut of the colorspace to display objects in-game.

I’m curious though what an oil free cream is made of that would be safe to put on your skin….

Is that you, Neo?

That’s what I do, but they tied my work email to my LinkedIn profile anyway… I keep my personal life offline aside from work and use pseudonyms on systems like this, so they aren’t linking the rest of my life, but they didn’t have any issues tying down my professional identity.

Just a warning that LinkedIn and the like try to link your private and corporate information.

As an aside to this, I knew a girl when I was in school whose mother was Japanese and father was German.

She got hassled a LOT… because the police kept thinking she was too far from the reservation.
