As far as it is, it's still just under one day at light speed.

Plenty of free apps get monetized just fine. They just have to offer something people want to use that they can slather ads all over. The AI doo-dads haven't shown they're useful. I'm guessing the dedicated hardware strategy got them more upfront funding from stupid venture capital than an app would have, but they still haven't answered why anybody should buy these. Just postponing the inevitable.

After living through the last few elections, I'm not going to bet on whether Biden vs Haley or Biden vs Trump will lead to a better result. But I really don't see how helping Haley would actually accomplish anything. Even if the Democrats made a big (wasted) effort to push & campaign for Haley, it's not going to be nearly enough to make her the nominee.

Absent the Supreme Court declaring Trump ineligible (don't hold your breath) It's going to be Biden vs Trump. Prepare for that. Messing with the Republican's sham primary is a waste of effort and a distraction from more constructive things Democrats could be doing like getting their voters registered and ready to go to the polls in November.

The Klingons oversell their whole honorable warrior schtick, especially to outsiders. They're not a monoculture but it's far less "cool" to be a nerdy scientist in Klingon society than, say, Starfleet, but they've still got them. They're just not celebrated to the same degree. They pay for that by being a bit behind the tech curve, imo.

What he believes in his heart has nothing to do with the crimes he's been charged with. He interfered with official processes and concocted a scheme to submit a state of false electors. Believing he was doing what was right has nothing to do with the legality of the charges.

It's still alive and kicking under the old framework though. Most ISPs dropped their news servers ages ago but there are still loads of free and subscription providers out there.

I don't know what this committee thinks it can accomplish that the fediverse hasn't already picked up the torch on, but power to them. The less centralized and more diverse the Internet is, the better.

I agree. I think tech progression has been mostly beneficial, but I could do without DRM and centralized social media.

For a minute there I thought this was going to be about a nuclear aircraft. That's some wild 1950s shit right there.

The judge has every right to revoke bail and lock him up if he breaks those terms. I'm not betting any money on that actually happening, but if the law were applied equally he'd be denied bail and in prison until trial already.

Fortune favors the prepared. Better to have them in your luggage and never need them than to need them and not have them.

I don't think it had anything to do with the show itself and was a purely financial move.

Companies across many industries are being told by their investors to cut expenses yesterday and they're abruptly shutting things down, laying people off, etc. Even if they're profitable.

SpaceX was deliberately named so it sounds like "Space Sex"
