Love the sentiment but they were flashing old devices so the likely had lots of vulnerabilities.

Not much of a big deal in that headline. Americans think anything left of centre-right is communism.

Ok, not defending the record and streaming companies but this is nothing new. In the past if you bought an album the artist would see around 1.50$. At an average of 13 tracks on an album you would have to listen to the full album 133 times to equal 3$. That would be close to the band getting 1.50 depending on their contract. This math makes a lot of assumptions about royalties that are varied and complex but I listen to many albums more than that on streaming.

Bands never made tons of money off record sales, there are lots of better ways to support bands you like. Royalties are often paid to the band in merch, so buy a CD or vinyl directly from the band. Same for anything they sell directly at concerts or on their site.

That said I would love to see better shares for the artists, but it’s unlikely going to get better because screwing artists goes back decades.

This is absolutely on the manufacturer. Default credential attacks should not exist in the day and age.

Because in a country with racism in many areas it is always a part of the topic. The medical system already has issues with treatment of black patients. And law enforcement has severe known bias.

Not saying that is the case here but it is often a part of the story.

I find it very accurate for cooking related tasks. I find it to be 90-95% on even the wildest recipes. And developing flavour profiles is something it’s also very good at.

I know that’s not a huge thing for most people but recipe sites are so terrible and flooded with trash I appreciate the time saved. I bring this up because the article suggests it should only be used as a starting point.

I remember it getting bought out. The older teas had about 5 ingredients on the label. Overnight they doubled or tripled. Of course we needed all those chemicals because they were cheaper than just making a good tea.

From the article

The Reuters report found that injury rates at three major SpaceX industrial facilities in Texas and California far exceeded the average for the space industry.

So from the looks of the image it’s an Arborvitae or similar. If it’s real he killed it by cutting back to the wood, then patted himself on the back.

We never stopped it for a reason during all the time the US was there. You need to establish an alternative income for the farmers. They grow poppy because it feeds their families. Ironically the big profits were only seen by the Taliban and not the actual farmers.

Now the farmers can’t just switch to almonds or other high value crops instantly so they will go broke. And many of the US attempts to fund the transition away from poppies were corrupted by Afghan government, making farmers move back to poppies.

And unlike Google it’s not trying to feed you an endless pile of amp links and ads. I love that it gets right to the point.

The people that do we’re already considering it. Each hike you reevaluate if you actually need the service and at some point you drop it.
