Pretty sure that’s the internet archive which takes snapshots of websites.

You’re looking at the website x.com waaaay back in 1997, where they said they aren’t nearly the worst website on the internet. As opposed to now, where it is a cesspool of toxicity.

Sore arm and bit of a fever overnight. Very mild but felt like it was radiating from my arm.

Got flu and covid are the same time in the same arm.

From Alberta but not working there anymore. Found out somewhat recently, specifically in regards to Software, APEGA lost their protection on the word Engineer. Again, specifically in regards to Software.

YTV is the Youth Television channel in Canada. Might need to go with YTTV for YouTube Television.

Canadian here. Chocolate company Laura Secord made a chocolate bar called the Royale. Or Mint Royale? Something like that. Basically a “solid” mint milk chocolate bar that would just melt in your mouth. Those things were fantastic.

When I was 16 (now late 30s for reference) they sold off the chocolate bar to Nestlé Canada. Who immediately changed the recipe to use, I assume, cheaper chocolate. Maybe cheaper everything. It was never the same and after a year or two they just disappeared, never to be seen again.

My first experience with enshittification I guess.

People keep correcting to anti-genocide but isn’t the word protest enough?

Protest: “the act of objecting or gesture of disapproval.”

If I protest genocide, I’m against genocide.

If I protest anti-genocide, I’m… Pro-genocide?

The original headline has so much doublespeak and mangled English to try to not say Palestine or Genocide.

Also I moved into an area where there is less snow, but when we get it it almost always starts as rain… Then snow… Which melts on the pavement… And eventually the pavement hits zero and all that water turns to ice.

Now you have snow on ice, which is awful.

Where I grew up is exactly how you described it though. Generally fresh snow is fine if the road was previously plowed / treated with gravel or deicer / salt.

My mom would also suggest a heavy blanket, and maybe a candle / matches / lighter. But the candle could cause a fire if you aren’t careful.

This might not be super useful if you don’t write code but I always found the contest submissions fun to read and try to figure out for the https://www.underhanded-c.org/ contest.

They break down and explain the runner up and finalist for each year and how the attack works. It’s usually something very subtle that most people wouldn’t catch.

Uhhhh.

https://www.google.com/search?q=what+percentage+of+homes+are+over+%241+million

Apparently per Redfin 8.5% of homes in the US are 7 figures or more. We’re not talking the 1% here.

In California the median home price is almost $800,000.

I’m in a HCOL area in Washington State and regularly see 3bdrm and sometimes 2bdrm condos for over 1 million.

Not to mention sure your home is equity or net worth but most people only buy one and sell it anytime they move. Many of these people also planned on selling it / downsizing in retirement and converting it towards their retirement fund.

Remember that “afford” doesn’t mean they have a million dollars. “afford” means they saved up a down-payment and then paid interest and mortgage payments (sometimes barely scraping by) for at least 30 years. Usually many more years if they moved from smaller house or a condo to a larger house when they decided to have a family (thereby starting a new mortgage for another 30 years). Or worst case, they haven’t paid it off and now are underwater on their mortgage.

The banks are the ones making crazy money on all this.

If you aren’t doing more you have a parity drive, not backups, to be clear.

If a drive fails you can resilver and your data is fine.

If someone with write/delete access makes a mistake and deletes everything, or ransomware encrypt all your files, you can’t just “restore from last week’s backup” because you don’t have one.

I’ve had an Nvidia shield TV for like 6 years now. Very happy with it.

In a lot of cases the fine is punitive in addition to having to relinquish any earnings from bribes/blackmail/theft/etc. But this article doesn’t touch on or mention that.

You notice some differences just from the air temperature going into the engine too. Especially in a turbocharged car.

Colder air means denser air. Denser air means more oxygen molecules in the same volume of air. More oxygen means the engine can put more fuel and produce a bit more power.

Depending on your driving style, i.e. If you have a heavy foot, this means a bit more power and fun, but you’re burning a bit more gas too.

It’s per 1000 drivers (at least in OP’s example). Doesn’t matter how many are on the road that’s factored out.

This is really old.

Xbox music became Groove Music which was retired Dec 31st 2017.

Though I guess that was just the subscription offering?

Sounds like any licenses you held continue on which I guess is nice. Does that mean any Zune licenses you have are now Xbox / Groove?

My LG TV updated to show ads in the input selection menu. I was pissed for a few months until someone showed me you can disable them in the settings. Maybe you can disable them on yours?

I mean, without browsing levels.fyi or anything like that you can get 4 to 10 software engineers for 1 million (anything from 100k to 250k depending on location, experience, etc.).

Not all employees are engineers but that would imply 80 to 200 staff for the 20 million they state.

That’s only the component paid to the actual staff though. There are additional costs like Healthcare, unemployment, social security, etc, and other benefits that may not be included in wages (though some portion may be deducted from salaries), but they are including in that statement / summary.
