I demand that UK MPs declare any interests they have in VPN companies. Perhaps the real agenda here is far more personal than we might think and maybe there's many a fortune being made within the halls of power as a result of this new legislation :-)

Yep, along with the slogan "Only terrorists and CSAM pervs use VPNs".

Sadly, the UK is just one of the first-world countries using "won't someone think of the children" as an excuse for usurping free access to the internet and freedom of speech. Australia's eSafety commissioner has already set the wheels in motion for very similar legislation there and even New Zealand is now seriously considering following along.

Nothing gets a government more excited than the prospect of suppressing dissent and opposition to their narratives. Censoring and restricting access to the internet is the ultimate tool for doing this. When the government gets to dictate what constitutes "harmful material" and has the ability to suppress that information we then live in a totalitarian state.

Only those with something to hide have anything to fear from freedom of information and freedom of speech. How strange therefore, that so many Western governments are now rushing to implement these restrictions on our freedoms and our privacy.

In the UK they've even set up a special police squad to monitor social media for anyone who might be challenging the government narrative and as we've already seen, they're prepared to let violent offenders out of prison early so as to make room for those who have said "hurty words" on the internet.

The world is going to hell in a handbasket and as an old hippy from the 1970s it appalls me that so many of those who will be so badly affected by this are simply doing nothing to push back. Perhaps governments are buoyed by the way so many so passively accepted the diktats of the pandemic and they've realized that the general population has no fight in them and are simply looking for more shorts on YouTube, more Reels on Facebook and some Marvell movies.

We deserve the government we get I suppose :-(

Simply pouring money into R&D doesn't make it succeed, nor does it cause breakthroughs to happen faster. Simply diverting money from one area to another won't solve anything.

CO2 sinking isn't billed as the solution to the massive amount of stuff we are burning. It's the solution to the few small things we have no choice but to continue burning for any foreseeable future.

Also no one in Norway is feeling guilty. This is an investment. They expect financial returns when people pay them to sink carbon. Also why would they feel guilty. Your burnt the product. If they didn't exist you'd still burn the product - probably just sourced from somewhere else.

Why not? There are 500-600 movies released every year in the USA alone. What is it to you if a tiny handful of them are superhero movies? You could ... I don't know... not ... watch them?

You should watch the video it will be right up your alley. Spoiler: It ends with "I don't know why I did this. Okay bye!"

Yeah even the creator thought it was meh.

Yes this is hard to understand. If I run code called Gemini I expect every file to be a duplicate.

10s of thousands of businesses / sites have done this without ever intending to sell up. What makes you think Stack Exchange is doing it to sell? It also makes no sense, you don't shed your physical assets prior to a sale. Any potential buyer can migrate themselves.

Also when did we go from "the cloud scales" to "obviously you move to the cloud if you don't expect growth"? Like literally every point you made feels backwards.

It's a massive battery to battery system. They also have what looks like an entire commercial block worth of solar panels over the parking bays (which won't make much of a difference). Combine that with the dirty secret that Tesla's finest cars can't use the V4 superchargers at anywhere near their rated power output thanks to their antiquated battery design and it becomes a bit more realistic.

That being said, I suspect they couldn't keep all 80 chargers going the entire day. They must be relying on peaks and troughs in demand.

All stalls have congestion charging. No one is going to sit around for the movie that costs them $1 / minute to watch.

Ironically a concert is one of the better places to go. They are dimly lit and aside from this one example for the most people no one recognises (or even pays attention to) anyone at such events. In fact the only reason anyone paid attention to these guys is because the person whom they were paying attention to, specifically called them out.

LOL. No, literally no one cared about policy of a company and no one got pissy either. Now reset your AI, and stop hallucinating non-existent outrage.

EditorDavid was using vibe coding to come up with new material for the front page, and Gemini hallucinated the idea that this story is fresh and unique.

It is the same draft. Revision 25. Encrypted Client Hello and Encrypted SNI is one and the same and this is and was always deployable by everyone; this is not "for large providers" - it is for All providers. They simply had to revise the spec to protect more than the SNI.

According to the Australian Institute of Marine Science's report that you so graciously linked all health indicators including bleaching events and crown of thorns outbreaks are on the rise which is an indicator that the reef is in fact "toast".

Let me give you a human analogy: You just declared that the Gaza strip is a thriving and growing area because more houses (or tents) are popping up in places there weren't before, while ignoring the massive destruction.
