is when the sun is straight up (or as high as it goes). Midinight is when it is straight under your feet (or actually, as low as it goes). As long as you keep that in mind, in my experience, it's OK to live in a pretend timezone. You go by the clock, but as long as you pay attention to the Earth and sky, you will know what time it really is.

"...that would qualify as a crime if perpetrated by a person.". Guess what? In a legal sense, a incorporated business is a person - that's the idea anyway. It can own property, take actions, etc. I just don't know why they aren't punished similarly. They always seem to get off with a fine. Why not put them in jail? (Or some equivalent: suspend operations?)

I read elsewhere - don't have the link handy - that the bots were restricted from using HTTP POST requests. But old wiki software and bespoke code actually used the GET to post data. So the restriction was naÃve. Ironically, any coding agent tool could have pointed that out, I imagine...

when are corporations going to realize that I don't want my data leaving my stuff? i opt NOT to use my security cam "view from your phone", NOT to control my home's AC from an app, I keep my ancient robovacuum running because I opt NOT to provide my wifi internet to support a newer one that requires it.. now GoPro providing a receiver that loads my video to a server farm? so typical, and NO.

I find it sad that she left coding at all if she cared about it. She says she feels empowered to be able to build again. Then she was dis-empowered by leaving something close to her heart. For what? To be an exec? If she cared about that, she would have felt empowered all these years.

Optical disks ARE digital; the physical media IS digital; what is this talk about "all digital", it ALREADY all digital!

âoeAudio fingerprinting works because small differences in browser versions, operating systems, audio libraries, and hardware can produce slightly different results...â. And I am left wondering, what results? What can the web site read back - is it recording the output back through audio input? Are there other arithmetic reaults that can be read back? Timing? Why the article does not ANSWER THE OBVIOUS QUESTIONS?

"Back in 2000 Slashdot interviewed one of the presidents of SCO. "... THAT is the real stroy here! Remember when? Not even having 64 bit Linux? Linux not having journaling file systems? Most importantly -- Slashdot polls CHANGED every week??

In any case I find 4G more reliable as the 4G signal is always stronger than the 5G signal, particularly in the countryside. When I have 5G enabled, my phone switches to it if it's present, even when it is unusably weak and distant. So I keep it disabled.

"The fund employed a risky strategy of borrowing money to purchase stocks." In middle school - 13, 14 years old - we ran a role-playing game to learn how the hollow and foolish technique of margin buying led to complete disaster for investors in 1929. They don't teach that anymore? I mean, how can the fund's participants let this 25 year old idoit lead them down that path?

If you have internet service to your home, or "cable" TV, you probably still have a lanline available to subscribe to - either coax or fiber.

who cares whether it is the fastest for AI workloads? there are plenty of other workloads. this machine is fastest at HPL benchmarks - and that represents important applications. frankly, i /am/ interested it is made with home grown cpus and interconnects.

I think I would be pretty dismayed to hop in my car to head out for work in the morning and discover that it dumped half it's charge for datacenters... and that GM took profit out of that, to boot!

I would suggest that if reduced staff can handle the current backlog, then the current staff could do even more. Why isn't the backlog "fattening"? Because the sales organization already worked their asses off to develop the current backlog. The company does not have the expertise or know how to extend to new markets; the economy is hard; competition is fierce - it is not easy. But the fundamental reason to downsize is you are not able to develop a productive workload to make the workforce profitable. In that case, you've got to downsize to maintain a profit margin.
