Anyway...

not, seeing as how the Chinese cut a cable in November the exact same way they did last year.

Reusable grocery bags are disgusting and unsanitary, and paper bags are a pain and more harmful to the environment than plastic. When they passed a similar law in my county in NY, I bought boxes of single-use bags in bulk from Amazon and keep one in the trunk of each of my cars. Problem solved.

OK listen... I lied. Um... All that stuff I said about being a crack head? It just helps me sell magazines. I'm actually an unemployed... software engineer.

Isn't any more valid than anyone else's. His job is mostly to tell other people what to do, not to work with the technology himself. Unless he's personally wearing the device for 8 hours a day and using it to replace monitors and other screens, his opinion is just marketing fluff. I was really impressed with my Quest 2, for the first hour or so. Then I found it unbearable. I'm sure the Vision Pro is better than that, but is the overall experience sufficiently improved to replace every screen I normally use? Is it comfortable to wear long term? Will I really be able to wear it and interact safely with the real world? Not from what I've read, and a couple of sentences of fawning from James Cameron isn't going to convince me otherwise.

According to Wal Mart's corporate facts page about drone deliveries, they have 36 stores nationwide offering drone deliveries, and in 2022 they delivered a whopping total of 6,000 items via drone. That's less than 0.5 items per store per day. It's a cute idea, but there are too many potential problems with range, payload, theft and other losses, and liability for this to really take off.

That's true, but the Fallout stories are set in a world with a wealth of established history, lore, organizations, biological systems, etc. The fact that they are setting this in a new area with a new Vault means they probably aren't going to mess with individual established characters, there is plenty of other stuff for them to mess up. For instance, what's with the cyclops overseer shown in the trailer? Maybe it's an interesting spin on Vault-Tec's use of the Vaults to conduct horribly unethical experiments on their citizens, or maybe it's just dumb retconning.

They can make a show jump the shark before the first episode airs.

If you have to avoid doing certain things for fear the government will ban them, the problem isn't the things you're doing, it's the government.

They didn't use blockchain?

Oh no! Facebook didn't censor the people we don't like!

Back in the day, John Gilmore coined the phrase "The Internet Perceives Censorship as Damage and Routes Around It" and it was often repeated here. Nowadays it's the opposite - people expect censorship to be the norm, and routing around it is damage. It's a fun coincidence that the current top article on /. discusses how Gilmore was just removed as a board member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation he helped found.

Justin.tv ring a bell then?

This might be a location thing, but in the united states, plans from an architect aren't enough to get anything built.
You need to get an engineer to stamp drawings, saying, "Hey, yeah, this is safe, it can be built, etc."

It's not uncommon for architects to build dumpster fires. Frank Lloyd Wright homes are notoriously awful to maintain, for example.

I used it for a few weeks for personal use only, I enjoyed it, it was solid, behaved like any modern browser. A little annoying that I had to tweak it to install chrome extensions.

The only reason I'm not using it full time is it's mute tabs, not sites, philosophy. There's only a handful of sites I want to hear audio from, and there's no easy way to do this without an extension. IMHO this should be a first class feature.

Try to keep up /.

He's alive but in critical condition.
