I wonder if following through with that advice would be grounds for a lawsuit by the shipping company's insurance

They were able to use the changes in orbit to calculate the densities of the asteroids, so maybe it's the first time they were able to alter it enough that the changes can be used to calculate that sort of thing.

If a county auditor deems the challenge valid

The article doesn't say how South Dakota county auditors are chosen, how they make decisions or what scrutiny they are subject to but I'm not sure I like your chances here

The traffic cone is very clever

Sure but that's just because there is a maximum amount of word knowledge that can be accumulated and all of them have at least come close to fully memorizing the dictionary. That doesn't mean they can skip all the time spent memorizing. People involved in tournament level Scrabble have practice routines that involve memorizing words.

a huge swath of the animosity is being driven by historic and justified anger at the extraction class.

I just wish this anger was kept focused at the corporations and the way regular people are being treated as disposable resources to be shut off from the wealth/output of our society so the rich can have it all, rather than people with inherent worth that should be supported because we are people.

If unusual behaviours are detected, for example a large group of people moves suddenly or in an unexpected way, security teams on the ground are alerted and can check if there is a problem.

Yes this will definitely be used only for its intended purpose

Bitcoin issues an increasingly smaller share of coins to miners, in order to maintain their supposed guarantee of a hard cap of 21 million that will ever be created. This means that the price of Bitcoin has to double every four years just to keep the amount of money paid to miners the same. Bad for viability/security of the network, but good for long term carbon footprint prospects. Although it's probably likely that there's always going to be some kind of semi-scalable way to make money from running computations, so the failure of any one method isn't going to be a lasting solution to environmental problems.

The pitch for their AI generated newsletter kind of makes me suspicious about the rest of the article

Looks like it only works when it is embedded, not when you go to imgur itself

I liked the manga but haven't seen the anime, is it worth watching?

I feel like this is a pretty good "in media res" page

 

I was watching this video of a live chicken trapped on a moving truck and thought it was strange that it's not possible to say anything to them even when circumstances might warrant it. All we got is honking and waving. There could be a touchscreen interface with a map of nearby vehicles. It could be voice controllable or the passenger could do it for safety.

 

While alternative app stores operate independently and are required by EU law, Apple is still in a position to exert some control. This became apparent a few weeks ago, when iTorrent users suddenly ran into trouble when installing the app.

Thought this was an interesting story, since it's pretty analagous to the recent Android situation, with third party app stores being enabled to some extent, but the company retaining ultimate censorship power.

 

The Block BEARD bill broadly applies to service providers as defined in section 512(k)(1)(A) of the DMCA. This is a broad definition that applies to residential ISPs, but also to search engines, social media platforms, and DNS resolvers.

Service providers with fewer than 50,000 subscribers are explicitly excluded

So I was reading this post and decided to make the tool described, as a userscript (I credit ChatGPT with doing most of the work, which went pretty quickly). To use it, install a compatible userscript browser extension such as https://violentmonkey.github.io/ , then press install on the linked page. Reddit comments should now have a 'copy-context' button that will put the comment chain in your clipboard. I made it for old.reddit so probably won't work with the redesign. Another limitation is that it will only work to copy what is on the current page, so if the comment chain is too deep it's not going to get all of it.

Any feedback is welcome. Also if someone who can read javascript wants to give it a once-over and confirm for people that it isn't malicious that would be cool too.
