Calling things as they are earns heavy downvotes here. It does make me think not all of the bots were in those Yandex DCs.

I don't understand how it's "too far" in any way, provided that Russia has since the start of the war struck against Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, including datacenters. The only way I can read this is as an example of heavily pro-Russian bias.

The soda replaced is also a UPF though, which does line up with the idea that none of them are good for you.

The language input and output is the only channel the agents shared between them. Understanding their internal state is a research question, but the language between them is something that could be read directly. And as it seems to map well with the agents' activities, it does seem quite helpful in understanding what happened.

If the bacteria population off someone's petri dish escaped said dish and tried to change the grading of the experiment it was part of, it would seem pretty serious.

An anti-cheat app would probably be quite surprised to find it's running on Windows 95 anyway.

Reflink conversion would be another nice feature to have. It allows userspace apps to create filesystem-native copy-on-write clones of files, so to the next app they work exactly like another copy of the same data. But the data is on disk only once.

I think Bohemia parted ways with their publisher Codemasters, who retained the Operation Flashpoint trademark.

Down-rounds are very undesirable though. So those 332 likely have not had other options. True number of companies that wouldn't really be valued as high as their peak raise is probably higher, but some of them have been able to find enough revenue or other sources of funding in order not to raise and be valued down.

Why would you expect Apple to give up their margin? The DRAM price hikes affect every smartphone vendor, even Samsung through opportunity cost. That means the competition will also need to hike their prices. And the competition has lower margin, so they have less choice here.

SailfishOS runs most of Android apps fine. For bank ID, system attestation requirements might block them though.

The docker CLI tool is normally executed with user privileges, but there's dockerd, a daemon running as root that actually does the container execution.

High level waste disposal starts this year in Finland. The site is 400m underground in bedrock. It will not be really operated in geological timescales, but filled with sealing clay after the disposal is finished in 100 years or so. It is financed by the national nuclear waste management fund, which has been fully capitalised by the nuclear generation companies during plant operation.

Solaris lives on as Illumos. Wherever the Solaris developers go, they build on that. Currently they are on it at Oxide.

I'm sure Oracle milks commercial Solaris efficiently, but I imagine it's hard to find new customers for it.

The ISPs are a natural monopoly, or oligopoly at least, because it's expensive to lay cable for each home. Their business is quite profitable even when they don't get to control their customers traffic.

Yes, I think it's the same in here, you have been able to ignore the letters without any consequence. Also from what I hear, the letters have been very inaccurate. I doubt the IP based proof would hold in the court of law.
