And yet… there have been lawsuits that surfaced memos and audio clips where GOP strategists were blatant about developing proxies for “is black”.

One example would be a black neighborhood having 1 voting machine so that the line is so long there isn’t time for everyone to vote.
Meanwhile a white neighborhood has dozens of polling places, each with many machines.

Point taken but I’m pretty sure working class people choose based on initial cost, not bang/range for the buck.

Drat! I hoped this was going to cover the internal battle where Google executives trying to stop JPEG XL and how engineers finally convinced them to change their minds.
My guess: the engineers didn’t win the argument. The executives just gave up once all the other browsers had added support.

Don’t forget about Lotus Network Notes!
It was one of AT&T’s attempts to “kill the internet”.
The people working on it were down the hall from me when I was at AT&T.
It only worked on Novell networking. I asked how they plan on dealing with various Novell limits and they’d respond with blank stares.
The plan was to restrict it to only work on AT&T networks. So, it was more of a marketing ploy than a technology.
When I’d ask “how could this little project beat the internet, which is huge and growing exponentially?” And was told basically they believed if they could act fast enough, nobody would know the internet existed.
And people wonder why I had no faith in AT&T management.

> This change does not affect Google Workspace aliases or other Gmail addresses you own.
I bet most people complaining about this change don’t even know this feature exists.
Right now you can forge email from any email address you can verify ownership.
Most of those emails will end up in a spam folder.
This doesn’t affect email addresses that Google controls DMARC records for.

This is FANTASTIC! I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of my chair.
Have you seen DNSControl?
If you want a serious alternative to the Route53 API, there's an open source project called https://dnscontrol.org/ DNSControl. It's like Terraform for DNS but it doesn't suck like Terraform.
Version v5.0 just shipped. It's a major rewrite that makes it much more extensible.

Maybe instead of being an author your should have had the foresight to be Jeff Bezos.

Can they do something similar so that caps include the full date/time? I hate when caps are perpetually “1 hour ago”.

So… what language do you use?
No (useful) language is simple. Claiming go is not simple without naming a language for comparison is a party foul.

The difference is now the US has a leader that is actively encouraging its downfall.
