How about putting some cash bounty flags out there in dedicated mock systems.. and maybe allow the public to attempt cyber breaches with the same impunity that anonymous perpetrators enjoy.

I’m sure there’s some value in that.

100F is about peak summer heat; 0F is about peak winter chills. Works great for describing weather .. in various places.

Twitter won by pulling the rug!

They changed terms against their captive users and forced policy changes to end open publishing and firehose APIs—which the organization had once championed and enshrined.

This really sounds like VeriSign has no business owning .name … best possible outcome would be transferring it to somebody who will retain the originally intended services.

Not only is everything subject to manipulation, but it’s incentivized—with a new opportunity to capitalize on the unwitting.

Why can’t I filter by $/TB??

I want to see the table sorted by lowest cost first, but with a $/TB filtered to be in the top 5% (or under some max value).

Interesting that he would consider software a new life form. I think our organizations are really the higher life form above Apex humans.

When we have computer systems acting as corporation owners, and we begin to thrive in working for those corporations… That’s really going to change the picture.

I think it’s newsworthy as related to managed web publishing/speech and the governance of online information. Did any Wikipedia articles cite this page? Do those need revision now??

This is a big win for China. Standards of Justice have moved tremendously in open seas.

Whether drugs or information, you don’t want to be on the wrong side of this!

With RO, could* focus on kitchen and bathroom sinks; amortized cost should be $5-10 per-month per-sink.

Toilet, shower, and laundry could all be low-risk with unfiltered service tap water.

Seems like continuous edge testing would be a critical first step.

End users seeing water content in real time would absolutely motivate fixes.

Via ChatGPT, some groups of Chicago children are average 6-8 µg/dL blood lead levels, guaranteeing they’ll face challenges related cognitive disability. 100+ years of this—and all they need is good water filters.

This should be a class action to get fixed. No way the government can fix this alone in a reasonable time frame without focusing on end-users first.
