I wish they could have left her funnels on to sink with the rest of the ship. I suspect if they did the tops would be too shallow and a hazard to navigation. Or maybe they didn’t want them to rust and fall unexpectedly on some divers.

I bet the Tov developers used a clanker to write the rust for them.

The maintainers of the python library are wrong. Handling backwards time jumps is basic correctness for software where time is used to derive a semantically meaningful value.

Spend the money on something we already know works that will help people today, right now.

It's not even a test of an orbital data center. All it will do it determine if and how a Google TPU performs in space.

Only 841 fewer in 270M miles is not the flex waymo might think it is.

Did you know birds do not have receptors for capsaicin? They can eat any pepper and it doesn't affect them. So if you see a bird snacking on a pepper that's red or greenish-yellow, wrinkly, and has a pointy end, well ... watch out

Yes of course they do. It's only the AI bros who are trying to use the tech for accountability washing claiming otherwise.

It's 2026. Talking about pandemic over-hiring for the current job market is like blaming the Biden administration for gas prices.

Quarter pound of chicken? Nobody goes to mickey D's for chicken. People think : Chick-fil-A when they want a chicken sandwich. Tip for McD's execs: bring back the McRib indefinitely and keep it front and center until/unless beef prices drop.

The requirement for connected network topology is a non-starter for many SaaS products. I don't want my systems to be open to some backchannel communication from the SaaS providers service.

Note the CEO here blames the employees, using the "you're holding it wrong" excuse.

It was listed at $25 million, later cut to $20 million. Ok, I understand paying a bit of a premium for an iconic property, but... "Even with the price cut, the eight-figure home is about $18 million higher than the median for its surrounding neighborhood".

That's not a premium price, that's 10x over market. Plus, it's on the National Register of Historic Places, meaning whoever buys it is committing to maintaining it according to the listing.

How about the Stahl family donate it to the National Park Service, along with an endowment to fund upkeep? Let a historic property be historic, not a shiny bauble for a billionaire status symbol.
