I had this experience watching Eddington. My adult son and I were laughing all the way through and the packed audience was totally silent. Very strange experience.

What? That is so not true I don’t even know where to begin. The President, of course, has some input into what the budget will be but we have seen plenty of times that Congress can and will flex their power when the parties of the Congress and President do not match.

Sure, when the party controlling both members of Congress matches the President. Less so when it doesn’t. Some of the biggest reductions in the growth of spending come when the parties do not match for that very reason.

And this might mean something if the President created the budget.

And there is a very American anti-government aspect to it as well.

I know the whole “AI logos look like buttholes” thing is a joke for most people, but I really speaks to the pornification of our society. I would never have thought “butthole” looking at any of their logos.

Not usually a “+1” or “Me too!” kinda guy but homebrew is incredible and makes dev on Mac quite seamless. Huge thanks to the team.

Never has a man of straw been so completely eviscerated. An absolute massacre. Bravo.

Not to take things too off track but I worked at Egghead Software around that time and the looping recording we had on a TV for that game haunts me to this day.

You call it UML? Really?

Yes, this appears to be entirely about raising the price of iPhones without raising the cost of iPhones. Most people don’t buy it out right so they need a way to ease the prices raised by keeping the monthly payments around the same. The difference is you have to return the phone at the end instead of owning it.

I searched for each of the supported eInk devices and they were all tiny. Anyone know if there is a larger reader (maybe Paperwhite size-ish) that might run this?

> All decisions are made by committee. There are no shareholders apart from the state. Success benefits all within the state.

I cannot believe there are people on this planet that still believe this. Astounding.

You bet I am angry. I am tired of people defending a law by saying “that’s not what it was meant to do!” As if the intent matters one bit. What matters is the result of the law. And the result of this regulation is to make the web universally crappier than it was before. It did basically nothing to improve things in the real world.

Don’t change the topic.

The general council (lawyers) at companies are making the decisions around cookies banners and the like, not the folks trying to make money. Regardless of how you might interpret the law and requirements around GDPR, the legal profession as a whole seems to think the crap we live with today is necessary. If it isn’t, it’s on the EU technocrats to clarify in communications, written rules, and on their own damn website what it is supposed to look like.
