Congress people are making about $176k, it's crazy to think top execs "median" make less than a congressman.

What is scary though is how easily the rfid can be read off of a person. It's a great thing to have but card issuers should include some kind of protective sleeve with every card rather than relying on the consumer to be both aware of and able to use an rfid blocking wallet.

I figure to be a more complete test you'd have to include Baidu the Chinese search engine, which is in no doubt censored. Or old school engines like ask.com, and Yahoo even though they serve Bing results to my understanding it would be nice to include them. Either way, good showcase, great example queries. Although I do think some should be catering the MSM narrative to see if the results give contrary results included.

Remember RadioShack?

I mean you vote with your dollar. Stop supporting these bad practices. I don't, it's a hull to get everyone to stop and force themselves to work around. Maybe it's a losing battle, but stop giving them money and we'll be better off. I would not purchase a product with an underlying subscription. I even go as far as getting older cars so I don't have to worry about it.

I would like to see Neil Degrasse Tyson do a season 2 of Cosmos with all these new discoveries. We're only going to keep discovering more.

I tried Firefox and Chrome to see if it was a browser dependency. I tried work and home internet to see if it was a firewall issue.

In the Console if you bring it up you can see the issue. It's unable to connect to the socket it's trying to connect to. So a live bug.

I mean personally, News Bloopers are the best kind of Bloopers. We laugh at our own faults. It's more human this way.

All this spotlight on VS Code and no mention of Sublime Text? I view Sublime Text (even though there is a license fee) as more emacs like than VS Code. I side with others to say its no where near Emacs because Emacs is Emacs. My most cherished Sublime Text plugins began as an Emacs extension (xiki). So I would say Emacs is important to the ecosystem but there's no way Product X will be an Emacs of the 21st century.

Company I worked for moved from Ghost over to ImageX (aka WAIK: Windows Automated Installation Kit) which worked well since we needed it for MDT or Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. They built a GUI for ImageX and it was more compressed than Ghost for the same hard drives.
