For a while, Comcast/XFinity required the FBI to show up at their offices and present their badge. No emails. But I'm guessing that's changed. At the very least, it's also possible to forge a badge.

The joke is that the real estate developments are named for what's been removed. But I guess that's not the case for some of these Florida developments.

The article certainly signals that we're supposed to feel sympathy for the folks in Kenya. But they are knowingly helping people cheat, right? The next thing, we'll be asked to feel sympathy for moms who kill their kids.

So it went from three times worse to 98% better?

The article doesn't seem to explain why the BP targeted these folks and not other license plates gathered by the reader. Presumably there's some pattern, right?

I wonder if anyone has cobbled together a way to turn this data into a CT scanner? It should be possible to build something like the tricorder from "Star Trek."

It would be ironic if the holes in the quantum-safe crypto meant that they were weaker than the old school options.

I was at one committee meeting when the annual award ceremony came up. One person was considered for an award because she had a big family with many cousins and nieces. All the better to sell tables.

Has anyone integrated these story maps with Drupal? OR maybe another CMS?

Not just IP. Does Hugging Face have any revenue?

One of the big features of the Harvest was the so called POPCOUNT which was supposedly added the machine at the NSA's request. (This is the number of bits in a word that are on.) I've always wondered how this might be used. Some s

My desktop with 64gb of RAM has been my best performing financial asset. The value keeps rising.

Sora isn't cheap, but regular films regularly cost more than $100m to film. Spending $20k on tokens is relatively cheap.

The NSA bought plenty of the machines back then too. They weren't always the favorites of the staff who spent plenty of time with IBM mainframes.

If spending drops by $1t, it will come out of someone's paycheck. Yes, some are greedy folks who will be just fine making 20% less a year. But many will be nurses or hospitals or some combination of providers.

Different rules for the rulers and the proles has been a big part of life on Earth for eternity. Why shouldn't we be surprised that this judge thinks it's okay to do things that a grade schooler can't.

So are we supposed to demonize the big corporations for making a profit or celebrate them for planning ahead and making sure we don't starve? I'm not so sure these days.

Declining? Not when I try to price out 10tb drives. I'm sure the economics will catch up eventually, but anyone shopping for hard drives is getting a shock.

Many ownership agreements come with limits. Some stock funds limit how much people can withdraw each month. Home "owners" associations put plenty of limits on what people can do with their "property." Do you think that s

How do you feel about bookstores stocking titles like "Steal This Book"? What about libraries?

That's a deal breaker for me. Who has the time to set up full crypto protocols when just noodling around?

The squatters really jack up the prices. Yet somehow they pay pennies to squat on domains for decades. It's really a scandal.

The Amiga was an awesome machine. And the OS was part of the reason it was able to deliver such good video.

Just to be clear, I was not enraged by this headline when I desperately clicked on it as fast as I could. It was out of pure scholarly interest.

That's really a different point. Most startups fail -- and it doesn't matter whether they're owned by the workers or some distant capitalist. And, yes, sometimes people are ripped off through dilution. But the reality is that

Do the workers at a startup own shares? That means the workers own part of the company. If they chose to raise more capital, that's their decision. Even the most socialist leaning coffee shop will raise capital to pay for capital impro
