I had to register something called an FRN when I received my amateur radio license from the FCC. I assume that in my situation, FRN stands for FCC Registration Number or something.

Somehow I doubt that’s what the sovcit is talking about.

I’m talking about all those Intel programs that come preinstalled.

“Intel device smart updates” “Intel audio control center”

That kind of garbage

I did this in my town. It was a local theater though, not a big chain

• Went on a Wednesday night and rented access to a screening room for ~5h. We had to pay extra because they normally close earlier on a weeknight
• Showed up early to meet the projectionist and get a technical rundown
• Setup was a friend’s laptop plugged into HDMI running up to the projector booth
• Nobody complained when we brought out a disk full of torrented movies
• The theater already had a license to sell alcohol, so we had that covered
• We brought a small bit of outside food, and nobody complained

It was absolutely the best time I ever had at a cinema. When the evening wound down, the projectionist invited us into the back area for a tour of the projection equipment.

I think that because we were a private event the rules about screening copyrighted materials to public audiences did not apply.

Stop “non-essential work”…

But I bet they’ll still ship bloatware updates for Windows

I know this is a joke, but I couldn’t be a programmer without some pedantry. LUnix is actually a real OS! I booted it on my Commodore 64 once.

make up is my build command for pushing to prod

…and of course Duck Game never got released on GoG

Fuck this greedy bullshit

I’ve never seen Mille used in reference to money. Only in advertising (eg CPM = cost per mille = cost per thousand ad impressions)

But to answer your question, the original Bloomberg article says 60 million.

Same as foo, bar, baz, bizzle, and bebop 😋

Despite what the length of their privacy policies might suggest, first party sites are a lot stingier with their user data now than they’ve been in the past. The value of knowing who someone is and what they want is derived when you convince them to pull out a credit card, at which point you need to collect their data anyway.

Thus, I think we’ll see two tiers of data collection: Deep first-party info shared between retailers and data brokers to target advertising on their first party site, and less granular banner advertising based on privacy sandbox, taking the place of drive-by cookie drops. If privacy sandbox is as good for random blogs as industry is expecting (ie, not as perfect as third party cookies, but less impactful than Apple’s ITP was), I don’t think we will see a wave of email signups.

I don’t quite understand the leap from “No third party cookies” to “You need to create an account”.

If you’re visiting a site and they drop a cookie, that’s a first party cookie. You don’t need to log in for that to happen, and they can track you all the same. Taking identifiers from a first party cookie and passing them to advertisers will still be a thing, it’ll just require closer coordination between the site and the advertiser than if the advertiser dropped their own cookie.

Now yes, that first party cookie won’t follow you around to other websites and track your behavior there, but creating an account wouldn’t enable this anyway. Besides, Google’s Privacy Sandbox product suite is intended to fill this role in a less granular way (associating k-anonymized ids with advertising topics across websites).

Sorry, what’s .Net again?

The runtime? You mean .Net, or .Net Core, or .Net Framework? Oh, you mean a web framework in .Net. Was that Asp.Net or AspNetcore?

Remind me why we let the “Can’t call it Windows 9” company design our enterprise language?

In truth, there were several reasons that one could decline a duel without loss of honor. For example if the duel challenge was issued with obvious quarrelous intent.

Eg:

“You’re a liar”

“No I’m not. What are you talking about?”

“Ah, so you deny being a liar?”

“Yes, wtf are you getting at?”

“Then by your denial, you accuse me of being a liar! This insult shall not stand. I demand satisfaction.”

“Lol, fuck off”

Another case would be if one duelist was not of sufficient station to match the honor of their opponent. A freshly-minted bourgeoisie vs a nobleman, for example.

Lastly, duels might be turned down if it were obvious to all that that a significant skill mismatch were at play. For example, a military officer might not be allowed to duel a civilian with sabres. Guns, however, were generally considered more egalitarian.

The drag is air against the whole body of the train, so you need vacuum everywhere.

Assuming that you could build such a big vacuum there would be safety concerns. What if there’s an accident in the tube? Does everyone in the train depressurize and die? Assuming people can survive and get out of the train car, now they’re in a tube that’s 100 miles long. How can you build emergency exits in a system designed to be as airtight as possible?

Yeah, but do you want to be the person who has to fact-check every photon that hits these solar cells? I’m sorry, but a lie can radiate from the surface of a star and power your vehicle before the truth can even put its shoes on.

I’ll believe that it’s a contender against existing quartz movements when they lay out the production costs for their design. You can’t consign discrete ticks to the dustbin of history until you can compete with a $3 SpongeBob watch from Malaysia.
