Specifying paths with - would be its own special brand of hell.

It was an Australian Senator that said that in a comment about housing affordability for young people, about them being able to afford a deposit if they weren’t so frivolous with money.

Ironically, totting that up, and assuming that they buy that every day ceaselessly, and that the cafe never closes, it’s only 10 grand, and Australian housing prices are high enough that in most places, that’s not even enough for a 5% deposit for a $500,000 home. You would only be half-way there.

You’d still not be able to afford the mortgage, even after buying said home.

It can depend on your particular part of the tech-sphere. I barely saw anything about either of those, because I wasn’t all that interested in AI things, and didn’t really follow the kind of people who would talk about it. At most, it was a quick flash in the pan before it was overshadowed by other news.

China is already trying quite hard with its Great Firewall. We don’t need to make their job easier for them.

Crack enough eggs, and you won’t have any left for the omelette.

Wrong battery. You’re thinking the high-voltage EV battery, but in this case, it was the 12V lead-acid accessory battery that died. Normally, that would be charged from the high voltage battery, if the car was running.

In this case, it might just have been bad luck with a worn-out battery.

The toddler was strapped into the seat at the time, so chances are that they would not be able to find and open the door that way anyhow.

I don’t think that’s how you’re meant to use a WHERE.

Everyone is dead

It even has questionably-helpful mysterious blinky lights at the bottom right which may or may not do anything useful.

I think they’d be more likely to say homosexuality is illogical and repress it. Could make an interesting plot point.

The converse is that making a specific distinction based on sexuality like that is also illogical in what is supposedly the enlightened 24th century Federation.

They’re not the ancients of the 21st century, who would be so concerned with such primitive things.

The internet archive plans to appeal the ruling, so the fight is hardly over at this juncture.

Would be interesting to see where it goes.

Highly unlikely. Minecraft has a lot of quirky code, and the mods would have been built around that code.

For all intents and purposes, the clones are a different game entirely, and unless the mod author specifically goes out of their way to make their mod compatible with the clones, or a different version for it, they won’t work.

This is a special bed that’s designed to break under the weight of more than one occupant.

That just sounds like a recipe for it to crumple if multiple people sit on it, or someone jumps into it, rather than gracefully climbing in.

One of the reasons why the 1/3rd pound burger lost to the 1/4 pound burger, was because people saw the 1/4, and thought that the quarter-pound was larger for some inexplicable reason.

I would be very surprised if there wasn’t at least some marketing suggestion focused around “number that looks big is better”.

Anyone know how skipping breakfast contributes? It seems like it would do the opposite.

Honestly, after Zora became sapient, it seems like a cruelty to have her just sit around in deep space.

In Calypso, this was less of an issue, because of the implication that Discovery became sapient after centuries of floating about, developing sapience as part of that time, but Zora would be sapient from the get-go, and leaving a sapient being adrift and alone for Millennia seems like fairly unethical.

Without knowing how, not really. If it’s a massive multi-device botnet, like Mirai, for example, that’s millions of indvidual devices across millions of addresses, so it isn’t so simple as just blocking a domain. Trying to block all of them might well just block legitimate users.

Request limits also wouldn’t work if it’s millions of devices making a few requests at once, and an overall limit would have a similar locking-out effect as blocking everything. Especially if the DDoS is taking up most/all of that limit.

Yes, since most modern chargers and cables have internal chips to communicate capabilities with for things like fast-charging. It is not difficult to have the chip identify itself as something else, and execute a payload.

A common attack method is to have it show up as a keyboard, and execute a series of key-sequences when connected to a computer (like opening and executing things through a command prompt).

It is also why you should try and avoid plugging random USB cables/chargers into your phone/computer when out and about, since you don’t exactly know if the other end is what it appears to be.

It’s also a lot easier to do it in software, since you don’t need to splice wires and leave physical traces like you would have had to do in the day.

A well-configured charger or Flash drive can do that job for you, and can spread itself.
