Yahoo is still around in some form or another.
Alphabet has enough money to persist well after they lose relevance.

Is GN going to put Google on a Performance Improvement Plan like they did with Asus?
A bear has time and motivation to keep trying over and over again to get into the garbage. People are generally much less determined to figure it out.
With an ad blocking dns.

Go down to the configure manually option and follow the instructions for iPhone.
I think next guard is also supposed to be decent, but they won’t let you use it without an account.
The nice thing about the dns approach is it works for more than just your web browser. There’s a bunch of Android games that are essentially unplayable without an adblocking dns.
As a disclaimer, a bunch of sites are ramping up requiring enabling ads or they won’t let you load the content. I’m ok with just hitting back and not viewing those sites, but my MIL just asked for help removing the ad guard dns because her news sites wouldn’t let her in.
Did you miss the Sci fi shows that taught us that we have to let the tech tycoons enjoy new technology exclusively for a good decade or so before it can be sold to the masses? So your smart contacts are probably in Tim Cook or Satya Nadella’s secret lab in a mountain valley.
After hearing so many people singing their praises, I finally got a membership.
I used it precisely once. Their prices really were not very good on 90% of what I looked at. Plus they really encourage overconsumption.
Aldi ends up being more convenient and generally cheaper for groceries for me.
I’m not trying to yuck your yum, I just wanted to express an unimpressed opinion for other fencesitters.
I thought I had gotten rid of cheques, but I had to get a book specifically to get my passport.
The difference is that Biden IS the current president and is the one that sidestepped congress to give Israel aid without many strings attached. Yeah, come November, don’t choose orange, but that doesn’t mean Biden shouldn’t face pressure in the meantime.
Will there be any rule changes/enforcement to keep ISP’s from dividing up territories into regional monopolies?
I have two AT&T fibers running under my front yard, but they’ll only offer me a dial up connection. Spectrum cable is my only real option, and they keep raising the price.
My problem has nothing to do with a lack of infrastructure and is clearly the result of collusion that is supposedly illegal.
Except Trump likely sees him as a brown loser. I highly doubt he has a chance for VP.
I really don’t think any of the challengers have a chance for VP. Dictators don’t usually embrace would be usurpers into their inner circle.

Medical devices is an obvious potential application for beta decay power. In the past, nuclear power sources were at a major size disadvantage and chemically powered cells can also provide very long service life at such small power draw.
So this definitely isn’t nearly as much of a new concept as the media is suggesting. The question is whether they have achieved a compact enough design to be preferential over competing chemically powered cells.
Another application would be cmos batteries for holding memory states. Using ssds in external enclosures is compelling to reduce the amount of time it takes to actually read and write a full drive. But ssds need to be powered every once in a while. If their internal power storage depletes they lose data. Backup ssd drives with an indefinite power source would definitely be a compelling option. I do however doubt if this technology could ever be cheap enough for such an application. The materials used seem rather expensive.
Yeah reality and satire are getting close enough that I almost wonder if I should add a disclaimer that’s more obvious than the video link.
One of my friends thought I was quoting an interview with Susan Collins.
Interviewer: This airplane that was involved in the incident off Western Oregon this week…
Senator Collins: The one the door plug fell off?
Interviewer: Yeah.
Senator Collins: Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
Interviewer: Well, how was it un-typical?
Senator Collins: Well there are a lot of these airplanes going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that 737 max 9’s aren’t safe.
…
Senator Collins: Well, some of them are built so that the door plug doesn’t fall off at all.
Interviewer: Wasn’t this built so that the door plug wouldn’t fall off?
Senator Collins: Well, obviously not.
Interviewer: How do you know?
Senator Collins: Well, because the door plug fell off at 20,000 feet and all the air spilled out. It’s a bit of a giveaway. I’d just like to make the point that that is not normal.
Interviewer: Well what sort of engineering standards are these 737 MAX 9’s built to?
Senator Collins: Oh, very rigorous aerospace engineering standards.
Interviewer: What sort of thing?
Senator Collins: Well, the door plug’s not supposed to fall off for a start.
…
Interviewer: So the allegations that they’re just designed to carry as many passengers as possible no matter the consequences, I mean that’s ludicrous isn’t it?
Senator Collins: Absolutely ludicrous, these are very very strong vessels.
Interviewer: So what happened in this case?
Senator Collins: Well, the door fell off in this case by all means, but it’s very unusual.
Interviewer: But Senator Collins, why did the door plug fall off?
Senator Collins: Well air hit it.
Interviewer: Air hit it?
Senator Collins: Air hit the plane.
Interviewer: Is that unusual?
Senator Collins: Oh yeah. At altitude? Chance in a million!
Under paying is a good way to make sure that the only people who run for office have financial incentives outside of the salary. Ie: it makes corruption and insider trading more likely.
I would say we should pay them enough to have a solidly comfortable upper middle class lifestyle in perpetuity, and force them to relinquish all prior assets and holdings beside their family home/vehicles. Ideally, these would be highly respected community members and making the comfortable would be commendable. However, they should not be able to leverage their position for personal gain. That should be true after their tenure as well. They should be given a sizeable pension, but any earning related to their office should be forfeit to an approved non-profit. That means speaking engagements and book deals should not be a source of income.
And don’t give them the authority to change the multiplier number.
Factory construction spending booms post pandemic
Companies got an abrupt lesson in how badly just in time supply chains can go when there’s so many potential failure points. A lot of them are finally learning that supply chains need to be shortened. Plus tensions have only continued to build with the China-Taiwan situation so there’s reason to question long term dependence on manufacturing from either area.
None of Biden’s policies would explain a quadrupling of manufacturing construction spending, and we would expect to see similar changes no matter who is in office.
Swap it with the windows key and put the windows key as the function modified keypress. As long as I can still disable that key, it would be fine.
I’m still waiting for hexagon monitors as they are clearly the bestagon.
