If Google takes money to host an ad that’s malware, they should be able to be prosecuted for it.

This is different than simply hosting community content that they can’t reasonably moderate. They’re being given money to distribute these ads, so they can afford to moderate them.

Which should be easy anyway. Ads shouldn’t be able to install third-party shit from the advertisers on user computers. Google can easily restrict what can be included on an ad package.

If they were shoved in the mailbox without postage it’s definitely illegal.

Imagine that you’re standing on a train and have a baseball. If you throw the ball off the train, the ball will still have momentum in the direction of the train’s movement.

If you want to throw the ball to a friend the train just passed, you have to be able to throw the ball faster than the train is moving or it will never reach them.

She used to be a Country Music darling, and a lot of right-wing Country people still feel like they own her like back when they had her as an underage sex symbol.

PS3 is the trickiest. They had that weird Cell architecture which is more difficult to emulate than simply “less-powerful x86” emulation required for more-recent consoles.

I cited and linked my source from the 18th century when it was redefined. What’s yours?

Welcome to peer review!

The scale was adjusted later to make freezing and boiling points land on exact numbers with an easily-divisible 180-dregrees between them (180 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 20, 36, 45, 60, and 90).

Should use Rankine with that logic. It comes out to 566.

Fahrenheit literally meant to base the scale with 100 being human body temp.

It was later rescaled by Cavendish to put the freezing point of water at exactly 32 and boiling point at exactly 212, giving a nicely-divisible 180-degree separation between freezing and boiling. That shift is why body temperature is 98.6.

Last time I got pretty deep in, but it became impossible when the chess notation rule required Cs and Ds, making it impossible to stay below the roman numberal sum limit.

Was that the first one that had M Bison as a playable character?

Yeah. I’ve noticed the new generation coming into the workplace can’t do shit on a computer.

They’ve grown up on apps that have simple interfaces and limited options. Give them the freedom and power of a workstation and you’ll find they never learned to learn real software.

Not enough detail in the comic to tell whether it’s a striker or hammer-fired pistol.

Most striker (and some hammer) automatics cannot be decocked without pulling the trigger on an empty chamber.

And got those that can, you either have to pull the trigger while holding the hammer back and lowering it manually, or by flipping a separate switch or button.

If it could be done by moving the slide back and pulling the trigger, then holding the trigger down while firing the gun would result in full-auto.

I top-mounted it to my A1-mini and it does just fine. I’d imagine the full A1 should be alright.

Our dachshund picks up and eats all kind of shit. She’s a destroyer of SHOES and CPAP masks, of course, but she also eats rocks, plastic, or whatever else she finds.

The other day I walk in, and she has 2 milkbones (we don’t buy them and I have no idea where they came from). She just moved them around for a few days and never ate them. But a stick is fine dining.

Dogs are weird.

To help fight bot disinformation, I think there needs to be an international treaty that requires all AI models/bots to disclose themselves as AI when prompted using a set keyphrase in every language, and that API access to the model be contingent on paying regain tests of the phrase (to keep bad actors from simply filtering out that phrase in their requests to the API).

It wouldn’t stop the nation-state level bad actors, but it would help prevent people without access to their own private LLMs from being able to use them as effectively for disinformation.

I wish I could remember the name of an extension I had on my old computer.

It hid all ads, but also clicked them all in the background. It accomplished 4 goals:

1. I didn’t see the ads
2. The websites I visited made more money through the clicks
3. It cost the advertisers money
4. It made the cost/benefit worse for advertisers since they were paying for clicks without anyone being influenced by the ads

Okay, the building name is the chef’s kiss.
