May? This has been obvious for ages. There are Waymo taxis doing a reasonable job now thanks to, at least in part, having appropriate sensors. The Tesla approach of just video is never going to cut it, especially in more hazardous weather conditions.

Truth hurts I guess.

Giving Saudi Arabia the 2034 World Cup has been a longtime coming. The 2030 World Cup was split across South America, Africa and Europe, yes really, under the banner of it being the ‘centennial cup’. Of course they could have held it all in South America, Uruguay being the original hosts.

In World Cup rules once a continent has hosted the World Cup they can’t hold it again for a certain period. So FIFA decided to hold it in three continents at the same time, thus reducing the available opportunities for 2034 and pretty much guaranteeing Saudi for 2034

A great video on this subject. https://youtu.be/q6h-a4GfYy4?si=npwu5xXxWScuPu1J

Good. Dems should engage hostile media more, Pete Buttigieg gives masterclasses on how to do it. Not everyone can be that good but shining a light in the darkness is important. Ignoring it just lets it fester.

In the UK they’re called ‘idents’. You can find a huge collection of UK ones here https://theident.gallery/

Trump told Fox & Friends that he felt Harris was “awfully familiar” with the questions as he debated her.

It’s called preparation you bellend.

Not entirely unlike Jill Biden telling Joe he’d done a good job, when clearly the opposite had happened.

I hope Harris doesn’t over prepare, she does need to maintain a certain level of off the cuff affability.

Over preparation was Biden’s fatal error, he was struggling so hard to hit his talking points he couldn’t keep things straight. Obviously things are vastly different with Harris, but she’d be best to not just be a talking point machine.

What conspiracy theory? The Saudis and Qataris have stakes in Twitter.

Qatar Holding, a sovereign wealth fund, is contributing $375m, while Saudi Arabian investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who had initially opposed the buyout, also confirmed he would retain his $1.9bn stake in Twitter, writing that Mr Musk would be an “excellent leader” for the site.

Maybe the Saudis and Qataris will chip in some more cash to help him out.

Wow you’re right. It’s not talking about CO2 per MWh it’s talking about total CO2 per year. What a completely useless comparison.

Also the source of the C in the CO2 is important, rendering this comparison even more pointless.

The show has real Late Late Breakfast Show vibes. An 80’s BBC show where the public took part in more and more over the top stunts. In the end someone died and the show was cancelled 3 days later.

Not bullshit. They’re not talking about the heckle they’re talking about the 10 seconds of chanting at 7:18. Watch again. https://youtu.be/2soe8ml_weg?si=uJqnlGGNU4SF8im_

Projected they will win 410 in total.

326 required for overall majority.

652 seats - 410 Labour = 242 left for everyone else.

410 - 242 = majority of 158

43% of Google traffic is now ipv6 and steadily growing

https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

CGNAT is only a temporary band aid for reaching services that are yet to present themselves on IPV6. It’s relatively expensive to operate.

IpV6 might be largely pointless on a LAN, and sure NAT is fine there, but ipv6 already running large chunks of the world’s mobile infrastructure. It’s not going anywhere.

One thing the EU got right was reducing interchange fees to 0.5%. The ridiculous situation in the US where airlines have become credit card companies that happen to have planes is madness.

Folks might like kickbacks but they’re paying for them anyway, it’s just hidden in the price and subsidised by folks who don’t use these cards.

The US should follow the EU’s lead here.

Maybe, or maybe they realise how screwed they are and will just save some of the cash for a future election.

The thing with serverless is you’re paying for iowait. In a regular server, like an EC2 or Fargate instance, when one thread is waiting for a reply from a disk or network operation the server can do something else. With serverless you only have one thread so you’re paying for this time even though it’s not actually using any CPU.

While you’re paying for that time you can bet that CPU thread is busy servicing some other customer and also charging them.

I like serverless for it’s general reliability, it’s one less thing to worry about, and it is cheap when you start out thanks to generous free tiers, at scale it’s a more complex answer as whether it is good value or not.
