This is fucking hilarious. One of the most legitimataly funny XKCDs I’ve seen.
It’s mostly landing/takeoff records. Big airports have takeoff and landing fees and would keep records such as this for accounting and legal reasons. Being a major airport like LAX means it’s probably mostly private/commercial jets, but also plenty of small time hobbyist aviators are probably wrapped up in this, and would be the only victim here ( general aviation pilots tend to use smaller, local airports but still on occasion hit the big ones).
You apparently haven’t tried calling local government agencies in mid-size cities, or a good chunk of airlines. It’s frustrating and I welcome anything that can help.
Jesus christ 3rd graders with phones.
Or a movement to get people off whatsapp and into signal.
Honestly the 1.2 TB I’m the early 90s is an insanely impressive figure to me. I mean in that era a gigabyte seemed like an obscene amount of data, the interat ran at less than 56 kbps, and I don’t think I had a 1GB drive in my hime PC until almost the turn of the millennium. Sending and storing that much from venus is a huge accomplishment.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say I think this is done to prevent anticompetitive issues. If Google were to profit off of both its own product (youtube / yt music) and also require its competitors to pay it a % of revenue, it would potentially open them up to more anticompetitive lawsuits.
Just for clarity, they already switched protocols (Manifest v3), they just have continued to support the old format (v2) that allows unlock origin to work. They are discontinuing support for v2 next year.
Wow really? I’ve never heard of a CEO not getting options.
Sam probably still controls a ton of shares, so I think effectively this would give them >50% of shares as long as they are partnering.
Google could be broken up into
MS
If those had to all survive independently and couldn’t leech off profits of the parent organization we could have true competition. Instead you just need one super-profitable arm of a company than loss-lead your way into other verticals and out-compete everyone else because you don’t have to turn a profit, at least while the competition is still clinging on.
Hopefully it’s a positive feedback loop situation here. More nebula subscribers-> more revenue -> more creators -> more subscribers. It’s good that it’s owned and ran by some creators so hopefully they stay true to their cause here.
They were awesome, but as it common at these compnaies when the CEO driving a lot of these changes left, they brought in some grey-hair bean counter who has been slowly rolling shitty-change onto shitty change. I really loved them when I switched form Verizon around ~2015 but I’m now starting to look at other optoins. Google Fi is currently the top of my list but we’ll see.
That is some nice sand for what appears to be a lake or river or something.
It seems like the will respect TLS, so in theory even if it failed and someone was able to intercept the request at the relay, they wouldn’t have access to the data. That being said"Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" is becoming more popular as people anticipate quantum computing may be able to crack these encryptions in bulk.
Unfortunately I don’t think any of the new electric car manufacturers are unionized. So a lot of these people would lose union gigs and end up with less pay/benefits at a non-union shop. Sire they could unionized again but that’s it’s own battle just to get back to where they started.
The only thing missing from hotels is a private common area for groups. If they had more hotels with 2/3 bedrooms around a living space I would never airbnb again.
Is there a link here I’m missing? I have am old steam link but I’d love to get 4k HDr over it.
It depends on how you define “the USA”. If you mean the people of this country, then absolutely they are working against us. If you mean the people with loads and loads of money, then no, they are working as hard as they fucking can for them.
