The problem is that those very same private companies are trying really hard to ban the government from providing the same data for free to the general public, because it would be "unfair competition". They get it for…
Google uses barely any weather data. Perhaps some tornado and wildfire tracking for its datacenters, but that's about it. The vast majority of its potential use comes from Android users, which is... the general public.…
Why? Plenty of web APIs have been redesigned since then. Nobody is going to stop the browser makers from introducing an alternative and deprecating the old one for removal 25 years from now. If they can remove <blink>…
Isn't it obvious? There's way more profit in building a Torment Nexus.
What gives them the right to install and operate those cameras? I would have assumed that the license for placing them on public property was inherently linked to the services they provided to the local government. But…
It isn't meaningless, it gives a (very) rough estimate of how the general population feels about it. Coming in third in a two-person poll is... quite rough. You also have to keep in mind that it isn't about Clacton. It…
That would've given Farage the "him vs The Establishment" fight he is looking for, though. Leaving it to the Count robs him of that.
His zealots are already seen asking where the Count is "getting his money from", and implying that he is an "establishment deep-state plant". But he's a bin, and it's his seventh election. You can't exactly ask…
They are playing, though! If Farage wins, things continue exactly as they were: Farage the MP of Clacton, being investigated for undeclared financial gifts. With no serious counter-candidates, even getting 99% of the…
That's just the thing: Farage tried to create an "underdog vs the establishment" scenario where his corruption charged could be ignored because of "the voice of the people", but right now the absolute best he could hope…
His face isn't covered, his face is a bin. I would've thought the whole "Count Binface" made that pretty clear...
He's called Count Binface for a reason: he isn't wearing a hat, that's just his face!
This isn't very surprising. The vast majority of slaves went to the New World, so that's where most of its effects were felt. Of the 12.5M people kidnapped from Africa, only ~9000 went to the Old World. It just wasn't…

Not quite. With a time sync your clock will jump, with a leap second it'll experience a minute with 59 or 61 seconds.
Xinjiang is well-known for effectively operating in two timezones at once, with part of the population mostly operating on +6 and part on +8.
Every 50 or 100 years is possibly the worst way of dealing with it. You're essentially making it a repeating Y2K / Y2038 problem. Doing it that rarely means most people will never see it happen in their professional…
DST cancels itself out, leap seconds don't. And sure, being off by a few minutes isn't a big deal, but it gets really annoying for day-to-day life when it is off by a few hours. Suddenly your "midnight" is happening at…
> That’s why Anubis does an up front challenge and then you’re good for a while. It’s a really low cost for the scrapers. Except that doing hundreds of requests from the same IP makes it pretty trivial to detect…
How is that not a massive GDPR violation?
Sure, but end users as a group still have a significant amount of RAM. Even on a low-specced machine you can afford to have the currently-active website tab consume a few hundreds of megabytes of RAM. It was mostly…
The success of the ongoing Anubis rollout proves the opposite. People are used to slowly-loading websites - the rise of garbage SPAs has seen to that. Staring at a spinner for a second every once in a while is not an…
The most annoying part is that a lot of GPS gear automatically "corrects" to UTC without giving clear indication of it. Things would'be been fine if the standard was to explicitly sent out TAI timestamps, with a leap…
> that applies the world over It does not. Plenty of countries have functioning labor laws preventing you from being fired for your religious or political opinions.
The physical structure is completely different. Just compare DRAM ([0]) with compute ([1]). As a result, the production process is completely different. If you want to know more, the Asianometry youtube channel has some…
