Given the rumours surrounding the CEO of Twitter, and how he may have pushed for his account to be prioritised because the algorithm knocked it down for being blocked so much, this feature doesn’t seem like it has long for the world, unless he makes them add an exception for him.

Assuming that they went out to look for it, and didn’t just poke google with (“sqlite hacked my computer”) until they found a phone number.

If they had gotten the phone number for a company called Super Queasy Lite and Easy/SQLitE instead of the developers, the company might well have received the calls instead.

That’s… it? You can get knighted for being “fairly good” at your job for half a decade, and then quitting?

Yes. Knighthood is generally up to the whims of the monarch. Although to make it there, it’s generally expected you have an achievement significant enough to be befitting of one.

But from what I recall, there’s little stopping his majesty from conferring a knighthood onto Chief Mouser Larry for his research into the napping suitability of 10 Downing Street’s furniture, if he wanted to do that.

Is there a Wrong Dishonourable title?

I don’t know, it kind of makes sense, since Kagi can tailor itself to a specific audience, whereas something big like Google will just make a generalised slop that is able to be used by anyone, but isn’t to anyone’s particular tastes.

It can depend on your particular part of the tech-sphere. I barely saw anything about either of those, because I wasn’t all that interested in AI things, and didn’t really follow the kind of people who would talk about it. At most, it was a quick flash in the pan before it was overshadowed by other news.

China is already trying quite hard with its Great Firewall. We don’t need to make their job easier for them.

Crack enough eggs, and you won’t have any left for the omelette.

Wrong battery. You’re thinking the high-voltage EV battery, but in this case, it was the 12V lead-acid accessory battery that died. Normally, that would be charged from the high voltage battery, if the car was running.

In this case, it might just have been bad luck with a worn-out battery.

The toddler was strapped into the seat at the time, so chances are that they would not be able to find and open the door that way anyhow.

I don’t think that’s how you’re meant to use a WHERE.

It even has questionably-helpful mysterious blinky lights at the bottom right which may or may not do anything useful.

I think they’d be more likely to say homosexuality is illogical and repress it. Could make an interesting plot point.

The converse is that making a specific distinction based on sexuality like that is also illogical in what is supposedly the enlightened 24th century Federation.

They’re not the ancients of the 21st century, who would be so concerned with such primitive things.

The internet archive plans to appeal the ruling, so the fight is hardly over at this juncture.

Would be interesting to see where it goes.

One of the reasons why the 1/3rd pound burger lost to the 1/4 pound burger, was because people saw the 1/4, and thought that the quarter-pound was larger for some inexplicable reason.

I would be very surprised if there wasn’t at least some marketing suggestion focused around “number that looks big is better”.

Anyone know how skipping breakfast contributes? It seems like it would do the opposite.

Honestly, after Zora became sapient, it seems like a cruelty to have her just sit around in deep space.

In Calypso, this was less of an issue, because of the implication that Discovery became sapient after centuries of floating about, developing sapience as part of that time, but Zora would be sapient from the get-go, and leaving a sapient being adrift and alone for Millennia seems like fairly unethical.

Without knowing how, not really. If it’s a massive multi-device botnet, like Mirai, for example, that’s millions of indvidual devices across millions of addresses, so it isn’t so simple as just blocking a domain. Trying to block all of them might well just block legitimate users.

Request limits also wouldn’t work if it’s millions of devices making a few requests at once, and an overall limit would have a similar locking-out effect as blocking everything. Especially if the DDoS is taking up most/all of that limit.
