Newsweek was unable to independently verify at the time of publication whether the people on the boat were from the antifa movement.

Oh, fuck off. I'm unable to independently verify whether the people on the boat were Newsweek employees.

Well they're still blowing up kids with these things so idk if it's the most brilliant targeting technique

I recall this recent quote from him at Bedminster when asked about his campaign strategy: "All I have to do is define her as a Communist or a Socialist or say she will destroy America."

I think there's different meanings in different contexts. You don't want to be the "creepy weirdo" kind of weird, but then there are people who are into weird art or have weird kinks and they are great

Win or lose, I'm not worried about how it looks in hindsight. The way I see it is we're doing the best we can with the information we have at this time. It wasn't looking good for him.

The effects of this change will also be much bigger than this election alone. It's a jump-start in rebuilding the identity of the party into something that might actually interest voters.

Maybe in the distant pre-cloud past, when sysadmins were still a thing, you'd expect a bigger staff to be needed to manage a bigger datacenter.

But a few devs who know how to spin up a thing with auto-scaling can accomplish a lot

It seems like such a lazy non-solution. Essentially telling shooters "Hey, from now on, you can only use ALL THE OTHER GUNS" as if that solves something.

Unless there's some agreement / licensing thing prohibiting it, and considering that lyrics don't change, they should be able to do some caching for a total of 1 API call per song

Wonder what the percent of AI datasets being propaganda is

I'm glad they're adding support, but I also feel like this is a hard one to sell to the general public. If it creates a better experience, word will get around about it, but going on stage and talking at length about how there's a new messaging protocol would have been a challenge for non-technical viewers

I just read they decided to default it to off. They should remove it entirely imo, but with this move, it costs IT departments $0 and 0 hours of their time to worry about.

I think business + government + education usage is more important for them than personal, and as long as this costs them nothing, I doubt it makes a dent in anyone's plans. Could have been an apocalypse if defaulted to on though.
