I also pronounced cyan like cayenne as a teen….
Except I was also cocky enough to think I was right and found out when I “corrected“ a classmate who was pronouncing it “wrong”.

Google isn’t the only tech giant that needs smashing into pieces, Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, all need to be broken up. The tech industry shouldn’t be dominated by a few companies.
After going nuclear against ad blockers, at some point google is going to introduce a new “feature” where YouTube uses AI with your phone’s camera to automatically pause videos when you look away from your phone.
Then they’ll make it so you have to buy a subscription to turn it off during ads.
I’m really hoping they’re a bunch of women in “republican” households that will secretly vote blue this election because of the clearly controlling misogynistic bullshit from the GOP, and the current polls just don’t show it because they won’t risk their family finding out punishing them or preventing them from voting.
I like this analogy in particular because it also explains how Vader might not have connected the dots that this was the same protocol and astrometric droids from his childhood.
When I was a kid I had an old apple IIe computer. An IT guy I knew gave me some parts for it that his company was discarding and I added them to my computer.
But if I were to see another apple II computer today, I would never assume that it was my exact computer from my childhood.
it’s not popular
The downvotes you’re getting disprove your assertion.
Oh please.
The evidence for Szabo is circumstantial at best. I’ll give you he has the skills and experience and was working on digital currency at the time.
But Szabo was just one of hundreds of people working on different ideas related to digital currency around the time Bitcoin was released.
And how many hundreds of people developed their own cryptocurrency after getting the idea from the Bitcoin whitepaper? Clearly he not the only “person on earth who had both the skills and experience”.
Not to mention Szabo has repeatedly denied being Satoshi.
Who tf wrote those requirements?
It seems pretty clear to me that they intended the Trump Bible to be the only one that fit all the specifications.
They’re was never any evidence of google’s wrongdoing, the accusation came from former MS edge developers:

Officially Google denied it:

You may be right, this could have been MS couldn’t make a better browser and pulled the plug, and the devs just blamed google.
I’m not defending Microsoft… but if we’re going to go after a tech company for leveraging their other assets to give themselves an unfair advantage can we also go after Google?
In the first releases of Edge, Microsoft tried to build a new web browser from scratch to compete with Google Chrome. By google kept changing YouTube’s code so that videos would playback janky on Edge. Microsoft eventually gave up trying to fix for YouTubes ongoing changes and now Edge is based on Chromium (the same open source web browser maintained by Google, that chrome os built on). Google leveraged YouTube to prevent completion from Edge.
And now Google is blocking ad blocking extensions so that users are forced to see more google ads in their browser.
Microsoft’s has leveraged their unfair advantage to get a little over 5% market share.
Google’s leveraged their unfair advantage to get 66% of the market.
Both companies need a hard smack down, but I want to see Google taken down too.
Just beware, sometimes the AI suggestions are scary good, some times they’re batshit crazy.
Just because AI suggests it, doesn’t mean it’s something you should use or learn from.
For over a century, the standard way we’ve been disposing of hazardous materials that can’t be easily recycled is to permanently bury it. We’re doing it with thousands of tonnes of hazardous materials daily.
A nuclear power plant only generates about 3 cubic meters of hazardous nuclear waste per year.
At the typical sizes we’re currently building them, you need 50-100 solar or wind farms to match the electricity output of a single nuclear reactor.
When we eventually dispose of the solar panels from those farms we literally end up with more toxic waste in heavy metals like cadmium than the nuclear power plant produced.
No solution is perfect.
But contrary to the propaganda, nuclear is one of our cleanest options.
