The ruling will have enormous impacts for transgender residents in the state.

For everyone. Everyone benefits when the individual human rights of anyone are protected, shielded, affirmed against an all-out assault by bigots.

But yeah, especially for transgender residents.

One user, Latin script only = 675 Euro?

All in favor of mandating by law that devices rendered obsolete by an update must have their boot loader unlocked, raise your hands!

This is probably the tenth generation of event betting sites I have witnessed. There are so many of them because they all make the same mistake: they allow all sorts of bets, and then eventually something horrific happens, it turns out someone made big money on it, and the whole thing is shut down.

One day, one of those sites will rise up and it won’t allow betting on human misery and destruction, and maybe it’ll stick around.

The gold Germany repatriated years ago was not the gold they stored. I would safely assume Germany’s gold is not there any longer, and all Germany can get is replacement gold of the same amount and quality (hopefully).

If I were a German central banker, I’d demand it back right now. it’s safer in Frankfurt than in New York for sure.

The main issue with solar and wind is energy storage. If you have backup power through nuclear, then you can reduce storage quantities significantly.

At that point, the question is whether you want to start building infrastructure to procure fissile material or to build enormous batteries. Either one needs a ton of resources not readily available in the EU, in both cases you don’t need a lot of supply once the initial build is complete.

That could all change when Na battery chemistry becomes readily available, or is fusion power comes online.

The argument about the amount of time it takes to build (a) vs (b) is sort of moot, because the power generated is going to be used, no matter how much time it takes. It’s not like we are going to use less electricity in an electrified future, no?

Great comment! Tiny observation:

ICE is paid to hurt […] the economy in general

ICE is paid to hurt Democrat cities mostly, and those that didn’t pledge allegiance to the right person. If their methods had been applied in general, there would be a lot of MAGA malcontent.

I sadly know several people for whom ChatGPT has become the go-to portal for all things online.

I would assume there is going to eventually be an even split: what is not MacOS, which has different dynamics, is going to be Linux variants at home, and Windows in corporate settings. Linux will continue to dominate the server and device markets.

My assumptions are based on flows of money. There is just not a lot of money for Microsoft in OS development for home computers at a time when they are making their money mostly with subscriptions they can easily move online.

Posturing before the Republican primary runoff.

It’s disgusting that this man issues an opinion like this. It’s worse that some Texas voters would prefer him because of this B.S. The party of limited government, of parental rights, of individual responsibility: right there at the forefront of telling people who they can be, against their own will, that of their parents, and that of medical professionals.

Hate to say it, but when you vibe code your service with billions of users and fire everybody that knows how it works, you’ll have frequent outages.

It is way easier and quicker to make money by destroying a business than by building one up. It has negative societal value, so the people should prevent that from happening. It’s also easy to do: introduce a sales tax on stocks held less than a specific amount of time, like two or five years. That forces stock owners to think about the need to keep the company floating for years or pay taxes.

It’s not an untested theory: taxes on stock sales have existed forever, until the Reagan administration abolished them. We could see the results immediately in a huge wave of junk bond hostile takeovers that almost defined the 80s, financially.

Go, BentoPDF! A shame this stuff cost you time and energy better spent elsewhere, but it’s just a small hiccup for a project with legs!

Is it time to reduce tuition and other fees? Of course not! It’s time to lower admission standards!

55% of transgender respondents have taken steps to be less visible as an LGBTQ person in their community, such as at work or school

It is absolutely disgusting that some people have to be afraid of existing. You’d think whatever the rhetoric, at least personal safety for everyone would be guaranteed by a society that considers itself “advanced”

Quick note: this is not about Renee Good being murdered, it’s about the fascist vlogger that “exposed” Somali childcare “fraud.”

That was a fun read! But to a big corporation, $18k is not a lot of money and it’s not like it hurts anyone there to pay that much, but it did one developer a lot of good.

An Arizona man was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison and ordered to pay more than $452 million in restitution for conspiring to defraud Medicare and other federal health care benefit programs of more than $1 billion

I hope the incoming Presidential Pardon doesn’t cost him more than 10% of the restitution. /s

“We assumed the technology was further along than it actually was,” one executive said privately, reflecting a growing recognition that AI performance in controlled demonstrations did not translate cleanly into real-world customer environments.

Just this once I’d like to see the C-suite take personal consequences. Their overconfidence was based simply on wishful thinking, and if there is one company that should know better than trusting a sales demo, it’s Salesforce.

I wish more post-mortems were as focused on information and self-criticism as this.
