If you think that international diplomacy between nation states is like handling kids then you’re not a veteran diplomat either.
Reuters just regurgitating investor-bait because they have no domain expertise. Maybe Reuters journalists should be getting some training from experts too.
I’m no “veteran diplomat” but in my experience it is only the people without real power who make threats. When you have power, you don’t need to make threats. You just respond to events with whatever proportionate response is necessary and within your capability. You don’t need to provide a preview of what those responses will be.
Setting “red lines” looks to me like weakness because it is essentially a plea to the other side not to do those things that you don’t want them to do, and it invites them to push up to those red lines, do anything but, and test their boundaries to test your commitment to them.
Halt and Catch Fire
You clicked the tree somewhere and it would tell you either to try again, or you would win something. I think most people who won got $5 and a monkey plush toy. I’m not sure anyone ever won the jackpot. You could just click over and over again trying to remember where you had previously clicked, like a treasure hunt. Meanwhile they’re showing banner ads on the page.
It worked using the ismap
attribute on the image which tells the browser to add the x,y coordinates of the user’s click to the link when fetching the result.
Does anyone remember the TreeLoot.com MoneyTree? It existed from 1998-2004 and looked like this:
I’m all in favor of going back to the old internet, but… not this.
Isn’t it the Cloudflare bot detection page that says “Just a moment” (… while we check that you’re human)?
It’s probably because lemmy servers are constantly loading a bunch of websites to generate previews and Cloudflare decides that those clients look like bots.
Intel’s assets are worth more than Intel’s market cap. That’s how badly they’re doing in the stockmarket, and also shows you how market cap is a fairly irrelevant indicator of a company’s value.
The amount of advertising for this tool in recent times is starting to look a lot like astroturfing.
Not my post btw, just sharing the link :)
Sorry for the reddit link, I don’t know of a mirror. This was posted just today, running on an EeePC:
I used Ubuntu from version 8.04 to 18.04 and not once did I have a successful upgrade between major versions. There is always something that gets broken to the point that a reinstall is necessary.
they can’t be jammed the way radio can.
I wonder how well these satellite laser links do with various types of cloud cover.
By repeating their rhetoric, even as a joke, it’s just giving oxygen to people who don’t deserve any form of publicity whatsoever. It would be better not to reference these batshit-insane conspiracy theories and then perhaps they would die more quickly.
This story is about French/space/communications/technology. Not American/politics/racist/conspiracy. Not one genre overlap, so there’s no reason to even bring it up here. Maybe leave these jokes to the American politics threads.
(Federated) email didn’t survive. It got completely subsumed by the major providers who now have control over everything email related. It’s now impossible to run your own email server since none of the major providers will deliver your email without your mail server having first built a reputation.
The fediverse analogy would be if 99.9999% of users were on Threads and you couldn’t interact with any of those users from any of the small independent fediverse servers. Frankly, that’s exactly what it looks like is happening.
Thanks! I was racking my brain trying to think of where I knew it from, and after seeing the page that you linked I’m almost certain that it’s After Burner that is causing my brain to trigger the 80s association.
You can tell just from the font that this book is from the 80s
This is more a coincidence of the status quo rather than a consequence of an inherent correlation between economic output and geopolitical power.
