If I’m not mistaken the overwhelming majority of elons wealth is in company stock (including his other companies, not just Tesla)

It might need to fall pretty damn low for him to be able to afford all outstanding shares.

Unanimously

While I think ‘deepfake porn is bad’ is pretty uncontroversial, I’m surprised not one senator decided to vote nay just to spite AOC.

The stylus on a surface pro 7 uses one.

Computers are dumb and need to be told how to take the data of an image (stored as a long series of 1s and 0s in memory) and draw it on the screen so you can see it. The people writing the software to do that needed an image to test with, just to make sure everything was working right.

Either because they were a bunch of lonely geeks in the 70s or they didn’t have any other good photos to scan in, they used a headshot of a PlayBoy model. They couldn’t have known that it would effectively become one of the first digital memes, meaning it’s still semi-frequently used by graphics programmers (professionals and enthusiasts).

I can’t claim to speak on the model’s motives, but it’s not hard to imagine that having their headshot used in perpetuity without consent would make someone uncomfortable.

I wonder who’s fault that is fucking BlackRock

Many parts of the Internet has become functionally unusable without one. And given online advertising’s history as a vector for malware, as blockers are just the sensible choice.

Props to him for talking about it. A lot of people get too embarrassed to tell anyone they got scammed. The reality is that phishing works on a ton of people and we should avoid shaming the victims. Everyone’s acts like they’re a digital security expert until their credit card gets stolen.

It’s a credit card, they don’t typically have pins like debit cards do. They do have a 3 digit CVC code on the back, but 3 digits is pretty easy to get just by brute force guessing.

I would guess you could use a regular tool for breaking a normal window, then cut through the plastic with a sturdy knife. Not great to need two tools in an emergency though, and keeping a combat knife in your glove box might raise some eyebrows.

Unfortunately, being difficult to get through is the whole point

Laminated, not just tempered. There’s a strong layer of plastic inside the window. Even if you shatter the glass you still can’t get out.

Opaque thorax

It’s not engineering either. Or art. It’s only barely writing, in an overly literal sense.

I wrote out my turn signal stalk tacking across lanes driving up a headwind the other day. 0/10.

I have also killed off my Netflix subscription for good

“choosing”

I’ve been in a restroom and had the lights turn off on me because a sensor didn’t detect someone was still I the room. I’d bet good money I’m not the only one. Sensors, presently, are either invasive or inaccurate. Or both.

Roughly 200-250 years depending on whether you start counting at declaration of independence, articles of confederation, or ratification of the constitution.

Yeah. Sure.

They are part of the problem too.

They’re also literally a truck with a roof over the bed.
