400kbps would be slow as hell, for all of those use cases. Video would be unusable, but other stuff would still be insanely slow with all the bloat in modern websites and tracking crap in apps.

Carbon Removal Purchases

I read that and immediately figured it was just corporate green-washing. Then read this on cdr.fyi , which basically confirms it.

2.7% of purchases have been delivered

I assume this "market" is just a way for corpos to get tax incentives, since the "demand" (purchases) will never, ever catch up with "supply" (actually removing carbon).

The owners get a cut either way. The real question is why are these "well timed" bets not being investigated by the SEC as insider trading? It's either unlicensed/illegal gambling, or it's securities trading. It can't be neither, and it seems like the grey area is the only reason this company is allowed to exist.

I do the same thing

This is the part where Israel picks up the bombing/keeps going, so Iran retaliates, and the US then swoops back in to "defend Israel from unprovoked attacks".

If you're not using the ready-bake ones, you can just cut the par-cooked noodles to fit.

Unfortunately, the wait time to receive one of these visas is often more than 15 years.

The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, has defended the deportations, arguing that crime victims can return later if their visas are eventually approved.

So if you're still alive in 15 years, let us know. Also, we haven't heard from you, so you need to restart the process.

Unlikely, without regulation against this. Fines are just a cost of business, since they are never, ever costly enough. Either a true penalty fine, or executives in prison, or both, are the only response to ensure change, here.

But the second element is that this is an RGB-backlit mini-LED TV, and Hisense claims that it should be able to hit over 100% of the BT.2020 pro color space, and is also Pantone validated (though the latter doesn't mean too much — Hisense's more affordable TVs have this rating too).

How does something "hit over 100%"?

I wish I could find somewhere that made real FL-41 clip-ons. I loved my Theraspecs sunglasses when I wore contact lenses, but in regular glasses, I can't get that same benefit. I'm not willing to buy two pair so I can have one with and one without, because they want you to send your glasses to them for coating.

EDIT: To OP, yes, they do really well at reducing blue light, which is one of the more common triggers for photophobia-related issues like migraines.

EDIT 2: If anyone has tried the lenses from Somnilight, I'd love to hear unbiased feedback. They apparently do sell clip-ons, unlike Theraspecs, for way less money, too.

I'm downvoting this purely because of how extensively the title is sane-washing the actual statement.

What Trump actually said on his propaganda site:

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

 

I think this community is appropriate for this topic, since this solution is being rolled out to combat AI scraping of websites.

I don't really understand why the collective agreement is "it is better than captchas would be", when you didn't need to pass a captcha just to view a website in the first place. Why are people not more pissed off about every website suddenly requiring this laggy, sometimes actually a captcha anyways (checkbox to prove you are human) solution slowing down visits to websites?

And why can't CloudFlare offer some way for us lowly non-AI's to prove we're human, once, for our entire web experience, versus on. every. damned. website. one. at. a. time?

I counted, and I hit this turnstile solution on 28 website visits today, and sometimes more than once on the same site. That's minutes of my life I don't get back, and likely hours to days over the course of a year.

There has to be a better way...
