All of which found the format capable of "driving upper funnel results"
Is that what we're calling "stuff it up your arse" sentiment these days?

a cunning smart card based system for ensuring that tower crane operators could only operate cranes within parameters defined by their level of training and certification.
That's an inherent problem of automated enforcement; there's always some means of defeating it if determined enough.
When it comes to providing 'additional protections' to what already exists it's a different matter.
It's the difference between protecting others and protecting people from themselves.
I think it's because the public appears, to a large degree, to have bought into the hype. Manufacturers can see money to be had so are simply encouraging on-going buy-in to the hype, may even have fallen for the hype themselves.
For most prior 'must have' nonsense there have always been plenty of naysayers stepping up to say why it's bullshit and they aren't buying it, in concept or with cash. Currently they aren't being seen nor heard by the public.
Unless current 'AI' proves itself I expect people will eventually come to the conclusion it's not as good as they imagined it would be and will eventually be seen as just another over-rated fad.
"240/4 could be added to those pools to help “large private Internets that require more address space than is available in the private use address space designated by [RFC1918] during the dual stack transition to IPv6."
Perhaps I am missing some nuance but large private internets can use 10.*.*.* - That provides nearly 17 million unique addresses.
"Analysis of global internet traffic suggests Amazon and Verizon Business use it internally, too."
Does it still count as internal use when it is global internet traffic?
Not having a 90 minute commute each way has done wonders for my blood pressure.
I can't disagree but I do miss listening to CDs during the journey. I know I could power-up the Hi-Fi any time I want but it's just not the same. So not the same I think it's been over a decade since I listened to any recorded music.
I'm one of those lucky ones who works permanently from home. The only real downside is it's a bit like doing jail time if you are single and don't ensure you have a decent social life. On the plus side I hardly noticed the pandemic restrictions.
The other thing I miss is calling other drivers "wankers". But there are enough opportunities for that as a pedestrian. Or get some strong ale in and just shout in the local park.
I guess it won't be long before the supermarkets are networked with government databases so suspected miscreants can be welcomed as they step out of the store by armed police.
Insert something about "thinking of the children", "drugs", "terrorists", "immigrants" or whatever here ...
So why wasn't the infinite ping-pong of updates not noticed during testing?
I fell into the same trap when I was developing proof of concept code for a mesh network where packets were broadcast to systems which broadcast those onwards and I soon experienced the network flood I had neglected to consider. But it was immediately obvious what I had unwittingly done, what I had overlooked.
But why, on flippin’ earth, has it taken this long to become the MEGA story that it always was?
I guess it's like everything else which never breaks through to collective public consciousness.
I am quite surprised the ITV drama has finally succeeded in making the public aware of what many others have known for years, but am of course extremely glad it has.
The real question is how people can remain so ignorant of, or turn a blind eye to, things they really should be aware of, should have an interest in, have an informed opinion upon.
"All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to stand by and do nothing" - or something like that.
If I send my fully automatic car to pick up the kids from school, I should be just as responsible.
If I am fortunate enough to be able to employ a chauffeur go pick up my kids I don't see why I should be responsible for the crimes they choose to indulge in while doing that.
Regardless of whether my chauffeur is a sack of meat or a box of electronics.
Hard to remember but I am eternally grateful to coders who report "use --help" rather than give me what I want when I use -h, especially when not specifying arguments gives me the help I was after anyway.
It's whether the second argument, ala "npm install", is a command or an option which mostly catches me out these days.
As to getting re-elected, I think only the Dunning-Kruger wing of the party believes that's remotely possible.
And me, and others who fear that Starmer will be deemed such a damp squib that voters splitting between Labour, Lib Dems and Greens will allow the tory scum to win the day.
Every party which gets elected with more voting against them than for inevitably claims a mandate, pretends "the will of the people" is behind them and supports whatever the party decides than what voters voted for, and that nonsense is going to continue while we retain the first past the post system instead of some better from of democracy.
Throwing the switch is always a stressful moment even when I have checked, double checked, triple checked, that it's not all going to end in a puff of smoke, have had others run their own checks.
He was lucky it didn't become another reminder of why it's never a good idea to have people working long hours, doing double shifts, being put under intense pressure to meet deadlines.
Raspberry Pi's recommendation to switch to X11 or even stay with their Bullseye release for some problems encountered isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of Wayland.
I can accept all the white paper reports that Wayland is better than X11 in any number of ways. That it doesn't yet do what X11 can do remains a huge obstacle for me.
Calista doesn't want to spend months in jail waiting for her trial and taking her chances with the U.S. judicial system
Maybe she'll choose to be a martyr to the cause. Or perhaps she'll just set up bed in RISC-V's Switzerland board room and wait for the extradition request to come in, laugh along with the rest of us at whatever ludicrous grounds America offers to support that.
But even sending her to Guantanamo and water-boarding her day in and day out won't sop RISC-V being a thing.
America increasingly seems to be more than one sandwich short of a picnic.
"Dismissed all copyright violation claims made by McKernan and Ortiz since neither of them registered their work with the US Copyright Office"
I always thought the Berne Convention provided Copyright Protection at the instant of the work's creation, that there was no explicit need to register a work to secure Copyright Protection.
Is this just another case of 'Welcome to America'?
I'm not sure how this news means RISC-V isn't going to be amazing.
That SiFive have decided to shift their view of where their future lies doesn't affect the future of RISC-V itself. There are other companies out there working on RISC-V, and likely more to come, so there should be plenty of opportunities for those fired and others who have an interest in it.
Good for Chinese companies.
It certainly does seem there is $5 billion waiting to be handed to those who can come up with home-grown goods
And those wanting those chips might even be inclined to throw wads of R&D money in their direction to make it happen rather than go without. And then there's the long-term benefit of being a supplier of preference once they've done it. Plus the benefit for China, its businesses and citizens, that the money stays in the local economy not mailed to America.
I do hope China remembers to send the US a Christmas "thank you" card.
Not just defeating the restrictions, but making them ineffective ever after, while boosting local skills, knowledge and experience, and possibly even giving China the technological advantage which they too can control.
True, it will cost, but what price would anyone put on having sovereignty, not being beholden to America and her anti-competitive practices?
For a little bit more they could deliver under cost and potentially wipe out American competitors.
I don't think China is going to be at all worried. America should be.
I have immense difficulty understanding why anybody would want to take the language and adapt it to run server side.
If you ignore all the stuff which lets it interact with web pages in a browser it's really Just Another Programming Language (TM), one which looks a bit like C but simpler to use because of dynamic typing, not hard to get to grips with and use at all.
And that's what some people wanting to program microcontrollers are looking for.
Utterly dynamic languages are great for geniuses who can hold the entire context of a codebase in their heads at once.
And people who only write short and simple code, and that's what many using the Pico, Pico W and other RP2040 boards will be doing. It's a moderately powerful device, more than a micro but not a PC, perfect for tinkerers and beginners.
Kaluma isn't that new as I have an installation for the Pico on my PC dated 2021. I am sure it has been improved, and I don't mind it getting promotion.
As it was some years ago when I tried it I can't say much more than it seemed to work when I tested it back then.
I went in a different direction but if people want to use JavaScript then good luck to them. Each to their own. The more makers the better.
Setting aside advertising itself, telling an advertiser only that "the person viewing this page likes camping, sheep and condoms" is a lot less revealing than what can be had with cookies so I can see where Google are coming from.
And, having witnessed more than once the EFF pushing hyperbolic 'the sky is falling' nonsense, they no longer have the credibility they once had.
So, hard to say which side I'm on without more research.
Everybody else I met had some other views
The worse of which was "it doesn't do video editing well". Unfortunately, being unable to do what they were never intended to do, pressure was applied to turn notebooks into things they were never meant to be which were effectively killed off for the audience who wanted what notebooks offered.
I have had so few problems with VoIP that I can't criticise it. But I do worry what will happen when, not just the network goes down, but the cell towers as well.
That's when we will discover how fucked we are. Has any pilot programme actually tested that scenario? I doubt it.
In know what the law says about not driving faster than you can see/react
Never drive faster than your Guardian Angel can fly has served me well.
Probably wouldn't have helped here as I would have been looking over my shoulder trying to figure out what the fuck she was up to as I went over the edge of the missing bridge.
That would be the ground floor of a British Rail signal box where they racked the computers. Axle dust gets everywhere and there's a lot of it when you are track-side, have a lot of axles on a train, have a lot of trains, all slowing down as they pass, and the door is wedged open to let some fresh air in.
Not to worry U.S. you are still the world champs at blackmail. (do as we say or... sanctions)
I would suggest not. The trick with sanctions is to make it a better option to comply than not. That usually rests upon complying or going it alone, with going it alone having big risks and huge costs. It's often pragmatic to suck it up and comply.
But cutting someone off shifts the choice to going without or going it alone. Which is a no-brainer and inevitably forces acceptance of those risks and costs.
It staggers me that America would walk this path, force China into upping her game.
