The true story<\/a> — as best I can remember — of the origin of Mosaic and Netscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve released a new dataset, Newswire https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2406.09490<\/a> 2.7M unique newswires reproduced 32M+ times over a century (1878-1977). Articles<\/a> have location and topic tags and person ids (from Wikipedia). Fun fact: see the prohibition related crime spike in the 1920s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foreigners make up 8% of the French population but account for 24% of prison inmates<\/a>. They committed 77% of rapes in Paris<\/a>, 54% of street crimes in Nice<\/a>and 40% of vehicle thefts, and 38% of burglaries and 31% of muggings<\/a> across France. And in recent months, the stark reality of mass immigration<\/a>, the glaring lack of social integration, and, to be blunt, what happens when Western nations import people who hate who we are has been further highlighted by a series of shocking atrocities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probability of losing<\/a> per passenger<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you take a walk around Washington or a Western European capital today, there is no feeling of looming catastrophe<\/a>. The threats are too complex, with many moving pieces and overlapping layers of risk adding up to a larger danger that is less obvious. People can be forgiven for not seeing the cloud hanging over them, for feeling that all is well \u2014 even as in Eastern Europe they are digging in for war. But this complacency is itself part of the problem, making the threat more difficult to foresee, to manage, or, potentially, to avert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The terms of the deal show that Volkswagen is paying $1 billion by the end of the year to acquire Rivian stock<\/a>. Half of this sum is locked at a Rivian stock price of $10.84 per share, which was likely the price when the deal was inked. The rest will reflect the share price closer to the deal completion date but not earlier than December 1, 2024. Even if the stock skyrockets by then, Volkswagen is projected to become Rivian’s second-largest shareholder, behind Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, Mickey entering the public domain<\/a> brings up the question: what cartoon characters enter the public domain next? Below is a list of 10 major cartoon characters entering the public domain over the next decade, with the year they enter the public domain in parentheses. Note these are the earliest versions of the characters entering public domain; like \u201cSteamboat Willie\u201d Mickey, they likely won\u2019t have most of their familiar modern aspects. (So while you can use 1938 Superman when he enters public domain, you\u2019ll have to wait another two decades before you can show or mention his cousin, Supergirl.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But recently they\u2019ve deteriorated further<\/a>, mostly due to Jill Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also contains a project named Protego ( wikileaks.org\/vault7\/#Protego ) which is not a malware<\/a> but a missile control system, that can, if used in a specific way, can cause a missile launch to fail.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time you transact in property, you will notice a variety of ticky-tack transactional frictions<\/a> added to a (hopefully) itemized list. The largest, by a substantial margin, are agent commissions, which have come under substantial<\/a>scrutiny<\/a> for their set-by-a-disciplined-cartel character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common knowledge<\/a> is why coronations and executions are held in public \u2013 not so a crowd can see the new king or the hanged man, but so a crowd can see a crowd seeing the new king or the hanged man. Common knowledge is why sitcoms have laugh tracks, why American Idol<\/em> has a live studio audience, and why professional sports teams pipe in crowd noise. Common knowledge is why the Egyptian government fell in 2011 after a televised protest in Tahrir Square, why the Romanian government fell in 1989 after a televised protest in Palace Square, and why the Chinese government will arrest you today if you distribute pictures of a 35-year-old protest in Tiananmen Square. Common knowledge is why inflation has been non-transitory and persistent<\/a>, why the US withdrawal from Afghanistan collapsed into a fiasco<\/a>, and why the US response to Covid was so heavy-handed and ineffective<\/a>. Common knowledge is why the 2024 Biden\/Harris campaign has collapsed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The historical left is in full meltdown<\/a>…. They don\u2019t understand that the MAGA movement, as it gets momentum and builds, is moving much farther to the right than President Trump. They will look back fondly at Donald Trump. They\u2019ll ask: Where\u2019s Trump when we need him?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conceptually the Portable Data Transmitter is essentially a 5G Xperia phone that can only send and receive data, rather than making phone calls. In practice it’s a little more complex than that: adding direct HDMI and LAN inputs and dual USB-C sockets so that it can stream data and video directly from cameras to the internet using its 5G<\/a> cellular connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan’s well-known population collapse<\/a> issues foretell severe labor squeezes in the coming years, and one specific issue this project aims to curtail is the continuing rise in online shopping, with a forecast decline in the numbers of delivery drivers<\/a> that can move goods around. The country is expecting some 30% of parcels simply won’t make it from A to B by 2030, because there’ll be nobody to move them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo what I\u2019m saying is enlarge<\/a> the pie,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have the smallest U.S. active duty military that we\u2019ve had since the eve of World War II. \u2026We are in a major crisis, a 1930s-style crisis, and we\u2019re making decisions that we don\u2019t need to be making about a small amount of resources when we can increase that amount of resources.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan\u2019s kei cars are a common sight on the country\u2019s streets. Today kei trucks<\/a>, the hard-working cargo versions of the kei car, are increasingly seen offroad and in camping areas as users find ways to customize them for adventurous outdoor use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carville advised donors<\/a> who want Biden out of the race to cut off money to politicians who won\u2019t take their side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For folks not interested in dropping thousands on an Apple headset, the IR cameras<\/a> could offer other perks, including bringing \u201cin-air\u201d gestures to AirPods, per Kuo. The IR module could be similar to the receiver that powers Apple\u2019s facial recognition feature, FaceID. The analyst\u2019s report follows a from Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman, which noted that Apple was looking into the idea of camera-powered AirPods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 1945 and 1960, RAND operated as the world\u2019s most productive research organization<\/a>. Initially envisioned as a research arm of the Air Force, RAND made century-defining breakthroughs both in basic science and applied strategic analysis. Its members helped define U.S. nuclear strategy<\/a>, conceptualized satellites<\/a>, pioneered systems analysis, and developed the earliest reports on defense economics<\/a>. They also revolutionized much of STEM: RAND scholars developed the basics of game theory, linear programming, and Monte Carlo methods<\/a>. They helped conceptualize generalized artificial intelligence<\/a>, developed the basics<\/a> for packet switching (which enables data transmission across networks), and built one of the world\u2019s first computers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m thinking about what *I* want, as a capable, curious adult<\/a>. I want to use its ideas to invent enabling environments for myself\u2014to help me better think, learn, and create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immersion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My most cherished learning experiences have involved diving into a topic, trying things, getting my hands dirty, living and breathing it. In the real world, this kind of learning is somewhat rare. Many topics just seem too abstract. Or, when I try to \u201cjust dive in\u201d, I\u2019ll struggle to find an effective way to engage. But this is mostly how we see Nell learn: through immersive, hands-on action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can now short the Party<\/a> with cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VP Kamala Harris career timeline<\/a>. Market action<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This website wants to document the technical tools<\/a> used by the Spanish government to censor official informative websites about the referendum in Catalonia to be held on October 1, 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Were algorithmic “gotcha” questions<\/a> still asked? Were the questions easier? Was the bar just higher?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the ID. Buzz GTX is facing some stiff competition \u2013 and early impressions suggest Volkswagen isn\u2019t competing in the same league. It might be faster than the E-Transit in a straight line<\/a>, but it doesn\u2019t stop, corner or ride anywhere near as well, which I think rather defeats the point. And that\u2019s before I address the practicality limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Democrats even capable of running a presidential campaign without massive hoaxes, disinformation campaigns and election interference involving corruption of government officials<\/a> and complicity of the mainstream media? This should be offensive to every voter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Democratic Party crushed all opposition during the primary<\/a> with behind-the-scenes arm twisting and threats to discourage potential candidates from running, legal challenges to prevent NoLabels, @deanbphillips, @RobertKennedyJr and others from getting on the ballot in many states, and unprecedented limitations on the recent debate (which enabled the exclusion of @RobertKennedyJr) to limit the possibility of a third-party candidate successfully running for president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small group of local reporters (including me) were set to travel with President Biden to a handful of other stops today. We\u2019ve now been told we don\u2019t have transportation<\/a> and won\u2019t be doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution to the software crisis<\/a> will not be a reversion to more constrained platforms, but a constraint on the number of layers of abstraction we are allowed to apply, as well as the requirement of information preservation between these layers. We must narrow the (semantic gap<\/a>) so that everyone<\/em> may scale it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All new vehicles sold in Europe \u2013 including Northern Ireland but not Great Britain \u2013 will be fitted with a mandatory speed limiter<\/a> from 2024 to keep cars within the limits and boost road safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funds, announced Tuesday by the U.S. Economic Development Administration, will create a new shared health database<\/a>, send a fleet of cancer screening vans to underserved neighborhoods, provide lab space for science startups and help biohealth businesses develop apprenticeship programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is another dimension, too. Like East Germany, Prussia<\/a> has left a mark on Germany that didn\u2019t vanish when the state did. There are historians today who constitute an \u2018otherness\u2019 of the country\u2019s East based on the idea that it had already been \u2018different\u2019 when it was Prussia. Traditions of Prussian liberalism are ignored in this picture and the focus is on perceived attributes of militarism, autocracy and general backwardness. A line is still often drawn from Prussia to Nazi Germany, an image of continuity favoured by Hitler himself, who liked to put himself in line with Prussians like Frederick the Great, Otto von Bismarck and Paul von Hindenburg.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funding<\/a> isn\u2019t an issue. Revolut had $22 billion of customer balances (including over $19 billion of deposits) globally at the end of last year but only $680 million of loans, primarily in the personal lending and credit cards space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuno Cunha Barnab\u00e9, a tax partner at Lisbon law firm Abreu Advogados, said the inclusion of retirees in the previous regime had made Portugal an anomaly. \u201cIt was against demographics. It didn\u2019t make sense,\u201d he said. \u201cWe already have an old population. Attracting pensioners<\/a> puts more burden on our health system. We need to attract young people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
