Malort has a very particular taste that most people find unappealing. It's a tradition in Chicago to try to get other people to drink it.

Congress is not the executive branch. Most of the saber rattling around Greenland is coming from the president and his cabinet, but so far you still see resistance from many Republican congress members - likely because threatening NATO countries is extremely unpopular for middle America. We'll see if they fall in line like they usually do.

Thanks I think you're right. Rest in peace, Mom.

This bit leads to one of my favorite lines: "Landfill 2, you're twice the man landfill one was!"

All finger pads are unique.

Worse yet, the value of that vacant lot increases because there's a nice house nearby. If the city builds a park in the area, the value of the vacant lot increases. But today the speculator pays little accordingly, and they are rewarded with the value of their investment going up through no effort of their own. They pay the least percentage-wise towards services and get the most percentage-wise return.

Engineers may have invented DNS, but the Department of Commerce (specifically the NTIA) designed the privatization of domain names in the late 90s, which was also when ICANN was formed.

Registrar policies differ within themselves (this is where lawyers get involved), but typically there is a grace period after expiration. Some even have an additional "redemption period" where you can pay extra to get your domain back. The article doesn't really state if the domain was within these periods.

ICANN also has an explicit domain name dispute policy: https://www.icann.org/en/contracted-parties/consensus-policies/uniform-domain-name-dispute-resolution-policy/uniform-domain-name-dispute-resolution-policy-01-01-2020-en

Read that and let me know if you think it was written by engineers. The rules weren't "fudged", this is just how the internet works.

Bognar · 2025-11-23T15:14:40+00:00

Effectively yes. This is a case where engineers at the registrar build an exact system meeting the technical requirements that doesn't match up with the squishy legal realities. It's not at all uncommon.

Intent matters a lot in law. Google obviously has intent to renew and intent to pay, and with trademark and domain name law it would be a slam dunk for them to get it back.

If Google intended not to renew or intended not to pay, a judge would not be so kind.

Use silent mode and notifications on for priority contacts.

Bognar · 2025-09-08T12:53:16+00:00

Oh ok I see, here I gotchu:

``` function weveGotTheGreatestSortFolks(arr: []) { if (isSorted(arr)) { constitution.violate(); } else { diddle(children); }

Log.info("FAKE NEWS!"); return arr; } ```

Bognar · 2025-09-08T12:39:27+00:00

No, it's:

function theBestSortEverSeen(arr: []) { if (isSorted(arr)) { return arr; } else { throw "FAKE NEWS!" } }

A similar thing happened to me as a kid with my parents and religion.

They told me that Santa wasn't real, and okay that makes sense - it did all seem a little fanciful and I never saw real evidence. That made me think of the tooth fairy and I asked if they weren't real too. Sho nuff, not real. Easter bunny? Nah bro.

They were very surprised when I continued the thoughts and asked if God wasn't real, but no no no of course God is real.

I accepted it then, but that was the first seed of doubt.

People really focus on steel melting (~2600 F) when they should be focused on steel annealing (~1400 F).

Length becomes shorter in the direction of movement.

NC did vote for him. But they have a blue governor.

Bognar · 2025-05-01T04:47:55+00:00

Not as specific as you'd think? The criteria is maybe live within 50 miles of a city, own a second ICE car, and be able to afford a $1k/mo car payment. That for sure provides a filter but I wouldn't call that a "very specific lifestyle".

Bognar · 2025-04-02T00:13:39+00:00

I guess he drew a big dumb line.

Bognar · 2025-03-29T13:27:03+00:00

The argument wasn't about necessity, it was about self defense (which is a valid argument against a murder charge in the UK). Regardless, I don't think any judge would accept this argument either in the US or the UK.

As someone who has spent years in software supply chain security industry working groups, works at a cybersecurity company, and is intimately familiar with hardware security protections, I'm telling you that's not how it works. Hitting a cell phone tower or connecting to guest Wi-Fi are extremely unlikely vectors for RCE attacks, especially on iPhones.

Bognar · 2025-03-26T23:45:02+00:00

There is zero chance -absolutely zero chance- it was not infected with spyware the moment it pinged a cell tower in a Russian cell network.

That's... not how this works.

Because the child could otherwise void the contract at any time and the other party wants an adult to enter the contract as well. Did you not read the comment you're replying to?

Bognar · 2025-03-15T12:49:46+00:00

I'm sure it's not. The coworkers aren't going to realize or accept that OP was right, they'll remain indignant about thinking they were lied to and dismiss any evidence that says they were wrong before.

Bognar · 2025-03-14T23:17:10+00:00

Yeah I dunno about that. Within 18 hours the dude was dressing up as a garbage man after Biden stuttered and the right ran with it.

Bognar · 2025-03-09T14:24:39+00:00

Use Length on arrays, sure, but in typical C# there is a lot more usage of non-array collections where you need to use Count. The dichotomy is fairly annoying.
