Somebody at Dice.com probably still has satoshi's IP logs.

Django also needs to pin a default Postgres container image, and default NGINX image. The default stack should be extensively end-to end tested and optimized, including an optional patched kernel, cgroup2 settings, and untrusted nsjail worker process for handling media files.

It was in response to my motion for injunction in Apple's racketeering case for bribing the City of Waukee $100m to abate $177m. I pointed out they were spying on Judges' iOS devices and iCloud accounts - Judges don't like to be spied on.

Injunction on Apple filed today in my racketeering action CVCV043016 District Court for Dallas County Iowa on behalf of major shareholder Iowa Public Employee Retiree System. The last thing shareholders need is erosion of equity via a massive NLRA lawsuit.

He sold zero IBM System Z mainframes to AWS.

He let thousands of IBM point of sale systems to be replaced with crap that can't buffer keystrokes - instead of modernizing the SDKs for those who know Linux and not AIX.

He bought RedHat, but not Digital Ocean so they had a cloud consumers trust.

He didn't win a serious contract with Facebook for kernel tuning. He didn't win a serious contract with AWS for AWS Linux 3.

He let COBOL and APL continue to die instead of funding modern tooling.

This is in line with State tax credits on large data centers. At least a credit wouldn't favor Intel over AMD. Companies like Tesla, Deere, Ford would abuse the credit shifting as much cost as they can on their unit that manufactures and tests boards.

I'm worried about screen reader compatibility. FAANG should push to support Lynx text browsing for blind users - and our bandwidth.

JS minification is old hat, and welcome to shrink binaries.

Google for security reasons should probably release the source. Most security types welcome web-assembly over JS since there will be more Rust etc.

M2/Heavy Truck Sales. Note the huge growth inside a recession of money chasing an industrial sink.

That is an unprecedented hockey stick.

Imagine Apple partnering with telcos to do this off M2 racks then Google doing the same with Chrome split into a client and Linux container - $10/month for "Chrome Pro".

Wow. This is crazy unconstitutional. DOJ could seek civil injunction perhaps, but using criminal authority to break into servers without probable cause of any criminal action is crazy bad.

Another good reason to stop using proprietary binaries and instead compile your own source - even if you use code under proprietary copyright. Imagine if France also decided to "help" and bricked your server on accident.

Also hate them. Far better to have a dependency pulling shell script - no overhead of git yak shaving - just maintaining the URIs.

Twitch streams help. A lot of tool skills don't get transferred because they are un-observed.

Wasn't that implicit? When you connect to a network down to a tower every few blocks you are broadcasting location.
