hmm, I'm not seeing anything that can be described as "inertia". Not on chromium either. Both of these are on a laptop with dragging the side scrollbars and using the up/down arrows on the keyboard.

Is this something that is related to a touch screen? I'm not using a touch screen.

Normally, I am the first to complain about broken websites, but it looks fine for me on Firefox on a laptop. Scrolling works normal using up-down arrow keys and dragging on the side scrollbar. There is an unnecessary effect with the 3D diagram, but it doesn't interfere with the site. How are you viewing it?

Curious why the comment by the poster got flagged but not the full post. I like when the poster includes a comment describing the content and reasons why he liked it.

This probably won't help you in the UK, but for those in the US, Wells Fargo uses an optional RSA SecurID Device.

I got curious when you mentioned "google play store apocalypse", but I can't seem to find a comment of yours on the topic today. Would you be willing to post a link?

If it is more than just the one guy, it could also mean that they are expecting the AI to kill them before the cancer does.

So basically the same as "woke".

> Not all hacks are used to steal data

Sometimes, they just want to send spam. Ages ago, someone got a hold of our company's webserver and all they used it for was sending a ridiculous volume of emails. Our ISP spotted the traffic spike and pulled our server off the network.

> these are lithium batteries, which have significant failure mode issues

Agreed. Specifically, these are lithium-ion rather than the new lithium iron phosphates which have none of those issues. No one should be doing lithium-ion for new installations. Lithium ions are only viable in cars which need the lower weight limits.

If you look at the before and after photos of past POTUSes, you can see a visible aging. If we ignore the current POTUS, I think we can say that there are a lot of long hours of stressful trolley problems.

I read both. They seem related to me. They are both about supermarket fridges getting hacked over the internet.

I like similar articles' discussions to be linked together. I didn't see a link, so I added one. I don't see why I am getting all the angry downvotes.

A woman wrote "I ask for bread" in the snow in front of her house. A passing drone photographed it. This led to a later mission to air drop food to her.

Follow the money. It's because the schools have figured out a way to monetize spectator sports but not spectator academics. The only spectator events that I recall was a spelling bee that only the parents came to, and if they charged for a ticket, even the parents wouldn't have shown up. If the schools could get money out of the program, they would put money into it.

Americans eat lobster for the same reason. It was considered trash food until we discovered garlic butter.

Does anyone know if you have to have the GPS radio of the phone switched on for that to work? I keep my GPS and WIFI radios switched off for both privacy and to reduce the drain on the battery unless I specifically need it on when lost.

My layman understanding of Godel's Incompleteness Theorem is that you are correct. It states that there are things that are true but no proof can exist (providable by human or AI provers).
