Quote from article: "stablecoins" would be created and pegged to real-world money such as the US dollar and the euro In other words, they'll have the ability to dilute existing holders without compensation, no different than a corporation creating more shares and giving them away to cronies. About as "stable" as a fart in a windstorm. And given their past behavior, they'll probably just confiscate the coins of those whom they deplatform.
Pass. And sod this bunch, even though I don't use them.

The danger is not that they try it, the danger comes when other countries / all the users are that blind to follow.

A US corporation printing other countries' money?
What a great idea.

Microsoft claims to have developed a system that correctly distinguishes between security and non-security software bugs 99% of the time, and that accurately identifies critical, high-priority security bugs on average 97% of the time. But they haven't got around to running it on their own code yet

In other news: Users find 3,000,000 bugs that the AI didn't notice, but ms is too busy working on icons and AIs to do anything about them.

Yes, but what about the other 68% of the bugs?

Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, thinks the coronavirus pandemic should teach Americans to be “a little bit grateful” for powerful tech companies — and angry at their government. "Cha, ya know what? Nuh uh! Yeah, no."

Eric Schmidt said: be “a little bit grateful” for powerful tech companies So we should quid-pro-quo be nice to them. Got it.Eric Schmidt said: and angry at their government And we should hate the group of people that they're pointing at, this week. Got it.
I gotta ask, are All Americans like this, or only CEOs and presidents?
I know the answer is "obviously not", but the parallel was just so precise that I had to highlight it.
And I love the way he goes on about how Bezos is a wonderful guy -- who so far has personally profited by 24bn from a pandemic that's killed c150,000 people, but who treats his employees like sh1t (e.g. he's willing to spend tens of millions fighting a French court order, rather than obey it and spend a few thousand on PPE for his French employees).

Folly (acronymed loosely after Facebook Open Source Library) is a library of C++14 components designed with practicality and efficiency in mind. Always great to name your product after a word meaning, "lack of good sense"
Or did they mean, "a costly ornamental building with no practical purpose"

A wise move.
Now everyone will be able to (and therefore will) steal everyone else's personal data, so if the EU goes after fb, it can cry victimisation.
Never attribute to generosity that which is adequately explained by evildoing.

When performing a full antivirus scan using Windows Defender, a recent definition update or Windows update is causing the program to crash in the middle of a scan. Please tell me the icon is all right?

Are you sure that's the right link? That one seems to be about the latest updates breaking VBA programs.

If this trend continues, we estimate the average internet customer will hit ISP data caps and pay associated overage fees within the next three years. And you won't believe how much it's gone up in the last 100 years!
