Mastercard technology is now available to developers who want to test their own blockchain solutions. "Priceless" (for now)

Quote: The company is looking to spur on development in the B2B space, saying that its technology is designed to increase speed, transparency and costs in cross-border payments.
Suddenly it all makes sense. (emphasis mine)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A suit filed Friday in the US District Court in Los Angeles by four South Korean banks alleges “massive fraud” with an outstanding debt of at least $230 million, and California-based electronic parts seller Newegg has been named as a defendant, along with wholesaler ASI Corporation and its officers. "Prepare yourself for an eggs-peditious defeat!"
I mention it as I know it's rather popular with a certain class of frugal shoppers.

Regardless of the outcomes, someone ends up with egg on their face....

Quote: Newegg intends to vigorously defend itself against those unfounded charges.
Yeah, famous last words. 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

It was just a click-thru for me and I closed it.
I'm not affiliated with that site at all. Sorry about the ugly.
I thought the article was somewhat interesting though.

Anyone can download and read Stephen Hawking’s 1966 doctoral thesis “Properties of expanding universes” now that the scientist has given permission for it to be open access. Just in case you want to check his work

Recently, users started reporting an issue which causes certain apps to disappear from the operating system after installing the update. "He tightens and loosens a few spare parts, one thing's fixed, another falls apart"
|

My update was seamless and surprisingly fast. And it got rid of a bunch of crummy apps I didn't want (and never opened. For all I know, they never existed except as icons.)

I’m thrilled to share our new, exclusive partnership with Cray that will provide our customers unprecedented access to supercomputing capabilities in Azure to solve their toughest challenges in climate modeling, precision medicine, energy, manufacturing, and other scientific research. For those who don't have one on their desktop
(And those that do have no desktop left)

According to CERN...what desktop?

Less exciting that it sounds at first blush...
Unlike most Azure compute resources, which are typically shared between customers, the Cray supercomputers will be dedicated resources. This suggests that Microsoft won't be offering a way of timesharing or temporarily borrowing a supercomputer. Rather, it's a way for existing supercomputer users to colocate their systems with Azure to get the lowest latency, highest bandwidth connection to Azure's computing capabilities rather than having to have them on premises.
... at least for now you're not going to be able to rent time on one.

The feature works on a "block everything by default" philosophy, which means that on a theoretical level, it would be able to prevent ransomware when it tries to access and encrypt files stored in those folders. Should be 100% defense until they find a way around it (in about a 1/2 or so)

One of the great mysteries of modern physics is why antimatter did not destroy the universe at the beginning of time. We're all just figments of our own imaginations
Sorry everyone, I thought we had a nice 14 billion year (+/- 13.999994000) run, but didn't happen.

CERN concluded: Universe shouldn’t exist
We'll have to take a leap of faith on its existence then, I guess.

As Feynman said, anti-matter is just matter moving backwards in time, so it just disappeared in the 4th dimension

Got a 500 error. Hmmm - maybe it no longer exists either...
'PLAN' is NOT one of those four-letter words.

There you go, proof! It's all unraveling, starting with the warnings...

Could be. Maybe they can't handle all the traffic we create.
Ok, one less news source.
