Seems a lot like a few years ago when Spotify was throwing money at established pods to go exclusive to their platform, didn't seem to work particularly well back then but I'm sure this will be different!

Honestly believe we dodged a bullet here, they are not only obnoxious but they are a particular type of obnoxious that the average Irish person is well aware of and has no time for.

20 years ago they had a website where you could buy a high quality live album of the exact show you went to, in lossless audio format or mp3. They have always been very good at offering a product that their fans will want to pay for.

My most right wing opinion is that pedestrians and cyclists should be allowed to carry personal weapons strictly for use against vehicles that offend them. Would accept flails, maces, shotguns loaded with rock salt, that sort of thing. Parked on the path? Drove through zebra crossing? Bonk!

All of you have spent years talking about right wing conspiracy theories and blueanon but the second that the evidence in an event like this points in a direction that makes you ideologically uncomfortable you all revert to the same burden of proof of the people you’ve been making fun of!

I've been assuming this is just building backstory for an upcoming pivot to being a US right wing media pundit, "presidential candidate denied by deep state" reads a lot better than "had to leave because my horrible behaviour completely tanked my reputation"

I work with people doing research into Quantum Key Distribution for secure networks, there are real products there that you can buy today, though they are definitely a few years out from being practical.

"Such guns may also be more difficult to detect at airport X-rays and scanners depending on the materials used to construct them, he said."
This is a sensational claim and also not true? 3D printed guns still rely on metal parts, like barrels and bullets, nobody is sneaking a working gun in.

There's no dignified way to do it, you hold your head over the sink and what happens happens. Ideally not while wearing the clothes you intend to continue wearing in public later.

I'll never forget when visiting a good friend's family home in Leitrim, she asked her Da if it would be ok to bring us up to the Fairy Tree to see it. He, an extremely matter of fact local businessman said, without looking up: "I wouldn't." And that was the end of that.

A GPU server built in 2024 for AI compute will be potentially useful for many many years to come. Of course in 11 years it won't but no tech has that long a life cycle, even fibre optic cables only lasts 10-15 before the plastic in housing starts to break down and attenuation goes through the roof

There's plenty of compute uses for them that isn't GenAI, even the underlying tech behind things like chat GPT has legitimate use cases, just companies went all on on the dumbest, most frivolous ones in an attempt to be the guy who owns the next Google.
