So it’s not even the lowest it’s been this year? Meh

Most of the people who bought during the IPO probably already cashed out.

The API restrictions and login requirements are meant to make scraping hard enough to make a deal worthwhile.

To be fair, it’s in French on the map, and “CÔTE D’IVOIRE” isn’t as obviously wrong if you don’t know French.

I fully expected them to have put South Africa up north, but lucky for them they didn’t try to include it.

Just to be clear, there’s only six countries labeled on the map, and all six have the wrong name. They didn’t mislabel every country on the entire continent.

The article is a week old. Apple has since announced a leasing program and told The Verge the restricted mode isn’t for it. They didn’t say what it is for though.

The link is from The Guardian, which doesn’t do all that. I only get a cookie prompt from them, and there’s no funny business after that.

The article is a bit outdated, missing the price. This is more recent: Instant Access to Trump’s Thoughts Now Costs $100,000 a Month

I suppose there’s a big markup to account for what they’ll end up throwing out, and then the high price is part of why there’s so much unsold and needing to be disposed of.

That’s from May. Today: After gaining independence from Xbox, Double Fine are laying off a quarter of their staff.

Isn’t there only a week left until it’s too late for a special election? If the Republicans are covering up his death they’re not going to give in when they’re so close.

Isn’t it voting for Republicans that leads to that situation? They’re the ones pushing for people to use the bathroom that matches what they were assigned at birth, and that’s how you get a trans woman in the men’s room.

I already had it set, and so far my LG monitor hasn’t caused an LG software to be installed. But I’m on Windows 10 and I guess there’s a chance this software is only for 11.

From the comments on the article:

• Open Settings → System → About → Advanced system settings → Hardware tab → Device Installation Settings.
• Select No to Automatically download manufacturer apps and icons.

Capital expenditures are for things that are expected to last a long time, like buildings and vehicles, so I guess the accounting rules around them are meant to allow the costs to be realized over a similarly long time. The idea is probably that companies would be less likely to invest in capital if it meant taking a big hit all at once. But I’m not an accountant.

How can something be profitable, but also have negative cash flow?

It’s been about thirty years since I took an accounting class, but I think capital expenditures like this AI spending are amortized (deferred?) over several years and don’t fully count towards present expenses. So the chunk that counts for this quarter/year can still be small enough to make the company profitable (income > expenses). Free cash flow I would guess is money that came in minus money actually spent, so something like a $1m capital expenditure might count as $100k for this year’s expenses but the full $1m for calculating cash flow.

If Pike’s fate were truly sealed his future self wouldn’t have needed to come back and tell him changing it was going to go badly for the Federation.

I don’t think there was anything that showed they couldn’t change the past; Pike just made the right choice to avoid changing it. If they tried to shoot down the missile and something went wrong, that I would maybe take as a sign the past is fixed.

The clock starts in August, so the 100% tariffs will start in time for the next presidential election. Is Trump trying to screw over the next Republican candidate?

Leaving the call with Carney, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said point blank that withholding energy is “not going to happen.”

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has also flatly rejected the idea of using potash and energy as a leverage point and Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette said she’s “not there.”

Withholding the things the US needs badly enough to exclude from tariffs is exactly what we should do.
