Social engineer a way to hack into their Snapchat

The leaked data targeted primarily Ashkenazi Jews.

$30M for 6.4M people - so minus legal fees they can expect about two dollars each? I thought these damages were supposed to be punitive?

Same, and also with experience in the construction business, so my first thought was that 220k per door for apartments is quite reasonable. I wouldn’t fret about it at all, because in the grand scheme of things this is chump change. Just say you’re getting into real estate investing with a business partner.

What’s the value-add over just buying a SFF PC?

Sure, 20% of 1.4B is 280 million, more than almost any country’s total population.

It’s “leading” with only ~20% market share, though.

Very good article, but it would have benefited from a few historical references, because none of this is new. The insularity and navel-gazing of royal and imperial courts, for example, are legendary — with their own customs, shibboleths, and of course everyone within believing they have the answers, despite being totally dsconnected form the “real world”.

Do you mean from a historical standpoint? It depends on the culture, but it’s pretty recent in its current iteration — in the west, it followed the rise of Christianity. For much of western history at least, it was considered OK to pitch, within reason (manly!) but not to catch (effeminate!). Warring states China was pretty similar. I’m less familiar with India but in any case that would have been suppressed by the Mughals.

I get that, but Twitter isn’t based in Brazil at all. What happens if, say, China declares that certain posts are “misinformation”? Should those be taken down without complaint?

Earlier this year, Moraes ordered X to block certain accounts, as he investigates so-called “digital militias” that have been accused of spreading fake news and hate messages

I hate to defend that cesspool of a site, but I don’t think it’s appropriate for social media websites to ban accounts at the whim of foreign governments. Reasonable people should just choose to stop using Twitter altogether and leave it to the Nazis so that it can finally go the way of Gab et al.

Just a thought, but several of your anecdotes could describe 19th-century Europe, England in particular. Obviously India today is far more advanced than Victorian England, but still, is it possible that these are just normal growing pains for a country?

What year did you start playing, though? Back in 2005 the game was a revelation. The mundane gameplay you describe was pretty much how all games worked at the time.

they really made a gold standard game

They really did. I still remember the first time I logged in — pure magic. I’ve never felt that way about a game since.

I can’t believe there are still 500 people working on it after all these years. The vast majority of people I know who played (myself included) quit after Cataclysm or thereabouts.

Came here to say this. The implications for food security would be massive, but it would also have an enormous impact on climate change, cutting GHG emissions by one-third.

I skim the Wikipedia page on whatever topic is being discussed and pretend to be an expert.

This happened to me years ago (the .com of my full name). I kept checking in at expiry date for 3 years and they eventually let it expire, so I bought it back for normal price.

Define “today”? My first pick would be Yesterday, but that’s about 60 years old already.
