  • Tesla CEO Elon Musk could leave if $56 billion pay package not approved, shareholders warned

    Jump

  • The catch is that Tesla has a bunch of problems that might cause the company to be in serious trouble soon, and if musk leaves before the company starts tanking then we'll have to hear endless bullshit from people about how musk was so great that he single handedly was what kept the company going.

  • xkcd #2942: Fluid Speech

    Jump

  • Yup exactly. It's something like "hahd" but the end is extremely quiet, and the sound is like halfway between a t and d. Kind of like how French people say a final t at the end of a word like beret

  • Should the arpeggio be placed before of after the flat symbol?

    Jump

  • I have no info guess about this, but i strongly guess that the arpeggio sign goes to the left of a flat sign

  • xkcd #2942: Fluid Speech

    Jump

  • This example doesn't work for me. I barely pronounce the "t" even when i just say the word "hot" by itself, so when i say "hot potato" i don't pronounce the t any differently.

  • Sure, but OP worded their headline to sound like they were talking about the google payment system itself, which is not what this news is about

  • No, the standalone google pay APP is just having it's features transitioned into google wallet. Google payment services is totally unchanged.

    Quote:

    Anywhere you normally use Google Pay — from checking out online to tapping and paying in stores — remains the same. If you use your Android phone to shop in stores where Google Pay is accepted, you can continue to tap to pay in stores with the Google Wallet app.

  • TRUMP GUILTY ON ALL 34 COUNTS

    Jump

  • True, but it's still quite quick. In fact IMO having a few hours of deliberation is probably a good thing for the country, because now they can't say the verdict came back so quickly that it proves it must've been rigged. I'm sure they'll still say it was rigged anyway, but they won't be able to point to a 5 minute deliberation as supposed evidence

  • Former President Trump is found guilty in historic New York criminal case

    Jump

  • There's nothing to believe or not believe. This is pure fact. Donald Trump is now a convicted felon

  • TRUMP GUILTY ON ALL 34 COUNTS

    Jump

  • Same thing happened with his other trials. A fast verdict from the jury means the case was completely air-tight solid to the jurors. He was so clearly guilty that there was nothing to even discuss

  • Researchers crack 11-year-old password, recover $3 million in bitcoin

  • It all depends on the value of what you're trying to secure, and if an attacker knows the value of what's in the account, and if the attacker has access to hints about the password you used to narrow down the possibilities. The researchers knew all of that info and they still didn't want to bother trying to crack the password until they found an additional way to narrow down the possibilities even further.

    There's no such thing as perfect security. A lock only needs to be strong enough to make it not worth breaking into for what's in there

  • I just feel bad for him. Can you imagine how much the moment of throwing it away is burned into his mind? And ever since then he's wasted huge amounts of his life trying to find it because he's very understandably obsessed. Can you imagine accidentally throwing away 181 million dollars? And living with the knowledge that it could be out there somewhere just sitting there in the garbage?

    Sounds like a nightmare.

    If i were him i would try to focus on the fact that most likely he would've spent or sold the bitcoin before it became worth millions anyway, so his mistake of throwing it away probably didn't really cost him very much at all

  • For many many years even low end Android phones can perfectly run emulated game systems that came out a decade or two after atari, so cpu probably isn't a bottleneck at all

  • Replacing the spinning disk hard drive with an ssd will give you a significant increase in battery life. And it'll also make the machine wildly faster on all tasks that aren't cpu intensive
