IMO Graham is a better example because he still had a reputation of principles at the time, being friend with McCain and in general being outspoken.

Cruz never had any of that. Everybody hates Ted Cruz, even his close colleagues and family.

Veritasium did a video about it, with data to back it up. They took old video and reposted them with and without clickbait titles and images. The difference of views is staggering. People just like it o suppose.

Lawyers got paid, so that’s cool for them I suppose.

Yes, that’s in the US where shady things are done like this a lot. Having lived in diffeeent countries abroad this doesn’t happen anywhere else as far as I can tell.

Wait until you learn about the government. To get your birth or marriage certificate, my county requires that you go to a totally shady URL of a private company that actually is in the business of printing those and shipping them, for a fee of course. Oh and enter your SSN and ID please, without knowing if there’s any security standards they follow.

Am I the only one spooked that the government would not keep those records itself??? And ask a private entity that returns almost nothing if googled by name?!?

The web is already federated. Anyone can start their own web server and compete with everyone.

The problem is WEI will prevent you from using unauthorized browsers with, for example, Netflix or YouTube or your bank, if those services decide to force WEI.

Federating those services is near to impossible for various reasons. People could make competing services that don’t enforce WEI, and some people have.

GenX scientists naming things. Was it a mistake? Maybe, but we’re having a laugh.

Graps are delicious and I love the wins they make.

OP’s question is very vague. I would argue that the PS2 was indeed capable of “128 bits computing”, even if it isn’t technically a 128 bits computer.

I’m also pretty sure the comment was tongue in cheek.
