It was never going to stop at just adult sites, and it won't stop with social media. I see s world where the ISP will be required to check your ID and "verify your age" because people were using vpn to circumvent these.

Then it's not a stretch to see the government requiring all good citizens to "check in" with the government every month like someone out on parole.

It would be exactly what they would love and like the frog that slowly boils, I believe they'll get it.


You'll just have to provide a continuous RDP stream from your telescreen. That shouldn't be a problem, citizen.

I agree. I think the only reason it hasn't happened yet is they didn't really have away to do anything with the data. But now with AI they can process it into reports pretty easily at scale. That is what all of these data centers going up is really about.

Unless you're a politician, they're exempt.

They are quoting the book/movie the circle.

Oh that didn't click. Perfectly on point.

or use bluesky

I was under the impression that it was already required for any website in which you can communicate with someone else?

And who's gonna stop them!? They're constantly unpopular, doesn't matter if they're individually voted out when all the party lines follow the same doctrine.

Genuine question, but how does anyone see this all being shut down?


I'm also on brave and they've promised support for M2 for the future but they're of course a fork of chromium, so we'll have to see how committed they are to implement improvements that they can't simply merge in due to conflicting behaviours. Which you can almost guarantee Google will do.

Inbuilt ad blockers aren't affected by whatever change Google may do to the extension ecosystem.

It was very much implemented by BMW.

They rolled it back though afaik because the whole idea was a comically evil idea.


> It is also worth mentioning that the standard library implementation might change over time, which would break all past seeds.

If the stdLib changes and you need to use the same, then you're unfortunately going to be suck with porting the previous version into your own library. It's pretty forward thinking from the devs here, I would love to see my boss' face if I told him we need time to port some of the stdLib incase they update it in the future.

I had to check for my own curiosity, but it looks like the Random class has not been updated in 12 or so years. At least in the inital subset of framework to core.

https://github.com/microsoft/referencesource/commits/main/ms...


Be glad you work on top of a relatively standardised platform! The C standard doesn't specify any details of the implementation backing rand(), so a bunch of platforms have wildly different implementations, and they change over time (FreeBSD swapped theirs out in 202, for example)

IIRC in the modern .NET runtime, System.Random should come from here, which is updated somewhat regularly: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/commits/main/src/libraries.... Although, whether any of these is a behavioral breaking change isn't immediately clear; most are just API additions.

Breaking old seeds is probably not too big a deal since the game is currently in early access, and the biweekly patches mean that seeds are already pretty inconsistent. For example, adding new cards/relics/combats to the pool throws off the generation for all cards/relics/combats anyway

For what it’s worth, Claude did this without even being asked when I had it implement /dev/urandom in my deterministic dotnet runtime. (Fun fact: if the runtime only ever receives zero bytes from /dev/urandom then it will hang on attempting to initialise System.Random! That was the first way I asked for it to be implemented.)

> Well, the people who bought the SpaceX IPO essentially footed the entire bill here.

It's hard to say that they footed the bill here, but they basically gave SpaceX a number to say "well our stock went IPO and it's at this price, so here's 60B at this price"

A good tactic from SpaceX as after the inital surge of a big IPO, the stock price usually comes down and finds it's correct balance, which is usually always lower. So if they had of waited the 'cooling off' period of a year for example, and the stock price went down to it's 'correct' valuation, then they would have had to issue a higher number of stocks.. At least that's my thinking, but I'm terrible with money.


I'm not sure it's worth the price tag for developers though, I mean resharper promised similar, delivered half, bought by millions and still don't think Jetbrains, even with its other good tool suit is valued 60B.

This is just a general practice that always happens when paying in stock. It's to prevent a massive dump the next day which would tank the share price 'artificially'. Again, rich people's rules.

Ok everyone saying this is how it works but where’s the proof? SpaceX has a 7 day lockup for some people which is abnormal. So clearly the way it’s done isn’t in fact how it’s always done.

https://www.sec.gov/reports/rule-144-selling-restricted-cont...

> Holding Period. Before you may sell any restricted securities in the marketplace, you must hold them for a certain period of time. If the company that issued the securities is a “reporting company” in that it is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, then you must hold the securities for at least six months


Are the securities restricted though? I don’t think these would be?

Almost guaranteed to be. The only other way would be to have issued them during the transaction with the Sec. There was no mention of that. 60billion of issued shares would have been mentioned. It's non trivial amount.

What’s the lockup period in this case?

Um, I honestly don't know for sure, if I'm not mistaken SpaceX has some weird staggered release schedule for employees and early investors, I guess based on their stock dates.

> SpaceX has a 7 day lockup for some people which is abnormal

You might be referring to staff members who have shares ? Their shares are not restricted securities as far as I know, but their internal company policy might affect those, but I'm not 100% certain on that.


There are many tranches here. Some friends and family got to buy day one IPO with no restrictions. Then some employees get a rolling release starting June 30.

That's interesting actually, and good to hear. I fully believe those employees deserve their full share.

> The biggest focus of its business is the manufacture and launch of rockets with reusable parts.

Is it though ? Their TAM in their filing lists 85% as AI. $18.7 billion in REVENUE 2025 yet are spending more than 3x that for Cursor, and AI company.
