The unnamed island is 4x4 squares, half the size of the forest-heavy Erangel or the sprawling desert Miramar.

I like the narration. That’s the version I grew up with, it’s fine.

The gig economy was thrust upon us with no consensus around its merits and grave concerns about minor things like, y’know, benefits like healthcare.

But you have to understand this... people CHOOSE to work for them... and in general, it is not their full time job... so averaged over a month, or only done every once in a while... it makes sense some make so little.

Looks like this shank came from the penne-tentiary.

Bunny went all Mr. Creosote...

What confuses me is that there was all sorts of anger about the idea that kids supporting gun control might be “coached” or “scripted” by someone else, yet it’s apparently alright for this kid to go on TV and read out a script his father freely admits was scripted by the family.

Maybe FCC, in this instance, meant “Flatulent and Chunky Coward” in this instance.

As a point of contention, Job’s didn’t have anything to do with the development of the Apple I. Woz had already built it and was showing it off at the HBCC, where he and Jobs reunited. It was only after it had been finished that Jobs had the idea to market it.

If you want characters with conspicuous, prominent hoods, there’s always Assassin’s Creed...

For this kid, who is actually what a hero is, I’m going to stick with the narrative that he died saving his classmates, not trying to. He did it. He blocked for them, assisted them, got as many as possible out of harm’s way, and paid the ultimate price for his service.

I think it goes beyond that. They are offering a bounty for invalidating any of the other patents held by Blackbird, not just the one involved in this suit. The idea being to put Blackbird out of business, instead of just protecting Cloudflare.

I work in technology in the same offices as our government affairs folks.

I’m glad they won, Blackbird deserved that. What I’m ecstatic about is their bounty program. I’m curious if more companies are going to follow suit with similar trolls.

I always thought Blade doesn’t get the credit it deserves because the movie isn’t very comic book-y and is more of a 90s action/horror movie. It doesn’t help the Blade is a minor comic character, though that fact actually helped get the movie made.

Or you can just watch Atomic Blonde?
