“The company has been hugely successful in China, where its video service has 730 million monthly subscribers”

New sub-genre: Scalies.

What I find most interesting about this is the dichotomy between what the airline industry did and what the computing industry did. Airbus bet the farm on the A380, thinking that the industry would move more towards massive airplanes on a more limited long haul hub and spoke model (less flights, but bigger planes, to

I don’t care as long as it’s gig to my house. If they can’t sell me gig, there’s no point in switching away from Spectrum.

I spent 15 years flying (mostly international, so 10-15 hour single flights a lot of the time, and up to 24+ hours with connecting flights), always in business class over the water. Lots of times bumped to first class due to either using miles or status.

I don’t know what BS AT&T is feeding us, but San Diego “fiber-to-the-home” isn’t “to-the-home”, it’s “to-the-neighborhood”. They had trucks out here a couple months ago, and then went door to door telling everybody about their improved service.

Biology and evolution. Do you speak it?

“Mexican immigrants are attempting to break off parts of America into Mexico”

This will definitely be incorporated into the origin story. Just wait.

Those old statues never get the likeness quite right. St. Patrick had to have been a bad ass to scare all the snakes out of Ireland.

Oh, look! I had an error on that last run, and found a hanging “}”, so here I am again after kicking off the next test!

Exactly. Do you know why I’m sitting here reading/writing on Gizmodo right at this moment. I’m troubleshooting a Chef cookbook and waiting for the current run to complete. Yes, it’s only about 3 minutes of downtime during test runs, but else am I supposed to do with that time? I can’t get deep into anything important.

Never said Gizmodo was a reliable source. Just quoted the article, so you would understand why the readers here would make the extremophile connection. Your beef is with George Dvorsky.

“When you hear about poachers, butterflies typically aren’t the first creature to spring to mind.”

“Classified as “extremophiles,” tardigrades have confounded and astounded scientists for over two centuries.”
