Is that in the movie? This is the image I have in my mind but I forgot that she hit her head. I think that's not the case in the comics IIRC. Instead it's unclear whether her neck was already snapped before she fell, or the late web catch caused the snap.

This is why Gwen Stacy's death was so confusing to some people

But didn't the BoE say that we were all very rude and uncouth for taking payrises while the economy was mending?

It's almost like they're a bunch of self serving cantankerous old fucks with no grasp on how real people live or function in society.

Replying again to say: that actually makes sense. You should have said that upfront! Suddenly being locked out of critical software is definitely a risk worth considering

His actual goal is in the final sentence of the article and has nothing to do with moral intent.

It's more about scale. Small open source projects might get one PR a month. Your average tech company is dealing with dozens of PR every single day. Review fatigue is real in these environments

They didn't like being called birds. They felt they were being pigeon holed

He had an interview with Google and they asked him to invert a binary tree, which is essentially taking a tree of data and swapping the positions of all sibling nodes.

While most people agreed it was a pretty pointless question to ask at an interview, mxcl had a full "don't you know who I am" shit fit on social media.

If anyone hasn't made the connection, mxcl is the infamous Google interview binary tree guy

It wasn't about video length, it was about the Twitter leadership at that time being categorically incapable of monetizing any of their products.

Combine that with the orders-of-magnitude higher cost of running Vine compared to the bird, and it was always either going to be sold off or shut down.

It's easy to forget that this was back in the time when these companies thought they were changing the planet for the better and drinking their own Kool aid by the gallon.

Great summary, but I want to point out that the reality of why they're doing this is to pander to racist voters who were told their opinion by a highly effective villification campaign against this woman in tabloid newspapers.

Once these things gain traction, politicians always kowtow to the loudest public opinions

 

Peter Hitchens is an author, broadcaster, journalist, and commentator. He writes for The Mail on Sunday. He has published numerous books, including The Abolition of Britain, The Rage Against God, The War We Never Fought and The Phoney Victory.


While this isn't technically about atheism, I think it's on topic given Hitchens' widely publicised views on religion. With that in mind, the post-interview section gives a unique insight into how Peter acts when he feels he has been wronged, and how his approach to reason and justification changes in that light.

Further, the interview was supposed to go on to the topic of God but Peter had already decided to storm out prior to reaching the topic (though he doesn't actually storm out for another 15 or so minutes)

You can also follow his ongoing reaction to the interview, and its subsequent release, on his X (formerly known as Twitter) feed: https://twitter.com/ClarkeMicah

 

Currently when performing a search if you e.g. click through to a result to subscribe, then press back, you end up on the page prior to tapping search. You then have tap the search tab again and enter your search term again if you want to see more results.

I'd like to see it restore the state of the search results modal on returning from a result. This would make it much easier to do things like quickly add multiple subscriptions to related communities
