Fun fact: Because the AG of Oklahoma does not believe Richard Glossip should be executed, SCOTUS hired an attorney in California — a former Roberts clerk with no prior affiliation to the case — to argue the pro-execution position at today’s oral arguments. theintercept.com/2024/07/22/s...

How the DOJ wants to break up Google’s search monopoly
The government laid out how it wants a judge to consider undoing Google’s monopoly power, including breaking up the company.
I lived in #Paris in the 90s. A city totally dominated by cars.
Hard to walk in, a nightmare to ride a bike in.
Look at it now: a city where cars, rather than people, have trouble moving.
Which, in the overheated, hurricane-plagued 2020s, is how a city *should* look.

After refusing to even do an interview with 60 Minutes, Donald Trump’s campaign is demanding that the CBS show release a full transcript of its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.
I made a histogram of wealth distribution in the United States, using the Forbes 400 list that just came out. Almost the entire US population is in the red line at the left, one pixel wide. To fit Elon Musk on the graph, each pixel is $500 million wide. In other words, from the perspective of the very rich, $0 and $500 million look the same.

Will IPv6 ever replace IPv4? It's like moving from Windows to Linux
Will IPv6 ever replace IPv4? It's like moving from Windows to Linux
Yes, well over 10 years that IPv6 has been formally announced and in the process of being rolled out (and out, and out).
Reading the linked article though regarding backwards compatibility, it does remind me of a Windows user ditching Windows and trying to move to Linux. It's basically like moving from one OS to another, where apps work differently. There is no compatibility between IPv4 and IPv6, and I think that complexity, combined with all the businesses still being on IPv4, holds most back from moving to IPv6.
See Will IPv6 ever replace IPv4?
Will the world ever make it into IPv6 completely, and why is the transition taking so long?
