I mean, the text doesn't use the term "stealing".

The visit to Bangkok was one of many trips Andrew took at British taxpayers’ expense when he was serving as an official trade envoy for the UK in the early 2000s.

I feel like maybe the British public should rely on the British civil service to negotiate their trade arrangements, rather than the royal family.

Assuming that the instance is still up, probably somewhere in:

You don't want one with exit nodes in Italy. You want one with exit nodes not in Italy. The exit node determines where the user appears to be coming from to the site in question.

There was a federal court ruling subsequent to the publication of the submitted article, so they should be moving, albeit with some delay. It's not clear whether they will be paid in full for the month, though.

Government shutdown live updates; Bessent says food benefits could flow by Wednesday

The payments appeared set to stop at the beginning of November, as the shutdown has stretched into a new week. But federal judges in Massachusetts and Rhode Island ruled Oct. 31 that the U.S. Department of Agriculture needs to use $5.25 billion in contingency funds to make at least partial payments.

Both judges said the Trump administration has the option to use certain discretionary money to provide the benefits in full for November. They gave the administration a limited number of days to provide an update on what it's doing.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that President Donald Trump wants to hear from the courts about how to legally move money around to fund SNAP payments, but he noted during an interview on CNN's "State of the Union" that it "could" flow by Wednesday.

"There's a process that has to be followed," Bessent said. "So, we've got to figure out what the process is."

The Cabinet secretary also told the outlet that the Trump administration will not appeal the rulings.

I do not game on phones, but my best experiences have, ironically, been with 'gaming' phones like the Razer Phone 2 and Asus phones. They have gigantic batteries, lots of RAM, and lean, stock UIs that let you disable/uninstall apps, hence they're fast as heck and last forever. I only gave up my Razer Phone 2 because the mic got clogged up with dust, and I miss it.

While I kind of agree (though I don't really like the "gamer" aesthetics), Asus only offers two major updates and two years of patches, which is quite short.

If someone games with their phone and plans to frequently upgrade for new hardware, they may not care. But if you get the hardware just to have a large battery and RAM, that may be a concern.

EDIT: Also, no mmWave support, which may or may not matter to someone.

I’m not sure why c/technology is suddenly a dumping ground for every random Medium blog, which is as trustworthy a news source as somebody’s Facebook feed.

It's not exactly random. That blog is run by the poster, who is rather on my "users here to push an agenda" list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_appearance_of_Jesus

The race and appearance of Jesus, widely accepted by researchers to be a Jew from Galilee,[1] has been a topic of discussion since the days of early Christianity.

Thus, in terms of physical appearance, the average Judean of the time would have likely had brown or black hair, honey/olive-brown skin, and brown eyes.

Unfortunately, Christ was the "wrong sort" of Christian.

So, I agree that it's not the best presentation, but they're trying to put the summary of findings up top. The actual "title" of the chart is the subtitle beneath.

What would you suggest for checking the network?

Well, on the Linux side, something like bwm-ng will tell you the total throughput through an interface, and if you can transfer a file across the two, you can probably get a feel for how much bandwidth is practically available to do.

If you've been able to move that much over the network before, though, that's a fair argument that that's not the cause.

Sixteen percent of GDP...The United States has tethered 16% of its entire economic output to the fortunes of a single company

That's not really how that works. Those two numbers aren't comparable to each other. Nvidia's market capitalization, what investors are willing to pay for ownership of the company, is equal to sixteen percent of US GDP, the total annual economic activity in the US.

They're both dollar values, but it's like comparing the value of my car to my annual income.

You could say that the value of a company is somewhat-linked to the expected value of its future annual profit, which is loosely linked to its future annual revenue, which is at least more connected to GDP, but that's not going to be anything like a 1:1 ratio, either.
