Yes it was, that's why they kept the patents when they sold Motorola.

That would go into Natural Rights theory, which the US Declaration of Independence supports, but the US Constitution explicitly denies by legitimising slavery.

Sometimes classics are classics for a reason. And by classics I mean crabs 🦀.

Congratulations, your noob user is now using JPEG-XL. It's not working on old devices, or any mainstream browser besides Safari. The less mature library also has a bug that allows for RCE and now everyone is running a cryptominer.

Now you say, but webp is supported everywhere, so let's go with that. Now the noob is using wepb for a bunch of rasterised vector graphics with 4 or 5 flat colors, and he's wasting more disk space than before.

So I repeat, if you need one size fits all, PNG is better, it works everywhere, and it's even more efficient in cases where lossless graphics matter the most.

The title is hyperbole. PNG is lagging behind modern lossless formats in terms of new features.
This doesn't mean it's a bad format or that it shouldn't be used. In fact, it should still be the default unless you need something it doesn't support or really need to reduce file size.

And don't forget Iran will have F-4s until 2958.

Local deliveries can be fixed in a few years with proper regulations, and that's giving a generous time span for businesses to adapt.

I'm on page 12 and I already saw a false equivalence between human learning and AI training.

Cuomo's speech seemed to go more into the direction of sitting this one out and wait for a safer way to attempt a comeback.

He's probably going to do some polling but unless there's some big advantage for him in a realistic scenario, trying to run and risking losing can damage his political career beyond repair. And yes, on an ideal world it would already be dead beyond saving, but we have the world we have.

If New Yorkers manage to elect a Mayor that's not a bootlicker it's a sign that everything has a chance to get better.

Of the SI system. The metric system started with cgs (centimeter, gram, second) and evolved from there.

They were all done by scientists or engineers.

The meter was defined based on what they calculated as 1 millionth of the length of Paris' meridian.

The second was 1/86400 of a day, which makes sense with the angle/circle nomenclature on the clock.

The gram was initially set to be the mass of 1cm³ of water at 4°C - which is why 1l of water ≈ 1kg.
