Clavicular’s friend, who was sent back home to Australia, was knocked to the floor after pushing a woman. Kick has now banned him for the incident.

@doctorginge @OctopusEnergy @Alph4betSoup That’s not how this works. When a breach happens, the passwords in the breach are made public. These can then be hashed by companies like Octopus (or, more typically, their auth provider) and these hashes are stored. When a user attempts sign in, password gets hashed & compared

@OctopusEnergy @Alph4betSoup HOW DO YOU KNOW? You are either storing or processing the cleartext password, rather than immediate hashing for comparison. Very Very Very bad IT practice.

This email to me from @OctopusEnergy this morning doesn't make sense bc i use a v different complex password for every single online service i use. If it was from a different service, the password simply wouldn't work.

@MBrundleF1 They say every commentator has their landmark moment. For me it was when you spotted Lando’s crash in Belgium qualifying that year. Still have no idea how you saw it - incredible call.

Utter clickbait nonsense Margaret, don’t be concerned. I’ve done 16 races per year for a good while now and continue to do so. In fact with the cancellations I am at 15 of the remaining 19 races this season, subject to world events of course, as always.
Margaret Sheldon@Sheldon1Maggie

Nooooo! I love @MBrundleF1’s commentary. I understand though as he needs to put him and his family first. Thankfully I love listening to @JensonButton’s insight too.

@zerohedge Realistically, whats 100ms-200ms extra latency on a streaming text response 🤷🏼 Near shore AI isn’t necessary outside of a tiny handful of use cases & adds complexity and cost

@tlattss @itzurboiiiii @terrikibiriti There’s literally no way it was done in the 1960s. I say this as a technologist, software engineer and someone who’s seen the moon landing exhibit at the Smithsonian. Zero chance that thing went anywhere near the moon surface

Curious observation 3 months+ on from my last handwritten line of code as an engineer. Finding myself about 50% more fatigued after a days work. I think because agents turn 3-6 hours into 30-60 minutes effort, its a bit like running on a mental treadmill for 8 hours vs walking.

@mikeinsoftware @jonathanzliu Faster payouts by quite a big margin. Apple = 33-45 days after month end. Stripe = 7 days, proven businesses can apply for % instant payout too I believe

@Rika1___ @LukeCrane88 ✋ Real F1 fan here. Watched since 1994. One of the most enjoyable races in years. F1 has finally fixed the problem that has plagued the sport for decades. Overtaking and following closely works at last.

@LukeCrane88 There is no real F1 fan who enjoyed this. Not even Merc or Russell fans, I haven't met many people like that. This is not F1 anymore, this is not racing. And I'm not talking about Merc dominance that can be overcome. It's about the whole regulation thing, and the crappy, slow car

I have never seen the F1 community so united. McLaren, Ferrari & Red Bull fans, Lando, Max & Charles fans to name a few all think these regs are total horsehit. The drivers & team owners agree. What the fuck have they done. It’s so bad!

@the_zb_ “Can’t race” - 120 overtakes during the race and 7 swaps of the lead in the first ~10 laps, each requiring skill to execute. The racing has been fixed for the first time in 20+ years (and I say this as someone who has been watching since 94)

The race played out exactly as expected. And we really need a fast reaction from the FIA and FOM. The drivers can’t race in these cars, it’s nothing more than position swaps through battery dumps that then get reversed back to how it was unless a driver does an aggressive barge into the other guy. They’re too energy starved for the drivers to do anything but listen to their battery management engineer on where to lift or brake earlier to try and scour a tad more energy to use the overtake button. George struggled to get past a 7-8 tenths per lap slower Ferrari, and needed a pit stop sequence. In the best car with the best PU by a mile. That’s where we are at. I don’t recall a single non-lap-1 true racing move overtake - swapping spots temporarily via battery until the battery also swaps you back is not an “overtake”, and it’s certainly not racing. I’ll have to scour some highlights. Needless to say, it’s what we thought it would be.
Zach Brown@the_zb_

There are some real misunderstandings here about the grumbling surrounding the regulations. I’ve seen several voices claiming that people upset about the regs are just “sour grapes” because it looks like Mercedes will dominate. That’s a mistaken take. People and drivers are aggrieved and extremely disappointed in the inherent NATURE of the regulations, and how the cars must be driven (not driven, as the case may be), and how heinously offensive it is to watch. That will not change no matter what the development trajectory looks like. The product on track looks offensive. It’s awful. And it’s inherent to the nature of the regs - it’s not changing. Harvesting for such electrification means a permanent and unchangeable sacrifice of driver differentiation in high speed. That is obvious at this point, the needs of the regulation mandate this. There’s no room to engineer around this, physics is physics. And that is a damning, heinous thing to watch. It’s so anti-racing and so anti-F1 that it’s an exercise in cognitive dissonance watching an onboard. I hope to goodness that we all refuse to try and condition ourselves to accept this as “normal” or just “something to get used to”. It’s not about parity, it’s not about who is in front or behind. You may or may not believe me when I say that, but this product would be no better if Ferrari were 2 seconds ahead of everyone. This is not F1. And I hope there is a swift and decisive fix, and a colossal push toward regulatory overhaul by 2029 with turbo V8’s with mild hybrid assist (turbo lag mitigation) and sustainable fuels. That is the solution.
