AOL is over valued by $1.5B
You would think, but perhaps the perceived value is the email archives of some of AOL's celebrity customers over the years, such as Joe Biden.

I need and like the exercise, but stories like this are why I am not a cyclist.
If the Python development team is hiring on other than merit, then in the long run it's not worth that money.
When a kid gets killed, that kids parents is unlikely to be solaced by the fact that other kids are safer.
And I'll bet that the first kids to get killed will gangbangers who intentionally jump in front of a robotaxi to loot the passengers.
Raising the operating temperature of reactors by using molten salt as a coolant would be a big advantage, even with the current overall design. It would permit dry air to be used as the heat sink. Reactors could be installed in desert and on military bases far from NIMBYs and their lawyers.
We have three years to get this started. When the Democrats come back we will be able to use modern healthcare tech again, but our clean energy options will shrink back to EU levels.
One of the chief effects of lead is brain damage.
And here I thought that brain damage caused veganism. Actually it's the other way around.
This isn't government funded.
And that's is exactly WHY Startship represents economy, not waste.
When the government attacked the problem of getting crews and cargo into orbit, it developed Space Shuttle, which required a standing army of 35,000 people just to keep it running. It never achieved its reusability and reliability goals. SpaceX came into the picture with Falcon-9, whose reusable first stage cut the cost of getting to orbit by 90%, and achieved 100% reliability. Starship is on the way to reusability of both stages and fast turnaround at much greater payloads. And no, these efforts are not being "subsidized by NASA." SpaceX gets the job done so much cheaper that NASA contracts the company for most of its flights, as does an increasing base of purely commercial business operators.
Other countries have applied various opportunistic squeezes of that kind to exert control over Internet businesses that are outside their jurisdiction. One example was Brazil forcing X to delete the accounts of its current president's political opponents by threatening the Brazilian presences of SpaceX and Tesla, unrelated Musk-owned businesses. I'm not a big fan of Donald Trump, but I like that he whacked Brazil with punitive tariffs for taking this action. The message sent is that any tinhorn who uses such squeeze techniques to enforce laws not in its jurisdiction can be squeeze right back, and hard.
The fine is apparently because they won't provide the online equivalent of a building permi
And that's the whole problem. 4chan is not demanding any sort of "building" right in the UK. It operates in the US and maintains a presence on the international Internet. The limit of the UK's jurisdiction is to block access to it within its own borders. It has no right to impose fines or take police actin outside those borders.
Awww! Now poor baby has to give up his hostages!
The Eu response to innovation is to pass more punitive regulation. This is why the US has SpaceX while the EU makes Lego bricks.
The Mac Mini is ideal for a user just coming up from Windows hell. It can use your existing monitor, mouse and keyboard and can be surprisingly cheap if you buy a year-old unit from the "official" refurb store. This will be your first experience of booting up without that ten-minute wait cursor as the PC rattles away doing Gates knows what.
Abandoned hotel rooms? How is anything abandoned in NYC in 2025?
Because every broom closet, subway toilet and dumpster in town is now an AirBnB.
Use of airships as a sky-crane would allow large structures, such as long sections of maglev viaduct, to be built in factories rather than laboriously assembled on site. Quality would be much higher and build time shorter.
A dirigible, tes - and if it were remotely controlled and unmanned, you could even use cheap, available hydrogen as the lifting gas.
