> on another note, it seems silly to have both firefox and safari. perhaps there is some unificaiton strategy that we can get these two to pursue. combined, they certainly have enough marketshare to drive webmasters.

Was 2005 really such a different time with respect to monopolies that someone like Brin would actually think it's "silly" for more than one browser to have significant market share? Wasn't Microsoft punished also for bundling IE with Windows?

There's been a recent article [1] about a very similar students' project at Darmstadt University. Interesting to see that the post referenced here precedes this by about five years.

Does it have a standard tripod mount? Also, maybe for a later iteration, if you could make a case that enables compatibility with GoPro accesories would be plus.

Otherwise, I'm very impressed, it requires a lot of dedication and different abilities to makes something like that!

> In 2021 the "Doge" meme sold as a non-fungible token (NFT) for $4m (£3.2m).

> Kabosu is also the face of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin, which was originally created as a "joke" currency and is the sleeve sponsor of Watford Football Club.

Absurd times we live in, comedic and dramatic at the same time.

If what they call 'consistency' is just the total number of stories posted, it's not really surprising to see a strong correlation with total karma points, is it? The more stories posted, the more karma gathered. Anything else would be a real head scratcher.

You could say, there might be people who keep posting stories even though the don't get upvoted, but that would be kind of irrational. If the community doesn't seem to be interested in what they post, they will stop doing so sooner or later.

Germany's head of state was involved in the biggest financial scandal of its existence and forgave a corrupt bank that stole millions of taxes just a few years before going into office.

corruption is spreading like a plague with no consequence in sight for anyone involved.

Olaf Scholz is the head of the government, Germany's head of state is its president, currently Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
