Please to find at least as of this very moment it is accessible in the good ol USA

Their legal defence strategy is actually built around the fact that the original copy is destroyed after scanning, so they are not increasing the number of copies they own.

Just to be clear, the money the SpaceX investors stole from NASDAQ ETF holders is very, very real. People should go to prison for the financial chicanery around this IPO. At least S&P resisted the urge to fuck their customers.

In reply to tfb.

You don't have to cut the spine off a book to scan it, but it is cheaper, so of course that's what they do.

When my father-in-law died we found that the Street View (yes yes, not the same thing) of his house had caught him out front using the push-mower to mow the lawn. For 2+ years it was kinda heart warming to go look at his address and see him out front mowing with an antiquated, 1960s era push mower.

And for sfpd.mil.

Stay tuned for "sfgovorg.biz".

Link or it didn't happen

"Florida and George put the county. In case these people forget where they live overnight."

The question that none of the cited links have answered is: given that sfgov.org and sf.gov have had the same IP address for who-knows-how-long-now, why are they still advertising sfgov.org instead of the other one?

"AB 1637, signed into law in 2023, mandates that all public-facing websites and email domains operated by California state and local government agencies transition to domains ending in .gov by January 1, 2029."

Presumably someone will start trying to search-and-replace the web sites two years from now in December 2028, screw it up, and then an extension will be granted. It should be finished by around the time Caltrans reaches Salesforce.

Also: if you have two different domains that serve the same content, instead of one of them being HTTP 301 Moved Permanently... I hate you.

Checked the links. The reasoning is indeed pretty stupid.

In reply to Zippington T. Whatsis.

And?

people straight up do not believe us when we say "a .org domain used to mean the website belonged to an actual nonprofit", because that hasnt been the case for 25 years at this point

TLD. Totally Lame Decisions. :)

i gave up after they let anyone register a .net which wasn't being used to label a network. nothing has made any sense since. that was 1990? ;)

Oracle's AI investment was initially rewarded with a huge stock jump...and then in months the stock value dropped to just barely above its 2023 numbers.

Annoyingly, that doesn't seem to have affected the ability of them to get the money to pay for the Warner/Paramount merger nobody (but them) wants. For normal peons, a line-of-credit on a stock collateral that dropped 50% would have had the margin called on them by now.

In reply to Patrick Morris Miller.

The joke was those were the rules in place for .gov and .us domains at the time... in the 1990s.

In reply to I AM BANKSY ☕ / 🗑‍🔥.

Correctly so

Reminds me of the time when the tax office of Basel, Switzerland had to buy a domain in the Bahamas in a hurry: https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/31/swiss-tax-authority-forced-to-buy-bahamas-domain-name-after-url-typo/ (the swiss public broadcast service on that: https://www.srf.ch/news/schweiz/fehler-mit-folgen-basler-steuerverwaltung-muss-domain-auf-den-bahamas-kaufen - yes, Basel screwed up that badly)

In reply to Ryan Finnie.

I'm a city employee and $PLACE_OF_ORK's domain *changed* from a .CITY.STATE.us to a .gov just a few years ago. Care to try again?

In reply to jwz.

Coming soon, for ease of memory: sfgov.org.com

In reply to jwz.

The only thing I can think of, and I'm scared to check if it exists, would be creating .verified ... And even then I suspect folks with a goal of enabling phishing would consider .zip and .app too obvious of a ploy and likely to be rejected as TLDs

Sorry, not quite. Liz Truss became PM on 9/6/22. Subsequently there were problems with the budget and predictions began about her political demise.

The lettuce thing started on 10/14/22 with an anticipated shelf life of 10 days. She announced her resignation on 10/20/22.

So while Truss herself only lasted 49 days and the lettuce did outlast her, the lettuce only had to manage 6 days.

visited the link out of curiosity and the links led to links led to links... it brought back nostalgia for a certain era of the internet

Look we both know the SF government, if it's not incompetence, it's corruption. So we should be grateful it's not stupid, it's advaaaaaaaaanced, er, "simple and easier to remember"

In reply to McDanno.

simple and easier to remember

sf.gov vs I've already forgotten what it was.

In reply to Karellen.

This is, after all, the person who wrote books in which there is a slave-race, who are, you know, only happy if they are slaves.

In reply to Ryan Finnie.

Incorrect. As long as it's a government in the US, you can get a .gov.

In reply to jwz.

well actually, clicking the link isn't enough, you also need to read them.

Sadly we now seem to live in a post clock world.
