That quotation and the other one in the article seem to be from comments on the social media posts, not comments from people actually on the cliff.

Fair point, but we should celebrate any privacy wins we can get. That privacy is a consideration at all is a good start.

It's a render. Sorry for the Reddit link, but this seems to be where the artist posted and discussed it:

With the utmost sincerity, I recommend deleting this and erasing all known copies.

There have been credible reports that they had initiated an emergency ascent, though I am not sure if this is a certainty. If it's true, they were definitely aware that they were in serious danger long enough to make and enact that decision.

I found a real estate listing for the house (yes, you could own this beauty), but I don't know if posting it would count as doxxing per community rules, so I won't. In any case, this is not a business.

They want £300k+. Based on what was written, the whole idea was minimal maintenance and maximum room for parking. The back yard/back "garden" is the same as the front: just a bunch of tile. The interior is less offensive, but just what you'd expect: very modern, lots of black and white and bold shapes.

With the right circumstances, you can sometimes see the actor's pulse on their neck. Sometimes they'll hold their breath or breathe slowly, but there's not much you can do about the heart.

I really don't disagree with you, but if we want democrats to show up and vote, this is not the attitude that will make it happen. People largely believe their votes don't matter. If the candidate is bad anyway, why even bother? I'm not saying this negativity is the only (or biggest) problem, but it is very discouraging.

Let's get better candidates where we can, but we need to go full speed with the best we have. If democrat voter turnout was better, there would be no contest, and maybe we could start having a real dialogue about improvements instead of just fighting to avoid more far right extremism.

The 19-year-old reportedly told family he was terrified. It was Father's Day and his father is very interested in the Titanic, so he went anyway. He was just trying to impress and relate to his father.

Neither, though it behaves a bit like a mirror. It is a Twitter client that fetches data server-side.

Kbin is barely a prototype, so I wouldn't say it has a real approach to the UI. It's about to go through a lot of change as contributors begin working on a more thoughtfully designed UI. Many basics are not even implemented in its current state, so expect it to change a lot. Also third-party apps will start showing up once an API is added.

That is, check on it again in a few weeks.

there's nothing stopping anyone from making mobile apps are alternative web front-ends

The biggest thing stopping people is the fact that the API does not actually work. As far as I can tell, every API endpoint (slowly) returns:

{
    "@context": "/api/contexts/Error",
    "@type": "hydra:Error",
    "hydra:title": "An error occurred",
    "hydra:description": "Internal Server Error"
}

In order for anyone to build new clients, the API first needs to be finished. Unfortunately, the choice of using PHP/Symfony is going to hinder that due to its incredibly low popularity. I got my start in software engineering by professionally writing PHP, but I haven't touched it in at least 15 years.

I'm currently trying to find my way around kbin-core, and it is a mess. There are almost no comments (and some commented-out code with no explanation), huge amounts of what I assume are stubs, and the commit log is a nightmare (commit descriptions are meaningless and repeated, like four commits in a row with only "Post expand fix" as a description).

This needs a lot of work before anyone should start trying to build API integrations.
