I also do not understand how this doesn't break stuff like CFAA. If I worked at a company and gave my work login credentials to a friend and that friend used it to access my work's network then I'm pretty sure I'd go to…
Also if that many people were put out of a job, to the level that their basic needs were no longer met, there would be mass unrest/revolution and all of the robot production and data centers would be burned to the…
I doubt it will become law either way. Congress.gov says Rep. Ritchie Torres has sponsored 171 bills since 2021 and only one became a law, five passed the House and most of those were under Democrat majority. [1] [1]…
I have a number of family and friends who met online through video games or through online matchmaking websites (and one even through a dating app, starts with an H). Successful, long term, loving and happy…
My elderly mom has (had?) familial essential tremor and did two ultrasound brain lesion treatments: one for each hand. The treatment was very effective. She went from not being able to eat soup without making a mess and…
I think you're begging the question a bit here by assuming China is spending excess wealth. In 2024 China's general government debt was 88.33% of GDP, the US was 120.79% [1] Now in 2026 we can look at the Financial…
Iron Mountain does it but they used an existing limestone mine with a large water reservoir [1][2] Edit: I guess the scale isn't comparable to a, for example, Google data center though. [1]…
You can look up crime clearance rates. It's a little depressing. Here's an FBI chart for 2019 [1] Though some states like Japan and Germany have really good clearance rates for homicide. [2] But more heartening, it…
Are you saying to take a hash of a picture and convert that to base 6 for your dice rolls to plug into a word list for creating a passphrase? Is that actually better (in practice, not in terms of entropy) than…
Probably poetic license. You can look at the pictures and see everything looks very clean. The jugs are sealed. We can't see any "overflowing" buckets. Looking at some water samples under a microscope is not really that…
Certainly it didn't implode and is not failing but it's not clear to me that its user base is increasing from pre-Musk. And Threads supposedly has a similar number of active users. Twitter had around 230 million…
My elderly parents regularly click the sponsored links in Google search results. I don't think it even registers for them that they're ads (even though I have informed them multiple times). Same for sponsored items in…
Mostly a clarification of what I find DNS ad blocking works for on Android, which seems to be somewhat different from your experience (probably we use different apps). A weak rebuttal of the reason why DNS adblock…
Ads from providers like Google AdMob and AppLovin are blocked. Apps could bundle their own DNS or DoH resolver or use hardcoded static IP addresses but in my experience most do not. Youtube ads do not get blocked by DNS…
Yes, I use Firefox on Android with ublock origin, it works great. But using adblocking DNS on your phone will also block most in-app ads which is a big quality of life improvement. I could also use a VPN to keep my…
I use Mullvad's adblocking DNS server on my phone which is not always behind my home router.
Isn't this true of nearly all mental disorders in DSM-5 and ICD-11? We don't really know what mental disorders are and so we don't have objective diagnostic tests for them. [1] We just have treatments that sometimes…
Grade school level Louisiana info (probably somewhat wrong): It's generally brackish marsh/swamp land. Basically think silt/dirt with a bunch of plants evolved for this specific environment. Then you take a bunch of…

While I don't agree with the phrasing of the above comment it doesn't seem factually wrong? The article states similar coordinated currency manipulation (to instead weaken the yen) happened in 2011 after the Tohoku…
Looks like the cases are still ongoing. You can find the defendant names in this article (from the wikipedia link) [1] and then look up some basic case info by name: google "new york WebCriminal Defendant Search" and…
Yeah, I had questions when Kurt Kelty was saying that Peak's battery was "kicking butt" after the article said Peak is still building their battery factory and currently buys its cells from China. Is GM testing Peak's…
I feel like some of that is maybe shopping at the wrong place. Which the article I guess covers by saying people are addressing by changing retailers to save money. Where I am in the US, you can get a dozen eggs for ~$2…
Yeah but now everyone has cell phones and LED street lights that sometimes feel brighter than the sun. It's worth trying again, it's not like it can't be reverted again.
When you're in your doctor's office and discussing the tests they want to order you're very unlikely to be able to get the cost right there during your appointment. You would probably need to have the doctor print you a…
