I read the headline and my immediate guess was cryptocurrency. I clicked and, sure enough, there it was. Maybe it's time to refine some of these ideas? While regular money does get stolen, maybe storing it online isn't the best me

§97.403 may be saying otherwise, but I could be reading it wrong. It does look pretty subjective, though that may be intentional.

For better or worse, society respects a well dressed person with manners more than they do a spittle-flecked zealot. I suspect more people have been turned away from desktop Linux precisely because of this. It has been very, very socially h

See also: https://www.textise.net/ It's remarkably handy and I use it more often than I'd expect.

Oh, they are pretty horrible. I was more concerned with presentation than content. I support the idea of educating people about the horribleness of the American Red Cross. I also know it is more effective to do so by engaging then demanding

Have those graphene supercapacitors become commercially available? If so, you may be able to do without a battery at all. Well, depending on use, available charge, and efficiency.

Thanks. I think I read similar, though maybe I decided in my head that a declared state of emergency was the qualifier. As it is a declared state of emergency, I'd speculate that that's a life or death situation? I suspect it&#x27

As bad as it is, or as bad as it can be - as not everyone has bad experiences, I'm not sure I can recommend being dishonest with a mental health care provider during a time of crisis. Unfortunately, the system is designed to deal with

Maybe a better statement would be, "If you donate to the Red Cross then know what your donation is going to support..." Then maybe you can enumerate the complaints and, if wanted, provide citations. As it is, I think some folks ma

I once read that, during a declared emergency, you didn't need a license to operate the radio. I'm pretty sure it was on an official site, though it may have been on ARRL's site. I am unable to find it, so I'm not sure i

There are plenty of uses that don't require you to give them as much trust as people do. I'd never suggest banking on a smartphone, but people do. I'd use a separate email, just for the smartphone. I'd not store medical

Theroux's got a lot of stuff on YouTube. It may be copyright infringement, I don't know. I do know that it sits there, unchallenged, for years. He has lots of good documentaries up. I highly recommend all of them.

I believe the law, varies by State, usually mandates a minimal of 72 hours of observation in a psychiatric facility when there has been an attempt, or credible threat, reported. Additionally, some classes of people are mandated reporters. I

Pushing the guard turned it into robbery, a felony. The DA was willing to be lenient and give him 30 days with a partially suspended sentence and probation.

It did happen in the US. It was in Maine, which is where I retired to. I'd be more specific but Tom deserves his privacy.

The criminal conviction was going to mean a lost scholarship. At no point in the story is there not something that can't be criticized. From the cost of education, to feeling the need to dress in accordance to a certain style, to the r

No computer system, or even individual computer that has the ability to be turned on, is 100% safe. Every system can be compromised, if the attackers have enough time and resources. So, your last sentence is true. However, there are ways to

The first four digits are pretty generic. They tell you who issued the card. Many people will have the same first four digits. Maybe the second set of four and the last set of four would be better? Usually the first four is the issuer and w

Coincidentally, the cop that shot him is the son of another friend of mine. We were in boot together and mostly stationed with each other. His son now has PTSD and no longer serves on the police force. I believe he is getting some sort of c

I believe the only realistic option is single payer. Elsewhere in the thread, I voiced my displeasure at using insurance for regular medical care. I think using insurance for regular care is silly. Doing so and complaining about the prices

True, but that didn't stop me as misreading it as the 7s. I'd already read the 6 as a 7. The reading comprehension train had already left the station.

Tom, name made up, is a friend of mine. Sort of... I knew Tom for only a short while but I still write him letters and send him a few dollars every couple of weeks. When Tom was just 18, he had finished school and was headed off to a large

I'd be interested in doing something like that. I'm not sure that they'd let me, as I have firearms in the home, though they are secured in safes and the ammunition is secured in different safes, I'd not want more money

I know the Micmac (Mi'kmaq) people had pictographs before European influence. We still have some of those but, curiously, our tribal dialect was lost. We aren't sure quite what it was. As it was a dialect spoken by the Penobscot,

Again, much thanks. No more questions, for now. Just a sincere thanks. I don't actually read HN for the articles. I do read many of them, but I'm here for the informative answers, insightful responses, and chances to get an educat

In addition to this, don't keep private (and certainly not illegal) data on a compute device that you walk around with. Maybe, just maybe, treat that device as compromised from the start and treat it accordingly. The idea of using them

Physical locks just keep honest people honest. Also, OP says you can't lose your biometrics. You can, it's just painful and you'll not be the least bit happy about it.

Fascinating. Any recommended sources for more information - more interested in quipu. I'm so Native American that Canada has to let me in, but I've never heard of that. (I have ancestry records and DNA results that show I'm 3

For comparison, they estimate the observable universe contains 10^78 to 10^82 atoms. Though comparison is a bad term. The human brain can't meaningfully picture numbers that large.

I got a downvote for asserting that it was a horrible idea and that they'd suggested we needed 100x that. So, I quoted their post in my next reply. Maybe someone has vested invested in online video content? It really is a horrible way
