This is a genuine question, and I apologize in advance if this ever comes across as ableist. Would you still have taken the job knowing that your vision issues might (hypothetically) endanger yourself and others in the line of work? This is

In the text it is mentioned that the chemical requires significant effort to crack or activate for the desired (or undesired) effect. Of which I assume is difficult to carry out under combat conditions. Similar compounds have been used as c

Just wanna chime in and say that Mentour has been doing a great job with his videos. There is a lot of low effort air crash videos on YouTube that does not do much more than reading off the official report or the script of an ACI episode. M

I wonder how accurate are the results really, or maybe I wasn't interpreting the numbers correctly. Accessing Google.com from my Moto G7 Power (a phone about 30% faster than G4 in terms of CPU performance) shows no seconds long delay.

I broke my Kindle by dropping it a few years back and the number of books I've read really took a nosedive from then. Maybe it's time to buy another one.

Do you know if it defrags MFT in NTFS partitions? Asking because I've ran into issues with MFT fragmentation before and it took me a long time to find tools that will actually attempt to fix it and the process took a long time.

Except the worldwide birth rate did not change much in 2020, even for countries severely affected by Covid like US and Brazil. The apparent sharp drop from 1.6 to 1.3 probably had no relation to the pandemic after all.

Indeed, this has been an issue since the 3G era. I live in New Zealand. 10 years ago one of the largest local carriers switched from CDMA to WCDMA-only using the exotic North American 850MHz band whereas all other carriers use the more comm

Hi Nick, very well said and this is precisely my point as well. Satoshi tried to convince us that we could decentralise trust by doing honest work instead of relying on authority. It turns out that doing work is actually pretty hard, people

Is the threat of long range attacks in PoS any worse than PoW in practice? Bitcoin for example still relies on a list of hardcoded nodes for bootstrapping clients. Not to mention very few people actually bother to verify the full chain (360

Apparently they will not be in the stable release of Monterey though it is still possible to patch the drivers in. https://github.com/chris1111/Geforce-Kepler-patcher Fermi was never supported beyond High Sierra IIRC.

So what other options do we have available? We have tried client certificates, hardware tokens, biometrics and a tonne of heuristics. None of these could do much to stop an attack when the user is cooperating with the scammer.
