I've wondered this as well. Are there tools that will automatically run through all kinds of existing cryptographic algorithms to figure out which ones you're dealing with? Because it sounds to me like throwing enough layers of sh

Why are teenagers subjected to this kind of stuff anyway? It's usually pretty apparent that they don't like this stuff. They won't tell you outright, because they're trained to be compliant and taught to never entirely d

How can universities afford things like this, when, at the same time, there seems to be a big student loan problem in the US?

Couldn't you just open it in a new window and resize/tile your existing windows?

I understand that solar panels are hardy, but these kinds of icy conditions even impact things such as asphalt - literal rock. I find it somewhat difficult believe that there's no wear and treat associated with icy weather, but I can&#

Do solar panels wear down in extreme weather? Eg if it regularly drops below -30C in winter, will that have a negative impact on the solar panel's lifespan? Because if it does then that's another factor to consider.

That's great until there's cloudy weather (and/or a snowstorm) for an extended period of time. Suddenly, everyone has a much larger bill for that month. Also, what about all the people living in apartments?

How do I vote with my wallet though? The only alternative is an iPhone which fulfills a somewhat different role functionally.

They've been bleeding marketshare for a long time. They're essentially the only realistic alternative to Chromium yet their marketshare is eroding. I'm not sure that's a good example of a successful spin off like that.

I think the chance that a commercial company is going to spin off into a community-driven non-profit is pretty low. Or at least their chance of success is going to be low. The examples you gave built up their communities over time.

I think so too. The main thing is that it might even lower how much money is paid for that healthcare system in total.

This is the crazy part to me. You have private insurance, but the quality of the insurance is so piss poor that one wonders what the point of it is in the first place. Nothing seems to ever be fully covered under it.

The issue in the US seems to be that even if you have a decent insurance plan you can still easily end up getting treatment by someone out of network. An anaesthesiologist or similar.

I think the internet would stay much the same as it is now. Companies would simply be breaking the law. As a side effect, I think they'd be more willing to do other illegal things too, such as straight up selling your data. They'r

Because my Chrome already takes 6GB of memory and thus needs to be restarted once in a while. If those forces me to close apps I want to continue using then that will annoy me.

Who's going to raise this issue though? And what if they put this in the browser's T&C?

Does it? Every time somebody pays in cash in a store here they run each bill through a machine that, I'm pretty sure, checks the authenticity of the bill.
