I no longer have an ISP that injects ads into HTTP-only pages, but I did have one once. MITM is quite possible.

To a conservative, yep! Conservative morality is inherently relativist, those who do not share their world view deserve punishment, and our suffering makes the world better.

The core problem is a difference in values. You value your own health over causing people you dislike to suffer. They value causing people they dislike to suffer over their own health. Which choice is "better" is subjective. I&#x2

I liked the classes I had with a "reverse" format: the "homework" was done in-class, checked for correctness but not part of the grade, and the lecture was a recording watched at home.

IME having a "rubber duck" for debugging & planning can be helpful. Having it talk back is a significant boost. Having it write the code isn't. AI is nice at helping me explain the problem I'm trying to solve to myse

An extra tier of standard library which can make breaking changes, perhaps. Rust's stability guarantee for std means cryptography really shouldn't go in there, since sometimes algorithms & protocols get broken (DES, MD5, SHA1,

Batteries & solar (with sunlight) can black start if they have grid-forming inverters. Grid-following inverters are cheaper, but there's nothing physical or engineering-based that prevents using grid-forming inverters on enough ren

The head of the Department of Health is solidly opposed to the development of vaccines. And the COVID mRNA vaccine increases carditis risk less than getting COVID without having had the vaccine does, and decreases the risk of severe cardi

Huh? Satellites follow fixed orbits, they don't get moved around to fly over a specific location. They can take images of everything they pass over.

Those were Trump's proposed solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic. Their post is quite clear: the US has an utterly incompetent administration which is actively opposed to the best known method for preventing the spread of deadly viruses:

Also, I just checked, and LinkedIn's privacy policy page doesn't contain any information about who viewed my profile in the last year. No usernames, no company names, it's just a generic privacy policy. So the data isn't

I've got a 61mp camera, and an RX 7900XT. It takes about 15s/picture for DXO to denoise, which is a lot longer than people are willing to wait on a phone to take a photo. Topaz is even slower. A cloud service could be used to do

I've been learning FreeCAD, while it's still more frustrating than Fusion or SolidWorks it's much better than it used to be pre-1.1, and it's FOSS. Also constraint-based, I've been using the new spreadsheet view as

The big hardware issue is that QKD requires point-to-point links between the endpoints that authenticate to one another. That doesn't scale well to more than a handful of endpoints. Even if the endpoint hardware is free. The big logica

Of course that also means you need a mesh network topology (every node needs a direct link to the node it wants to share qubits with), so a quantum internet (interconnected network of networks) is impossible.

HTTPS encrypts the password in transit, but the remote server (verifier) still gets the plaintext of the password. You need a PAKE to use a password without transmitting it to the verifier.

Of course there's a solar factor. The question is the size of the effect. The effect of increasing CO2 is much, much larger than the effect of variations in the sun's energy output.

Even 1 year is still a lot longer than "immediately getting burned". Fuel gets consumed immediately when it's used, it doesn't keep being re-used for a year or more.

They're spec complaint with genuine USB-PD charging capability. Some devices are counterfeit with fake USB logos & USB-C connectors but not compliant with the specs. I blame the counterfeit sellers & manufacturers.

They typically don't require any custom one-off parts to be made, just mass-produced off-the-shelf stuff, so they're common enough.
