just an fyi: you can use the -diff_base flag to diff the profiles without opening both profiles side-by-side.

Some places on the coasts bury them as well. My wife grew up on the coast and it wasn’t uncommon to go a few days or more without power each year because wind storms would knock over trees onto the power lines. They’ve since buried a lot of

They make water flavorings. I’m sure there are plenty of zero calorie options. Or, add some lime and lemon.

Dumb question: isn’t it possible you got sick normally (because you moved to a different country, etc.)? And the tap water timing coincides with recovering?

Jeez, where do you live that people have five bathrooms?

It’s fuzzy hashing, so they don’t need the bit-for-bit same image. Outside the US and other western countries, this could be a government (Russia? Chechnya?) forcing Apple to look for LGBT pride flags.

The FBI can request until they’re blue in the face. They don’t make laws. And so far, there aren’t any laws preventing Apple from encrypting backups.

Or, get the contentious part out of the way so that your E2EE announcement isn’t overshadowed. I don’t know how much I believe that, though.

Yes: https://law.justia.com/cases/california/court-of-appeal/2016... But also she’s a director at NCMEC. What else is she supposed to say? “Cool I guess, thanks Apple.”

That doesn’t mean your physical ballot can be traced back to you, however. Your vote is secret, the fact that you’ve registered isn’t.

SSNs used as IDs is terrible, but it’s a little glib to say we don’t have national ID cards because they’re “tyranny.” There are very real problems, like discrimination and degradation of privacy: https://www.aclu.org/other&

Most of my friends don’t even know what a file system is, so I’d say having opinions about it puts them above average.

That also depends on the severity of the bug. :)

If AES is broken before your iPhone is destroyed then you have bigger problems than somebody reading your data.

Macs with SSDs don’t have the 7-pass option because (from the horse’s mouth) it’s only effective for HDDs.

Sure it does. My employer notices when I work hard. Since they want to retain me as an employee, they compensate me accordingly. Similarly, I were to _not_ work hard my employer would certainly notice and want to reduce my compensation. Wor

I mean, the Python2 vs Python3 split was primarily caused by language changes, not tooling. And Go’s 1.x comparability promise is rock solid. It seems difficult to compare the two.

No. Government and politics are primarily local because most problems are local. For instance, I have zero clue about life in NYC. Letting me directly influence decisions in NYC is wholly unfair. I have no skin in the game! How good or bad

I’m not sure how true it is, but the common refrain I keep seeing on HN and elsewhere is that Google’s promotion track incentivizes new products over maintaining and expanding current products.

Aircraft carrier size baffles. That’s crazy!

I think when you’re doing things on an aircraft-carrier scale the budget is usually, “yes.”

So, in general I definitely agree. But it’s also important to recognize that it’s difficult to know what you don’t know. My first year in college I was placed into “math in the real world”—the class for kids that can’t even cut it in a 100-

National Review is explicitly a conservative magazine. It’s like Jacobin, but for conservatives.

Tangentially related: one reason I try very hard not to shop at Walmart is because they try hard to make you feel like a criminal. For instance, hanging from the ceiling smack-dab in the middle of some aisles are little TVs showing you that
