Many reactors can be updated to last longer than their initial design lifetime. This is usually far cheaper than building a new reactor. I expect that if the political environment in germany was more conducive to nuclear, that is what they

The only way to protect against that is if a secure application boundary is enforced by the operating system. You can make it harder for other programs to uncover secrets by encrypting them, but any other application can reverse the encrypt

If windows is encrypted with keys from the TPM anyways, then tailscale doesn't need to encrypt a second time. Windows also bit me in the ass with this feature, but tailscale not enabling encryption wouldn't have helped one iota.

You have totally misunderstood what the person you are talking with means by unsafe. Perhaps you should resolve that prior to such condescensions.

Prices are not an end to themselves. Prices are useful because they tell you how much something is worth. If you're trading against somebody who has more information than you, than you are probably losing money, since they wouldn'

This is begging the question. Games on linux lack kernel anticheat because linux isn't very popular. Once linux is popular enough, then they will figure out a way to do anti cheat on it in a way that they consider acceptable. Valve alr

You could, I dunno, trust your son, communicate with him, and let him make decisions for himself? If instead of wasting all your time on scam products trying to isolate him from the world, you'd spent the same time teaching him to navi

Sure, except I doubt most people want to uglify all their urls with extensions for occasional alternates. Plus, if the url with the extension gets past around instead of the original (as would inevitably be done) you're back to square

I would say "vary" is the wrong way to solve that problem. The issue is that there can easily be a bunch of stupid inconsequential differences between accept headers, far beyond simply asking for type x versus type y. Slightly dif
