One definition of a cult I've liked is "A cult is a group you can't leave with your dignity intact". You can really get a good understanding if something is a cult by the way they talk about their ex members. A healthy

> Not everyone or every group that exhibits some of these behaviors is going to be a cult. But the warning signs are something everyone should be aware of. I agree, but I'd say a lot of the BITE attributes can be damaging regardless

Look, fun quick game that I'd not knock anyone for playing. But it's not informative about cults in the slightest. It's just a caricature of what "satanic panic" [1] people thought a cult was. Real cults are much m

I believe Intel is also a pretty prominent member in the standards committee. Mostly for historic reasons as I don't think they have too much market share outside of PC/laptop wifi modules. But I agree, Broadcom and Qualcomm are

Client side don't you just add Realtek and Intel? I don't think almost anyone else does wifi chips.

Wifi is a weird one, consumer devices arrive very quickly (often times before the standard is finalized). You can expect devices as early as next year.

Man I sort of miss the cartridge CPU. I get why it's not a thing anymore, but man was it fun to slot in a CPU like you would an old SNES game.

I'm pretty sure I had exactly that heat sink and man was the pressure crazy (Thermalright IIRC). I'm pretty sure my screwdriver slipped and gashed the board, luckily I didn't notice damage.

I'd say there is a pretty common thread for it, but man is it a mishmash of interests, which really makes it charming. It's certainly not focused. Sure this site is about RF, but the owner decided they'd throw in basically a

Right, but I think what makes this interesting is the destruction happened only after violating his civil rights. Had they simply seized the device the data wouldn't have been destroyed. He refused to give them the pass code several

It's crazy, IMO, that they didn't simply design otel clients. Making this giant cross language framework is an insane endeavor that just makes everyone unhappy.

> It's worth noting wiping a device shortly before an anticipated search could also be considered destruction of evidence in the same way. Look, if we are talking about a warranted search in the US then I'd agree with you. How

I agree. Java has the same ability to quickly add deps, and in some case they can be sprawling, but it's still perfectly possible to develop complex apps without a lot of deps coming in. Culture has a lot to do with it.

I believe what's being suggested is that `cargo audit` should be a part of cargo rather than an add on. You'd obviously already have cargo installed, which means you should be able to run a command against cargo to see if you are

This is a misunderstanding of QI. Like, it's true that QI is a lot harder to overcome if there's no prosecution. However, you don't need to have prosecution to overcome it. The "Qualified" part of "Qualified

Civilly you can still overcome QI without prosecution, but it's indeed a lot harder to do. Regardless, IMO, criminal prosecution is the thing that's truly lacking. It's not as if there aren't criminal codes around gover

I believe the comment was talking specifically about immunotherapy rather than personalized mRNA. But I'd agree it's still misinformed as immunotherapy has been a game changer across multiple cancers.

I believe both were done with Keytruda. Control was Keytruda without the mRNA treatment. So this should answer the question of "how much better is this with the best we currently have".

We still have Medicare, Medicaid, and social security. Even though each program has been weakened, none of them have been abolished and they can all be restored. Heck, we still have SNAP, even though it's almost universally hated by r

That's not a refute. As I said, flock is providing no barrier. It's the responsibility of the cops to not use the system illegally. And the police don't really care [1]. You could almost certainly do that audit nationwide

The issue, I think, is a large number of people don't realize the NIH or NIS exists or know what they do. I think most people support them once the realize exactly what they are doing. How could you not when "They research treatm

Correct. 5 years is long enough to kill off inferior standards and let superior ones blossom.
