What happens if we can't find a carbon capture method that works efficiently and at scale? We need about a million better plans than that to maintain any sense of sanity.

This is a wonderful answer! I return to my main calling: figuring out why people use PLT scheme without an academic incentive. There must be an answer here somewhere....

Did you want to grace us with any particular relevance of this knowledge or do you just wanna keep it to yourself? Sadly, after all these years programming, I have yet to discern any real vulnerability in the US government.

Ok, so to state the obvious, if you don't turn to racket for "programming language research" why do you use the language at all?

Any choice more secure than SMS will only empower the consumer. You're pointing out a real problem, but the first step is at least an alternative.

Ok, I honestly don't know—is there a way to use this to secure access to an account generally, without having access to the password? I.e. do authentication providers use phone as a sole method of identity verification for any major se

Is there any indication Linux is going to adopt a pledge/unveil api in the near future? It's hard to place faith in systems like app armor that rely on system administrators to implement security guarantees.

Prescriptions are tied to billing. The main party with the incentive to withhold treatment is the party expecting a direct payment from the patient. I might see some concern if there's concern about abuse of the treatment, but that see
