I see, thanks. I think it would be useful in the docs to describe both some less technical as well as some technical examples of useful applications of your work. Do you have some examples of _concrete problems_ that would be easily solved

Wow thank you for the link! I couldn’t see on their website anywhere if they also rent 4K UHD discs.

Sad. When the option became available, I switched to 8 discs out at a time. Here’s where I also rent from. They have many items. Sadly they limit rentals to a fixed number each month. USA store. https://www.store-3d-blurayrental.

I think you're conflating two things. Protecting against modification of data in-transit can be done without encryption. Signing the clear-text content allows the receiver to verify if the data is original. Encrypting hides the content

I would agree. Immigration experience depends on your situation. Marriage to a citizen has been simple. Same with parents to a citizen.

Excellent, thank you. I did a quick search for something, and the AirBNB fee was slightly higher ($20) than the US website for the same listing (dates, people, etc.)

Linux uses strscpy. See [1] [2] [3]. The issues of concern are to always NUL-terminate, and to effectively know if the result was truncated. Truncation can lead to big issues, especially if the string being composed refers to paths, device

Not quite the same thing here. Unsubscribing is reversible and without data loss. Account deletion should be hard(er) due to the irreversible nature.

The movie Dark Waters sheds some light on this. DuPont knew of its effects and hid their studies.

Read the bank's main announcement. > Can the bank redeem the CD early? (Also known as a “callable CD”) > No. Only the account holder can choose to redeem the CD prior to maturity (with applicable penalty for early withdrawal).

Real table salt is never to be used as an ice melter on streets. “Salt” here is used in the chemical definition I would think.

I assumed Singapore was a "modern" country with education, openness, etc. but the blocking of websites resembles closed countries like China and Russia.

Living in big cities within "red" states is not like living in the state itself outside the city, other than you are all affected by the same state laws (unless the latter is the main concern). Atlanta GA, Austin TX, etc. are all
