Speaking of non-specific, what exactly is A04:2021-Insecure Design supposed to be? That category sounds almost circular in its reasoning: Your software isn't secure because... it's design is insecure? https://owasp.org

Most people surely buy/bought their license with a new PC from an OEM; OEM's apparently always paid much less , e.g. 50$ (in 2009) https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2009/09/micro... -

It's also just plain weird and inconsistent - like so many windows apps by MS. The default OS behavior is fine, and works. Why are they going to the extra effort to break it? Other apps sometimes decide to minimize to the tray, but e

Sigh, now I pressed Win+C because the article mentioned it... of course that opens cortana, the app that insists on being unclosable and sticking around in your alt-tab order, no matter whatever you do. Lovely.

Running a purifier does cause noise however, which isn't healthy; assuming your purifier is close by. (No idea at what point those two effects are of similar impact.)

It's possible; I'm sure the details matter. However, if you can expedite shipping like this, can you do it in bulk? If so, you probably don't need to raise prices by much at all. But it's also quite likely not simply a

High price in these kind of events rarely increases availability - after all, it takes time to increase production or ship more. If high price appears to increase availability, I suspect that's largely because you're pricing peop

I've never written native code for an apple device, but have some low-level experience on other things; my guess would be that idiomatic swift contains safety checks, i.e. predictable branches, but branches nevertheless - and that simp

The incentives to use renewables are there... where the costs of fossil sources are high, and where the energy consuming process will be reliably profitable long enough to pay for all those renewable energy sources. That last bit makes me d

The fact that some inflation is beneficial clearly is the commonly received wisdom, including by whatever experts I could find; I couldn't find any trustworthy source arguing the opposite. A casual dismissal of inflation being neces

Of course its not; no more than the 2008 financial crisis was entirely opt in. Individuals do not have the opportunity to fully control all aspects of the financial system they're exposed to.

The issues weren't with risk per se, nor any minimum bar, but with risky assets dressed up to deceive buyers (and those that audit collateral) into thinking they're not risky. If something is too complex to interpret: maybe that&#

And I hope most of us don't want to live in the hypothetical society where courts and lawmakers have zero sway over the rich. We complain enough about how untouchable they are already; why would we want to increase that? If a court

While I'm sure you have a point that some people are getting shafted by lack of inflation compensation, what does that imply for stablecoins vs. conventional banks and/or central banks? That issue could occur in any system with ex

by emn13 5y ago
I understand the point you're making, but I'd like to add that even if you accept that potentially stablecoins might avoid some problems a (politically tainted) central bank has, the issue isn't merely one of accepting that
316.
by emn13 5y ago
The whole comparison is specious; there were far more factors at play than "printing money". Central banks print money all the time. It's not just in response to the 2008 crisis; the money supply in 2007 wasn't what it

by emn13 5y ago
But that argument (not yours, I know) is really weak: If we have problems with banks behaving in ways that are harmful to others in society, and problems with emergent phenomena that banks don't care to avoid because most of the losses

The fed has expanded money supply to react to shocks before, and there was no hyperinflation. Even if clearly at some point, given enough money-printing, inflation would result, there's no reason to assume it's some binary thin

Fortunately, it's pretty likely that many of those toxins won't be particularly harmful in low doses; but the stress isn't good, that's for sure. A similar (worldwide) problem are all the maritime shipwrecks stemming fro

You're free to use if's instead, if you prefer; that's more similar to v-if's. I agree that ternaries aren't the prettiest of language idioms, but if clearly formatted (e.g. eslint defaults are fine), I think it&#x2

Yeah, it looks admittedly pointless. I guess I just don't care much, it's just not a part of the browser that draws my attention a lot. I did find a compact mode: https://techdows.com/2021/04/how-to-enab

I'm happy you've found a decent browser for you. I'm a little curious about the motivation though - I've heard several people complain, but I don't really understand what's bothering them. I noticed tabs look a

templates are still stringly-typed, aren't they? And that whole extra language just for templates is annoying, and unnecessary. I don't want a v-else-if="level ==== 6", because I'm going to make typos, and I want th

One difference being that vue templates appear to be hard to make type-safe i.e. hard to benefit from type-checking, whereas jsx is syntactic sugar for JS, and supported by typescript. I'd rather have jsx, all else being equal.

I think calling for the professors dismissal in this instance is completely unwarranted. Not only do we have only one side of the story here, we don't even know what those tweets were, or if there's anything else at play here, no

Additionally, this framing - of MAGA vs. BLM - is also unreasonable. Hiring processes are by design discriminatory; people don't just hire at random. There's no reason to assume public statements by a candidate that appear to fall

So first of all - France is known for it's remarkable protest culture. That's not typical. Secondly, the fuel tax in question, while reasonable and necessary, is also a somewhat special case even in France because it represents ta

Don't forget food etc - even as a vegetarian, in Europe, you're likely to hit that 1.6 tons number just with food, or come close to it, at least as much as my google-foo tells me. Of course, these numbers are all quite hard to est

The whole scenario is far fetched. We're imagining some egalitarian world (won't happen), in which with today's technology we need to make due with tomorrows resources, but without time to adapt and find alternatives. More r

It doesn't matter. If prices rise gradually, people will adapt. Remote villages might become ghost towns (hardly the first time in Canada, incidentally), or become more isolated. And the world isn't going to turn into some utopi
