There are lots of reasons not to have the maximum possible number of children! I'm not saying you should have the maximum possible number of children, or any children at all. It's up to you. What I'm saying is that "worl

The part about "don't think it's fair to have a child" meant that you don't think it's fair for the child . The point about suicide is approximately what I meant, although of course I do not intend to drive an

If the "salt" is kept secret then I agree you can't brute force all the phone numbers so easily. But I don't agree that "salt" is the correct term for that technique.

You know the salt because it's stored alongside the hash. You're only iterating over the space of phone numbers. If it's not stored alongside the hash it's not a salt, it's something else. https://en.wiki

I think this is a premature optimisation. I'd rather have a straightforward TCP-over-WhatsApp proxy than some hacky thing that only works for HTTP, has to peek inside your TLS sessions, etc.

It has failed you in ways you can't see, because you've driven away the most reliable people by showing them upfront that you don't trust them. I assume everyone is telling the truth until they've given me a reason not t

That doesn't make any sense. You'll be paying a higher rate of interest on your loan than you're receiving on your cash. You'd be better off taking the $1m directly out of your cash pile.

I was confused too at first. This is an SVG generated by an LLM - it's not from an image model. How well do you reckon you could draw a pelican on a bicycle by typing out an SVG file blind?

Fixed-rate mortgages are offered in the UK, but they are only fixed at a good rate for a short period of time (maybe 2-5 years) before they go up to an unreasonable rate, which would force you to renegotiate the mortgage to get the new prev
