There's liability in having access to some random crap, even if you don't intentionally use it. If something goes wrong, someone accesses or modifies something that they shouldn't have, you having access is going to be at _be

It's Google's fault because there's no "remove me from having access to this" button.

That's pretty easy to deal with: respond with only "not a security issue" if it's not. Or, actually have support, but that's not Google's style.

It probably depends how the regulations are written. Can the odds be _better_ than advertised without the casino getting in trouble? Then they'd quite plausibly have a range they could play with.

Is there a box you can plug an xlr mic into, and have it apply effects like this and output a usable signal? I'd like to move towards a real mic, but setting up filters on each of my work machine, home machine and phone sounds really a

There's an argument to be had that some antivax sentiment has roots in just not liking shots. They creep people out, and they hurt. It's easier to be convinced that something is bad if you already have negative associations with i

God _is_ a bit of an asshole though, as evidenced by :waves vaguely at all of Creation: So that may not be an argument in favor of it being the moral choice.

Seems orders of magnitude too difficult to be worth it. If you can approach that level of energy, pointing a gamma ray burst sounds more fun. Or just throw some rocks at fractions of c.

Maybe the disconnect is that there's an implicit "[What we see as] Black holes might be defects in spacetime" in front of the headline. We can't get close to black holes, maybe ever but certainly not currently, so the di

I think the headline just doesn't do enough work specifying how unlikely this is. The article otherwise seems to match. We are "outside observers", correct? So black holes we see "might" (theoretically, in an unprov

With proper equipment and setup, you can control what on your LAN can talk to the outside world (you can get way more granular than that as well).

Oh phone, I would suggest a change to a different input method entirely. I used Messagease for years, and I've switched to Thumb-Key now, https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key (same concept, just Open Source and

My understanding was that Atom was x86 instruction set (or whatever Intel calls amd64?), but its own arch. I very easily could be wrong about that though.

I do not think we are morally sophisticated enough, as a society/species, to handle that without it going to shit.

Fairly confident, within 2x or so. But it barely matters, it's not like I'd inject the whole cup into my veins and then see what happens. If the caffeine was too high (within reasonable variations), you'd notice and slow down

Caffeine pills it's a bit easy to unconciously take too much and get all jittery, and it's not really spread out enough. Optimal consumption of caffeine seems to be a decent-sized initial intake, then smaller doses over time to ma

Yeah, because if you had the name you'd have no further questions. There's just no way to condense enough important information into the headline, and the chemical name would mean nothing for 99% of people.

That link says that after the FDA authorized the shots, the study participants were offered them. Not that something was skipped _before_ authorization. Not giving these people the shots would have been immoral, it was already clear that th

You should be able to use KDE Connect without the rest of KDE. I don't know how heavy the deps are, but it should really just be disk space wasted mostly.

This said on a site that basically only exists because the moderation is extremely well done, and is definitely not just "approve everything".
