Google search say that the “true” cash purchases represent 20-30% of all purchases. Add to that the people that eventually own after a mortgage ends and it still may not be the most common, but it is not the small minority either.

I don’t have any numbers to counter whether it is typical of “most”, but when trying to buy, I was outbid several times by people who paid “in cash”, and that was for million+ dollar homes. So it might be they do “rent” the capital, but pos

It could be sent in the clear, although since the point was to apply it to every encrypted message, that would likely already have been redundant with having originally been encrypted. Just consider it part of the decryption algorithm itsel

In particular, the length of a message is not encrypted when encrypting the text. So if the encrypted message is shorter, you know exactly how much to remove to get back the original, and then just need to guess what to delete. If the messa

Seems like an interesting conundrum. If you encrypt all transmissions, you end up having a lot of boring repetition, like weather and sign offs to just fill space. But if you don't encrypt the boring stuff, then the transmission itself

From Claude -r you can resume any conversation at any previous point, so there isn’t a way to lose context that way. As opposed to compact, which I find makes it act brain dead afterwards for a while

I don’t think recipes are much at actual fault here. It seems the fault of search engines preferring returning recipes with longer stories over just-the-recipe blogs or sites like AllRecipes. We humans just have to suffer as a result of the

That seems an overly fine line to draw, when a check is basically just a plain piece of paper with your ACH number printed on it, and anyone with your ACH number can go get checks printed. A credit card is also bidirectional, so the questio

I have an iPhone mini, and my understanding is that I lose quite a bit of battery life also by not having the full sized version. The market definitely prefers long runtimes, free from frequent charging, while I need to carry a charge pack

I think the goal was force venders to copy Sega’s code for doing the API call and that triggered the screen to display a trademark in order to unlock the console for use. So they were hoping to trigger several different sorts of legal issue

TSAN observes the lack of an explicit order and warns about that, so it is better in some sense than just running normally in a loop and hoping to see the occurrence of a specific mis-ordering. But that part of it is a data race detector, s

You also do have a higher chance when walking of getting fatally hit by a car (because right turn on red is legal in most of the US). So it probably isn’t quite that simple. I think that was one of the original Freakonomics book studies?

Small nit: this is for objects approaching from infinity in a two body system. Otherwise the object can be in orbit and already be “captured” there. For example, the moon also approaches earth slightly over the month while speeding up, then

You have to enter them on every boot before the OS will be able to decrypt the drive. On windows, the key is loaded into memory automatically almost all of the time, and only if it thinks something goes wrong does it suddenly stop working.
