I wonder if they heavily throttle traffic on port 53, so DNS works, but this kind of exploit isn't particularly useful.

34 devices connected to my router at the moment, 8 wired and 26 wifi. About 8 of the wifi devices are phones, tablets, and laptops; the rest are various iot things: locks, plugs, alarm, thermostat, water heater, doorbell, etc.

You can just ask it not to search the web. In the case of GPT5, it believes it's a real case if you do that: https://chatgpt.com/share/68e8c0f9-76a4-800a-9e09-627932c1a7...

The existing controlling shareholders would need to support the issuing of new shares. They would only choose to dilute their own holdings if it were advantageous to do so.

Sure, but whichever shareholders control the company, they ultimately want to profit from that ownership, right? So if the stock price isn't reflecting the true value of the underlying company, they're going to do something about

Aggregate predictions, yes. For example, the long-term, risk-adjusted expected return of all liquid securities should be the same if we believe EMH. Therefore by holding a diversified sample of securities in a market, your expected return s

All models are flawed; some are useful. I would argue the EMH is an imperfect but useful model of market behaviour.

A company could decide to never pay a dividend, yes. But that doesn't mean the stock is worthless; you need to take the thought process further. Who ultimately controls a company? The shareholders. So, imagine a scenario where a compan

One big benefit of a google sheet over a web app is that you're not relying on the creator to keep maintaining it. You can copy the sheet and then you have it forever. (Unless Google shuts down sheets, but even for Google that's u

I'd say you're biasing the analysis by ending at the bottom after the crash though. Certainly if you managed to time your capitulation for the market bottom you would have lost out, but if you're buy-and-hold long term, you&#

It comes as a flat disc. For some applications that might be more convenient packaging than traditional parachutes.

I agree with using a TSM fund rather than an S&P 500 index, but be aware that you're still mostly holding S&P 500 companies. The S&P 500 covers about 80% of the total market cap of US public companies, whereas the Russell 3

And conversely, if you try to preempt the crash, you might end up sitting out most of the run up. Lots of people called the dot.com bubble in the late 90s and got out, only to end up worse off than if they'd just held through the whole

That's wild. How would a population of 1000ish survive for that long without growing or going extinct?

You could just set them up to forward to gmail instead. Even if you don't have a server to do this, you could use eg. Cloudflare email forwarding.

Set your other accounts to forward them to your gmail with ARC headers, which gmail now supports. Used to be forwarding into gmail was almost unusable due to spam false positives, but I've found it to be significantly improved now (alb

That's sort of the problem, right? Large organizations have become dominant precisely because of reasons like this, and there are indeed huge benefits. But if the hypothesis is correct that the crowding out of smaller organizations is

Funny coincidence. I was just pondering last night how an extremely intelligent person would look at the problems in the world. (And whether it would be incredibly frustrating!) For those who aren't familiar, Terence Tao is considered

Those are great points. As well as backing up facts with references, I would add, don't state an opinion without facts and reasoning to back it up. And I agree that without doing these things, some opinions are more likely to draw down

Agreed, though the culture doesn't persist by accident. Without ongoing moderation (which has been excellent), I believe it would eventually be lost.

I don't think most people need a bulky case. You can get aramid cases that barely add any thickness, but still protect the phone from dents and scuffs.
