Guns that fire rubber-tipped bullets can also fire lethal munitions. Of course they'd advertise the "non-lethal" version, but the implications are clear. Furthermore there has already been at least one Mossad operation where

On Linux, is there a way to convert an assembly language file from one syntax to the other? I know that there are ways to ask GCC to emit one syntax or the other, as well as ways to assemble code in either syntax. However I don't know

From what they said it sounds like the issue was executing the same withdrawal request more than once, unrelated to the bitcoin confirmation window. The fraudulent withdrawals had to happen on the same second, not merely on the same hour.

That's kind of what I was saying. The far right pulled all the oxygen out of the room with their clown show. Any changes to the system will have to wait a couple of years until everyone has forgotten about it.

Automated platforms such as twitter certainly play a role in the social media landscape. But in Brazil they are not dominant. Whatsapp rules supreme and is the primary source for news for over 75% of Brazilians. Viral content here starts on

For sure, it would be foolish to assume that the problems could be solved by changing the software, or passing a new law. Policing private groups is impossible. We're living in a new world of social media and we still need to figure ou

My feed is already fine; no one is posting hateful politics on the group chats that I am in. The problem is that even if the hateful content doesn't reach me, it's still out there reaching other people. In the US, they ended up wi

I disagree, we can't frame this discussion on only the content. My whatsapp "feed" is doing just fine. The problem are all the other whatsapp groups that I'm not in, which are filled with hateful politics. It hurts when

In the US, where Twitter & Facebook are dominant, the current consensus in the public mind is that political polarization and radicalization are driven by the social media algorithms. However, I have always felt that this explanation w

I imagine they'd also have to find a solution for replies and retweets. Those also can also show up on your feed, even if the original post is not from someone you follow.

The point here is that dd is the weird one out that has a different command line syntax than everything else. Not about whether it's installed by default. (Let's not get distracted by the pv bit; dd's status=progress isn&#x27

I rather like Firefox at the moment. Is there a good way to also block cookie banners on Firefox? How does it compare to what Brave is doing?
