When does something become an OS feature and when is it an add-on? Consider the use case. If you need to make a backup or restore data from one, by having this as part of the OS it is always available. It’s line having vi installed; it comes with every Linux distro, but a lot of folks use Emacs. It makes sense that this should be a system component.
I’ll still argue that HD-DVD is mostly the better technology. The things which BRD tried to claim were what made it better were not things which would fundamentally have stayed with BRD. The interactive layer was finalized first on HD-DVD and was better.
All that said. I have many HD-DVDs and the drive. Before my drive fails, how would I archive my movies. 🤔
I went and saw Barbie twice. I caught the show when my fiancée was out of town, then took her out to see it when she got back. The movie works on a lot of levels and I thought it was well done. Great writing, great cast.
Yup, that is true. Didn’t know that you were only referring to the Documents case, although the number referenced would have made that clear if I thought about it.
I think that part of the problem with your response, not just biblical vs public service, is that it is a bias based on your own experience.
Like the rest of us, the police are overworked, and it is reasonable to expect that they feel pressure to act and do, not to take time to reason and consider. For an office worker, they might get angry and have a short fuse. For an officer, that might have dire consequences.
What purpose do the police serve? In my youth, they helped get baby kittens down from trees. The officer with the glowing smile would hand the kitten to the little girl who needed help. The highly legible and large typeface said “Cop gave cat.” Factual and warming.
This isn’t the interaction I usually have and it isn’t the interaction I’ve heard others have. Was Timmy and Suzy’s Big Day wrong? Consider the difference between The Andy Griffith Show and Dragnet. It’s a big difference when you know the people you are there to “Protect and Serve,” but reality is considerably different for most.
On the other side of things, you have folks that have been underprivileged from the crib. Social pressures indirectly, if not sometimes directly, perpetuate their plight. It instills anger and a general distrust.
Now mix those groups together.
Grouped by association is going to be the outcome unless people recognize their biases and actively try to work outside that. It means recognizing how your experience might not be shared amongst others. That’s all anyone is asking.
Hacker vs. cracker. Hack isn’t a nefarious term, or at least it shouldn’t be. Hacking is just using something in an unintended way. The problem is with how DMCA made that am illegal thing to do if there was a digital lock. While intended to mean you can’t bypass CSS to rip movies from DVDs, it’s been used to block the right to repair and other things completely anti-consumer. But you probably know this.
The Crumb compiler is written in C. Now they need to take the next step and bootstrap to have a Crumb compiler written in Crumb. It can be done…
If they aren’t getting paid, might that instigate some revolt as well?
It’s not inflation and it isn’t taxation. It would be closer to deflation. However, what I’m suggesting would be a free market program. Businesses would join it and there could be incentives for the customers to do business in this affiliated network. The point is to make it so that social and societal value is more important than bank statements.
In case of the US I’d say something must be done, either build more, or adjust economy in order to the middle class to be able to purchase in cities again.
Building more doesn’t solve the problem. There is vacant real estate already. If you don’t have a tenant for a property, you’re operating at a loss. A loss is a tax write off. With some creative accounting, it might be better to keep a place empty and increase the rate no one will pay you.
My solution is to devalue money.
A network of businesses and merchants that based on income, estate assets, and their contribution to the wield as recognized by the network, add a fee or a discount.
If you are living up to your potential doing good things, you can afford to spend less. If you have no income, but you are doing good to your abilities, potentially all basic needs are covered.
If you are hording value and causing harm, then you pay additional fees.
Combined, the fees cover the discounts. The economic gap grows smaller.
Even if it were inspired, it is significantly different the way it’s written. I’ve hit these same challenges before, so I’m more inclined to think it is independent discovery.
If you’re ingesting anything, I hope that would be the outcome.
Olives are toxic until they’ve been brined. Those sort of discoveries always make me wonder… who figured out that immersing them in salt water for a month would make them edible without making you sick?
Someone on Reddit once thought I was a bot because I use proper grammar. 12 years of comment history would have demonstrated otherwise, but it wasn’t a battle worth fighting.
I’m somewhat okay with someone having posted a screenshot, but 100% agree that we don’t need to send traffic to Reddit.
That’s one way it is weaker, but moreso because it reduces the entropy. If a user can provide a password which uses 26 letters, upper and lowercase, 10 numbers, and an unrestricted set of symbols, but for the sake of argument we’ll say 10, then there are a lot of possible combinations. If you are limited to only 12 possible at max, it is 46^12. Now you impose an artificial requirement that it is one of each, then it actually weakens that further by making the hacker know that there is one of each in there so it is 2626101046^8. Or roughly 910^19 vs. 1.3610^18. I personally try to use passwords which are between 16-20 characters long, or roughly 2*10^33. By restricting the total number of characters and forcing specific combinations, then the password is less cryptographically sound.
Using this calculator, https://bitwarden.com/password-strength/, it is a difference of 3 hours vs. centuries using the bank’s mandate vs. only lowercase and 20 characters.
Edit: Something seemed off about the math. Should have multiplied instead of added, but still less sound secure because there are imposed requirements. The biggest issue is that there is an upper limit of 12 characters.
As a general rule of precaution, don’t follow links in the email. Instead go to the website directly, maybe from a private or incognito instance, and reset it directly. If the email is valid, you’re doing the same thing and if it wasn’t you aren’t drawing attention to anyone else.
Calckey surprised me. There are many different sites out there right now which has me more favorable about the future than I’ve been recently.
Probably for the same reason Spanish used to consider ch, ll, and rr as a single character.
