Never knew about transparent web proxies. Neat. Do they play a part in commercial DDOS protection? I’m thinking of those please wait while we’re evaluating your request messages that you get on some sites. But also about any methods used to prove that you are human.
What’s the difference between run time program data and temporary files? Is /tmp just for system level processes but not for user space?
Listened to the entire interview. At no point does she pledge that. She simply doesn’t rule it out and is willing to consider.
That header is clickbait bullshit .
It’s well known that the judiciary at the time was very lenient towards right wing extremists. His time in jail was rather cozy and gave him time to develop and write down more of his ideological underpinnings. And come up with a more comprehensive plan for taking over.
That’s why I find it very worrisome when people like Donald Trump get what amounts to a slap on the wrist for staging an insurrection. Not just that but they actually put him on the ballot again 😱. And this time the people propping him up in the background came up with an elaborate plan for claiming the election and then completely restructuring the executive authoritarian style (aka Project 2025).
Went to a local rock concert once. Had to go into the middle of the crowd to fetch a friend and alert him of something that had happened. The music was unbearably loud for me. Noticed that virtually everyone was wearing ear plugs.
Found it absurd. Why not lower the volume instead and have people forego the plugs? Less noise pollution in the local area too. After the concert was over I asked some participants about it. Everyone claimed they liked the loudness or that it was necessary somehow. My impression: they liked to keep up with the appearances of being hardcore, it being for tough folks. But they didn’t want the actual hearing damage.
This is true for serial killers in general though. Murders tend to be premeditated. If you are planning a murder you’ll look for ways to maximize your success and minimize the chance of getting caught. In modern times you don’t have to rely on pure strength; there’s a plethora of workarounds from drugs to guns. The actual desire to end a human life (usual enabled by some form of psychopathy) is the limiting factor. A serial killer personality type doesn’t throw the towel just because they are physically weak.
Guess what I’m saying is: there isn’t a large contingent of women out there that would suddenly turn serial killers if they were to physically become stronger.
It’s true but the title doesn’t seem onion-y to me.
While mosquito bites are unpleasant in themselves due to the itching and swelling I don’t think it’s common for cultures to have worked out the causal relationship between mosquitos and diseases like malaria. But I’d be happily educated otherwise.
For gluten free products: the whole production chain needs to use different tools or be sealed off from the rest. You can generally use the same mill, kneader, oven, tray for barley, wheat, rye, etc without meticulous cleaning in between. But if you want it to be gluten free you now need to either do that expensive cleaning or more realistically have an entirely separate set of machinery and ensure it never gets in contact with your main line.
Here in Germany it has been revealed that the church set up a whole network shuffling around offenders (or sending them away to south america) and muddling traces. It’s even been shown that the former pope knew about such cases. It’s systemic.
Basically it’s a combination of supposed moral authority, intransparency, and mutual cover ups. People are willing to look the other way a lot when they perceive of someone as having a higher mission or great social standing. That includes law enforcement. Think of Donald Trump who’s a fraudster-racist-rapist-insurrectionist and yet the MAGA crowd loves him. Maybe celibacy plays into it as well, sexual urges don’t stop just because you don a robe.
Younger people are less and less religious with each generation. So at least from that angle the problem might eventually go away.
Saudi Arabi is hostile to Iran (as is Israel) too.
I often use this over KDE’s inbuilt screenshot tool because this one has a quick way to crop a screenshot
It’s a good overview. As a bonus I would love to see the number of people affected (in absolute numbers and share of global population) in each category for each point in time.
It’s true but for the broader picture one should add that many people don’t bother to vote if their state is predicted to be a landslide victory for either candidate.
It’s appealing but I wish the black font for mountain names had an outline or something to make it more readable.
Law terminology specifically can seem pretty archaic because there’s a high need for terms to be stable over time. In other fields and everyday speech terms can change over time. There’s contracts signed decades or even centuries ago that are still binding today. So it’s practical in a sense if the words within and those used to discuss legal dealings don’t change over time.
Eternity on Android passes with flying colors.
I’m the opposite of this picture. It’s like I have to relearn the game each time and fluid play takes a long time to return.
Funnily enough my muscle memory persists to some degree though. So for instance if a particularly tough enemy is charging me I might push a specific key without actually knowing what it does. Afterwards I have to reason and rediscover what I was trying to accomplish and bind that action to the key I pressed.
I recently learned that the Mormons settled and resettled in several states before finally staying in Utah. It’s quite an interesting story, especially given that most religions are so ancient that it’s very hard to track their origins today.
Johnny Harris has great videos about it, this one for instance.
