For me if Christmas eve is a Monday we usually get the whole Monday off, if it’s later in the week we only get a half day. We get from Christmas eve 12 noon to January 1 off normally

ISP around me had policies like “we can provide Usenet except for the binaries trees”

Legal eagle has a video spelling out which laws are broken. Note that there are specific laws against paying people to vote

Use a throwaway email, drop it as soon as the promotion is over

Yeah public transport is ideal for most transport cases and should be funded by cities to the level to allow it to provide that

But still some cases call for individual transport and my preference on that is taxis over Uber and the like as taxis have a duty to pick up anyone who can pay which the newer companies don’t

I hope that self driving taxis include accessible ones, I expect there will still need to be a class of staffed cars to help people who need assistance - eg those who can’t lift their bag into our out of the vehicle, those who need assistance to put on a seat belt

Generally yes, buy when it is low. Have a look at some graphs of recent performance to see if this is lower than typical weekly low points

Tesla does have room to expand; the biggest risk is that Musk does something stupid that damages Tesla, he has not done so yet - he seems competent at running (or has given important parts of the job to competent people) Tesla and SpaceX

Safer investment is through exchange traded funds, especially those which track major indexes (also known as index funds). You buy these the same way you buy other stocks - you’re buying shares in the fund

They should outcompete Uber and the others. They should provide very low cost point to point transport

I think he made it reasonably clear that $30k was for the small self driving taxi, and the mini-bus would also become available

There are only so many historical synonyms for black people, racist language should be searchable with few false negatives

It’s pretty cheap

European law says you need to identify paid content, it’s up to the channel to decide how, it’s usually “AD” written in a moderately contrasty color in the top right of the screen

I think in 2001 I was making a Linux from scratch system having not gotten enough from red hat and Debian with home configured and compiled kernels

Fun times and no, nothing like the commercial home operating systems back then

We’re too fat and happy to be doing anti corporation revolutions

A hundred more on a thousand dollar device sounds exactly like the 10% duty we pay on things we import

If the password hashes aren’t salted they can be cracked with a rainbow table - every password up to (whatever length the rainbow tables go up to now - 10 chars?) is easily cracked in seconds

I expect Internet archive salts their password hashes.

It doesn’t matter if the salting method is known, all salting methods are known and it’s easy to see what salt a password is hashed with as you need to know so you can hash a received password the same way for validation

The real advice is to use a password manager to generate random passwords and store them for you, so no two passwords are the same, and the only password you need to remember is the one to unlock the password manager

I use keePass as it’s open source and available on all operating systems. Also you can move the camel case in your head to make it keepAss.

I used to really like an apple turnover. Warm, with cream

Life would be like the northern extremes, just with much more land and less sea ice

Wind is always blowing

This is absolutely the best world to set a post apocalyptic fiction on. Apocalypse aversion fiction is getting less credible
