Might wanna put some shoes on before you deep fry your turkey.

The US has 1/3 the population density as Europe. I'm sure that helps to explain it somewhat.

I really wish SpaceX would use industry-standard PoE with a normal Cat5E/Cat6 cable instead of a proprietary cable. I don't understand why they insist on a proprietary cable, it ca…

People like getting fucked up. It’s not that confusing.

I more or less quit alcohol when cannabis was legalized in Canada. It’s a better recreational drug by pretty much every metric. It only takes a few tens of milligrams of THC to get…

Seems more likely the old mines in the area are causing the contamination with BMAA and that it is being consumed in shellfish. BMAA contamination is often associated with old floo…

Switching from fossil fuels to renewables and nuclear can have massive benefits to population health. It’s not all a negative trade off.

It’s much easier to spend an hour getting a vaccine than it is to live a healthy life.

If there was a safe and effective vaccine against lung cancer and obesity do you think your argument would be as strong?

Agreed. The only clearly justified use cases I’ve seen are illegal or unsanctioned activity. The only things Bitcoin and Monero really excel at is avoiding sanctions, buying drugs …

I never really changed my mind about Bitcoin. I always thought that Bitcoin is an interesting and novel technology, and risky speculative asset. I’ve also always thought that most …

Uhh.... we already do this: https://dnaspaces.cisco.com/

If someone were to gain some kind of advantage that could prevent a retaliatory nuclear strike, then I could see it. Otherwise I highly doubt it. World War 2 offensives were made p…

The problem is often political. I have been at many orgs where the management of the dev team over promises something to the executive, and then when ops finds out about it and rea…

It bypasses all proxies and interception, and hides all of the traffic contained in the tunnel. This means no traffic logging of the tunneled traffic, no IPS/IDS in front of the SS…

“Because I think I might know better I will act in a disrespectful way, and make someone else’s job harder instead of working with them to solve the problem” You’re not the one who…

What you’ve just described is most post secondary institutions, public utilities, government, etc.

“Policy made my job slightly harder so because I know better than the netsec team who clearly has or should have unlimited time and resources to help me I will do what I want anywa…

I can confirm as someone who works in netsec that this exactly how it would have gone at my previous employer. There is a tone of “I know what’s best and will do what I want” in th…

When someone just does whatever they feel like and violates policy, what do you think should happen? Should someone send them a sternly worded email for them to ignore? Or maybe th…

Yeah I don’t think the convenience is what is holding it back. It’s pretty easy to pay for something with BTC. I think it’s more to do with how there is limited coin supply, no dis…

Depends on the bank, account type, and the destination for the funds. My bank requires in-person to send a wire transfer, meaning in person identification at a bank branch with pho…

This is correct, and why the average end consumer will never actually use Bitcoin for anything. It may have some utility as an asset class but the crypto fan boys seem to ignore th…

A vast system of fraud detection and limits on what can be done to accounts, especially on a mobile app. If you try and move large amounts of money via your mobile banking app you …
