As the article points out, there are laws that say people who pay via SNAP debit cards "cannot be charged more than others". If cash payments are rounded down, but debit card payme…

So everyday people don't want to fight climate change? I know some do.

> Honestly, I wish PGP was widely accepted. I wish the opposite. I wish PGP would go away. Web of trust model of keys simply doesn't work. One key forever doesn't work. SSH keys wo…

I love this concept!

Because that would be illegal market manipulation. Any institute, including GameStop themselves, would be committing a crime if they knowingly triggered a short squeeze. The SEC ru…

It doesn't even have to be average human. Let's say AI only gets to 10% (or 20% or 30% or whatever, it doesn't really matter), that's a huge number of jobs being lost. Imagine havi…

My 10 year old self couldn't imagine having these massive artificial brains scattered throughout the world connected by high speed fiber network being a real thing.

just put "steam" in the url?

On iOS, opening up saved passwords just uses firefox's password manager. On the desktop, I just open up firefox's password page. It's always running anyway. It works just like anot…

> I wish there were a good solution The answer is right there in the article: Use the browser's password manager. I find Firefox's password manager + Sync a good solution, and I do…

Self hosting sucks for an average user, and terrible for a mobile user. It is possible to have hosted password solution that is secure, so why not use it? This is basically the sam…

My grief (and grieving) is not with this. If you had an advanced degree in math or physics, hedge funds in NYC was always an option to maximize your talent in exchange for money. B…

500 years is not children of your grand children. If people still have children at 30, your "children of your grandchildren" would be born only 90 years after you, and even if they…

I have a question. Is it not possible to create a good cryptographic hashing algorithm that results in 128bit or 160bit hash? It seems all the modern, secure ones are 256 bits or l…

googling for "ivermectin hospitalizations" shows actual hospitalizations from ivermectin. Maybe they are not "significant" enough for you. Anyways, I've seen enough "iver" posts on…

Actually, it does. The only reason one would be taking iver prophylactically, is because one wasn't vaccinated. And the only reason to take iver after covid symptoms develop is bec…

If iver is a good gamble, then wouldn't the vaccine be a better gamble? After all, unlike iver, there is very good hospitalization data about vaccinated vs unvaccinated now.
