At what point does it become more sensible to black hat these zero days? If the company you are helping out isn't willing to give you more than the finger for your help it seems li…

An LLM is a tool. It's your choice how you use it. I think there are at least two ways to use it that are helpful but don't replace your thinking. I sometimes have a problem I don'…

It stays stationary because you're effectively tightening one bolt and loosening the other. Imagine the point of contact between the bolts is a line drawn on a stationary nut inste…

That's not a valid argument, though. Firstly nobody lives forever. Second you don't have to exert all the effort at once, so the totality of effort doesn't matter. At any given tim…

So what? It's easy to find people who believe nothing is wrong. All they have to do is ignore all the measurements of temperature, sea ice, CO2, methane, species extinction, peak o…

So SBF is a con-man who realized that it's easy to scam the EA community. All you need to do is learn their language and "pledge" to give away a lot of money. Then the donations wi…

I don't see that much of a difference between those two definitions. Cory's explanation was more specific, but it still referred to a service taking steps to be more profitable and…

Occidental's first DAC facility has a goal of removing 1 million tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere per year. Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and industry were 37.…

A neighbors cat was being harassed by a bird once. It would dive bomb the cat then fly away quickly. It did this multiple times while I watched. The cat got tired of it after a whi…

I am not a lawyer. That said, I'm not sure this counts as news. The Rogers test comes from the 1989 case Rogers vs Grimaldi where a Ginger Rogers sued the defendants for making the…

As of January this year Russia provided about 1/4 of the diesel imports for Europe. That's down from pre-war levels. https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insight...…

Not smarter. Not even trying to hide it. And Russia is selling oil at a price they set. It's just the EU that's paying more to pretend they aren't doing business with Russia. "Indi…

Hadn't heard of "basic TV mode" but it seems to be a feature of any Google TV device made in the last year or two. They say it will disable all smart tv features and leave only the…

I think of clubs and interest groups as a good way to make friends that you can then hang out with.

To be fair, I turn subtitles on for half of the movies I watch and I'm a native English speaker.

It sounds like you're arguing that we can't decide to change what our priorities are as a society because previous generations already made a decision for us. In the US the decisio…

Does #5 sound like a tautology to anyone else? "In order to know how to solve problems get more experience solving problems so you know how." or maybe "To know the answers to your …

Sri Lanka is an interesting case study. President Rajapaksa suddenly banned using pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. It caused significant reductions in crop yields and ended up…

They've apparently moved to https://curlie.org Their discussion forum is https://www.resource-zone.com/forum/

It may be what's used in dechlorinator products, but vitamin C (ascorbic acid, or Sodium Ascorbate) does a good job of converting chloramines (or just chlorine) to salt, NaCl. I us…

We learned in March of this year that my wife has cancer. Chemo started, there were complications, surgery was performed and the tumor was excised. After the recovery from surgery …

Actually you can. EVGA has a step-up program that allows you to buy just about any EVGA graphics card, register it, and pick the new better card you want when it's available. I bou…

If the advice is to eat lower on the food chain - more simple whole foods - instead of highly processed foods and sugary snacks, it seems like good advice. At least it has been in …

So do you no longer have the same take on it? How would you feel today about an email whitelist with a pay-to-bypass option?
