My point is that I'm relying on an exchange to perform most of the functions you say. How do I know those exchanges are any safer than Binance?

In America you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Therefore, under our legal system, Binance.US is presumed to not have stolen anyone's money until the SEC passes the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Capitalist supply-chain attack
The TK6 cells were exposed to 20 concentrations of sucralose-6-acetate (maximum 4.5489 mM or 2000 μg/ml) or 20 concentrations of sucralose (maximum 10 mM or 3980 μg/ml)

If you look at the genotoxic Multiflow results (tables 3-4), the genotoxic signals only showed up at the highest concentrations (>300 ug/mL).

Peak concentrations of sucralose in blood after consumption is ~300 ng/mL, so about 1000x fold less.

Also note the paper showed non-mutagenicity in the bacterial reserve mutation test (Ames Test).

So the results are interesting, but I'm not sure how applicable they are to actual exposure in humans.
We shouldn't forget that hobbyist programmers can write and test apps without paying the $99 fee. The tools are freely downloadable.

"You can learn how to develop apps for Apple platforms for free without enrolling. With just an Apple ID, you can access Xcode, software downloads, documentation, sample code, forums, and Feedback Assistant, as well as test your apps on devices. If you don’t already have an Apple ID, you can create one now. To distribute apps, join the Apple Developer Program."

So the poor hobbyist argument is really a moot point if the point is writing apps for yourself and to learn.

> My mortgage is a couple hundred less than a crappy one bedroom apartment now.

the total cost of ownership is not just the mortgage interest payments - it must include the cost of the equity you invested, which is both the initial deposit as well as any principle payments made so far.

If you added all this up, it would be quite likely similar to the cost in rent of a similar house/apartment.

IME, the gas stations that sell ethanol-free gasoline seem to exist around farms or places where people use off-road gas powered equipment, though I don't have many data points. It stores for longer than ethanol blends (which absorb water over time), so it's better for filling up gas cans used to fill equipment, or infrequently used vehicles.
> Crypto is also used to evade taxes.

You know what, this narrative is funny, because 99.999% of the time in which "crypto" is used to evade taxes, it's the kind of taxes that would need to be paid because of capital gains on the crypto assets because their value increased. But most of the time, they are unrealized gains, which means that tax evasion didn't actually happen. But anyway, let's now think of the cases where the person sold the crypto back to fiat: how easy is to evade taxes at that moment? Not very, because most exchanges report trades to authorities.

And anyway, the fact that their crypto balance increased is due ultimately to politicians doing QE! So they tax us in a hidden-way via money-printing, and after the scarce assets increase in value because of this, they want to tax us again.

Do you have any reason to believe this?

There are dozens of crypto exchanges, and most of the major ones have not become insolvent. FTX and MtGox are the only major ones to become insolvent and lose user funds. The top ones like Kraken and Coinbase and Binance have been operating without issue for many years.

This is a fair question. Everyone is piling on here, sort of without regard to whether anything bad has actually happened. Of course, even if they don't change anything, the extension is now funneling whatever data it collected to Avast, a company that many hold in low regard (myself included). But it would be appropriate to have a discussion about what they're doing now that's bad, aside from not telling anyone about the acquisition.
Well, we've got a good start with cameras installed in the vast majority of commercial toilets and urinals. It's not a huge leap to do more.

That's a reasonable counterexample. I'd say that probably happened because the primary use case for BitTorrent is piracy (I know there are other use cases, but that's the main one), so there was never a space for a legit business to form. Crypto had speculation, which was less obviously illegal than downloading pirated TV shows and provided a great revenue stream to boot.

The fact that these mandates are required is a piece of evidence that points to the idea that WFH is popular.

Right, and where's the value of it 4 years after each value-tank event?
It's an interesting point, but I think you've stretched it a little thin. Taking one of your examples, I don't think anyone would ever say "it's reasonable to treat the web as interchangeable with Facebook". Sure, for some people Facebook is all they use the web for - but that's definitely not true for everyone. And the web doesn't depend on Facebook existing either. When Facebook dies, the web will be just fine.

Rest in peace, Astrud, your simple songs were a gateway into samba and Portuguese to me. I remember hearing them on radio in the late 90s-early 00s, in some un-typical style, unheard to me, and I guess I'd not have been able to google any of these songs out. But then a program on jazz featured bossa nova and mentioned her name among others. I then learned Portuguese and left bossa nova and Gilberto for more elaborate styles and singers, but these still pull a nostalgic string.

We don't. But by the same token, these are just allegations so far.

It is interesting however, the SEC purportedly has tons of evidence of wrongdoing at these exchanges but completely missed FTX which was a massive fraud. Color me skeptical, it's almost like they are saving face for missing FTX. FTX was even regulated to some extent -- I remember you were able to buy tokenized versions of US stocks on there.

I have to say that the long-s looks quite horrible in Verdana, and probably most other sans-serif font. That makes sense, since most Sans Serif typefaces significantly postdate the abandonment of the long-s.

If you want to see how it should look in context, here's a typical 17th century example:
https://www.raptisrarebooks.com/images/86066/paradise-lost-a...

The prints from the 18th century are even nicer with better quality and consistency in general. The Caslon typefaces are pretty exemplary here:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/A_Specim...

Roman typefaces with a long-s are a very 17th-18th century thing. A blackletter (gothic) typeface gets you closer, but all of that is still not very much medieval.

Why doesn't Apple say what you said? "The software itself might or might not be fine, the developer just needs to pay us money"? Because then their extortion racket would be laid bare to consumers.

Open source and not-for-profit software has been put at a disadvantage here, which I think is very bad for several reasons.
Because it has long been known that networked apps are a huge security vulnerability. Your system security is only as good as the security of the least secure networked app running on it. So as OS and network security improves, attacks via networked apps are becoming common. Securing ALL the networked apps would be a huge cost to industry, so they are furiously trying to ignore the problem and have been for decades.

Crypto advocates misinterpret this as a technological failing or gap. It's actually an issue that could be solved purely in existing technology, but no one wants to because lock-in is desirable to everyone but the consumer. The market will never decide on its own to offer this solution.
We should re-consider this again with the following framework: right and wrong are not objective truths. They are also moral judgements. However right something may seem, it is only truth as far as it's accepted truth.

I don't believe that is accurate, but I am open to changing my mind with more details.

In most states, an involuntary psychiatric commitment cannot extend beyond 72 hours without a formal hearing. This 3-day period allows patients to receive basic medical treatment, recover from psychotic episodes, and hopefully understand the need for further help.

The patient has the option of remaining voluntarily under care or committing to receiving continued outpatient treatment. Nevertheless, after the first 72 hours have passed, the patient can decline to comply with any further medical treatment.
Air to air heat exchangers will help a lot with energy loss.

Deepmind did the exact same thing with AlphaTensor. While they do some geniunely incredible things, there's always a massive caveat that the media ignores. Still, I think it's great that they figured out a way to search a massive space where most of the solutions are wrong, and with only 16 TPUs running for 2 days max. Hopefully this can be repurposed into a more useful program, like one that finds proofs for theorems.

I used Avast! anti-virus in Windows for a while, and for a short period on my Android device as well. I found it to be pretty usable and friendly, but most functions including anti-malware seemed superfluous or dubious. But it was nice and comforting to scan and find nothing. I had a subscription to the premium service because it had perks, like more devices and features and stuff.

I gradually found that the remote features in the vein of "Find my Device" were trash and never worked. I could never contact my Android tablet with the website, or make any meaningful GPS search for it. I didn't once try factory-wiping it, but I basically assumed that it would fail in the very moment I needed it most. Fortunately, I never did require these features, and they stayed resolutely broken.

Avast! changed something about the service and I decided it was totally not worth having anymore, so I canceled and uninstalled, then they charged me again (Google Play Store). I was able to go after them and procure a refund, but I was not happy about the casual consumer abuse after a malfunctioning product.

Avast! is HQ'd in the Czech Republic, and I have mixed feelings about my cybersecurity entrusted to such a faraway foreign land that's close to the whole Eastern Bloc, so good riddance, and I guess I'll use Malwarebytes next time.
