> Only some people have the skills and tools to open them - so they are useful at keeping most people out,

No, not really. A large part of the security of locks comes from most people not knowing that they have the tools and skills to open them. It's like if everyone taped their door shut, and we depended on most people not knowing that tape is easily removed.

My kid accidentally locked us out of the house the other day by twisting the knob lock on our garage door. Turns out we never got a key for that lock when we bought the house - oops! And we didn't have keys for the back door, for complicated reasons. No worries, I took my wife's key ring and used the key to her parents' house to open our back door. In my experience, most keys work in most locks, if you just apply a light turning force and then rake the key in and out a bunch of times, ending with the key sticking all the way out except for a millimeter or two.
As someone who is well versed in that, its at the end of its practical life.

Both PIC and Lead Cable pinhole overtime, the life of areal (either PIC or Leaded) cable is 30-50 years, the life of buried cable is 50-90 - all of this cable exceeds that point, and must be replaced.

The phone switches that are connected to the cable are all near or over 40 years old, and closer to 45-50 years old in design, the spares pool is surprisingly healthy (because so many switches have been decommed) but the software that runs of these switches is also near end of life - and in the sustaining engineering phase of its lifecycle.

There may be a life for some copper cable, but it will be literally the last mile. Which is a lot smaller in scope than what we have now.

It's only by sheer coincidence that I learned I had it. In spite of testing twice (negative) after I developed a very slight cough following an event--which I wrote off to typical conference crud at that point--a couple weeks later I had to get tested before attending another event. (I had no symptoms of anything at that point.) And I tested weakly positive.

If I hadn't been attending the other (actually third) event, I'd never have known.

I believe that people who have been consistently super-cautious and generally avoided indoor crowds may have avoided catching it. But most people who travel, shop in stores, go to indoor events, etc. have probably had it even if they can't prove it.

This is already the case with LLaMA.
This is mostly due to the Democrat and Republican Party focusing on wedge issues to get reelected instead of compromising on the real national issues (common defense and interstate commerce mostly) and leaving these wedge issues to the state level instead.
That was because the base model of those vehicles didn't have an immobilizer like every other car on the market as a cost cutting measure. They also have ignition switches that are relatively trivial to bypass.

It's possible that some other manufacturer may try it again in the future, but the hit to Hyundai/Kia's reputation has been substantial.
The amount is comical but there is still some development required to turn DIY hack into actual product.
I'm sure there are better, more recent translations, but I've read Plato: Complete Works (John Cooper) and a reasonable bit of Jowett's translations, and in my (layman's) opinion, if newer translations aren't available, Jowett's will do just fine.

> But Campbell said when used via a spray, it would not be absorbed by the body

This is a claim that appears to be presented entirely without evidence, and - as written - is nonsensical. Nasal insufflation is an extremely common method for administering drugs, and it's readily absorbed directly into the bloodstream.

If there's a reason he believes heparin is not absorbed through this route, that's a notable and surprising claim.
There's a third vertex to the triangle here: C++ and Rust allow both at the same time by dropping separate compilation. More thoroughly so in Rust than in C++, but header-focused libraries move C++ further toward whole-program compilation compared to C (maybe you could call it “large-overlapping-chunks-of-program compilation”).
Well, it's a bit rude how much of our time they waste with previews and ads. If coming on time meant just seeing the movie, I would agree with you.

I have never gotten it or at least not to my knowledge. I would sure hope that there is a genetic or even T-Cell immunity that could snuff the virus out before it takes a foothold since it could lead to better vaccines/treatments. IMO I think we need to explore vaccines that can develop T-Cell immunity over B-Cells. Antibodies fade and may no longer work as well if the virus mutates, but T-Cells do not have this problem and can actually kill the virus as opposed to creating obstacles for the spread.
Elemental lead is fairly reactive - it forms a number of compounds, some of which are soluble in water. Dissolved compounds may precipitate but they don't always "fall out" simply because the elements in them are heavier.

> you expect to hear about water tables that have problematically-high natural levels of this or that heavy metal?

That does happen. Cadmium is probably the most common culprit.

> In groundwater in Pakistan, mean Cd concentrations of 10 μg/L originated from Jurassic sulfide-bearing sedimentary rocks (Naseem et al., 2014). In Germany, background Cd concentrations in groundwater range from 0.11 μg/L in loess aquifers below arable land to 2.7 μg/L in sandy aquifers below forested lands [1]

The limit in the USA and EU is 5 ug/L. It's quite possible to drill a well with natural cadmium levels above the generally accepted safe level. Lead, arsenic, chromium, barium, and copper are other common culprits. In particular, chronic arsenic poisoning from naturally-occurring arsenic in ground water and aquifers affects many millions of people around the world.

Big picture, I don't know. But I stopped using FF entirely a year or so ago because it reached a point where I could no longer put up with it without irritating me. I find its performance to be awful, it's much less usable, and it's harder to correct the various UI choices that I'm allergic to. These are problems that I didn't have, or that weren't as severe, before the revamp.

It's clear to me that FF is set on their development direction, and it's one I dislike, so it was time to give up.

This was actually a hard decision on my part. I've been using FF since the very beginning, and was a heavy advocate for it. Leaving it feels like leaving an old friend who has changed into someone I'm not compatible with.

>Yes, they probably want subsidies to remove the cable

There's no way it's getting removed in the next 50 years without a subsidy so maybe this is...OK?
I'd add "expandable storage" (and "can be fixed") because even if it's an Apple-esque SoC (which we're clearly going to be seeing more of in the future by other brands), there is no reason to not offer one or ideally two m.2 slots that you can just stick more, "slower", storage in.
Our local police department had a guy get his squad car stolen TWICE during traffic stops, and they installed an ignition interlock switch on their entire flee to prevent it happening again. Also they relegated the guy to motorcycle duty after that.

Another story is once my friend called me for help because his car would't start. I looked it over; tested his battery etc, but it wouldn't turn over. I asked him if he had an interlock of any sort and he said no. I didnt do any more investigating since the car was still new, so I showed him how to push start it and drove it over to the dealer. Come Monday morning the dealer called him to ask where he had put the interlock loop that he had pulled out from under the dash. "Oh that thing? Yeah I thought that was weird." SMH

Of the half-dozen worldwide mirrors, none are still up. A shame.

One was hosted at TAFE Tasmania, which is a tertiary educational institute for adults (not sure how to express it in international terms: a polytechnic, perhaps. Practical skills-focused learning that people might do instead of university.) My father was a teacher there around that time; I'll ask him if he has any memory of mirroring this kind of content.

I like to separate out projects from tasks. For me, project is something that requires multiple tasks to complete. I have Trello boards for tracking projects in various areas of life. I will only put tasks in todo list for projects that I'm doing. I will keep checklist of tasks that need to be done for each projects if want to work out in advance.

This system is great for tracking house projects since there is always a large number of them. It is also good for planning things for the future, I have lists of plants to get in the fall.

The problem I have with this system is that I have enough regular tasks that don't pick up many projects. I also don't run the process for syncing tasks frequently enough. I wish they were all in one system.
I've come pretty close to keying "FIX YOUR ALARM" into people's doors for this. In the end left them notes about it, which did result in it getting fixed, so I haven't had to actually do it. Someday, though.

I still think car alarms are a net negative to society. Thousands of hours of disrupted sleep and it prevents approximately no thefts.

I'm not sure you have brought that reason. A sample size of 3 where only one did better than "fairly well" would not be my reason to advocate for "Agile" to be the "industry standard."

Across my sample size of about 7, half were maybe better than terrible, but only two were good enough where I would say it helped more than it hurt.

The tech industry I think would do well to more rigorously study "Agile" and do some A/B testing. Unfortunately this problem space feels like trying to A/B test forms of government. The downsides are generally known after the fact, are context specific, and there are few good ways to run a control

The problem with this defense is that it is invisible... the thief will only know about it after they've caused external damage trying to get access to the system.

I just use a steering wheel lock, one of those bright yellow chunks of steel that bolts onto the steering wheel: https://www.milenco.com/products/automotive-security/automot...

This is visible to the theif and just raised the theft effort from "jump these cables just behind the headlight" to "jump these cables behind the headlight and then use a loud angle grinder in a very enclosed space". I'm in a residential area, this is a strong deterrent and avoids the initial damage being done to the car.

PS: Some sports cars kill their CAN when the car is turned off... but we do insist on keyless entry and this is what we get for it.
I lived in Chicago at that time, you heard those car alarms constantly and they were just ignored. I still remember the sequence of beeps, whoops, and buzzers of the popular alarms.

For the device in TFA, I don't see what prevents a thief from just bypassing the thing with a jumper from the battery + terminal.

>They have been profitable for decades.

How can you know if they were profitable or not before you know the final costs?

>> Why doesn't that count as being part of the decommissioning costs?
>Decomissioning a plant has two parts: dismantling, which is a one-time cost, and long-term storage,

Certainly, but the yankee plant is currently housing the fuel in a short-term storage container on-site. So the dismantling part is not completed yet, and the costs are ongoing. It's not yet in the "long-term-storage" phase of operations, which btw also cost money.

>Maybe future politicians will force people to recycle their solar panels at outrageous cost?

The difference with nuclear compared to other sources is that the costs of nuclear __have__ to be handled. If an operator of a solar panel plant goes bankrupt, the state doesn't have to pay a cent since the plant simply stops costing money when it is shut down. That makes it much easier to estimate the costs.

If an operator of a nuclear plant goes bankrupt however, the state simply has to cover all the costs to ensure proper handling of the fuel and waste.

We have to date not managed to do so reliably anywhere in the world, so how can we claim to know the costs?
"But also, bricks through windows are equally not difficult and not expensive, though they do leave a bit more evidence"

But that would be loud. You don't want attention when breaking in. (Unless you are a fucked up junkie not caring about anything anymore)

But yes, my parents for example are paranoid about always locking the front door 2 times(and get angry if I don't do it when I visit), but have a glass door in the back. There are also glass cutters.

"Raking house locks is a) not difficult and b) not expensive. You don't need to be a professional to do that"

But you do have to make some investment. They are illegal to purchase (in most places), I would not know, where to start looking. And then you have to learn to use them. And I know someone who did play with those a bit - yet he still could not enter my door at all. So it is a barrier.
You could say the same thing for anything that targets JVM or CLR, and they're far more mature than any JS runtime.
What about a classical mechanical key? I am referring to a laser cut key, the type that can't be easily lock picked, other than in Hollywood movies.

The problem is relay theft, where thief's relay the signal of your fob key inside the house to the car via a simple antenna and amplifier system. Cryptographically signing won't help.

However, this can be fixed by adding a motion sensor that makes key fobs go into a sleep mode when they have been inactive for a minute. Upmarket car manufacturers like Mercedes have started to add this. The only reason this is not yet widespread as increased car theft is good for car manufacturers.

Keyless cars top the list for most stolen cars across the UK, with around 93% of all stolen vehicles in 2020 being taken without vehicle keys. Addressing this stupidity would be the first step. It is like projecting your bank account details and security details on the facade of your building, and then being surprised your bank account is drained.

we use the number of closed tasks/user stories but also came across people gaming those too. Lower the scope and cut corners (shitty design, superficial meaningless unit tests, ...). The point I understood, is stay away from people gaming things and have a management tech savy too.. I wroked in a company where the CTO is tech illeterate and everyone is gaming everything, I worked somewhere else where the CTO is the smartest and most tech savy person I have ever met and gaming anything there becomes obvious and people are shown the door out of nowhere (yet for a good reason).
Not that I agree with how affirmative action is implemented but context is everything. I can also say killing is wrong so we shouldn't have wars or capitol punishment.

I think affirmative action is ok only when the time and place a person attended school or looked for jobs has a provable history and policy that negatively affected people of their ethnicity. For example, if a white person grew up in an area where white kids are discriminated against historically and didn't get the same opportunities as others then that person should get an advantage later on to compensate for that.

But blindly using race as a factor to give someome an advantage is something I disagree with.

It is the lazy application of AA that is a problem, not the idea itself.
