$1 for tapping the pipe, $100 for knowing where to tap

Oh I forgot about stereo, ha.

at high signal strength LDAC should default to 990kbps… which is kind of ridiculous since it’s so high it’s higher than some lossless codecs, like uncompressed 16-bit 48kHz. (which is higher than standard CD quality)

the problem is that for every ideas man, you need at least 20 people to actually do the work. And that work is a lot more tedious than being the one who comes up with the ideas

and of course, most people can’t tell the difference between a “good ideas man” and a “bad ideas man”, and there are a lot more of the latter

the best you can ever do is make physical attacks more inconvenient, and it succeeds at that.

Here’s another “critical vulnerability”: the attacker can insert a physical device to intercept all keystrokes, and steal the key whenever the user enters it. A hidden camera can also accomplish this

the point is not LGBT, the point is that it’s used as a wedge issue vs palestine

the best part is when the police training material prominently features quotes from adolf hitler

(actual slide)

Time for a joke about zero Megagrams

There is an implicit threat of government censorship there, even if it is ultimately toothless. And since valve is clearly not the one interested in increasing moderation, your point about the 1st amendment “not applying to private forums” is irrelevant

if it’s the government that is doing the censoring, against the will of both the users and the private company, how does it not apply here then?

It’s “real” in that the police shared the picture: https://x.com/NYPDnews/status/1864706407985221974

though the clothing seems different from an earlier picture, especially with this one having big front pockets in the jacket. so there’s claims that it is not the same suspect.

if you totally ignore the second study, sure

Actual research finds that annual “deaths caused due to lack of insurance” is around 40-50 thousand (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2775760/)

and “if the usa had healthcare as good as france, 101 thousand annual deaths would be prevented” (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-deaths-rankings-idUSN0765165020080108/)

as for war deaths, the ~100 thousand barrier is breached when all wars back to the korean war (1950-1953) are included. Then world war 2 is massively over

so the literal truth of the original statement is that it’s maybe mostly correct if you consider “our wars” to only be wars that the usa played a key role in starting, and only count the last century, but false if not

(eg. the civil war would totally blow the number out of the water, world war 2 would totally blow the number out of the water, and with the unpopular vietnam war it would depend on what exactly your standards of “lack of access to medical care” are)

Considering how many times I’ve seen that exact phrase, I think there is some automated system giving that as a default value if no changelog is manually supplied

if it’s not slavery, then why is it specifically an exception under the constitutional ban on slavery?

There literally already are proven examples, and it didn’t change anything

I thought you just wanted him afraid? Sounds like you too actually want him literally killed without charge or trial

Those are not mutually exclusive. One is much more likely to happen than the other.

And if someone does end up committing a murder because of some twitter post and going to prison for it, hey, that’s one less ticking time bomb walking the streets. Ol’ nick’s life is far less valuable than those of random innocents. And one more martyr is not going to change anything. They are perfectly capable of substituting imaginary slights for real ones.

Trying to beat up someone holding a machete may not be the brightest idea

I think it’s more accurate to say that power attracts corrupt people, and protects them from the consequences of their actions, allowing them to show their true colors without fear
