Not only that but how many break their leases before this pandemic? Also like someone mentioned above over what time period. Over the last week or month or ... what?

Its a bit of both users and employees. Users are often not informed. If I describe many of the bad behaviors of tech companies it is often disregarded as crazy conspiracy theory. People will not believe what power some companies have until its completely proven to them. Some users also are willing to ignore bad behavior if it aligns with their belief systems.

I had thought about switching to an Olympus micro from my Canon to save in size/weight. I am not a professional. Glad I didn't now.

I expect to see more government sites for which https is on but the cert is expired or does not validate.

So Mozilla wanted encrypted DNS Comcast did not. Now they made a deal. Comcast agreed in writing not to monitor DNS. So what did Mozilla give up to make this deal? Mozilla wont encrypt DNS on Comcast connections? Something does not add up.

The thing I always wonder about something like the government having the power to force people to decrypt data is what happens if the person claims they forgot their key. I could very much see this happening to me if I was arrested and my computers taken away only to months later be asked to unlock them.

Also what happens if the person used Rubber Hose cryptography. They could give up a key and the government gets some data but it would be impossible to know if they gave up all the keys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber-hose_cryptanalysis

The difference is that for the government to come into my house and force me to open my safe: 1) I will both know about it. 2) government will need a warrant.

In the case of my digital data that might be stored on google (or some other third party) I may never know that the government asked google to decrypt my data for them. In the past companies have done so without a warrant.

Maybe the contents of this bill does not work this way. I don't know.

Speaking of changed watermelons check out these Japanese square watermelons. I almost want to try doing this in my garden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JNSpMhJLvg

I would argue freedom of information is more important than copyright claims. If you do work for the government it needs to be able to be pretty open what is done. I can see that there might be some exceptions but I would not think copyright is one of them.

Cody's Lab has lots of other content to but he used to post bee keeping videos. I found it interesting just from the standpoint of seeing how its done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdItRBzixf0

After watching this aggressive hive linked in the video above though I think I will leave this hobby to others to partake in.

Your original comment was removed. Here is the video I think you might be referencing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EvOyW5vIdg

Is it really necessary to leak information on Russia? Outside Russia we already know that they have done bad things. Besides was the information he leaked untrue? As an US citizen I am most interested in when is going on inside my own country not only because it affects me but also because I have the ability to push for change.

Its interesting to think that a submarine would require air conditioning with average ocean temp being pretty cool. I guess it was because of the extra heat produced by the engine and other machines?

Thanks for the correction. I roughly knew the quote and when I googled it Kurt Cobain came back all over the place.

What was this couple writing about Ebay that made the execs so angry that they would risk committing crime? I would imagine a company the size of Ebay has many people writing bad things about it. What was different in this case? I have been searching but cant find anything. I found the news letter was called EcommerceBytes.

Thats the thing. "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you." - Joseph Heller. Thanks to graton for the correction below.

Its amazing every time I come across one of these people on youtube that believe they are being gang stalked or e harassed. Even though I am pretty sure they are not being stalked to them it IS real. That must be a terrible existence. If I were to try to convince them otherwise they would assume I am in on it.

I wish we would use less plastic and packaging in general. Its depressing when you buy a product and it has layers and layers of packaging. When I visited a poor part of Mexico in 2000 they still had a system where you purchased a soda in a glass bottle and then returned it for a small refund from the place you purchased it. If a poor city in Mexico does this why cant we do so in the USA? Please do understand that in almost all other ways though this city in Mexico had garbage ever-where.

Also though I should point out that wherever you get your news from you should probably do a bit of deeper reading. In other words use the news to hear about things and if something sounds amazing look into it even when it confirms your opinion. This sounds obvious but many people just listen to headlines and don't dig deeper.

I get most of my news from youtube but have stayed in for months now. If anything I feel like allot of what I learned made me overly cautious. I also watch mostly doctors on youtube: MedCram: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG-iSMVtWbbwDDXgXXypARQ Dr. John Campbell: https://www.youtube.com/user/Campbellteaching

Localized earthquakes are one. Also companies doing fracking actually have a legal exemption to the typical requirement to disclose the chemicals they pump into the ground. I believe they argue its a trade secret. I assume that if it was not really toxic they might disclose them.

There are people who say things like its not the voltage that kills its the current but through the human body under normal conditions it takes a decent bit of voltage to induce enough current to really hurt you. Watch out for things with large capacitors and large voltages. If you want to take something like that a part let it sit for a long time for the capacitors to discharge. I worked at a TV repair shop in high school dismantling tube TVs for scrap components. The first step after opening was to use a large screwdriver to discharge the flyback transformer.

I had these as a kid but in reality at the time I think I was too young to understand the details of what was going on. Many of the components I would accidentally attach a large battery to and let the magic smoke out. I do miss Radio Shack though.

As a kid I played with batteries and wall bricks or wall warts or whatever you call them(transformers). I would not say you need an especially robust one. They come in different sizes based on the amount of voltage they output and the potential current they can supply. Basically if you are playing with a 9 volt battery and want to replace it with a transformer just look for one that says 9v DC output on it.

> Not a surprise. When animal hunting is legal, people breed animals for hunting. Some escaped extinction this way.

I could see this being true when the hunting is at least properly managed but in the past when it was allowed to go overboard animals did go extinct as a result. Especially when people were hunting for economic reasons.

By yank the ripcord do you mean leave the organization? I see this type of behavior at just about every company I have worked. There is no real priority to fix security holes even when they are discovered.

So how does this make it okay to generalize a whole generation as one point of view?

I had similar requirements for writing in school in Texas. I went into a special class to help kids falling behind in reading skills and they focused a huge amount of time on the way I wrote my characters. Probably not that important in helping me read as well as other kids at the time but who knows. They also said I would never be able to attend college and I now have a BS and MS so ...

Its not just boomers. I think we should look at people individually and not just generalize a whole group of people.

This is true. I have known people who were more happy to have a house empty for months on end waiting for a tenants at a higher price rather then taking a tenant now for a lower price (~$200 price difference). They made the decision emotionally based on, "my house is worth so much" instead of looking at what would be in their best interest. Also some of the higher paying tenants I have seen not take good care of property.

I just accepted a lower price with a tenant because it helps them and was way better then them leaving and trying to find a tenant now.
