I think that makes sense too. Sure a drunk cyclist is less of a problem than a drunk motor vehicle operator.
But as the third party you still don’t want 100 kg (200 pounds) of dude and aluminium frame running into you at 20 km/h (12.4 mph), if you are a pedestrian, a second cyclist, or a biker.

- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 1 week ago:
The argument is utterly stupid.
Ignoring that the it’s building on a fantasy reality for the moment. Even if you had free healthcare, and if only the financial costs of survival motivated people to get jobs, then the other costs of living, like for food and shelter, would still provide that motivation.

Those are both way more useful than exploiting a lazy coder’s fuckup
I never said social engineering, physical breaching, exerting force on people, and other ways of compromising systems weren’t useful. They just aren’t hacking to me, otherwise the term is too broad to be very useful.
You’re free to come up with your own definition, I was asked to define it and that’s my best shot for now.

You know my first instinct wast to reply with: “No.”
Maybe I should have stuck with that. I had a feeling this would lead nowhere.
- Comment on Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers 2 weeks ago:
I’d start with the following, and refine if necessary:
"Gaining unauthorized access to a protected computer resource by technical means."
- Port scanning --> Not hacking because there isn’t any access to resources gained*
- Using default passwords that weren’t changed --> Not hacking because the resource wasn’t protected*
- Sending spam --> Not hacking because there isn’t any access to resources gained
- Beating the admin with a wrench until he tells you the key --> Not hacking because it’s not by technical means.
- Accessing teacher SSN’s published on the state website in the HTML --> Not hacking because the resource wasn’t protected, and on the contrary was actively published**
- Distributed denial of service attack --> Not hacking because there isn’t any access to resources gained
* Those first two actually happened in 2001 here in Switzerland when the WEF visitors list was on a database server with default password, they had to let a guy (David S.) go free
** The governor and his idiot troupe eventually stopped their grandstanding and didn’t file charges against Josh Renaud of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter, luckily - Comment on Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t heard of a firewall failing open when overwhelmed yet. Usually quite the opposite, a flood disables access to more than just the targeted device, when the state table overflows.
But maybe there is a different mechanism I’m not aware of. How would the DDoS change the properties of ingress?

They do actually burn gas locally, I wasn’t trying to dispute that part. It has become a political discussion in Memphis. Apparently they wanted to start operations on turbines before the grid access was ready.
- Comment on xAI Data Center Emits Plumes of Pollution, New Video Shows 3 weeks ago:
The linked video is a bit unclear to me. The don’t explain the modes well. Mostly it seems to just show heat. According to the description it’s a Teledyne FLIR G620, which should be able to detect Methane and other VOCs. But it’s not clear to me how we are supposed to distinguish hot rising CO2 and H2O from any potentially leaking Methane, in those pictures.

Friend of mine had the same scenario in high school. The only one who knew was the twin sister of the girlfriend. The rest of the family would never have accepted a non-muslim. It’s probably the only way to do this until she’s an adult and can tell them to fuck off.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 5 weeks ago:
it’s much easier to just substract 2 from 2000, “IIMM” duh!
For anyone wondering why this is wrong, there are two reasons:
-
The roman numeral system only traditionally contains subtractions from the next higher five- and tenfold symbol. So you can subtract I from V and X, X from L and C, C from D and M
-
The subtractions only generally allowed one symbol to be subtracted, with a few notable exceptions like XIIX for 18 and XXIIX for 28

Given 4/6 x > 5/6 y therefore x > 5/4 y
Marty’s Pizza must have been more than a quarter larger than Luis’. The kid is exactly right. And the teacher is not flexible enough to engage outside their expectations for how the question was supposed to be answered.

Since the others tackled polygraph’s uselessness, I want to comment on another angle:
I think fundamentally in such a case it will be easy for you to convince yourself that you’re telling the truth in the moment you say it.
After all you are telling the truth to a version of the question, and you only have an assumption that the questioner means a different version of the question. Even if it’s a good assumption, nothing in particular makes your version worse, in fact you could argue it’s better.
That combined should make it easy to mentally gloss over the contradiction. So I think your physiological reaction will be indistinguishable from telling the truth on control questions.

I use a 10Mb LAN connection to my Giagabit router
Is that a 10BASE-T connect over two pairs of twisted pair? But even then you’d naively expect Fast Ethernet 100 Mb/s at least. I’m curious what it’s only 10, can you tell us?
- Comment on Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year 1 month ago:
In my experience that’s usually the case for XG-PON and XGS-PON networks. Because you’re sharing one port on the OLT with up to 63 neighbours. Though I think most build outs aim for 16 or 32 splits.
Anyway they don’t want to risk you sending when it’s not your turn or disturbing your neighbours connection in any other way, they make you use their ONU. Basically the same old story like with the coax cable modems. Just because some idiot had to go and turn fiber back into a shared medium to save some strands.

Where am I supposed to get a 10Gb modem for residential use?
There are a few routers that have SFP+ slots so you can modulate to any laser signal your provider might require.
- FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro
- Zyxel AX7501
- TP-Link Deco BE85
Otherwise if you’re looking for strictly only a modem there are various available. They are usually simply called fiber to ethernet converter. Startek, Delock, Trendnet, FS
If you meant a switch, well 10G switches are abundant. Zyxel, Netgear, TP-Link all the usual suspects.

I think that only works with hot foods that don’t actually raise your bodies temperature
It feels hot and it affects circulation and stuff. But the physical heating effect is pretty minuscule. If you think about it, a human is more or less like 75kg of water at 36 degrees celsius, if you add 0.25kg of water at 50 degrees celsius (cup of tea) you end up with a body of 75.25kg at 36.05 degrees celsius.
