That’s “parent” not “adult”

I with no kids at home have excellent sleep

Teens are the ones (after new mothers) who suffer the most, with natural sleep cycles starting around midnight or in the early morning and wake times in the late morning or early afternoon, but school schedules that force them to be active at school from 9am

My sister got told off regularly for reading after lights out

As adults my mother told me that after they found books for me I liked they pretended to never notice the light leaking through my doona, they were just happy to see I was reading

It’s not like the US manufacturers anything anymore, and Hollywood has forgotten how to make movies

It’s like you don’t even try to export your culture anymore, when I was a kid everyone watched Sesame Street, now all the kids in all the English speaking world are watching Bluey

Yeah public transport is ideal for most transport cases and should be funded by cities to the level to allow it to provide that

But still some cases call for individual transport and my preference on that is taxis over Uber and the like as taxis have a duty to pick up anyone who can pay which the newer companies don’t

I hope that self driving taxis include accessible ones, I expect there will still need to be a class of staffed cars to help people who need assistance - eg those who can’t lift their bag into our out of the vehicle, those who need assistance to put on a seat belt

Like when Ukraine was an SSR?

Gen X here. I agree torrents are for legit uses only

Usenet is the best for piracy

Generally yes, buy when it is low. Have a look at some graphs of recent performance to see if this is lower than typical weekly low points

Tesla does have room to expand; the biggest risk is that Musk does something stupid that damages Tesla, he has not done so yet - he seems competent at running (or has given important parts of the job to competent people) Tesla and SpaceX

Safer investment is through exchange traded funds, especially those which track major indexes (also known as index funds). You buy these the same way you buy other stocks - you’re buying shares in the fund

They should outcompete Uber and the others. They should provide very low cost point to point transport

I think he made it reasonably clear that $30k was for the small self driving taxi, and the mini-bus would also become available

I vote for Putin

Just heard about it on the radio. US gov seems hopeful that this might bring the end of the war soon

Israel says they’re going to keep going until all hostages are returned. I wonder if Israel has made that an impossible condition to give themselves reason to keep the war going until the one state solution is the only solution

I think in 2001 I was making a Linux from scratch system having not gotten enough from red hat and Debian with home configured and compiled kernels

Fun times and no, nothing like the commercial home operating systems back then

A hundred more on a thousand dollar device sounds exactly like the 10% duty we pay on things we import

If the password hashes aren’t salted they can be cracked with a rainbow table - every password up to (whatever length the rainbow tables go up to now - 10 chars?) is easily cracked in seconds

I expect Internet archive salts their password hashes.

It doesn’t matter if the salting method is known, all salting methods are known and it’s easy to see what salt a password is hashed with as you need to know so you can hash a received password the same way for validation

The real advice is to use a password manager to generate random passwords and store them for you, so no two passwords are the same, and the only password you need to remember is the one to unlock the password manager

I use keePass as it’s open source and available on all operating systems. Also you can move the camel case in your head to make it keepAss.

There was at least the pax romanus

I used to really like an apple turnover. Warm, with cream

Given the now known precision of Russian high tech missiles, your chances should be good against WW2 high tech weapons

I feel like they’d be fighting with swords in that case

That area has been a warzone forever
