Actually, it is unfair, unfair that anyone is homeless.

You’re not wrong and many people cannot afford to chose anything but the cheapest option.

Are putting money in the pockets of billionaires? If yes, then no, you’re not shopping local.

Really bad headline. The actual article is about a study showing that browser fingerprinting is being used in real time in pricing target ads to your browser.

To investigate whether websites are using fingerprinting data to track people, the researchers had to go beyond simply scanning websites for the presence of fingerprinting code. They developed a measurement framework called FPTrace, which assesses fingerprinting-based user tracking by analyzing how ad systems respond to changes in browser fingerprints. This approach is based on the insight that if browser fingerprinting influences tracking, altering fingerprints should affect advertiser bidding — where ad space is sold in real time based on the profile of the person viewing the website — and HTTP records — records of communication between a server and a browser.

“This kind of analysis lets us go beyond the surface,” said co-author Jimmy Dani, Saxena’s doctoral student. “We were able to detect not just the presence of fingerprinting, but whether it was being used to identify and target users — which is much harder to prove.”

The researchers found that tracking occurred even when users cleared or deleted cookies. The results showed notable differences in bid values and a decrease in HTTP records and syncing events when fingerprints were changed, suggesting an impact on targeting and tracking.

Additionally, some of these sites linked fingerprinting behavior to backend bidding processes — meaning fingerprint-based profiles were being used in real time, likely to tailor responses to users or pass along identifiers to third parties.

Aaaah! Act now! Hurry! Change ALL your passwords! Your password was stolen by malware on your device so change it now… on your device… that still has malware… Wait a minute. Shouldn’t this article at least suggest removing the malware first?

I bet the business address is that same as the one for his Trump watches, gold sneakers, and some “male enhancement honey” that you’d have to be very hard up well, desperate to try.

I would suggest going to either carbon steel or cast iron pans.

Particularly since the article that poster was referring to (I think this was the one) points out that the coatings were actually proprietary formulations and the manufacturers would not reveal what chemicals went into the manufacturing. Thus, no one has any clue what is really coming off in your food nor how toxic it might be.

It’s no secret. I live there. We have a huge property in the mountains with no neighbors in sight and that borders a national forest. The nights are pitch black with a million stars. And if the weather sucks and I can’t go out, then I have seven cats and three dogs that keep me entertained.

That would explain why NK has been willing to give him cannon-fodder.

And that’s not a sharpie.

Not normal at all. See a doctor. You could have pulled muscles or something like that or you may be like me and have degenerative disc disease.

The goal of alchemy was to change one element to another. Specifically, most of them wanted to turn lead into gold for obvious reasons. Chemistry evolved out of those attempts but never succeeded so I would say, no, chemistry is not alchemy.

On the other hand, we have now successfully turned lead into gold, so alchemy has been achieved via high-energy physics and quantum mechanics. But the cost to do so is so high, and the quantities involved are so low, it will never be a profitable venture. Plus the gold atoms only lasted a fraction of a second before they shattered into other particles.

It still is, and I think it’s universal for the English speaking parts of the world.

The result of addition is the sum.

The result of subtraction is the difference.

The result of multiplication is the product.

The result of division is the quotient.

Ah, I shouldn’t have skimmed your post. Thanks again, I’ll give it a listen.

Ooh, free Edgar Allen Poe book? Are you trying to be my new best friend?

I read a book called Lucifer’s Hammer by Larry Niven many years ago about a comet hitting the Earth. There was a scene in the book, after the impact, where a rich guy manages to finally reach a place up in the mountains where he has supplies stashed, only to find that his employees have claimed it for themselves and won’t let him in because he’s basically useless in the new world of survival.

If you were working for Huffman or Musk or any of the rest of them, and a there was a huge society ending disaster, would you let them in when they showed up or would you just shoot them down with their own guns? I know what I would do. I can’t imagine anyone letting them in.

Those ending in a ‘-t’ are archaic forms left over from Middle English.

Texas state legislature has passed a law making it illegal for cities to pass laws more restrictive than the state laws and Austin which is known to be full of progressives. This makes it a perfect place for Tesla to beta-test it’s software. They’ll kill people likely to vote for Democrats.

You can learn to consciously control a lot of things that various ‘lie detectors’ monitor. I took a stress management/biofeedback class in college where we learned to raise and lower galvanic skin response, heart rate, and blood pressure. It was a fun class, and in learning to control them, you can also reduce the chance of getting a false positive by keeping any of those variables from drifting to far from the expected range.
