The problem is for many years now the smallest phone available has been getting larger and larger. This has lead small phone enthusiasts to cling to their old phones as long as they can stand it until they are forced to step to a larger model.


If your ISP issues you a routable IPv4 address then not much. Otherwise IPv6 lets you avoid CGNAT and all of the issues that come with that.


These days ACH settlement runs multiple times a day. The biggest source of delay for ACH transfers is your bank delaying release of the funds for risk management. ACH transfers can be reversed even after they have "settled" and if the receiving bank has already disbursed the funds then they have to eat the cost of reimbursing the sender. Reversals are more likely to happen soon after the transfer completes, so delaying release of the funds makes it less likely the bank will be left holding the bag.


> Medical insurance companies often already go out of their way to pay early to save in the long run

Literally LOLed when I read this. Health insurance companies might pay lip service to this and make some token gestures like free preventative care, but in my experience health insurance companies frequently shoot themselves in the foot by denying care that later ends up costing them even more when the patient's untreated condition worsens.


Maybe true in US, but here in Europe ie my health insurance gives me rebate on my gym membership (any gym). With some more automated low cost gyms I can get back up to 50% back. This seems like a similar case.


The important part is the short term gains, and the people making them jumping away on a golden parachute before the long term consequences kick in.


> Because at the time those vulnerabilities could be exploited by executing malicious javascript in a browser to steal passwords

"could be" is doing a lot of work here. AFAIK there has never been a PoC or active exploit which actually exfiltrates sensitive data from a browser using these vulnerabilities. Anyways, browsers have long since implemented software mitigations.

IIRC the real criteria for W11 support has to do with TPMs. Microsoft really wants to have secure boot on all Windows systems.


Spook.js was demonstrated to steal passwords from another tab by running innocent-looking JS via the Spectre vulnerability.

Yep. I have IBD and have to track calories to keep my intake _up_. It's shocking how much food you have to eat to get much more than 2k a day.


It's not at all difficult if you are eating junk food. For example a single Medium Pizza alone is enough to fill your entire day's worth of calories.

I know because I've experimented with this when I started measuring my weight, heck sometimes having a single Wendy's Baconator will not only fill your entire calories but even make you gain weight.

Your activity levels of course also matter but I'm assuming sedentary lifestyle.

This is much more different for healthy foods however.


I get sick of junk food quickly (and sometimes sick from junk food).


It doesn't need to be a cash cow (and probably shouldn't be), but public transit should be able to break even because that is the only reliable signal that a service is providing enough value to justify its cost.


All roads should become toll roads then. The moment you leave your private drive you should be paying for the roads to break even.

Calling the police or fire department should incur service chargers.

Libraries should charge rental fees.

Schools should all charge tuition, including "public" schools.

If they're not at least breaking even, are we sure they're providing any public good?


Roads and highways don't break even. I guess we should stop maintaining those, since they don't justify their cost.


If they're breaking even then what "cost" is there to justify? That's a really roundabout way of saying that public transit doesn't deserve public financing.


If that is the only reliable signal in this context - what signals of measuring value are available in this context that you feel are unreliable?


Did you look at the linked list? This is the opposite of cherry picking, nearly 100% of these grants are absurd.


The "you're fucked" was written on the inside of the ejection port dust cover so that it would become visible after the weapon was fired. The implication is that he was eager to shoot someone.


I’d say the medium is the message in this case.


Pretty much any algorithm that involves mul/div/mod operations on array indexes will naturally use 0-based indexes (i.e. if using 1-based indexes they will have to be converted to/from 0-based to make the math work).

To me this is a far more compelling argument for 0-based indexes than anything I've seen in favor of 1-based indexes.


Forget multiplication, even addition becomes simpler.
