Everyone knows what they are doing when gambling etc
But nowadays crypto is being pitched as an investment to the layperson who doesn’t understand the risks and isn’t being told those risks by the exchanges. It’s those folks the SEC is trying to protect.
That and prevention of larger market issues that can arise from unregulated financial services, ie FTX
This is just another dark pattern. All you need is freezing, it’s instant to freeze/unfreeze and required to be free by law.
They just hide the option on the site and make it seem like you need to pay for “locking”. I end up having to use Google every time to actually find the page to unfreeze.
(parent author) Thanks for everyone's responses. I think there are some solid examples that folks provided that definitely give me something to mull over.
Yes I know that traditionally media has been used for propaganda, but I'm surprised by the reactions in this thread and those who find what seems like fairly objective reporting as biased.
Can someone show me a story from the NYT world or US news sites that are deliberately misleading? If this propaganda is so rampant then where is it? (Note: I'm opinion articles excluded because they are uh opinions).
Headline is a bit misleading, the important conclusion is near the end:
“Bloom thinks the researchers make a good case that molnupiravir treatment is yielding some highly mutated viruses with the capacity to spread. But it’s not clear whether this could contribute to new coronavirus variants, or whether it is simply creating weakling viruses that are unlikely to spread very far.”
If it’s the former then I imagine the case is pretty strong to discontinue usage and switch to Paxlovid.
This is an important distinction to make. By omitting it your original comment seems to be purposely touting a lack of concern for personal emissions reduction.
Though this is a common issue, it is certainly bothersome when someone _wrongly_ assumes you are experiencing the XY problem and demands a lot of unnecessary information before helping you with something.
There are societal reasons why this won’t be accepted by the public. It’s sort of analogous to allowing the rich to pay for a higher spot on an organ donor waitlist, in theory it is economically efficient but in practice it is unfair and will cause outrage.
If you can pay for an alternative I’d strongly consider it. Blown insulation makes a mess of the attic. Makes it really hard to work up there if you need to get access, potentially blocks your soffits and decreases airflow, and makes it more difficult and dangerous to walk without risking falling through the drywall.
Anecdotally, in the last year it seems I run into a lot more distracted drivers on their phones. Generally when I see someone driving erratically, not maintaining speed, swerving, etc, I later notice they are heads down on a phone, sometimes even watching a video.
In the case of a multi-user machine, e.g. in a library, you expect there to be low privilege users with filesystem access. This bug introduces a way for them to do privilege escalation and potentially run code as root, which you did not intend.
Generally, you still want these additional protections even if you don't expect others to have access to a machine. Can't say if one or the other is a bigger problem. I think they are all components of having a secure system.
No almost never. That’s the job of the CI build. If the code doesn’t even run then it should be caught by the tests. If there are no tests that would catch it then they must be written before passing code review.
