Fair enough. I was speaking towards the perspective of op. We were encouraged, not required, so there were definitely some folks who would do that.

That sounds like poor IT policies to me. In previous office jobs I’ve had, our computers were configured with our working hours and we wouldn’t shut them down at the end of the day, so that any updates could happen off the clock and minimize that sort of disruption.
This is why we need a corporate death penalty.
There’s also WSL though your mileage may vary.
I think I’m gonna trust someone from Harvard over your as-seen-on-TV looking ass account, but thanks for the entertainment you’ve provided by trying to argue with some of the actual mathematicians in here
There are already plenty of companies that sell managed data removal like this, Mozilla claims to be doing it better and perhaps they are incrementally more trustworthy than the smaller no name ones
I got this super cheap camera off Amazon a while ago, it doesn’t have software or any special drivers. You just plug it in and Windows sees it as a generic video device.
What are you talking about? There are endless services where you can get a free email address without spending a cent. Verifying that an email is genuine is a much harder ask than you might think.
I still remember staring into that giant ball of plasma and thinking it was the coolest thing I’d ever seen in a video game.
It’s an absolute tragedy we never got a half-life 3.
Silicon and silicone are two very different things, just FYI. But that does make sense
It’s still bonded to silicon carbide…
Don’t get me wrong, it’s an important advancement in semiconductor technology if the claims they’re making hold up. But it’s grown on silicon wafers. “Post-silicon chips” feels somewhat misleading here
And I bet the characters they’re playing are too.
Yes, enforced pseudonymity would work much better. You can have up to three, or some number, of identities, they’re not linked to your info but they are all linked to each other.
I appreciate your optimism.
You can lead a horse to text, but you can’t make him read
While I appreciate the nitpick, I think it’s likely the case that “kills a bunch of people” is also something we want to avoid…
[…] the question is ambiguous. There is no right or wrong if there are different conflicting rules. The only ones who claim that there is one rule are the ones which are wrong!

As youngsters, math students are drilled in a particular
convention for the “order of operations,” which dictates the order thus:
parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (to be treated
on equal footing, with ties broken by working from left to right), and
addition and subtraction (likewise of equal priority, with ties similarly
broken). Strict adherence to this elementary PEMDAS convention, I argued,
leads to only one answer: 16.Nonetheless, many readers (including my editor), equally adherent to what
they regarded as the standard order of operations, strenuously insisted
the right answer was 1. What was going on? After reading through the
many comments on the article, I realized most of these respondents were
using a different (and more sophisticated) convention than the elementary
PEMDAS convention I had described in the article.In this more sophisticated convention, which is often used in
algebra, implicit multiplication is given higher priority than explicit
multiplication or explicit division, in which those operations are written
explicitly with symbols like x * / or ÷. Under this more sophisticated
convention, the implicit multiplication in 2(2 + 2) is given higher
priority than the explicit division in 8÷2(2 + 2). In other words,
2(2+2) should be evaluated first. Doing so yields 8÷2(2 + 2) = 8÷8 = 1.
By the same rule, many commenters argued that the expression 8 ÷ 2(4)
was not synonymous with 8÷2x4, because the parentheses demanded immediate
resolution, thus giving 8÷8 = 1 again.This convention is very reasonable, and I agree that the answer is 1
if we adhere to it. But it is not universally adopted.
It would be so cool to have time and money to mess around with this bleeding edge stuff.

Front trunk. It’s aggravating slang, but it’s been in use for decades, well before Tesla.
