Signing (intermediate) certs have been compromised before. That means a bad actor can issue fake certs that are validated up to your root ca certs

While you can invalidate that signing cert, without useful and ubiquitous revocation lists, there’s nothing you can do to propagate that.

A compromised signing certs, effectively means invalidating the ca cert, to limit the damage

Clippy was always the symbol of my hatred toward technology companies . How did he get redeemed?

And beyond …. Your view of infinity is blocked because the speed of light is so slow

I don’t generally find any tab. I work with the set related to my task then close them. The tabs for the previous task are right there, so I can just continue that task until completed, then close those tabs.

It partly works, but I don’t always close tabs for interruptions and aren’t always able to work my way back to uncompleted tasks, so it builds up.

I want to start using workspaces or tab groups to improve my discipline but haven’t yet

Edit: and yes there are times when I don’t remember I started a task or can’t find my set of tabs so open a new set.

And no, multiple windows was a horrible idea. Instead of making it easier to organized tab sets, it made it easier to open many more tabs

I have close to 200. Every task I start has a new set of tabs. In theory I’ll complete them and work my way back through the stack

And before anyone thinks we should try the new irs now that auditing and collections have been purged, that won’t work for us. The vast majority of us have long since faced automated auditing. The computers are still there.

It’s only the wealthy with vastly more complex tax situations requiring teams of auditors to look at, that now have more opportunity to cheat on their taxes

Nope, you’re the only one who knows what’s going on!

I was repeating the number from the person I replied to - it did cross my mind that there’s a higher bracket, but I took the number - the existence of one more bracket doesn’t really change anything. Why do the brackets end when there are so many people so much wealthier? While I understand wealthy people tend to get money through other types of income, and that’s an even bigger issue, we should have more brackets. It seems like everyone agrees to have a partly progressive income tax (disregarding other types of income) with brackets so wealthier people pay a higher percentage, it shouldn’t end at what may be considered the lowest income of the wealthy.

Edit: 37%

Certainly a bigger problem is how someone who can afford over $1M private jet would be in only the 35% bracket

It’s not too bad as long as you’re not a dick about it. One year I marked myself as head of household instead of single. I’m not even sure why I did it. I only thought “huh, this saved a lot on my taxes”, and really had no idea what I was doing. They sent back a correction and how much i owed. I paid and that was it. Not scary at all.

Of course in today’s world all about spite and punishment I could imagine it being much worse

Does it require them to itemize? Most cant

Voyager I and II are 48 years old running on thermoelectric generators. that’s amazing. They are winding down because the half life of plutonium means there is much less power than when new.

I can see future probes lasting even longer with americium as a fuel source

But introducing moving parts for a sterling engine? In space? And expect it to last like that? Seems unlikely

On a similar note, that’s something we seem to have lost with the move toward glass food storage. With plastic containers, there were always choices with a little rack at the bottom so something like a said can remain out of its drippings. But I haven’t seen anything similar for glass …. And containers big enough for a head of lettuce are heavy and expensive

I welcome you!

That’s a tough. Normally I would hope there’d be an easy choice, but things have changed really quickly.

I don’t know much about real life in China but every time the current American administration violates human rights or represses science sacrifices our future to line their pockets or attack our friends and allies, it seems like I read about the Chinese government moving in the opposite direction. The direction of “good”, the direction the US always claimed to be. They seem to be making a lot of smart moves for their economic, technical and scientific future, and for larger influence as a global citizen. I have no way to evaluate the current level of repression but they’re at least saying alot of the right things

Sure, but solar panels are an end goal. Natural gas is at best an intermediary goal that also established new fossil fuel infrastructure, and may be much worse for the environment than expected, depending on methane leaks

The cynic in me says way too much of this is simply natural gas being less expensive, with no environmental motivation. And even worse that it doesn’t account for methane leaks

Just keep On, keeping on. One day at a time. Anything for the kids. Then catch up on sleep 20 years later.

My youngest is now at college so I can finally just chill. But I’m “lucky”, he’s been calling me a lot since no one else answers after midnight. Struggling to get up for work reminds me of the good old days of getting up for diaper changes

But the point of this video is whether the things you have control over make a significant difference.

You can if you just want the results but the value of a video like this is going over the process and the detail, so you know how much to trust it.

We just spend more and more time on our phones. I still charge every night. Each new phone I’ve gotten has had more battery life than the last but I also use the phone constantly, so it’s no more likely to last the day.

This is somewhat masked because my car has fast wireless charging. I just put my phone down and when I get somewhere my battery is topped off
