Does the cryptography community have a backup plan for if Alice and Bob ever break up?

Windrose is drastically improved when you turn on the sea shanties while sailing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_Wl...

This is just "silent majority" nonsense but left.

To put this in context, the U of U has an annual budget of $8.6B. <$1M in potential losses for ALL public Utah universities is almost a rounding error. Still worth stopping, but not as huge of an issue as it might seem.

The issue is less one of qualifications (even though Kai is grossly unqualified) than it is of attempting to pad the resume of a political ally in an attempt to build them up for something bigger in the future. #utpol www.ksl.com/article/5151...

This happened in Ogden, people. OGDEN. #utpol

You know, John, I think most of us would rather you do something about the would-be king turning the country into his personal wealth extraction machine. Do you even know what your job is? #utpol www.deseret.com/opinion/2026...

If you ever want to spice up your game night, here's an idea.

A lot of Utahns know exactly what's happening and hate it. Unfortunately, the #utgop has ceded the field to the nuts they used to sideline, and almost everyone else still in the party is too "nice" or scared to say anything about it outside of private conversations. #utpol

Started my first play of the Kingdom Hearts series last night. 1) It's already VERY weird. 2) The first one is absolutely oozing with early 2000s vibes.

RFK Jr speaks about my children in a way that is fundamentally and wholly incompatible with a Gospel understanding of them. God loves them as much as I do. RFK Jr hates them. This entire administration is an embodiment of the Antichrist. #lds www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/liahon...

Wild to learn just how many restrictions are imposed on SPF records by RFC 7208. For larger corps, you are probably rocking broken ones and have no idea leading to weird mail delivery problems.

TBH this is the same logic that leads us to set age requirements for tobacco and alcohol. What's bad for kids is usually also bad for adults, but we will allow exploiting adults for "freedom" (read: profit) purposes.

A county commissioner once told me to stick to computers, so I said "Why? Are you going to stick to cabinetry?" He didn't have any witty retorts after that.

It's truly a fantastic game, and anyone from the South (hi!) would recognize this form of folklore storytelling. Fair warning, there are some VERY heavy bits of plot in there, so only play if you're in a decent headspace.

This is especially true because it is not especially hard to convince yourself you are marginalized when you are not, and that your enemies have more power than you, when the reverse is true.

This has new meaning now.

if you tell a Linux Guy that you think UI matters to most people they'll try to kill you

In retrospect, it's weird that so many crackers were also talented musicians. Anyway, enjoy this trip down musical memory lane, fellow nerds. keygen.music

Maybe this song was a mistake.

I really dislike the construction of "claim, claimant" rather than "claimant, claim". You should prime the reader with the claimant so they immediately know how to judge the claim.

Niantic was always scraping by until Pokemon showed up. They got their first big cashout by selling it to the Saudis, and now they've figured out how to really turn their data into money: weapons. They couldn't just be satisfied with a fun break-even enterprise like Ingress.

Me waiting for a little less wind so I can spray my lawn.

Sounds like Springdale and Moab, UT. 20 years ago, the workers could afford to live in the towns and close to work. Now many of them are an hour away because what they used to rent is all AirBnBs now.

Makes me think of the first episode of Ozark: "It's not the first time she did it. It's the first time she's been caught."

Trying to force every retirement plan to buy this stinker was the only way it wasn't going to crash and burn harder than one of their rockets. Any fund manager who is interested in not being the subject of a class action has probably moved funds around to avoid the liability. (Read the thread!)

At least have the courage to say "he'll be more of a proxy vote for D leadership than Collins" and own that, while diligently seeking to replace him ASAP. Don't make up some mythology that downplays the cold math you're actually doing in your head.

My favorite is when they're weirded out by ice and AC, but after a few months they are very much used to it. I feel like we could all learn from each other and adopt the best parts.

I'd say the volunteer green beans are doing okay. #gardening

Pageviews are a cost, and it seems like a bad idea to structure your business around increasing it.

1) It will eventually be as cheap, cheaper, or free in the future when you have the time. 2) Don't wait to buy the meta when all of your friends are playing it now. Trust me. 3) The game will be its best self 2-3 years after release, which should inform your buy/pass decision.

I can still install games from Steam that were delisted a decade ago, and I got the series for half the current retail. Consoles keep on telling me "don't buy me" with flashing red lights and sirens.

There are 12 #GeneralConference talks about abortion (per the topical guide) and about 10 pages of talks about the US Constitution. I think we're getting clued in that abortion as the sole political topic is maybe, just maybe, far too narrow and self-defeating, and it comes at a high cost. #LDS

Mike Lee won't learn a thing from this, but it is fun to see him go through exactly what some of us said would be happening and crashing out this hard over it. #utpol

This would be right at home on Adult Swim.

The tactical ferret needs to know how well they work as ammo for the fire team.

Three years ago I called both AI and FSD a sham, and a guy I know lit me up saying I had zero credibility for making these claims. Anyway, he doesn't talk much about either anymore so I'm calling that a quiet win.

Finished the main story of Horizon: Forbidden West tonight. Such an amazing game with rich characters and a compelling plot. Eager to finish the Burning Shores DLC, but also super angry at Sony for deciding that future installments will likely be exclusive to PlayStation. Jerks.

AD is the best implementation of LDAP (derogatory).

If he can pay his own way and not externalize his costs onto us (utilities, heat, pollution, etc.), he can build whatever he wants. The problem is that we're all being asked to bear a lot of costs that we should not. And Kevin over there has been a bully and liar through the whole process.

There's a location in Horizon: Forbidden West that is obviously meant to be a reference to the long-gone Imperial Palace in Las Vegas, and boy was it a TRIP to read about the guy who owned the place.

AI has ended up being a "ready, fire, aim" project where the layoffs happen BEFORE the automations are built and validated. Often it feels like a convenient C-level scapegoat for layoffs that they were already under pressure to do anyway.

The Republican pattern has been to "shrink" government through debt-financed tax cuts to make people FEEL like government got smaller. But there's been little effort to make government more effective because that means admitting that any of it works. This mismatch gives us Tea Party nonsense.

When you see an established player calling for regulating the space they are in, it is almost always about building a moat around their business to keep competitors out.

You know your #homelab is well-designed when it all comes back up cleanly after a power outage with zero intervention.

I talked to someone in Cedar City about this, and the top 10 water users have refused to change their usage even with steadily increasing rates. Their attitude is "we use what we use and will pay whatever you charge". At some point you have to cap 'em. #utpol

Major power outage in Cedar City. No stated cause yet, estimated restoration is 6PM.

Turns out that "hobbyless" is a very apt descriptor. Have some hobbies, real ones, not arguing with people on the Internet.

Just set this up and it works great. Just make sure you're granting Zone DNS read/write permissions to your API key if you're using Cloudflare. #homelab
