deleting someone’s entire git history

Based on the image text this is for new accounts only. My account has neither phone nor credit card and I’ve not been asked to re-verify. Maybe they’re having problems with bots at the moment.

If you pay with your CC and sign the receipt after seeing the total, you’re going to have a very hard time getting it removed.

A good pair of pliers, like the Knipex Cobra.

It seems silly to be distrustful of proprietary BIOS firmware without having the same skepticism of the actual hardware.

I had a linux 5520 and it was terrible. Standby and bluetooth never worked properly. Are the new models any better?

I think it’s more like “snuck up on us” than any kind of nefarious connotation. Kind of like “how did a niche game like BG3 sneak into the top ten games list”?

Blocked by my employer’s security policies.

That’s why your phone has a brightness slider, or better yet an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness. DE will need something similar.

And no decryption keys for other attached drives.

Did nobody stop to think that maybe the value of A24 comes from the fact that they’re not making bland action blockbusters?

As someone who has designed and used telemetry systems, I’ll never quite understand the strong aversion some people have to them. Telemetry is what lets me tell my boss “yes people really do use our software this way and we can’t break it” or “90% of crashes happen right after the player uses a grenade”. And despite what some conspiracy theorists would have you believe, telemetry data for software from reputable companies does not get sold or used for marketing purposes. Our lawyers make sure of it, and also make us go through privacy reviews to make sure that data isn’t leaking PII.

Unlikely - this is on an iPhone, which has better color accuracy than most consumer displays.

Need to see the bottoms of those pieces.

Free access to contraceptives, proper sex education, and protecting abortion rights would go a long way to reducing the birth rate.

Does everyone have to like it or do I just get to pick one and everyone has to live with it? If the latter, I might give technocracy a try…

it is not unaffordable to the 99%

You’re right, and that’s not what’s being claimed. It’s just saying that in 99% OF MARKETS, the median price exceeds the means of the median income. This isn’t really that surprising, actually. In a perfectly balanced market, you’d expect the median price to be exactly equal to the affordability of the median income, so about 50% of markets would be above this value, and 50% would be below it.

It’s probably also true that a far greater percentage of markets are affordable if you look at median income vs 45th percentile home cost, or 55th percentile income vs median home cost.

All this means is that if you make median income, you’ll probably need to buy a house that’s below median price.

You’re right. This is just an example to illustrate the statistics involved. At this point it doesn’t seem like you’re continuing this debate in good faith.

I can’t tell if:

1. You labeled the colors wrong
2. Your camera white-balance is way off
3. You are moderately color-blind
4. Some combination of the all of the above

Because to me, “White” looks like olive, “Magenta” looks like salmon, and “Pink” looks like clay.

It’s completely different.

Imagine you have 10 people. 1 has $100, 2 have $50, and 7 have $20. Now imagine you have 10 stores selling pants. 1 store has a few pants for $50, and a bunch for $10. 1 store has a few pants for $80 and a bunch for $25. 8 have pants for $30, $25, and $10.

In this scenario, the median wealth is $20, and in all but one store the median price is $25. So in 90% of stores, the median pants cost more than the median amount a person can spend. BUT, all but one still have plenty of pants that cost less than the median. Given this, you wouldn’t say “90% of people can’t afford pants”.

the statement that 99% can’t afford them

That’s not what’s being said. The claim is that the median home price in 99% of regions is unaffordable with median income.
