It’s to enforce Chinese law abroad. Google “canada chinese police stations”.

adespoton , to nostupidquestions in American wanting to move abroad, what's the best bet for an registered nurse?

Spoken like a true neglected 13 year old boy.

As you get older, you’ll find that actual relationships are more rewarding than trolling.

Worth noting that the Prime Minister does not have the same executive powers as the President. If Polivere actually wins a majority of seats (unlikely), he’ll still have to work with everyone else to get things done.

It’s more likely the conservatives will win just enough seats to have to run a minority government and work with the Liberals, NDP, BQ and possibly Greens. And I don’t see the current conservative party surviving more than one election cycle.

If you don’t want to move far and want a similar but more centrist culture, you could move to Canada — this would make it easy to move back in the future if you want. And unlike many Americans, as a RN, you could actually move without much difficulty. I know a number of RNs who have made the move and are happy about it.

adespoton , to nostupidquestions in Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures?

Yes… and someone to their liking has the possibility to be a more stable, longer lasting relationship. Plus, they’ll come with a stronger support network.

So if you think of a marriage as being to promote stability and perpetuate humanity, arranged marriages make sense. If you think of a marriage as something based solely on romance, the experts are obviously the people getting married.

Personally, what I’ve seen in western society is that people tend to live common law, and when a couple feels like they’re fairly stable together and they want to have children, then they get married.

This obviously doesn’t work in a society where you don’t get to try out living with someone first, or where birth control is frowned upon.

adespoton , to worldnews in US says Israel's use of weapons may have violated international law

The news here is that the US “may have” admitted it finally.

adespoton , to technology in A Staggering 19x Energy Jump in Capacitors May Be the Beginning of the End for Batteries

Yes they do… including not holding a charge when the differential drops too far.

The real wins are in battery-backed capacitors. Charge the caps fast, then let them keep the batteries topped up.

adespoton , to worldnews in Israel Dropped US-Made Bombs on Lebanon Medical Center

Are we sure they were bombs and not random airplane components?

adespoton , to cybersecurity in Debian just released a kernel update with hundreds of CVE IDs

Anyone know what the upstream schedule is? Do these kernel versions map to other distributions?

adespoton , to worldnews in A Columbia professor wanted to document history. NYPD arrested him outside his home

“Generally speaking, there is still a First Amendment right to record in public as long as they’re not interfering with police,” Wong told USA TODAY. “To me, this sounds like a devious arrest.”

Ah, but who defines “interfering?” Is it “what a reasonable person would consider to be interference” or “whatever the police consider to be interference?”

Because under the second definition, police could arrest a judge that refused to issue them a warrant and get away with it.

adespoton , to nostupidquestions in Why don't computers have "computer-numbers" equivalent to phone numbers

That’s like saying “why isn’t my phone number that I set up on my own POTS network usable on the international telephone system?”

If you’re behind NAT, you aren’t technically on the Internet; that’s why you need Network Address Translation in the first place.

IPv6 fixes this by letting every conceivable device have its own address on the Internet, but that comes with its own security and privacy issues, so it’s rarely used.

adespoton , to nostupidquestions in Why don't computers have "computer-numbers" equivalent to phone numbers

All you have to do is buy your own IP, and you can use it whenever you want. You don’t have to use one given to you by the upstream gateway via DHCP or BootP.

Of course, you need to make sure the upstream router is configured to not drop addresses it didn’t assign itself.

adespoton , to nostupidquestions in How do passkeys work across devices?

Definitely. Costs extra, has an extra step to set up, and has an extra step to use, but is so much more secure.

That said, biometrics are better than “1234”. I have no issues with people who have bad password hygiene moving to biometrics, which at least add an extra barrier for account compromise.

But for the rest of us, physical security tokens are definitely the way to go.

adespoton , to nostupidquestions in How do passkeys work across devices?

I’ve got a pair of YubiKeys that I use to back my passkeys. Works great; I’ve got passkeys that work within the Apple, Microsoft and Google ecosystems and don’t have to worry about password prompts for the most part — but I DO need a YubiKey handy to validate that it’s actually me at the device.

My keys use both NFC and USB-C and work across all my passkeys supported devices when I add in a USB adapter.

One spends most of its time in a safe deposit box, and the other lives on my physical keychain.

To use it, the person would need to be logged in on a device I own (that’s password protected) AND have one of the keys (which also requires a PIN).

Sounds like a client limitation?
