Might be unbreakable, but all the attacker has to do is put money on it once and then just duplicate the card. You don’t need to beat the encryption. You just need to make the machine think the card is legit

ridethisbike ,

I just re-read the comment chain and saw it was mentioned before. Oops lol

ridethisbike ,

Is THAT your litmus for freedom?! In some states women can’t choose to have an abortion. And in all of the states people have to choose between going to the doctor or paying rent that month… But goddamnit, at least they don’t have to deal with those pesky tethered bottle caps!

ridethisbike ,

I’d rather deal with a poorly designed bottle cap than half the shit we have to deal with here in the US. There’s a reason you’re getting down voted. What you said is so narrow sighted that it’s not even funny.

We have MUCH larger issues we have to deal with than a stupid bottle cap. “Glad I don’t have to deal with that here” is showing a willingness to ignore everything else.

ridethisbike ,

Ootl… What’s going on with that particular power plant?

ridethisbike ,

Oh good Lord. Fuckin idiots.

ridethisbike ,

Keep the rubber side down, also.

In the helicopter world is “keep the spinny bits up”

So… Not quite how it works. The company gets an authorized number of shares which it can then issue out, or sell to shareholders.

If you own 100 shares out of the 1000 they are authorized, you own 10% of the company.

Now if they request and are authorized more shares (which is what happened here), your stake in the company is cut down. Let’s say they get authorized and issue another 1000 shares, bringing them to 2000 total shares. You now only own 5% of the company.

And with these new shares hitting the open market, prices will drop because now there is “more supply than demand” (it’s an easy way to think about it). In theory the whole thing will eventually even out, but that generally doesn’t happen here because the value of the company hasn’t changed.

This whole thing is different compared to a stock split, which affects the price and the number of stocks, but not your overall stake in it. If a company does a 2:1 split, your shares will double, but the price per share will be cut in half. 10 shares at $10 now becomes 20 shares at $5… Your stake is still at $100

ridethisbike ,

You’re joking, right? You realize the group of people you’re talking about, yea? This bot 110% would be used to further their agenda. Real discussion isn’t their goal and it never has been.

ridethisbike ,

No, thanks. 🙂

ridethisbike ,

That is soooo far from the point that it’s not even funny. Nice straw man though

ridethisbike ,

you’re a fuckin idiot

ridethisbike ,

While I agree with the sentiment, I don’t think it really applies in this case.

That said, people shouldn’t be blocking access to a public area just because they’re upset about something

ridethisbike ,

How is a hot spring something that people NEED to use? You’re acting like it’s a necessity of life to go use it. It’s not. And the people using it are poor? That’s a pretty damn big generalization you’re making there to try and further your point.

They still should NOT be blocking people’s access to anything, but don’t turn this into something it’s not. The destination and their wealth aren’t what matters here. They’re pissed that there are more people around and trying to do something about it. This is a common theme with any tourism heavy area.

ridethisbike ,

I mean it’s not quite THAT cut and dry… But I can agree with the sentiment

ridethisbike ,

Not with that attitude they’re not

US aid policy on Gaza 'absurd' given military support for Israel, UN expert says (www.reuters.com)

A U.N. expert on Friday criticised U.S. efforts to boost humanitarian aid to Gaza, such as plans for a temporary port and recent air drops, which he said were “absurd” and “cynical” methods so long as military aid to Israel continues....

ridethisbike ,

Or Israel could quit their shit. That’s the FIRST first resort

ridethisbike ,

HE SAID GOOD BOT

ridethisbike ,

So fuckin what? Doesn’t mean you need to be a dick about it

ridethisbike ,

Your page isn’t blocked. I found it on DDG just fine. Second page, as the other commenter pointed out.

What else are you claiming gets censored? Would love to put it to the test myself.

Edit: and startpage has it on page 3. Are you claiming they censored you out, as well?

ridethisbike ,

I down voted you because you down voted him

What is bit rot?

They also have a shit ton of guides on their website that show step by step how to make various repairs, and they are free.

IFixit aren’t the bad guys here

ridethisbike ,

It’s not just about making fun of her. You’re leaving out a very important part.

It’s also about making fun of the conspiracy nut jobs that think the Superbowl was rigged and that Swift was behind the whole thing, which is the premise behind her plane being the one that dropped the acorn

ridethisbike ,

Bro you need to quit trying to justify the scammers work

ridethisbike ,

Well you have to get the install files moved over to the sandboxed PC somehow. If it is infected and you plug in the USB drive or whatever that goes back and forth, you could spread the virus through it.

ridethisbike ,

Well I hope you reported them, as well

ridethisbike ,

Just recently made the switch to Firefox. What settings do I need to change?

ridethisbike ,

The downvotes are because people think you’re talking about her literal ass…

If you’re not, you might want to rethink the wording here

If you are … Well then may God have mercy on your soul.

I prefer to believe you meant it in the “I want to tell my best friend I love them without making it weird” kind of thing

ridethisbike ,

Where’s the sauce on that?

ridethisbike ,

Even better… He’s from the past.

ridethisbike ,

Doesn’t it also mean a higher compression ratio? Meaning more power behind the same A:F ratio? Or am I as dumb as the guy who put the stickers on that truck?

Appeals court allows California law to go into effect, restricting concealed carry in public places (www.cnn.com)

A US appeals court Saturday paved the way for a California law banning the concealed carry of firearms in “sensitive places” to go into effect January 1, despite a federal judge’s ruling that it is “repugnant to the Second Amendment.”...

ridethisbike ,

He’s right… What he said doesn’t automatically constitute a reference to mass shootings. When I read it, I didn’t think of it in that regard.

That said, he’s pulling the straw man out for you, or moving the goal posts, or whatever its called… He’s not answering your questions and instead turning the argument against you by focusing on something you said wrong. He’s arguing in bad faith.

ridethisbike ,

You’re correct on that point. But you still didn’t answer his question. Don’t argue in bad faith like all the others do. He’s trying to have a constructive discussion with you. You want to change his mind? Then engage with him. Otherwise acting like you just did shows that you have no intention of engaging with the actual topic and are instead trying to put him on the defensive because you know you lost this argument.

ridethisbike ,

Ok so you’re both arguing in bad faith then, got it.

Before that post? No, you didn’t, but I wasn’t referring to that post, was I?

And you’re right, no one answered it. Everyone in this thread needs to understand that the person they’re talking to isn’t going to do the work to change their own minds. You want to change someone’s mind? Put in the work, show references. Show studies. Show articles. We can all argue on logic and suppositions until the cows come home, but when has that ever worked for you to change someone’s mind on such a divisive subject?

I can Google a million articles about people getting shot with their own gun. Can you also do the same and show me something where the law abiding, gun carrying, citizen saved the day at a park? I bet you can. Prove it.

There will always be violence. Guns don’t change that. The only thing they do is make the death toll go up faster. You want to reduce the number of deaths by gun? Reduce the number of guns. And I say that as a law abiding gun owner.

ridethisbike , (edited )

You’re an idiot.

Edit to add: and the reason is because you are failing to see the correlation between what I wrote, why restricting guns is a good idea, and how it applies to the law in the OP. Like I said, you’re arguing in bad faith and, at this point, INTENTIONALLY not engaging in the subject and are choosing to twist things around. I don’t know why I expected you to be any different than any of the other gun nuts out there. Scream a little louder next time, it might change my mind.

Michael Cohen cites AI-generated court cases in his defense (www.theverge.com)

Michael Cohen, the former lawyer for Donald Trump, admitted to citing fake, AI-generated court cases in a legal document that wound up in front of a federal judge, as reported earlier by The New York Times. A filing unsealed on Friday says Cohen used Google’s Bard to perform research after mistaking it for “a super-charged...

ridethisbike ,

I think the issue is we’re still in pretty uncharted territory here. It’ll take time for stuff like that to become the norm. That said… The lawyers should be doing those kind of checks anyways. They’re idiots if they don’t.

ridethisbike ,

He was quoting the article, just so you’re aware

ridethisbike ,

Nah dude… That’s why they skipped 9 because 7 ate it. 9 was never a viable option

ridethisbike ,

You ok, bud?

ridethisbike ,

Well here’s hoping they don’t do that

Do generators et al have emissions standards they need to follow?

Damn… It’s almost like we should leave mother nature the fuck alone

The real protips are always in the comments

ridethisbike ,

He’s referring to a group of people they intentionally cut others off and slam on the brakes to induce an accident that they can sue over. And it happens a lot. Dash cams are saviors.

ridethisbike ,

You’re crazy.

ridethisbike ,

This was my thought as well. They should be used in addition to, not as a replacement for, trees, bushes, and grass.

It does make me wonder, though, whether or not we could use these to help capture more carbon than we’re creating.

ridethisbike ,

I’m not saying it’s right, but this is what happens when you’re sold a physical item compared to the license to view an item, which is what we’re now being sold. It’s bullshit, but to say what you did in your op is categorically incorrect.
