> Much of the so-called "mystery" of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) comes from the lack of openly available, detailed evidence that would allow researchers to evaluate hypotheses and construct explanations.

No, much of the mystery comes from not talking with the locals (the Rapa Nui).

I have been to Rapa Nui (Easter Island), and I highly recommend visiting.

Also, some of the mystery comes from podcasts that pretend to be authoritative and spew out falsities.

Cell phone companies like AT&T could offer kid-lines (with filtered Internet access) and Google and Apple could provide kid-modes on their phones that don't allow VPNs or apps to be installed that parents do not approve of.

Maybe there might already be ways to prevent VPNs/apps, but it doesn't seem to be easy and/or publicized.

Identity fraudsters beg to differ.

> what is texting their kid going to do?

Those parents don't realize it's going to get their kid shot when the kid is hiding and the gunman hears the ding or buzz of the notification.

You can carry a small laptop in your pocket?

Source? Considering that not all cars for sale have all of those features, I'm pretty confident in saying that you're wrong.

Back-up cameras are required by law, so that requires a screen, but the law does not require that screen do double-duty as an infotainment screen.

One problem I see is, people may not want to wait 20 seconds for a dice roll.

There is also the nostalgia of a D20. Just keep in mind that this will be a novelty and not a replacement. Unless people still D&D in steam tunnels and such?

The bathrooms at my workplace are fit for purpose too, but that doesn't stop people with bad hygiene from leaving a line of fecal matter at the rear of the seat (where the cheeks meet) and not wiping away sweat, lint, and hairs, or prevent them from missing and peeing on the floor.

I feel like a toilet, shower, and sink could be added to an efficiency apartment for 3m².

If people want to see how small a room could get, see ships, especially crew quarters. I could probably design something with a kitchen, bathroom, washer and dryer, bed, desk, and storage for 15m².

I'm looking for the quietest 6 bay NAS possible.

I have a beQuiet case and six 30TB HDDs, and I plan to put the Ubuntu with a Plex server on a NVME SSD and do a ZFS 4+2.

Can anyone point me to a better/quieter set-up? Thank you in advance.

Looks cool. At first I thought the numbers might have been the dollar amounts from the Price Is Right prize wheel.

If you ever mass produce these and the price is right, I might buy a D20 version.

Does any software have a survey for what users want? Instead of immediately pushing AI, they should have pushed a survey where AI was one of the choices/questions.

Monero's main "competitor" seems to be Zcash which is run by a VC-backed company. The company gets 20% of all mined Zcash. The incentive is very strong to FUD Monero.

As of this comment, Monero is #26 on CoinGecko's list of crypto by marketcap with Zcash at #27. I'm guessing that's why there's a few of these posts on HN all of a sudden.

This reply seems like textbook F.U.D.

Your post seems like F.U.D.

#1: "between 2019 and 2023"

#2: the author wrote "This attack is not realistic. ... This is why everyone needs to run their own node"

#3: "digital forensic approach can still reveal sensitive information by examining off-chain artifacts such as memory and wallet files"

So...

#1 seems to have been mitigated.

#2 seems to not be an issue if you run your own node.

#3 seems to not be an issue if you don't let others do forensic analysis on your own computer (not the Blockchain).

It's good that people do this research to help make Monero better. I am not criticizing the people that published what OP linked to. But of course OP's post is like saying "What makes you think paint is safe? Here's a post about how paint used to include lead."

A forum I manage was DDoSed, but I think it was by (AI) content scrapers as no one expressed any issues or anger towards the forum.

I temporarily got around it by blocking the subnet of their IPs.

I have since put it behind Cloudflare.
