> Which is why I defer to my anac-data, which admittedly biased illustrates that its just not effective but is entirely moot without addressing the core of the issue and principal of the matter as a whole: body autonomy.

Can you explain how sugar tax is an issue about body autonomy ? As far as I can see, you are free to continue putting sugary water into your body. Is the argument that even a small increase in tax is an encroach upon bodily autonomy ? Do you consider farm subsidies (e.g. maintaining US corn production) as a bodily autonomy issue then, since it lowers the cost of corn / fructose and making them available in more food ?

Quantum computer becoming available / powerful does not mean all cryptography will get broken. People who have actual knowledge and expertise are already busy working on various aspects of PQC.

Recovery email is good but still not the most reliable way.

My #1 recommendation is to setup a passkey, and also set multiple security keys as the 2nd factor. All other authentication factors are subject to some form of heuristic defense.

Beyond that, a few optional things you can do in addition:

- Use Advanced Protection. - Use a platform that's more secure , which are iOS, ChromeOS and some android (e.g. Pixel), in general and especially during recovery attempt.

> This seems like a huge failure on the part of the NTSB.

This is a deep misunderstanding. NTSB is not an organization with a regulatory power - it is an "investigative" agency. It does not have any mandate or power to stop anyone from doing anything. It can investigate and issue recommendations and reports to other agencies that have the actual power - FAA, FHA, NHTSA, etc, etc.

Anyone jumping up and down about MV3 while using Mac or iOS are hypocrites, since MV3 is essentially doing the same thing Safari did years ago, finally matching the security and the privacy in that regard. The reduction in adblocking is so miniscule in aggregate - since declarative approach will always cover all the major advertisers - that it's not even a meaningful "trade-off".

I mostly stopped reading paper books, as I do almost all book reading through Libby app on my tablet that has a high resolution display like most tablets produced in the past few years. It's a superior experience than a paper book in almost every way.

At work and home, with 4k monitor, it's so much easier to put multiple reading materials side by side and read / research across.

In 2012, even on the state of the art computer systems, the reading experience wasn't as good as it is now.

From the article:

> Because the woman was already receiving immunosuppressants for a previous liver transplant,

This makes sense - this was the first trial, so doing this on a person already on immunosuppressants minimizes risk while still validating the basics of if it works at all in the first place.

> its trivial to write memory safe C++.

Very bold claim, and as such, it needs substantial evidence, as there is practically no meaningful evidence to support this. There are some real world non-trivial c++ code that are known to have very few defects, but almost all of them required extremely significant effort to get there.

Why is that relevant ? This is a classic "ad hominem" fallacy.

There's quite a few extremely callous statements in some of the comments and I agree that they deserved to be called out.

This "why" is more "what are the underlying economics that enable the development of the better chip". Economics doesn't guarantee you'll get a better CPU. It still takes a cutting-edge engineering team with a good CPU architect to build that best chip. e.g. Intel didn't fall behind because of lack of money.

It's not a counter-point you think it is. ARM is not a primary reason why Apple's M series are so much better. If it is, other ARM should be able to match, but they don't. Simply put, Apple built a good microarchitecture and a pipeline - e.g. M1 has, e.g. 600 reorder buffer. Back then, this was 2x of most other CPUs, regardless of ISA. This is not something you can just throw more transistors at it - you need all the other parts of the processor optimized in order to make that useful, and Apple did. Simply, M-series are one of the best out-of-order pipelines ever built.
