How trustworthy is /haveibeenpwned.com?
Is there a chance the password people enter there for checking will end up in the databases?

Is there a realistic alternative?
I read a lot on entrepreneurship during 19th century and early 20th century US. My limited understanding: in those days entrepreneurs came from much wider range of demographics. In other words, entry barriers were much less during those days.

Very good observations. I think it partly explains why innovation is so hard in places where people live hand to mouth. It is simply excludes those demographics from participating in innovation and changing status quo.

Thanks! Your example is pretty interesting. Any reason why this is the case? In both cases, it is just accessing a memory location to read the value.
Are there compiler optimization heuristics at play here? E.g., for the local variable compiler knows that its value is not changing during the loop execution, so it can be pushed to register for faster access.

"turmeric lattes" :)
My kitchen medicine for running nose, soar throat is hot milk with turmeric. Works for me most of the times.

Can you please point to any resources that talk about heavy optimization options in c#. That 50-fold increase you talk about is very interesting. I would like to learn more.

it's not turmeric, it's curcumin, which is about 2% of turmeric by mass (so, you'd need to eat ~4.5g turmeric daily to match study doses)
Typical Indian cooking uses turmeric in pretty much everything. I wouldn't be surprised if daily consumption of turmeric is very close to the figures you mentioned.

1% of the Sun's output power seems really huge. Is this accurate? Any references?

Yesterday this news was on HN homepage.
I just wanted to submit this clarification.
It seems like a weird decision by the courts to block websites randomly to prevent piracy of some movies.
