They didn't have some secret way of defeating 40 bit encryption; anyone could do it. 512 bit asymmetric encryption was also brute forced by a private entity, albeit at a high budget.

Your answer makes it seem like you too missed the point. If a Starlink sends a 1000W signal to Earth, that is 1000W of power that does not heat the satellite.

Wouldn't "code sign" be two words in English? And "code signing" rather than "code sign"?

When you're talking about changed laws, are you referring to the civil case against E. Jean Carroll? And when you are talking about "charges that the banks said weren't even an issue" are you talking about the civil fraud case? No banks were victims in the hush money case, which is where the felonies are from.

US colleges last one year longer, and the first year is more academically similar to the last year of high school in Europe.

In addition to the other signs that this is fake, you can't "check your mail" and find a certified letter.

This is not exactly skeptical analysis of such an extraordinary claim. I can put the same image on my screen and print a letter like that with no involvement from Tesla.

Twitter has a permanent outage reporting breaking news. Whenever something big happens now, the feed looks like any other day. This didn't use to be the case.

Maybe unrelated to your question, but the individual bars in the Fed vault have specific owners. They are not mingled.

A more sensible way to break it down is by "something you have" (phone or YubiKey), "something you know" (password) and "something you are" (face or fingerprint).

Username and password are both something you know, so they count as just one factor. A card on the other hand is something you have, so combined with the PIN that's two factors.

Seems pretty similar to distributed rate limiting. But it's much simpler to solve the common case of overspending on a single API: give each API the same daily limit with no communication between APIs.
