I actually find the coin-style zero superior, like that shown in Hack font, as it avoids ambiguity with the Ø symbol.

Well, my understanding is that there's a submission then various teams are apprised and given x hours to complete, where x would obviously be greater than twenty-four, and not necessarily handled in one setting, such that there'd be a 'reveal' disclosing successful contestants. So it looks like I wasn't mistaken there.

But that still does not address the matter of rigging and whether Pwn2Own has clear rules against it. I don't know, which is why I asked.

Given enough time, we may find out. Does Pwn2Own have any stipulations against 'gaming' their events?

>among other government agencies.

That's my point. And I'm suggesting going a step further to non-domestic agencies.

Nowhere do I suggest the point in the article is false. I merely suggest it is closer to cherrypicking as others are obviously neglected. Does the FBI come to mind at all, for instance?

I didn't justify the NSA nor 'dismiss', I said everyone does it, so singling them out in particular is dishonest.

Furthermore, it is their mandate to do what they do; ask yourself: which agencies exist that have attempted to extend beyond the scope of theirs?

This is a serious concern, esp. in diplomatic relations.

Relatively undergeneralized as the entirety of the internet's traffic is collected by various agencies, and singling out the NSA seems rather hamfisted.

Clearly not accurate. For one thing, there are many kinds of meditation, so the assessment that meditation (as a whole) is demotivating is overgeneralizing. Secondly, as further revealed by the study itself, motivation isn't a factor for successful task completion, so there may be something about self-attributed motivation that is superfluous to task completion (i.e., meditators become disabused of that and merely handle the task at hand).

Night owl here. Didn't need this study to tell me what I already know. That is all.

Perhaps truer words were never spoken...

Given that the etiology of Alzheimer's is tied to the very same proteins that must be cleared out during sleep, and that the requirements of sleep decrease with age, there seems to be a cyclical feedback loop at play here, insofar as healthy aging does not typically difficulties with R&R. (This example becomes more salient in the case of supergenarians who can rest and let little stress them a great deal.) Compound that with a likely immunodeficient response during sleep (where the brain is supposed to become more spongy) for these proteins to be cleared out and a poorly functioning blood-brain barrier, it would seem finding treatments that focus on these self-restorative responses would be most beneficial. Whereas treatments that temporarily boost processing capabilities will only somewhat delay the onset clearly shows that this is most likely the case.

I wonder what study on general EEG signatures may reveal with respect to the efficiency with which the cleanup process can be facilitated thereby. Perhaps meditative practices could be demonstrated as a form of protein-cache clearing even when in a waking, albeit altered, state of consciousness.

Obviously not. And the exceptional cases like those where the SSD can be swapped out for larger-than-stock SSD's make the point of connectivity pretty moot. And how hard is it to get connectivity nowadays?

This is a fair description. Google would never exempt itself from info gathering. It's their platform, after all.

Irrelevant since both played no role in sharing a fraction of the misinformation output by Mockingbirds.
