Because adding this to the recent Ledger hack, how is anybody going to keep their crypto safe?

Isn't it only going to get worse from here?

It does. But if the name is "carriage return" and the icon is an arrow, it would make sense that the arrow shows where the carriage returns to.

It's still an understandable choice though. I am just adding thought to complicate matters.

The symbol is a bit awkward in conjunction with the name "Carriage Return" though, because the Carriage returns to the right. (assuming left-to-right writing)

I am a meat lover that understands that eating real meat is way too large a drain on our planet's resources.

To me, the progress vegan meat has made is an absolute godsend.

I used to eagerly anticipate the lab-grown meat revolution, but with the quality of current vegan alternatives, it just seems no longer necessary.

This is exactly the problem we're ignoring.

In the end, most software is a necessary evil. It solves a problem that shouldn't be there. In the end it's no different than healthcare or prisons. We don't need as much as possible. We need as little as possible. This automation isn't actually helping us.

Well, there is this: https://mobilitydatabase.org/ which sounds about what you're looking for, although it is still up to the client to combine the feeds its looking for.

Well, I am reading it and I hope I manage. It's pretty scary to leave behind what I've excelled in all my life but it is the only way forward for me.

So thanks for the encouragement :).

I think the worst is when they are skilled.

You're basically describing my work day. My job went from interesting, highly skilled work to mostly horrible brain rot over the past year.

It's depressing and I don't know a way out. Other then a complete career change, throwing away 30 years of experience and a matching salary.

I fully agree but that is a different argument than the one mingus88 presented. They suggested that the owner did not wipe the device because they did not actively enter the pin, which seems to be a flawed idea because legally intent matters.

A bit of topic, but does the word "seconded" still work when five are required? Isn't there a more generic term?

Yes. This seems mostly the same for lower-case, except we made a lower loop on the f as well making at one stroke.

Also, our capitals were a bit more complicated, such as having 3 loops in the H.

Going from 720 average to 100,000s peak still doesn't sound realistic. especially as they operate in many timezones.

100k(s) orders per minute is several orders of magnitude more than realistic. Amazon does 20k orders per minute.

Instacart doesn't need "100,000s of grocery delivery orders per minute".

There must be some 0s added for the sake of the story.
