That's pretty interesting. Are there any guesses as to why body temperature is declining?

Until you reach the level of authorities that provide those signatures.

I'd imagine fake IDs with properly signed cryptographic keys on their chips are available to any higher FBI, FSB or other agents.

My dads second wife has five passports. And more than a few names.

Whereas my single passport is expired mostly because I dont plan to go anywhere.

Luckily you can now report accounts for this, and with enough reports they will be auto-muted now.

Pity you need the computer to press mute for you. I do it myself but I don't have a butler either.

The kind of hacking that happens in first person shooters has nothing to do with security failures. It is fundamentally impossible to stop aim bots. All you can do is continually play cat and mouse games to make it harder.

happyconcepts commented on Commits are snapshots not diffs (2020)   github.blog/2020-12-17-co... · Posted by u/warpech

Why have so many people written long thoughtful explanations about how the author is wrong to suggest snapshots are a better mental model, and that you think all abstractions are leaky, but you find diffs a better mental model?

The entire article is literally about how commits are literally snapshots. I would say people didn't read TFA, but a lot of people are quoting lines from TFA and then going on to argue with/expand on them in a way that is directly contradicted by the next few lines.

I think it's because most of the people here have spent years working with git, and are so deeply attached to their understanding that they didn't hear most of what the article said.

(Some commentators have pointed out specific oversimplifications the author makes like glossing over pack files, I'm referring to the people who say a git blob is a diff when the entire point of TFA is that it isn't)

As opposed to the current presidential liar? Or his former boss who was also a presidential liar? Or Clinton, a notable presidential liar who by sheet coincidence was married to a wannabe presidential liar?

Just trying to narrow down which presidential liars are acceptable and which ones we throw down the memory hole.

When you wake up you will find that the current president is not bullying twitter or making racist remarks thereupon whereas McTrumpie and S Cohen are looking to take down twitter. But you knew that.

Props to Twitter for not being bullied by that ex-presidentual liar.
happyconcepts commented on Neuroscientists discover molecular mechanism that allows memories to form (2020)   news.mit.edu/2020/engram-... · Posted by u/andyxor
iandanforth · 5 years ago
Please please don't take away from this that there are "memory cells" that "encode memories." The article is so badly written it seems to imply that. Memory is a whole brain phenomenon, and memory formation involves connections being formed and lost constantly between all types of neurons everywhere in the brain. One small aspect of memory (episodic memory) relies more heavily on hippocampal neurons during consolidation, and a small portion of that process is what is being discussed here.
happyconcepts · 5 years ago
Good memories exist too (I myself still have a few).

Surely there must be a better way to conduct this experiment than to terrorize innocent mice.

Why can't they
