"A Grand Unified Theory (GUT) is a model in particle physics in which, at high energy, the three gauge interactions of the Standard Model that define the electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions, or forces, are merged into a single force"ohhh so, no

Movie prop cars also display a decal (magnet that sticks to the car) that identifies the movie prop company, but that's hard to notice from distance.

Of course their license plates are real and standard ones.

One thing these cars are not allowed to have is blue flashing lights (prop cars use white lights, which will be turned blue using computer during edit).

There used to be a prop car company near I used to live and those cars can fool people from across the street.

I'm recovering a bit from a cold, but I don't think you can catch it from https://twitch.tv/codetherapy where I am imminently about to livestreaming exploring #scheme and #guix and #emacs and #hashtags and #ting .

Aw heck, Pocket Casts is now free!NPR and a few other public radio stations bought it a bit ago, and they're opening it up to make sure everyone has access to an extremely high quality ad-free podcast client, with all the features you need to listen comfortably, the way you should be able to. (Custom skip times, custom playspeeds, white space cutting, intro cutting, etc.) I appreciate that so much. I've used it for years and years while it was paid, and it's by far the best client out there, imo. I recommend it.

@skiring i may be missing something but if the email is sent via SMTP on an encrypted connexion (which should be the case nowadays), how is it different / less secure than you sending your order detail over https?

In both cases, the data isn't encrypted at rest (in the store database, or in the email), but is transmitted via encrypted channels so third parties can't really intercept it

I think the California guy will be acquitted. The state law defines what "peace officer" is, which means California Highway Patrol, county sheriff, municipal and district police, university police, correctional and probation officers, and federal agents.

The law does not contemplate foreign police agencies, as they have no jurisdiction or power in California to begin with.

He was driving a car that says 公安 (public safety, not 警察) does not probably establish guilt.

@clacke @isagalaev I think this is the fundamental problem with capitalist democracies. The capital accumulates at the top, and this gives the capitalist class a higher level of influence than the workers. They naturally use this influence to drive policies favorable to them.

Therefore capitalist social democracies are inherently unstable as they're continuously being eroded by capitalist interests.

@skiring You can opt out. Send it to me.

Here is a privacy thing that seems strange to me.

I buy something from an online store. The connection is https. Secure server. We protect your privacy, says the website. Great!

Once I've placed my order, they send complete details of my order to me by regular email. Unencrypted. The confirmation email includes my name, address, payment method, and the list of what I bought.

How is that protecting my privacy, ffs? And there is no way to opt out of this.

@clackeIt's been years I'm using GNU Unifont in all text editors and IDEs simply because it's free and supports all Unicode.But I've tried Fira Code and ligatures for something like a year. Not bad at all. You need to get used to it, but very nice.@KeyWeeUsr @mike
