Gonna guess the ghost writer of that law were, in fact, Uber's lawyers.

Better than an integer at least.

Race science's worst enemy: actual science.

Even if he did, are we pretending this congress will say no? When they haven't so much as even objected to all the other blatantly illegal shit he's done?

Is that the whataboutism they keep accusing us of?

Radiation, in this context, is light. Everything from old school AM radio, to microwaves, to infrared, to visible light, to UV, and finally gamma rays are all just photons. For light, there are two energy metrics: how much energy the individual photons have, and how many photons are being emitted per unit of time. Only the energy level of the individual photons determine if the radiation is ionizing, as in, powerful enough to rip electrons off what it hits, including important molecules like DNA. Ionizing radiation starts at the UV range, so anything below that is not ionizing. This is why you can get skin cancer from UV but no amount of visible light can cause cancer. And microwaves are well below even visible light so they aren't ionizing either.

Also, Wi-Fi and cellular networks operate in the microwave range. In fact, your microwave oven is 2.4 GHz, which is what older Wi-Fi equipment exclusively used, which is why your Wi-Fi connection used to crap out when you microwaved something. The reason you don't feel your hand heating up from the microwave rariation coming out of your phone is because the number of microwave photons per second being emitted by your phone is far less than a microwave oven. Your phone's antennas are 1 or 2 watts while your microwave is over 1000 watts.

Another case of piracy having far superior user experience compared to the legal, honest way of playing the game, not because piracy is intrinsically better but because the publisher deliberately makes the official experience as inconvenient and exploitative as possible.

I used to have a git repo in my emulator's save directory so I could have checkpoints that I can restore to if I ever get stuck.

Does Pokemon have microtransactions now? If so, I wouldn't be surprised if they deliberately made the transfer mechanism buggy so some kid loses all their Pokemon and their parents are forced to buy them back to get them to stop crying.

This is why the "nothing to hide nothing to fear" line is bullshit. You can be a model citizen and there will still be people actively trying to use your data to harm you.

Would you leave your door unlocked just because you're not hiding illegal activity in your house?

You can fit millions of books on a chip the size of your fingernail.

 

Not the first time this has happened either, here's another similar case in Atlanta: https://abcnews.go.com/US/mother-boy-killed-hit-run-driver-probation-community/story?id=14158040

Receiving a spam call puts you in a bit of a dilemma, or at least it does for me: How do I deal with this call that doesn't alert the spammers that this is an active number that they can call again? Answering the call is obviously the wrong choice, but I always assume that rejecting the call outright will also be detected as a deliberate action and therefore a person is on the other side. Some people have suggested answering the phone but not talking, so they think it's a dead number, but I want something more definitive.

My idea is to have a "spam" button on the incoming call screen, that answers the call but doesn't connect the microphone. Instead it plays either the standard "the number you're dialing is not assigned, please check your number and try your call again" recording, or a fax/modem sound to make them think the phone number belongs to a machine and not a human.

Would this work? Or would they still be able to determine that the recording is spoofed by the phone itself? Does anything like this already exist?

 

Also, do y'all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?
