Once you take the leap of faith and accept that a housecat can have opinions about days of the working week, anything can follow.

Malcolm McLaren was one of the great admen of the 20th century.

The sword and hammer should be crossed diagonally, and the sickle balanced beneath them, IMHO.

Given how Facebook aggressively guard their assets (i.e. their users’ contents and relationships), I imagine keeping this working would be a constant game of cat and mouse.

If the gold is in an accepted standard form, such as krugerrands, you just need to find a precious metals dealer. If it’s just a pile of gold, then there’s a lot of hassle. I imagine ingots of the sort national gold reserves hold would be somewhere in between.

Shifting a large quantity of gold may require a non-optional explanation of its provenance, with “I woke up and it was just there” or “a genie gave it to me after I did an online quiz” not being adequate, and an inadequate explanation resulting in its forfeiture if not more serious legal hassles. With a large pile of gold and no good explanation, you may be reduced to smurfing small pieces of it to different dealers, moving around a lot and avoiding the attention that such a pile would inevitably draw.

In a civilised country, driving would be reserved for those capable of doing so safely and efficiently (the qualifications would be on a par with certifications for operating similarly powerful industrial machinery, and would not be graded on a curve to ensure a car-dependent society can function), but infrastructure would be designed so that one could live a full life without driving.

It was also slang for bisexual, though not sure if that preceded or came after the band.

People have reported regressions with post-3.4.1 versions of rsync. If it’s a coincidence, then it’s one hell of one.

Did Intel somehow manage to close the yawning performance-per-watt gap with Apple Silicon, or is this just this year’s latest potato?

It’s this guy, right?

You take your choice: Mossad or the PLA.

Has this been audited? It’s easy to claim that something is secure, but there have been products that made such claims and were trivially exploitable.
