"Thief believes everybody steals"

> "Thief believes everybody steals"

The correct analogy for espionage isn't crime. But even taking that framing, if everyone actually does steal, it doesn't do you any good to be naive and deny reality.

It's a proverb, not an analogy (hence the quotes). Read it like "Just because you do X, doesn't mean that everybody else does X too"

/me going to the store, to buy a cigar

My kids were very a bit too reckless with the DVDs - thrown all over the living room and some got scratched and/or soiled to the point they couldn’t be played and the dvd tray took some rough handling as well.

Than give them a VCR :P

Worthless (as in low monetary value) doesn't mean useless.

Funnily enough this concept is literally called the "diamond-water paradox".

That is not correct. You can use a "USB security key" - e.g. YubiKey See https://www.bankofamerica.com/security-center/online-mobile-...

Woah, they actually do! Thank you! I was certain that no US bank supported WebAuthN yet.

They also do seem to check that it's actually a hardware key, i.e. software authenticators like Google's or Apple's default solutions don't work.

Good to know, thanks.

Selling a house in Denmark requires the seller to acquire a “condition report” from a certified inspector. The report is valid for 6 months and costs around $1000. This also ties into the optional “owner transfer insurance” which covers serious defects / building code violations undetectable by the inspectors. The insurance lasts 5 years and costs $2000-$5000

In the US afaict inspections are a plus but not required for sellers to provide. Lots of people were waiving their right to inspection in order to make their offers on houses more attractive to buyers. Kind of a stupid thing to do, but people had low interest rates and were desperate to buy

The Open Air Museum in Denmark is a museum of old buildings from all over the region

> The museum features more than 100 buildings from rural environments and dating from 1650-1950. All buildings are original and have been moved piece by piece

Is this something that happens often or are you simply speculating?

As the author writes: it's not a secret, anymore than your house adresse is, but it allows a burglar to recon and plan an attack

> There is no denying that modern graphic resolutions have reached unachievable heights

Who thought current resolutions were unachievable?

There were articles every few years about some density of transistors being a hard limit. The we crushed it. Then we packed more layers. Then we crushed the new limit again. The resolution was not mentioned, but effectively it would be limited too if the frequencies couldn't go up.
