There are several ways. There could be a vulnerability in one of the underlying algorithms, in the crypto system, or in the implementation.
I’m not saying signal isn’t secure, but encryption can absolutely be hacked.

They’re saying it helps badly roasted/brewed coffee, not that it’s the proper way to make coffee.

Why do you think they’re on the edge of poverty? That’s the most racist part of your post, IMO.

That’s not a gap, you were working for the startup. Even if the company never put a product on the market, you were still working. Doesn’t matter if your didn’t even form an LLC. You should put it on your resume and proudly describe the work your did and challenges you faced when anyone asks about it.

Based on this research paper, washing with soap and warm water is enough to remove harmful bacteria.

That depends… I watched a video where a guy spent hours casting and machining a small part out of aluminum in his garage to avoid paying the manufacturer $30.

Probably TPU (thermo polyurethane), at least that’s what I’ve used.

You could print a mold and cast it out of food grade silicone.

No, this is fake. You can put whatever you want in the envelope and send it back, but they won’t deliver a whole package. They only prepaid postage for a letter.
Of course if you send something dangerous/threatening you might get arrested.

HOAs get a lot of hate, but the last one I lived in actually recommended mowing the leaves instead of bagging them.

Oh, he did it to another cop. Now I see why he was fired.
- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 5 weeks ago:
I live in America and haven’t noticed this as a man, I assume the misogynists have enough self awareness to keep it somewhat out of sight. The last time I noticed something inappropriate, the person quietly left the company a few weeks later. I have no idea if it was related to what I saw, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
I 100% believe that it happens, it’s just not visible to me.
- Comment on AI models can generate exploit code at lightning speed 5 weeks ago:
That still seems a little hyperbolic, but I see your point.
- Comment on AI models can generate exploit code at lightning speed 5 weeks ago:
Using your analogy, this is more like telling someone there’s an unlocked door and asking them to find it on their own using blueprints.
Not a prefect analogy, but they didn’t tell the AI where the vulnerability was in the code. They just gave it the CVE description (which is intentionally vague) and a set of patches from that time period that included a lot of irrelevant changes.
- Comment on Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly? 1 month ago:
Yes, obviously they’re for communicating with other drivers, what gave you the impression I meant otherwise? I was responding to this in your last post:
Unless you turn your blinker on to let people know your want over how is anyone going to give you enough space to merge in? […] You need to hit the blinker to let others know you want to move then check for space.
There are a lot of times where it makes sense to wait for a gap in traffic, rather than asking people to let you merge. And in those situations you would check for space before turning on your signal. You should still use your signal, even if you know you already have space to merge.
- Comment on Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly? 1 month ago:
LA has infamously bad drivers. In many parts of the country people will slow down and give you space to move over when you have your signal on. They’ll also do a proper zipper merge in a lot of places.
- Comment on Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly? 1 month ago:
Yep. If I know there aren’t any other cars within a quarter mile of me then the turn signal is just a formality. At best it tells other drivers the lane change was intentional, at worst it’s a (miniscule) waste of time and energy.
- Comment on Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly? 1 month ago:
That only makes sense if you’re driving on a busy road. If seems like half of the commenters here only drive during rush hour, and the other half only drive on rural roads.
If there isn’t much traffic it makes a lot of sense to wait until you have an opening and then turn on your signal, instead of turning it on before checking for a gap.
- Comment on Homer Simpson irl 2 months ago:
Personally, if I had something like that, that wasn’t causing me problems and wasn’t linked to future problems, I wouldn’t want to know. Especially because of how unknown it is. It sounds like there’s no way that information could be of use to anyone other than a researcher, so it actually seems right that you can’t share it.
On the other hand, I’m glad your other friend got their sinus checked out.
- Comment on Homer Simpson irl 2 months ago:
I’m curious, what exactly are you worried about with your friend? Are the abnormalities you saw linked to a treatable disease?
- Comment on Hate crimes 2 months ago:
Yeah, racism is considered normal in many parts of the world and you wouldn’t have a progressive spouse/partner, they’d both be racist.

AWD might help you avoid getting stuck, but it does nothing to avoid getting in an accident. A cheap 4 cyl FWD with chains or winter tires would do better than a Subaru with crappy tires in icy weather.

He can’t become a Saint until after he dies, unfortunately.
- Comment on Anon has marital problems 5 months ago:
No. Since you asked, I think the communication issues are most likely caused by both people involved, not just the man. I think the wife (in the OP) was expressing her own frustration when she suggested divorce, then felt like she had to follow through with it when OOP didn’t react the way she wanted/expected him to. It sounds like neither person in that relationship is communicating effectively.
- Comment on Anon has marital problems 5 months ago:
A lot of men genuinely have trouble communicating with all women (beyond superficial day-to-day interactions). I don’t think that’s misogynistic, I think it’s a symptom of a bigger problem in society. Boys aren’t taught how to interact with women, and when they fall back to what they were taught about interacting with other men they quickly get themselves in trouble.
- Comment on Anon has marital problems 5 months ago:
I think they’re expressing frustration about not being able to communicate with women, and I think it’s easy to misinterpret that frustration as aggression or misogyny.
- Comment on Anon has marital problems 5 months ago:
It’s not misogynistic to admit you have trouble communicating with women.
