The difference between the Internet on April Fool's Day and on other days is on the one it is packed with false stories full of pandering nonsense written by charlatans to gain page views, and on the other it is the first day of April.
But to answer your question, to a lot of people, yes, morality stops at the country's border.
Only if you're an international douche bag of the highest order. Occupying the lowest stratum of moral behavior is what damns organisations to fighting themselves as much as they fight real enemies.
You'll do better to cut it up and cook the breasts for less time than the legs.
I'm a security expert. Unless you know how the internals of the IRS and SSN computer systems, you can you predict how blocking the social security electronic access would affect the way people can interact with the IRS computers?
How would blocking social security electronic access block IRS electronic access?
Having a system that supports the creation and nurturing of the next generation of mankind is in the long term best interests of homosexuals just as much as anyone else. Corrupting it into something purely based on decadent sex is not wise. For anyone.
Bullshit. You don't believe this, it's just an excuse to enable your prejudice. If you really believed it you'd be up in arms over opposite-sex married couples who don't have children and supporting same-sex couples who have children (adopted or other wise).
I solder SMT components by hand as well. Don't even need a microscope; just head-mounted magnifier glasses is plenty. Make sure you have good light and plenty of flux and you're good to go.
But the problem is the board. Sure, if you have a finished design already, and you intend to actually use it in the future, then sending off for a finished PCB is good. But if it's just a hobby, and you're prototyping or just playing around to better understand a particular circuit, then spending a good chunk of money and weeks of time for a board is simply not feasible. You really want to set something up, try it, then tear it down and try the next idea.
With that said, I don't know that this is the answer either. Hand-drawn does not sound precise enough to handle SMT, and a whole separate device just making prototype boards sounds like too much money and space for a hobbyist. Perhaps the answer is desktop mills that become cheap and precise enough that you can use them to cut out boards from copper blanks along with other building tasks. At least that would not be a single-purpose gadget.
Right.
That's a classic model for attacking with a MITM. MITM the http page (because you can). Get a cert for say irs.taxservices.com instead of irs.gov On the switch to https, redirect to the irs.taxservices.com. Continue to MITM, proxying to irs.gov while the user enters all their secrets.
This is why the home page should be https.
Sorry. 4 bits. 1/16. 6.25%
The 'hard' questions where things like 'what was your monthly payment on that loan'. There were 2 hard question, each with 4 choices. So that's 3 bits of information. You would expect to guess correctly 1 in 8 times. So if you have a database of SSNs and names and DOBs, you can succeed first time on 12.5% of them on average.
In the article, there is a link to sign up in the first paragraph.
My point was that a typical taxpayer might go there and not even know there's an option to sign up. Not everyone reads Slashdot. I only know because I read the Slashdot article.
I did. That's how I found the place to sign up.
I signed up.
It gave password rules and validated the password on the fly with four green ticks, one against each rule (> 8 chars, special chars etc.). I used a 32 character password generated from my password manager.
The web page then errors out each time I tried to enter the password, saying it needed a valid password, even though the password was declared valid each time. In the end I got it to work when I reduced the password length below 20 characters. This may be due to the length, or some other difference, since my password manager was creating a different password each time I fiddled with the generator rules.
The whole thing sticks of basic programming incompetence.
I just went to www.irs.gov
The advice to sign up there may be reasonable, but the words 'sign up' or anything semantically similar do not appear on the front page. It's not obvious where you would go to try to sign up.
It's not https either.
And electric resistance heating is usually *terrible* compared to any number of available alternatives.
It represents a *huge* waste of exergy, when a heat pump (as you allude to) can produce several units of heat for one unit of electricity.
So, in summer it's all bad and in winter it;'s at least 75% bad. And that's ignoring (eg) CO2 and other emissions from the generation mix.
Can we stop with this "waste is good" meme?

An electric heater heated by electricity from nuclear or hydroelectric generators is in no way worse than the alternatives from a carbon and/or sustainability point of view.
