Well, since this compromise only affects Solana and has nothing to do with bitcoin, I'd estimate 0.

This is the real headline.

I did know that PDF used to be able to contain malware, but I had assumed that this was a solved problem by now (email servers scanning PDF attachments for dangerous content, PDF readers not enabling the dangerous features by default, something like that). Apparently I was wrong.

Allegedly.

I got this sound clip and put it on my phone as my text message notification sound.

Its fun when you are out in public and it goes off and you see someone's head snap up and look around. Its like "they know".

Don't forget all the non-rural customers who will switch to Starlink just because they hate whoever they are currently with.

Use the 3dot menu in the upper right, and go to Help->About Google Chrome.

It will immediately do an update check and begin the self update if one is available. Otherwise it will tell you its up to date.

In the name of the holy trinity Kirk, Bones and Spock, let us pray.

Its buried under a big W.

Uber Pool does this on-demand. But its not available in all areas. I used it frequently in downtown Toronto. And its cheaper, about 2/3 of what the same UberX trip would cost. But it does make your arrival time more unpredictable because you might have to stop several times to pickup/dropoff other riders.

So, if the accusations are correct, those things are crimes. Treat them like any other crime. Report it to the police, and take it before a court and a jury. Was done with Bill Cosby, and he was duly convicted and penalized for the crimes he has committed.

But it shouldn't be worthy of any penalty to simply dissent from popular, orthodox opinion, even on controversial and sensitive subjects. Many dissenters are just cranks, but some raise a point we really ought to consider. We can't eliminate one and keep the other.

No a better comparison would be banning anesthesiologists from formulating their own fentanyl in the back of their van for use in surgery.

That's already illegal. As is selling home-brewed THC cartridges. So, basically, no new laws are needed, just enforcement of the ones already on the books.

Zero.

Drugs (except OTC) and procedures should be used when they are, in the opinion of the treating physician, the most medically appropriate option. The doctor should not be getting sent free swag or "wined and dined" to make him more likely to prescribe the drug or recommend the procedure. He should just have a list, know what they are and do, and choose the best one for the patient's scenario.

Couldn't care less if they "get a return on their investment". If drug research isn't profitable that way, do it at publicly-funded institutions, with all patents and proceeds available to the public at only cost of production.

The Internet would be almost inherently an "interstate commerce" issue, since data can pretty much never be guaranteed to stay within state lines. On such issues, Congress has the explicit authority to overrule state regulation.

That is not true on issues strictly internal to a state, but it would be vanishingly rare that a state could argue that an Internet-related issue is entirely internal to its own borders.

Gee, illegal street drugs can have dangerous things in them. I'm sure the FDA just now figured that one out.

The solution is simple: Legalize and regulate. People don't go blind from methanol poisoning when they buy a bottle of whiskey from the liquor store, because if a legal producer were to sell such a product, they'd get the shit sued out of them and likely face other sanctions as well. So, they're very careful about quality control. On the other hand, if you're buying a bottle of hooch out of some guy's trunk, well, you're taking your chances as to what's in it.

If you want to cut way down on the black market, create an alternative to it. How many people bought illegally produced liquor during Prohibition? How quick did that black market evaporate after it was ended?

Some days, I swear we never learn.

This isn't "the vaping industry" to begin with.

This is people who bought either cut-rate or illegal stuff out of someone's trunk, and then people are shocked, shocked I tell you, when such products are of, shall we say, highly variable quality and safety standards.

But dragging the legal market into it is idiotic. It would be like trying to ban anesthesiologists from using fentanyl because people die from overdoses of it when obtained illegally.
