The issue with self-signed certificates is that anyone can generate a self-signed certificate for your domain. :^)

CAs provide a reasonable amount of trust that a certificate is from the actual owner of the website.

Nope. Per TFS, drivers are paid the same amount regardless of tip amount:

"For my first order, the guarantee was $6.85 and the customer, a woman in Boerum Hill who answered the door in a colorful bathrobe, tipped $3 via the app. But I still received only $6.85. Here's how it works: If the woman in the bathrobe had tipped zero, DoorDash would have paid me the whole $6.85. Because she tipped $3, DoorDash kicked in only $3.85. She was saving DoorDash $3, not tipping me."

Unless you're Wall Street, you're not paying taxes for this.

java and javascript are completely unrelated though. javascript is much less of an infection vector.

Quantum computing isn't happening, so the threat they pose is purely hypothetical.

Didn't Notch promise back in the alpha days that people who buy during alpha would get all future expansion packs for free? This sounds like it would qualify. Microsoft almost certainly won't care about Notch's promise, though.

Downloading implies keeping data more than temporarily, whereas retrieving doesn't.

NEVER use Google Translate with Latin. You'll get complete garbage almost all of the time (e.g. It used to provide "lacus non leo" for "merry Christmas," which actually means "the lake isn't a lion" and seems to come from lorem ipsum).

Let me help you:
Rotae iustitiae volvunt lente, sed ruminant optime.

"Angelina chose the color of the walls, the textures, the ambient sound track" So all it did was randomly choose a few things. Completely stupid. That isn't "AI" by any stretch.

Protip: DNA is universal. There's nothing that marks any genes as being from any particular species. It's just DNA. The original species of a trait doesn't matter at all if DNA—what you're taking—is species-blind.

DNA isn't really a species-specific thing. There's no way you could tell that a sequence of DNA from a starfish was actually from a starfish without comparing it to the DNA of other starfishes.

And extra DNA doesn't cause mutation. Mutagens, radiation and miscopying cause mutations. Additional DNA is usually far more beneficial than harmful, because it can provide extra resistance to pathogens, as #44406327 said.

Also, jeez, you sound like a conspiracy theorist.
