And if that works, then I think the days of pi being irrational will soon be over.
The difference has nothing to do with the knowledge.
In the stock market, the money put in is actually used to advance the value of the stock. It's an investment just like you paying somebody to make widgets (that manufacturer could screw up his work and lose all your money, but that possibility does not make it gambling). In polymarket the money you put in is not used in any way to advance the outcome you are betting on.
"Protect" does not mean "it is impossible for you to get it". It means "it is less likely you will get it". You know that but you just want to rant and lie as it somehow makes you feel better. You are a sick loser.
I don't know what media you are watching, but every report I have seen is pointing out how unlikely spread of this will be. And this is reports from a variety of politically leaning media so it isn't even a polarizing issue.
We had a vote on that. Your proposal lost. Deal with it.
"Jailbreak" definitely implied something illicit in 1974 when AC/DC performed the song, but in 2026?! No. Jailbreaking is totally legit 99 times out of a hundred.
Jails were once respected because they were a product of society's consensus. When DRM appeared, jails became anyone's restrictions, with no societal inputs and no claims to legitimacy.
If you break out of the county jail or federal prison, that's a whole other thing than breaking out of your neighbor's sex dungeon. And almost all the time we talk about "jailbreaking" now, it's analogous to the neighbor's sex dungeon. Nearly everyone would agree it's legit to leave, and any illicitness is on the part of the captor!
[I]t's important to note that jailbreaking a Kindle might violate Amazon's terms of service.
Isn't the context here, that there is no service? I suspect that whatever terms the two parties came to agree upon, Amazon is the one who has initiated the violation of those terms, by ceasing to provide service!
Slashdot is a website for the elderly.
Modules aren't a security risk. Code is a security risk.
So do you or do you not understand that allowing tons of obscure code to be loaded dynamically (hint: modules) that you certainly don't need or want is a security risk? Meaning TFA solution, which addresses modeules, is a good methodology for many systems, especially servers?
Consumer advocates are now pushing for structural changes: mandatory software escrow funds that would keep vehicle software running even if the manufacturer disappears, open-source mandates in bankruptcy proceedings, and shared repair data requirements...
Now I know this sounds crazy, but stick with me for a moment: How about we require car manufacturers to deliver finished products to customers? And how about we also require them to provide meaninful service and repair data along with the vehicles? No more connected services unless they are non-essential to the car and trivially switched off, removed or replaceable. So that means no more repeated software updates will be required.
To thine own self be true. (If not that, at least make some money.)
