From the abstract:

> We find that women’s products are more expensive in some categories (e.g., deodorant) but less expensive in others (e.g., razors).

I have yet to read the complete article but it looks like female razors are actually less expensive, despite being significantly wider according to your experience. We should start a nationwide campaign for male consumer rights equality, quick !

Or the Unix vision of composable programs that do one thing and do it well. History repeats itself.

The Gitlab mascot is a raccoon dog, closely related to the true fox. FauxPilot.

Is this not how DRM works ? If you support deliberately handicapped content distribution platforms with your money do not blame anyone else but yourself

Edit: more precisely playback of DRMed content requires the endpoint to provide the distributor with guarantees wrt content duplication. It works exactly the same with DRMed content in Firefox because ultimately Apple/Mozilla do not make decisions on what you can or cannot do, Amazon Prime dictates that you can only access content if you relinquish your rights to prtscr (that is - the DR in DRM), and you decided to access the content.

If that happens, fork. It's (literally) free.

GOG has removed some games from the shop - an infamous case being the three Fallout "Classic" games upon release of new and inferior versions by Bethesda.

However at least in this instance the games are still in my library years after.

Of note Steam despite its reputation has done the same with LOTR War In The North and Hentai Loli vs Pedobear (don't ask, it was a gift by a deranged friend I swear ;))

Numerous French nuclear plants are past due date but their lifespans have been extended beyond their expected lifespans for what looks to me like political and economic reasons - instead of building new ones in time to handle the transition.

I do not know what the intersection is with the set of reactors that had to be shut down. One must understand that EDF is under immense pressure as an underfunded public provider, as it is forced to comply with price regulations (out of its own pockets as the government owes it a lot of money that curiously fails to be paid back), provides electricity at a discount to other European countries - someone has to compensate for Germany's plant closures - and private providers - which do not produce anyhting, they buy power at a discount from EDF then resell it to French people at a markup et voilà. EDF is also bound by law to buy solar energy produced by homes for a higher price than they end up selling it later on.

Basically my argument is that this might have less to do with the reliability of nuclear energy and more with how the EU, the govt and private parties rip EDF off while leaving it with no option as to what to do with its aging nuclear park.

Well easy, Europeans are going to fund it with their taxes, public search labs are going to build it, private companies squeeze the concept for cash for as long as possible while taking EU taxpayer money as "research grants" and claiming operational costs as "research tax credits" which will set them up as special parners for the next EU cashgrab (I mean quadriannual plan) since they have successfully run a public-private partnership (into the ground)

t. was involved in one of those plans as part of the research team in a public lab

While it is a worthy goal to achieve mastery of such techniques I do not believe they would inherently make you happier or better. Years will pass and soon enough you will come to regret the care-free life of a teenager. Take it easy mate.

I feel this article is not quite clear about the whole process. The secret which I take in this case is the private key is supposed to reside in your phone's trusted platform module and to be completely inaccessible nor stored on a server, however it is possible to synchronise your keys through iCloud ?

Also what happens when you flash a Qr Code, is Apple involved at any point (which makes it a pretty big spof) ? Can Apple add/revoke login authorisations for individual devices, and if so is there really a fundamental difference between this and an Apple SSO with biometric checks ?

From a naïve point of view it resembles Github/lab/tea SSH key-based authentication with extra steps, a us-based third party cloud provider involved and a new sheen of consummate proprietarism
