It’s very efficient. The net electrical energy saved using the latent heat of water is 30 to 100+ times greater than the energy required to desalinate or wastewater recycle the same volume of water.
Definitely not all. Look into 401(k) self-directed brokerage accounts.
There was an opportunity to apply over a decade ago. The plan is to open another window for applications next year.
Unfortunately, I don’t think end-to-end encryption guarantees much when it comes to legal intercept in proprietary messaging apps. The intercept functionality could be done in the client and capture data, not just metadata.

It’s not false. The first quote is about asymmetric, and the latter is about symmetric.

What I’ve read suggests that vitamin d toxicity from sun exposure isn’t a thing because your body self regulates production.

Yes, the standard withholding methods produce poor results when pay does not arrive evenly through the whole year.

It is possible for employers to use alternative methods. IRS Pub. 15-T sec. 6 has details on common alternatives and constraints.

I have no idea to what extent employers support any of these alternative methods. I imagine it's limited to employers where much of their workforce is overwithheld using the standard methods. One example might be a school district where teachers are only paid when in session.

> withholding is set at a fixed rate at the beginning of the year

This is not correct. It's calculated per pay period. Please see IRS Publication 15 and 15-T.

No.

> DNS over HTTPS uses TCP-based http/2

DoH (ietf rfc 8484) recommends http/2 as a minimum, http/3 is a valid DoH transport.

> which is less efficient

What kind of efficiency are you referencing? This is not a clear cut issue.

> UDP-based QUIC (aka http/3)

The linked rfc uses only the quic transport, not http/3.

Do we have more protocols for dns than commonly used dns record types yet? There’s been quite a proliferation recently. :)

Re:Ask HN: Has TinyDNS' Site Been Subtly Hacked? on Thursday April 14, 2022 @02:44PM (#31031452)
The official tinydns site has always been at <https://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html>.

A third-party used to maintain some relevant content on tinydns.org. They let the domain lapse around 2017, and whatever is there now is trash.
