So the NSA streams the memory contents of every virtual machine and bare metal server on the internet to get the decrypted traffic? How would that even work at the scale of the internet?

How it works is they build a huge virtual strawman which decrypts and reads all of the data for them then posts online about how NSA spying on people is literally impossible.

So the NSA streams the ram of every virtual machine and bare metal server on the internet to themselves so they can analyze the plain text that's being processed in ram and no one has noticed this network traffic? How could that even be possible? If I buy a 100Mbps network connection from someone, they just provision a bit more so that the NSA streaming doesn't impact or show up?

Why would they have to stream, and why would it have to be every server?

They could just do this to the specific servers they want, at specific times.

Just like wiretapping didn’t mean listening to every phone, and every conversation.

How does the interest rate of margin loans generate taxes? Just curious since I'm not sure there's any provision explicitly taxing margin income for banks and brokerages. Especially since some brokers will give you the prime rate plus a few basis points, I can't see how there's enough margin in that to cover an explicit tax on it.

So then the rich guy is an NYC resident and pays taxes there, that's a great outcome for the city.

Huh.

That's disappointing.

Assuming you pay via dealership financing that is likely true but many dealerships have a different price for a car if you are paying cash for it.

I think Firefox focus does that on android, I'm sure there's a way to get the same result on a desktop with some flags and pointing to a config file (or a read only profile folder maybe?)

AFAIK Firefox Focus doesn't have extensions at all:( Although yes, it effectively has only private/incognito sessions that are erased when you close the app.

Jair Bolsonaro is still alive at least according to mainstream media, do you have any links to where he was killed in an assassination?

Why is southeast Michigan difficult to drive in? I don't know anything about the area but I would guess if GPS navigation works and it's less dense than SF/LA, most of the major issues are solved?

Jetblue only flies narrow bodies across the Atlantic, I'm sure there are a number of others too.

A lot of them these days are things like Uvinul A Plus (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate) and Tinosorb S/P. They essentially act as UV filters similar to physical barriers. Many aren't available in the US, I believe due to FDA regulation of sunscreen but not totally sure why.

I stand fully corrected, and thanks for googlable names - that sounds interesting to look up and to update my memories.
