It has no fiber at all. No animal products contain any dietary fiber. Dietary fiber is by definition cellulose and other non-digestible starches found in plant material.

Saturated fats are not good actually. That's a lie funded by dairy industry.

And trail mix (with nuts and whole grains and fruit) is in fact healthy.

The overwhelming majority of Americans eat nowhere close to the bare minimum recommended amount of fiber. Guess which one has lots of fiber? And is also full of minerals not found in many other foods

Perfect example of a (part of a) security vulnerability being fixed in a commit that doesn't immediately seem security related and would never be back ported to a ~~stable~~stale distro

The code which parses the binary MaxMind database after decompression is well guarded as of 2024 but used to look different, potentially providing more attack surface. There is also an interesting commit where a contributor makes adjustments to the gzip::decompress() function which hints at a stack overflow, as the destination buffer was changed from static allocation on the stack to dynamic allocation on the heap, though it was not exploitable due to checks before it is written to

The problem is not the RSA math itself but that it is both extremely slow and implementing it is particularly susceptible to bugs and side channel attacks https://blog.trailofbits.com/2019/07/08/fuck-rsa/

It seems like the headline is deliberately written to be funny (I did get a good laugh out of it) and the actual event isn't quite as nottheoniony. My understanding is that the court faced the question of whether the lawsuit could proceed against the doctor individually, or against the insurance company. It's bizzare but rather unsurprising and understandable that the lawyers of a doctor faced with such a claim would try, even if it's likely to fail, to have it pushed via the insurance company.

The court made the right decision of course, but this just seems like business as usual for lawsuits.

Copying is not theft. Letting only massive and notoriously untransparent corporations control an emerging technology is.

Benzene is used to make a large portion of all chemicals in existence, as it is a basic building block of organic chemistry. That doesn't mean it's in the final product.

This is an asinine headline capitalizing on scientific illiteracy for clickbait. No different than complaining about dihydrogen monoxide in food.

I think there's a bit more to it than that.

It's very unfortunate that this came as a result of a baseless tantrum from Elon. And his arguments are contrary to free speech.

That said... GARM is actually bad, and the world is a better place without it in my opinion. They are frequently involved in censoring legitimate journalism of violent events, anything that's inappropriate from children, etc. You know how so many YouTubers have to carefully tiptoe around mention of controversial topics, even in non-controversial contexts, for fear of getting demonetized? I understand the POV of avoiding advertising near hate, but the fallout has real consequences when legitimate content is inevitably caught up.

Another way to see it is that GARM is simply a trade organization by advertisers for advertisers, with one single goal: to maximize profits for the advertising industry. No corporation actually cares about ethics; it's just that appearing to be ethical is often profitable, and in this case, advertisers believe that avoiding advertising near controversial content is better for their bottom line. If one believes that advertising is one of the most abusive industries in our modern society, it could be seen that anything to make it a little harder for advertisers to extract more profits is a win.

I won't shed a tear for the advertising industry
