jpk2f2··on Hackers found a way to open any of 3M hotel keycard locks
I had a similar situation at the apartment I used to rent. Unfortunately they didn't care to correct it, so I removed the battery from my lock and only used the physical key.

My fob copy still works there last I checked...

jpk2f2··on Ex-Google engineer charged with stealing trade secrets
Of course not. However there should certainly be a risk assessment with regards to citizens of foreign countries known to steal IP or otherwise perform hostile actions.
jpk2f2··on NYC-bound flight canceled when passenger notices missing bolts on plane wing
It can be minor but still cause a cancellation. It may be non-obvious to the immediate ground crew that it's trivial, and an abundance of caution is obviously ideal when it comes to flight safety.

Replace it immediately, not soon.

Swapped to Brave browser finally, it worked out of box to block YouTube adblock-blocker.
jpk2f2··on Viatris gets FDA nod for pupil dilation reversal agent
Interesting, my insurance covered it last year. However it was related to eye trauma rather than a regular vision visit, so perhaps that's why.
jpk2f2··on FTC sues Amazon for illegally maintaining monopoly power
You can easily use ebooks from anywhere on the Kindle. However, agreed on the DRM. Blindsided me when I tried to open some comics I had purchased on my computer (to read them in color). Luckily others have already made tools to remove that DRM...
jpk2f2··on Let's Build a FIPS-Validated Rust Crypto Library
Pretty sure it costs a lot more than that...
jpk2f2··on The story in pictures of the Hughes H-4 Hercules, 1945-1947
No, Evergreen Aviation Museum is an entirely different entity. You're thinking of Evergreen International Airlines.
jpk2f2··on Am I the Unethical One?
Typically the university itself handles consequences for cheating, plagiarism, etc. Repeated issues often leads to the student being expelled.
jpk2f2··on Am I the Unethical One?
Their hypothetical score is irrelevant, as they will be receiving a zero due to cheating. In your hypothetical scenario they are still cheating, in which case their improved score would also become a zero.
jpk2f2··on Am I the Unethical One?
It is at the universities whose policies I'm familiar with, yes. At both universities I have attended it was included in the policy alongside all the typical cheating and plagiarism rules.
jpk2f2··on Am I the Unethical One?
At the universities I'm familiar with, looking up and using previous exams (not provided by the teacher) is explicitly considered cheating.
jpk2f2··on Am I the Unethical One?
He did not sabotage them - the usual punishment is at minimum a zero on the relevant assignment/test/etc., and frequently extends to outright failing out of the class. Scoring worse on the test due to their cheating is irrelevant as it'll be reduced to a zero.

From an ethical point of view, he has done these students, the university, and the world at large a huge favor.

jpk2f2··on Significant breakthrough in search for Parkinson's biomarker
May help, but it's still only one (potential) cause of SIDS.

SIDS encompasses a wide variety of risk factors. For example, heart pathologies are another common cause of SIDS. Additionally, stomach sleeping and inadvertent suffocation are other common risk factors.

jpk2f2··on Arizona Fight over Half-Cent Sales Tax Threatens Semiconductor Expansion
Water supposedly isn't much of an issue after initial setup due to a high recycle rate. Trucking a shitload of water out initially should be a drop in the bucket as far as costs go.

Lucky, last time I had a nice steak dinner at an airport they would only give me a butter knife.
jpk2f2··on Future Fords could repossess themselves and drive away if you miss payments
Neighbor got scammed.
jpk2f2··on My Youtube earnings
They can be, and they're certainly more reliable than the variance of views, ad rev, and hoping your video doesn't get demonetized in some way.
jpk2f2··on Amazon is said to plan to lay off thousands of employees
Non-profits do layoffs too, unfortunately. In some ways it's almost worse as there's less padding before they're losing money.
jpk2f2··on Rethinking indoor air chemistry
Worked well for me as well in mildew-y car, still had a smell after replacing all carpet and cleaning every reachable surface. Ozone with air running for an hour resolved it nicely.
