I actually find the coin-style zero superior, like that shown in Hack font, as it avoids ambiguity with the Ø symbol.

Well, my understanding is that there's a submission then various teams are apprised and given x hours to complete, where x would obviously be greater than twenty-four, and not necessarily handled in one setting, such that there'd be a 'reveal' disclosing successful contestants. So it looks like I wasn't mistaken there.

But that still does not address the matter of rigging and whether Pwn2Own has clear rules against it. I don't know, which is why I asked.

Given enough time, we may find out. Does Pwn2Own have any stipulations against 'gaming' their events?

>among other government agencies.

That's my point. And I'm suggesting going a step further to non-domestic agencies.

Nowhere do I suggest the point in the article is false. I merely suggest it is closer to cherrypicking as others are obviously neglected. Does the FBI come to mind at all, for instance?

I didn't justify the NSA nor 'dismiss', I said everyone does it, so singling them out in particular is dishonest.

Furthermore, it is their mandate to do what they do; ask yourself: which agencies exist that have attempted to extend beyond the scope of theirs?

This is a serious concern, esp. in diplomatic relations.

Relatively undergeneralized as the entirety of the internet's traffic is collected by various agencies, and singling out the NSA seems rather hamfisted.

Clearly not accurate. For one thing, there are many kinds of meditation, so the assessment that meditation (as a whole) is demotivating is overgeneralizing. Secondly, as further revealed by the study itself, motivation isn't a factor for successful task completion, so there may be something about self-attributed motivation that is superfluous to task completion (i.e., meditators become disabused of that and merely handle the task at hand).

Night owl here. Didn't need this study to tell me what I already know. That is all.

Perhaps truer words were never spoken...

Given that the etiology of Alzheimer's is tied to the very same proteins that must be cleared out during sleep, and that the requirements of sleep decrease with age, there seems to be a cyclical feedback loop at play here, insofar as healthy aging does not typically difficulties with R&R. (This example becomes more salient in the case of supergenarians who can rest and let little stress them a great deal.) Compound that with a likely immunodeficient response during sleep (where the brain is supposed to become more spongy) for these proteins to be cleared out and a poorly functioning blood-brain barrier, it would seem finding treatments that focus on these self-restorative responses would be most beneficial. Whereas treatments that temporarily boost processing capabilities will only somewhat delay the onset clearly shows that this is most likely the case.

I wonder what study on general EEG signatures may reveal with respect to the efficiency with which the cleanup process can be facilitated thereby. Perhaps meditative practices could be demonstrated as a form of protein-cache clearing even when in a waking, albeit altered, state of consciousness.

Obviously not. And the exceptional cases like those where the SSD can be swapped out for larger-than-stock SSD's make the point of connectivity pretty moot. And how hard is it to get connectivity nowadays?

This is a fair description. Google would never exempt itself from info gathering. It's their platform, after all.

Irrelevant since both played no role in sharing a fraction of the misinformation output by Mockingbirds.

He's not called "Cyrus the Virus" for nothing. (Take that as good or bad depending on which side of the fence you stand.)

It is a mistake and perhaps Pollyanna-ish to believe a governmental entity has not and cannot exert control over a blockchain ledger system of any kind either by means of protocol or other methods. In any case, I find it highly unlikely blockchains will not be implemented by various governmental agencies. As a store of auditable data, they would certainly be more trustworthy than some papers filed away somewhere or in some given database.

Facebook is a monolithic threat by inducing the world into accepting the relinquishment of privacy for convenience. The abiding thought that all should remember is it is a marketing (ad) platform. Furthermore, given it limits social outreach to 5000 "friends" (with no such limits on "follows", which still prove difficult to utilize), it is assuredly not intended to facilitate social outreach.

Right. Quick accessibility with a keyboard shortcut and partial name typing is the way to go. The trick is ensuring you have the right name (so a slight learning curve).

That is not a reasonable defense. He literally defends it and declares he is proud of it. Do you not understand that?

Must be shock to the very "liberal" sentiments here, so I will provide it thru a liberal source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=xPmKmfULrGI

I will repeat it for the umpteenth time: George Soros is funding Antifa, BLM, neo-Nazis, the refugee crisis in EU, and is a known Nazi collaborator who has been declared a threat by his country Hungary and Israel. He is not an idol.

The irony behind Soros' involvement is he was a (proud) Nazi collaborator who confiscated Jewish property. Just sweatens the message's delivery, doesn't it?

Pizzagate is a distraction manufactured by the the mainstream media. Hardly surprising someone with your false and dismissive opinion would bring it up. How is this obvious? Because the media focused on one pizza joint when there are extensive documented cases of pedophilia and child sex trafficking taking place. Heard of Haiti and the Clinton Foundation? Get informed.

Sure, if you like living in a nanny-police state. A lot more than the 1st amendment is under threat for the grossly staged violence perpetrated upon American society in recent days.

Google hasn't hidden its liberal, pro-Hillary ties at least since her Presidential campaign. Can anyone say Eric "he who will not be named" Schmidt without getting suicided these days? Time will tell who answers for this.

Google engaged in blacklisting people for something as vague as "hate crime" (when not crimes) is as Orwellian as it gets. Then again, as long as Antifa, BLM, KKK, Neo-Nazi, etc. persons convicted of real crimes are fairly and equally represented, perhaps we'll see real movement to shut this nonsense down.

Just an FYI: Bayer is not an American company. They're also coordinating a buyout of Monsanto.

Stop eating anything grown in the US or under the domain of corporate farming, anything grown with chemical (Monsanto/Bayer) pesticides, and look for as much communally, organic grown food as you can. Why has IBS exploded in recent decades? Miracle grow for cancer is literally being added to the food supply.

TL;DR: Intel is going down and AMD is going up.

Lots of comments condemning Trump's condemnation of (the Nazi collaborator) Soros funded Antifa & BLM and white supremacists. I wonder who is responsible for the curiously pseudo-liberal turn in the comments here.

Anyway, Merk, Intel, and so on exemplify all that is wrong with the fringe in politics that seeks to use violence as a means to an end. Anyone with any sense can see this for what it is, however, and no one is buying the mainstream narrative - the MSM and these corporate fascists are only painting a larger target on themselves.

> committing crimes

No laws have been broken by Trump. Hillary Clinton & co. on the other hand have broken _many_ at an egregious level. Lynch and Mueller should similarly be under investigation for covering up crimes as well.
