You can only guarantee the records have not been tampered with if you maintain a full copy of the records to compare. Even if you do have that full copy you will have a problem proving your copy is the correct one. A full crypto-verified ledger solves that.
If you empower e.g. every change filer (court, notary public) to run a node fudging records becomes effectively impossible.
Updates lag 4-6 months after filing, so not 100% solved.

They already are in most countries. E.g. in Poland land registry is maintained by court system and any changes are made only as a result of court order or a filing made by a notary public, who has a real incentive to check all the documents, because they are on the hook financially for any false filings.
Anything that requires a public, immutable database. Land registry would be one example. Notary public for electronic documents would be another.
You can leverage the majority consensus to create a trusted software build system. Each block would be a package build
Cooking at home was the default for us even when we lived downtown with eating out / delivery accounting for at most 2-3 meals per month, even when we’ve first met in our early 20s. 20 years later we live outside of the delivery area of everything and we grow most of what we eat.

100% true for the kind of cars you buy to drive.
Generally true, but sometimes you get lucky: I bought a fully loaded Camry in mid 2021, heavily discounted, because it was one of the last previous year model cars they had in the country and at 0% apr for the duration of the 3 year loan. This was right before shortages started and inflation skyrocketed. As a result its value on the used market stayed over what I paid for 3 years and even now it’s lost only about 10-15% of the purchase price.
It’s always effort vs risk.
Since it’s a do once and forget kind of thing I’d rate effort rather low.
As for risk in the worst case scenario a single service being compromised means all of them are with the attacker getting access to everything those services can access, including all the credentials. Will you make an effort to be on top of all the updates for all services?
As far as I’m concerned: At home all containers for each service get a separate user. At work every container does.
I wish all episodes were out all at once - I’d binge the hell out of it.
Retaliation will be purely using military drones against strictly military targets. Like hospitals or kindergartens.
Visually at first it’s going to be mostly weight loss. How much depends on how much caloric deficit you are running - rule of the thumb if you eat 500 kcal less than what you burn per day you will lose about a pound/0.5kg per week. Diet is 80% of success. Your muscle gains will be low while you are losing weight, but your existing muscles will become more visible.
You see yourself every day so it’s going to be hard to spot differences - compare monthly photos.
It’s worse than that. Situations where something causes no harm to literally anyone are few and far between. Even less often you have a full and clear picture of a situation. Usually it’s a choice between who gets hurt to what extent and based on what you know you just try to minimize the damage. You will get it wrong a lot.
Life is complicated and all we can do is to try our best and hope others will too.
I’ve built a 50m^2 (550 ft^2 ) greenhouse from polycarbonate I bought online and timber I bought from a local sawmill.
I’ve had no prior carpentry experience and neither my education or work experience (software engineering) was any help. The design and how to was a result of several weeks of evenings spent watching YouTube.
On the other hand the 5 step long staircase I’ve added to the porch because I was feeling cocky is so bad I’ll be fixing it the 4th time next weekend…
That I have to confirm access to all websites and services ran by my employer is blocked from there because of sanctions. I’m reminded of that every time we do a compliance check.
Search for Anti-Coercion Instrument, the one that came into effect in December 2023
EU regulations that can be triggered in response to tariffs include an option to make that completely legal
Edit because I’m getting asked for a source: EU Anti Coercion Instrument that got passed in 2021 and came into effect in December 2023: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=OJ%3AL_202302675
Specifically Annex I, paragraph 7:
ANNEX I
Union response measures pursuant to Article 8
[…]
- The imposition of restrictions on the protection of intellectual property rights or their commercial exploitation, in relation to rightholders that are nationals of the third country concerned, which may amount, as necessary, to the non-performance of applicable international obligations with respect to trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights.
This applies to copyright and patents, but not trademarks as far as I know.
Export tariffs are a thing and Canada could implement them on eggs to make sure US shortages and price hikes don’t spread to Canada. Would that push prices to 1.50 per egg? No, but it would stop Canadian egg exports from helping US pricing at the expense of Canadian pricing.
Am I missing something? Korean K2 Black Panther tanks Poland bought were supposed to be the most expensive tanks at $8.5M a piece. This deal is almost 40M euro per tank
