Do plastics go in the landfill too? Or is it somehow separated so that only stuff that decays in years rather than centuries goes there?

How will they enforce it? I’m sure big/medium businesses will comply, but how can you track a cash transaction between private citizens?

In the reporting I've seen there is a specific exception for private sales anyway. The example they give is that privately buying or selling a used car should remain possible.

I had to look up cashier's check and it does not sound familiar at all. But searching a bit further it is a thing that exists, seems to be called Bank Check around here, it's just kind of expensive to use.

It's much more usual to pay in cash or use an account transfer (SEPA transfer) which is usually free, but with the delay of the transfer one of the parties usually takes a risk.

This year, in relation to the rule the post is about, they also forced banks that were dragging their feet to start supporting instant transfers.

I don't ultimately know the answer to your question though. I suspect the banks have to ask you for the origin, as if you turned up with 10k in cash, but I couldn't find anything definitive in the time I was searching around.

I feel like I mostly got away with it without being evil thus far. I ended up working for a foundation and the team I'm in builds internet access (and layer 2 transport) for institutions of higher education. But maybe network engineering isn't really the typical outcome, most of my friends became developers.

That makes fuckall sense.

Windows 3.1 not being updated by Microsoft has nothing to do with Crowdstrike rolling out an update to their Falcon Sensor software including a file with 42kB of zeroes.

On Windows 3.1 you probably can't run Falcon Sensor, so in that way it could be related. But it seems way more likely that Southwest Airlines simply didn't use Falcon Sensor on their normal Windows 10 or whatever clients.

There are probably competitors to Crowdstrike, at least some companies would be customers to one of them.

They gave the 007 role to a black woman.

Eh, not really, they only faked it barely enough to get some headlines.

Not by itself, but if you wanted to put an LLM into a personal assistant, you could teach it specific codewords and have some agent software that integrates with the email client scan its outputs for the codewords and trigger actions when they appear instead of outputting them to the textbox. Conceivably that could be useful, if you wanted to give an LLM the power to react to "Open a new email to Kate and in formal tone accept her invitation to the party she mentioned in her message yesterday" appropriately.

Now I wouldn't want that, but I think there may be enough techbros who would, that it could exist.

In the middle of the download path of all the machines that got the update?
