  • Biden wants to free you from all those subscriptions you meant to cancel but didn’t

  • I think that should be allowed, but then just have like an outright charge on things like water and roads and education. I mean it's already kind of like that for rich people, but let poor and middle class 'opt out' of government provided stuff and just take stuff a la carte....I mean it would probably have to be more expensive for each thing, but overall let people decide what to chip in towards

  • No, sarcasm is really hard to do, I'm sure only humans can possibly understand the nuances of language like that.

  • is ADHD harder to manage with time?

    Jump

  • Yes, ADHD symptoms are only problematic when combined with time. If you are able to separate ADHD symptoms from time, they won't even occur.

  • Not OP, but usually you can tell if a cat is regularly let into a house, or at least you can tell if they aren't. If they look like they are clean enough to let into your house they're probably someone else's cat.

  • There is no way a US federal high speed rail would look anything nearly as successful as ones in europe or other highly populated locations. I think people fail to realize that for the most part the US is very sparsely populated. with the exception of maybe 2-3 'regions' that might look close to the population density and public transportation feasibility of Europe, there just wouldn't be enough people going between each individual point to make it profitable, even if subsidized. Imagine putting up 300 miles of high speed rail that cost many millions of dollars to build, millions of dollars a year to maintain, and thousands of dollars to run each round trip, and then finding out there are only a few dozen people that need to go between those particular terminals each hour. Trying to adjust by running less often just makes things worse because running less often means fewer people yet will find it convenient.....running more often makes it less profitable....so you end up like the US and basically don't bother making routes and stations without enough traffic.

  • Can someone demystify computer Ports for me? Please? Blocking, unblocking, opening, allowing, VPNs and their effect, what ports are and what they do, step by step, when you have to interact with them?

  • Maybe think of it like one of those big walls of post office mailboxes......behind the wall is your computer and an app might be waiting for a message at box 22 or box 45678. You could close all the boxes and nothing could get in, or you could open one or all of them and allow people to deliver messages to them.

    If you connect your computer directly to the internet, anyone who knows your IP address could say 'deliver message X to port 22 at ip address

    <your ip address>

    and the program watching that box would get the message.

    If you put a router in the mix, and multiple computers, the router has the same block of boxes, but if someone sends a message to one of the boxes it just sets there. If you set up 'forwarding', sending a message to your ip address gets the message to the router, but if you forward box 22 from your router to a specific computer on your network, then the router takes a message at box 22 on itself and 'forwards' it to box 22 on whatever computer you specific (using internal ip addresses).

    You could map box 22 on your router to any other box on your computer....like port 22 coming into your router might get sent to port 155 on your computer...this is useful if you don't want external people just exploring and lazily breaking into your computer using known vulnerabilities. Lots of ports are 'common', so an ftp hack on port 22 is easy, and might be 'slightly' harder if you tell your computer to actually look for ftp traffic on port 3333 or something.

  • What's the most interesting traditional or formal politeness behaviour or table manners in your culture? Or for any service personnel, in your restaurant?

    Jump

  • I think this is a little over-simplified. If there are only a few tables it likely happens, but with current staffing, even before covid, if a servers section is full there's no way they can watch for tiny signals from every table. Heck it's hard to even catch your servers attention in most restaurants during busy times between when they are taking orders and actually serving other tables.

  • Sub-protocol here....you can walk on the right but don't stand on the left. Kind of like the fast and slow lanes on the road.

  • Not really debatable, that's the actual rule. An before words that start with a vowel sound.

  • Because an precedes a word that starts with a vowel sound, not just because they start with a vowel letter
