When the police are trained and accustomed to believe that abuses of power are legitimate behavior, why would they change that behavior with body cams? Regardless, the benefits of body cams go far beyond deterrent. They provide the population with the ability to produce evidence of police abuse and effect institutional change long term via legal action.

This is music to the waste disposal industries ears.

My wifes parents are like this. Their house is filled, to the brim, with so much stuff. They have a few storage units full of stuff.

It will be an interesting problem for my wife and her siblings when the inevitable occurs.

TL;DR: clear winner in multithread productivity, intel better in single-thread productivity, around Ryzen 1800X in gaming (in game mode, which tries to pin threads to one die at a time and disables SMT), great TDP (stays under 180w at full load), has some teething issues with the NUMA nature of two-dies, but is overall a great processor.

ELI5 Kerberos:

When you go to an arcade or carnival, there are many people playing many games and it can be hard to make sure everyone gets to play how much they paid. So you get a ticket from the ticket booth, take it to the game you want to play, put it in, and play! If you don't pay, you won't get a ticket. Without a ticket, you can't play. So even though the games don't use money directly, they know that your ticket means you paid. Other kids can't steal your tickets because when you buy them, the ticket guy prints your fingerprint on each one!

Sometimes, adults like to make work into games too. So they make tickets for using their computers and they get those tickets at the Kerberos booth.

It would be funny if someone creates a cryptocurrency by forking Sawtooth or Fabric.
