There’s tons of costs associated with coal, oil, and natural gas extraction, processing, and use, which are neither priced into up front costs nor the price that customers pay for the product. If those were priced in, then fossil fuels would have to become more expensive. Those costs currently get diffused into various other areas and paid for by a wide net of payers, including both the customers and non-customers, and a big one is the government (taxpayer).
We’re attempting to degrade the capability of Israel’s primary regional opponent so that Israel can continue and accelerate its ethnic cleansing and land annexations in both the Palestinian territories it administers, and in the neighboring states of Lebanon and Syria. That’s what we’re doing.
(not really, it was more from how French, Belgians and Germans treated the African population they occupied) (not a fan of the US but I have to defend them here)
The F, B and Germans might have killed millions in Africa, but the American conquest of the West was different.
American built cities and killed the natives and started farms and introduced cattle and crops, while the Europeans mostly kept to a few strategic towns and cities and did neither.
Hitler was a big fan of American stories, just like Stalin loved westerns.
I'm just talking about the tactics the Nazis use and the work camps. Huge inspiration from Belgian Congo, Madagascar "tache d'huile" tactics and the German Mozambican work camps into genocide around WW1.
Concentration camps were not a new invention that only appeared w/ the Belgian Congo etc.
Mining operations for example in the Roman times were hardly any different, thousands if not more died in equally horrible conditions. The construction of the buildings and the mechanim may have changed but the results were the same.
No women and no children worked in salt mines. Salt mines were often temporary punishment or permanent punishment akin to a death sentence for slaves and captured enemies. The way Belgian/German concentration camps were managed in Africa was new. And paved the way to Hitler.
And I don't want to poorly paraphrase Aimé Cesaire, so I'm taking a translated quote: 'What he cannot forgive Hitler for is not crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the coolies of India, and the blacks of Africa.'
Reading that it sounds like nothing is changing in terms of US military access to Greenland, and they’re essentially just reaffirming the existing agreement which provided broad and permanent US and NATO access to Greenland.
I think interacting with Trump is like interacting with a dementia patient who also is a malignant narcissistic and pathological liar, so I imagine Danish and US staffers had to find a way to frame the agreement to him that made it sound like he had gained something major, in order to get him to shut up about the issue and stop obsessing over his conquest ideas.
I don’t agree. On an encrypted volume all space unallocated by the filesystem should have random data in it and should be indistinguishable from the portion representing in-use filesystem data. Deleting data securely involves overwriting all the previously allocated filesystem blocks with random data. No one should be able to discern that now-empty space had data in it as of some specific recent datetime.
There may be more OS design decisions you have to make to cleanly wipe all references to particular app or process names but to me it all seems doable.

If it was like a HDD maybe that could work, but most modern solid state storage doesn't work like that any more.
You can't reliably overwrite any data, because the default is to write any new data in an empty sector (sort of, it has to do with how flash storage works, because of "wear leveling"), which is managed at the hardware level of the storage itself, so you also can't really tell the OS to do something else.
A random website breach can't disclose your password either, assuming you use random high-entropy passwords and the website only stores a hash of it. I haven't really seen the benefit to passkeys over passwords. Pretty much everyone is using a password management service that securely syncs both passwords and passkeys across devices. In that context I don't see the difference.
> Pretty much everyone is using a password management service
In the US, only about 34 to 36% of adults use a password manager. Of the ~64% that don't, an alarming 20% reuse the same password across almost every service, and a ton just rely on browser autofill.
If you use a password manager, you are in the minority. Hell, even if you don't use a PW manager and you at least use a different password for different services, you are ahead of most people.
The general population is largely computer illiterate, and have a staggering lack of basic security hygiene.
If the fees are raised, individuals will be less willing to pay out of their own pocket. Even if they aren't raised people are less willing to pay out of pocket compared to an NGO or journalism org that had revenue and budget allotments specifically for that purpose. Assuming NGOs will also not be allowed to directly pay for request fees made by their members/collaborators.
