Apply the ones in a star shape to distribute pressure evenly

That's hardly surprising

Not in this specific age group. Overall men are overrepresented, not by 90% but they are, but less so in younger people

While I guess that's true and it's often surprising that the AfD is polling that well in the younger cohorts let's not overstate their success. There are also a lot of people in that cohort very vehemently disagreeing with the AfD.

That is such a bullshit point. "The youth" doesn't want one homogeneous thing. The youth is just as diverse in opinions as other cohorts, maybe even more so. It is also more likely to be on more radikal Sides of the political spectrum.

Look Up NSO group for an example of an Israeli based company making their money with exploits. Their most famous product is Pegasus. It's a zero click remote trojan for iPhones and android devices. It's probably different from what was used here but I wouldn't be surprised if other technology in this sector comes from the same region.

Make sure it isn't just the Pomeranians. Some Pomeranians are definitely going to be in the mix.

Oh you can also just give a clear preference to other modes of transportation via traffic rules. Let's say there are traffic lights that only allow bikes to pass more often than they allow cars to pass that's pretty neat

You didn't though. You replied to me saying this:

What did Clinton do? You mean aside from keeping his mouth shut about being offered an underage girl?

In this specific case I agree, not reporting CSA should be illegal (and probably is?) I'm not so sure that we should codify the current ethical understanding into law though.

We need to leave room for development. Forcing new ideas to first go through the battle of legalization isn't helpful in this regard. Laws are there to regulate what normal social regulation can't do properly.

I think people who cheat on their partners are morally speaking bad people. But writing into law you can't have multiple partners at once is quite obviously a bad decision, because there are happy polyamourus relationships. The government doesn't need to get involved here, being treated like the ass that you are for cheating is punishment enough, and leaves the room for developing new ways of living together.

Bro the guy was literally "the leader of the free world" and said nothing about his friend selling children to child diddlers and you are going to come at me with a "but akchually WHICH LAW DID HE BREAK?!?!?!?". Go piss.

 

The context I came upon this question is dbus filedescriptor passing but the question is valid more broadly. Assume you are implementing some service that is supposed to receive some kind of filedescriptor for client processes. You get a message that is in some kind or another malformed but you have already received the filedescriptor.

What do you do with that fd? Is close()ing it guaranteed to be enough?

The question was sparked by a safety comment on rusts abstraction of a OwnedFd, which will run close() in its destructor and binds you by contract to only create it from a filedescriptor if close is all that is needed for cleanup.

This of course made me worry about the possibility of malicious clients sending special filedescriptors that accumulate some kind of ressource on the server process causing some kind of DOS.

I guess a secondary question is: Do you know any example where calling close() is not enough?
