Saying that this is a sum function on an Excel spreadsheet is a VAST oversimplification of this study. Stating that they did not take variables and parameters into account means that you did not read the study you linked. This may very well be a poor study, but not for the reasons you stated.
Often you can get by just starting a PowerPoint presentation, alt tab away, and let it run in the background. It’ll keep the computer from locking and you don’t need to install anything that might look suspicious.

Around one in six voters say that a guilty verdict in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial will make them less likely to vote for him, according to a new poll.
Only 1 in 6 voters would change their mind about a convicted fraudster becoming the most powerful person in the country? And only after ANOTHER guilty verdict?
I want to put the steak onto a hot pan to get that sear on the outside and uh lock in the flavor or something. But butter burns at high heats and oil doesn’t add flavor like butter....
Gustavo Tosta - aka Guga Foods - has a channel on YouTube where he does a lot of experiments with cooking steaks. Some of them are crazy $1,000+ steak recipes. Some of them are literal dollar store steaks cooked in a pan. They don’t always work out, but if you REALLY want to know how things change when you cook steaks in different ways, this is a really fun resource to follow.

$1,000,000 depending on context, isn’t enough to comfortably live on forever. Especially if you’re talking about net worth, and not available cash.
Even if it was cash, invested properly, you could expect to have $30,000 annually safely, which is basically minimum wage or less in many cities.
It’s life changing money for sure, but I don’t think you could say that being a millionaire means you’re wealthy, it just means that you have a lot of freedom in life choices.

Read the article again. Japan has a slower economic growth than the world average.
This is from a number of factors, including that they are a highly developed economy with less head room, BUT also because the workforce is aging out. They have fewer young people.
They have a declining population, and the median age is much older than most countries. This is absolutely a major reason for their lack of economic growth.

When do you test though, the drugs are out of their system by the event date. They can use it for years leading up to the competition to build up their performance, and then taper off long before and still have an advantage.
Yeah, probably not an NDA, more like a complicated contact where he agrees not to disclose certain things. Well, maybe not a contact specifically, just an agreement. To not disclose… You know…
Fixed: One artists rendition of the way a neanderthal woman may have looked based on some research and measurements from a partially destroyed, but reconstructed skull… for a Netflix edutainment show.
It’s cool stuff, BUT it’s still an artists rendition. It’s not fact.
Edutainment science is great, but when they pretend “This is what she looked like”, it’s bullshit. Then when someone comes back later and says “No, THIS is what she looked like” people get all confused and think science is dumb.
When you see interviews with the best science communicators, they always phrase it like “We used the best models we have, and we are confident that this is an accurate representation based on our current information” THAT would be a great sub-headline.
I just hate it when the news gets watered down to show an artists representation, no matter how good, as fact instead of probability.

A ton of these requirements are due to regulatory requirements for securing access to accounts at the state and/or federal level.
Requirements are then interpreted by each financial institution and implemented by different teams. It’s most likely due to the fact that a desktop is assumed to be more likely to be a shared device, while a phone/tablet is most likely to be a personal device, which is password/bio-metrics protected.
As for security around a browser: if you look at how phishing/hacking attacks happen on a desktop computer, if you can be tricked into launching an virus, it can copy all of your browser cookies and login sessions to the attacker, then they can duplicate your browser session. If you have an unlimited login for a financial institution, then they now have a logged in session for your bank.
So if you add up all that, then they’re more likely to allow long term login sessions on an application that they control than on a desktop/web browser that they don’t.

I can see someone who is in a very sensitive situation, like trying to escape domestic abuse, or starting a protest, might want the anonymity but still need the communication.
