That well is probably AI, though.

Best wishes! I hope it works out. If I was the employer and you were a good worker, I’d want to retain you rather than lose you forever and then spend the time looking for a new hire and training them.

This sounds like OP has a full time position somewhere and is thinking of quitting to go work as a contractor. My guess is that they’re unemployed after 2 months and would need to find a new job.

My general feeling on this is that it’s fine if they understand the difference. I don’t know of they’re in the US or elsewhere, but in the US the taxes on 1199 contractors are pretty high and there are no benefits. This can heavily change the calculus.

I would see if my current employer would allow me to take a 2 month leave of absence and then come back.

I found out at a previous position that the best way to get my work done was to be short with people. In that case they wouldn’t bother me, and I had more time to do my work.

DES is symmetric key cryptography. It doesn’t rely on the difficulty of factorizing large semi-primes. It did use a 56-bit key, though.

Public key cryptography (DSA, RSA, Elliptic Curve) does rely on these things and yes it’s a 4096-bit key these days (up from 1024 in the older days).

Came here to say this. Western European accents are fun, quirky things. Accents from what our President would call “shithole countries” do not get the same respect.

I don’t know if I’m hardcore or not, but I’ve never had a Reddit account.

Not great, Bob!

Aspirin is a different drug than paracetamol/acetaminophen.

I’ve been a fan of Rammstein for many years. I know the gist of what each song means and know a few words of German. But I can’t translate word for word.

A federation of absolute dictatorships. Some are more enlightened than others but if an instance bans you there is no independent appeal process.

We’re talking about “I am a prominent member of an organization designated by the US as a terrorist organization.”

Either way I misunderstood OP’s question and my post wasn’t on-topic.

This is a very good point. I misunderstood the post.

Yes. If you’re a rando, sorry you’re just not that interesting.

If you’re someone the US considers an actual threat, then yeah don’t buy anything from the US (use a 3rd party). But if you’re that big of a threat you already know that.

What is expected is that you are kind to your date and spend your time getting to know each other.

It would depend on the context. If I saw it on PornHub, I’d assume something related to porn. If I saw it in a flyer from the local Parks & Rec department, I’d think it was a standard children’s playground, but for adults.

Simply by itself, I’d default to the park thing.

I don’t believe so, but don’t quote me on that.

Good show but I have seen the same show 4 or 5 times.

Elvis Costello but I’ve only seen him twice. I like CAKE a lot too and have seen them 4 or 5 times.

Same.
