Haha that last part is pretty wild. rather than worrying about systemic problems in the entire internet let's just make mandates crippling devices that China, where all these devices are made, will defffinitely 100% listen to. Sure, seems reasonable. Systems that rely on the goodwill of the entire world to function are generally pretty robust, after all.
- saagarjha 1y agoIf they don’t then the devices are not sold in the United States. It’s quite simple.
- dylan604 1y agoGreat to know that smuggling hardware into the US has been completely stopped.
- morsch 1y agoIf the analysis above is accurate, a few smuggled devices would not be an issue, as long as the zillions of devices sold at Walmart are compliant.
- idiotsecant 1y agoCongratulations on the creation of a thriving new black market in which the main beneficiary is organized crime! What could go wrong?
- saagarjha 1y agoDo you take issue with the concept of laws or are you just being annoying?
- idiotsecant 1y agoI'm sorry that you find thinking about second order dynamics annoying, but that's what you have to do if you actually want effective laws. Just making laws doesn't magically fix problems. In many cases it just makes much more exciting problems.
- saagarjha 1y agoI'm annoyed because you didn't actually come up with an interesting response. Yes, when you make laws people can break them. But you need to explain why there is an incentive to break them, and whether it will happen to the extent that it will actually be a problem to enforce. Personally, I don't see people scrambling to get DDoS attack vectors in their house by any means necessary.
