Funny how your mayer example is actually proprietary closed-source software. So being an open source project carried by a large community doesn't seem to be an actual drawback -- if at all, a Solarwinds-like attack is far more improbab

What a bad analogy, acting as if the extra security could only be an all-in.

The email simile someone else used here is pretty good: image the NYT would have gotten access to all emails stored and processed by gmail. That's a pretty invasive court order!

There are different levels of privacy. I can expect data I share with a company for a specific use case to not be public knowledge, yes.

It's not like we expect any newspaper in the world to get access to all of our emails, same with these chat logs: we should expect them to be private in this context.

Even before SEPA, we didn't use checks in the EU -- or at least in Germany -- because bank transfers were a thing and just worked.

What's implied in the previous comment is that reading a comment takes a few seconds, while listening to an album, or even really enjoying it, takes a higher investment. Or, to use a different metaphor, these comments are mentally nutr

>Perhaps you do not understand it, but many software engineers do understand. No, they do not. LLMs are by nature a black box problem solving system. This is not true about all the other machines we have, which may be difficult to unders

If that is true, Israel would now actually, literally be persuing the exact same politics Nazi Germany did until they escalated their attempted genocide by making it intolerable to genocide by industrial scale murder. Not a good look for

I have to wonder how you envision a small community building nucular when the state has already failed them. That's the real neat thing, that cooperations smaller than the entire territory of Puerto Rico can take action and help themse

It does read like a teenage anarchist (edit: sorry, anarcho-capitalist, which is worse by far) just discovered that medieval Europe was decentralized and spun a wild fanatasy about how that was actually anarchist around it, yes. >Was soc

It's mainly really, really bad history > Each lord had a veto power over the king and over each other law (I will use the term “lord” for those landed free men. Even the serfs could not be denied their right without adjudication.

Vlaada Chvatil games just tickle something for me. Space Alert is hugely fun, probably best due to the chaos and also the fact that at least we can see the inevitable failure that's coming together, and nobody is the lonely runt, but s

Imagine having to tell the economy it can only grow as fast as a specific rare metal is mined for money to continue to make sense. The gold standard was a system breaking up by its inherent contradictions, as another poster has phrased it,

Is it really that clear that Google has more power here? Whom would users blame if suddenly half their pages are falsely accused of being "untrusted"? Probably the browser, not LE, right?

It's not horribly unusual for a system that can be called democratic with every right to exclude those that have repeatedly stated, and shown in action, that they would not actually abide by any result that goes against them. It's

We could adapt the comparison and imagine Kodak realizing the digital business just enough to adapt a bit, but never shift their focus: Just enable digital photography to make the business case for any newcomer unviable, so they'll run

Oh, you can, generally, it's just not fine to poison the whole region's water supply doing it, which less rich countries care less about, and which makes it expensive.

The technical information on the cv/resume is, in my opinion, at most half of the process. And that's assuming that the person is honest, and already has the cv-only knowledge of exactly how much to overstate and brag about their

I'm not sure that is actually a bad thing. Being a competent employee and writing a professional-looking resume are two almost entirely distinct skill sets held together only by "professional-looking" being a rather costly ma

No, the whole process is revealed to be meaningless busywork. But that step has been taken for a long time, as soon as automated systems and barely qualified hacks were employed to filter applications. I mean, they're trying to solve

Overturning Chevron was specifically a giant step INTO techno-feudalism, since it means the oligarchs can only be reigned in if Congress, full of (at best generalist) career politicians, understand a technical or regulatory problem deeply e

Where do you find these low monthly cost options? Using Office is considerably more expensive than it ever was for a business, and the profit margins are huge. And if anyone could sustain an office suite until it runs profitably in these ci

"Making up your own rules" is literally what mathematics is, though. Using that as a counterargument to using a specific set of axioms tells me you don't understand mathematics.

"Just never develop software in a medium or large company" is a take, I'll give you that. I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of software developed is vastly more productive than Instagram, and tied to real world proc

What I don't understand is why you demand that C++ evolution be halted in a clearly suboptimal position so you don't need to change your processes. Just use the version of C++ that meets your needs, you clearly don't want nor

It's a post about getting your software recognized and used. For that, you actually need to get other people on board, yes. If you don't care about that, why are you even working in software development? It sounds tedious to just
