Germany is 4% of America in size. A single US state with decent population density wouldn't need a nationalized system either. The USPS gets a monopoly because it is required to go everywhere. If a private company doesn't want to

You are generally guarding against the device being shutdown. Anything assuming the OS is running is already into "well that is easy" territory since if the OS is running those keys are in the same place as this attack leverages.

"Ignoring tax consequences" when talking about government funding? That makes your entire response worthless.

You need to only have the ability to execute code after the hibernation not before and the machine needs to be permanently unavailable to the user after. As I said quite rare situations. If you can read this kind of data you have the abilit

You need to get quite specific on actual attacks to call this insecure to be clear. Having access to the raw RAM of a machine suspended but demanding the key to resume is certainly possible but the number of attacks where you don't nee

What capital gains? The governments balance sheet doesn't matter... Think of it like the original Bitcoin wallet, its value is $0 because none of those will ever be sold. If dividends are involved it could matter but the government bas

> These should never be sold and then taken away with no compensation like this. I don't think it is reasonable to bundle those ideas together. Companies renegading on their promise of perpetual access is not the same thing as a rig

Unfortunately the group that has the most control doesn't care. The majority of anything around DMCA is likely legitimate complaints so dealing with it is weird, since making it more painful for content producers to protect themselves

> Sometimes, hardware is cheaper than human coordination. A t3.small on AWS costs $182.21 a year before any discounts and has 2 CPUs and 2 GB of RAM. So the computer to run the example at the start costs 3 hours of Engineering time. This

It goes the other way too, sometimes you trigger some optimization silliness in the driver and the game needs to adapt to avoid it.

My bad I meant original example. I agree the "you agreed to auto renewal" silliness happens everywhere. Likely the difference is court costs.

That can happen in the US too... When you agree to a contract you are bound to the terms of it. Why do you think it is so common to hear horror stories about gym memberships? But in your example no one agreed to the contract which means no

In the US these kinds of scam fail to be legal on the basis of contract law which is way more nuanced than "can't do this"... I am not talking about common sense I am talking about things like informed consent and considerati

Honestly I am surprised that tackling a method of easily collecting approval votes hasn't been done yet. Like even in the abstract "here is what a voting sheet would look like" that isn't meaningfully more complex. To be

A government that cannot commit violence is toothless. How do you enforce court rulings? We shouldn't be ignorant of how the violence is committed and restrictions should be numerous and enforced for sure. But presuming a meaningful go

Government has control by virtue of existing. If you say government control is bad in general you are just saying there shouldn't be government. This is impossible as the things the government does will happen it would just be under a

I agree and that was my criticism specifically. Don't say "government involvement is bad" specify what exactly you mean.

by Guvante 4mo ago
Your analysis presumes that the government is controlled by a single group which hasn't historically been the case. This weird hyper politicization is young in terms of the US. And again you don't acknowledge that "government

Are they actually legal? Generally those kind of scams setup an illegitimate transaction that would be reversed in a court case. Whether they rise to a criminal matter is complicated but the vast majority of such scams hold up to scrutiny a

On the one hand giving parties more power sounds a little gross. On the other hand I don't know a solve for every bill having less than a handful of votes that are bipartisan...

A lot of things are easier at the federal level. After all the federal budget is so large because you can swap states but you can't get away from the IRS.

The left has been complaining about the executive branch over reach for quite a long time. Hell as much as the drone strikes get simplified down to "Obama killed people without trials" the main complaint at the time was that he wa

Reductionist "if only the government didn't get involved" doesn't work unless you presume no government is beneficial (it is not since you just recreate all the bad parts of government anyway) You can be critical of the

Tabs are not used consistently for nesting so your argument is missing some nuance. E.g. foo(//long function call\n\t//more parameters)

It isn't technically a scam to offer a limited trial and bill when you go over as long as the terms mention that. After all B2B transactions are often invoice based.

Did you just not read the rest? I was quite clear you are presupposing it is better without actually justifying that. "Some standard is better than no standard" isn't generally true, it has some requirements.

by Guvante 4mo ago
That is only true of semantically equivalent things. Tabs vs spaces don't matter they are equivalent. But consistency is only better when it is an improvement. It is fundamentally important that convential commit is better for adopting

Why undoubtedly? In what context does wasting your first characters on fix vs feat matter? PRs are going to have an explanation that has way more detail than necessary to figure that out quickly. One lines tend to be (for me) in a situation

I mean so it is identical to how I already do this... If I am pushing a PR with a working combination and rebasing after upstream merges how is jj changing the flow?

But that means you haven't actually done anything with the PR, it is a hypothetical thing. Hopefully you have perfect CI coverage since you didn't bother to compile your PR even.
