I've seen unlicensed and licensed work by licensed contractors kill people. Contractors aren't structural engineers and all of them will try to cheat you. Locksmiths in my area have a proclivity to drill locks because it's ch

Many of us is an overstatement. The jobs threads are always full of people making way less, have you not seen?

How are those links at all relevant? With experience in two licensed things -- HVAC and locksmithing -- I say the current red tape is red tape.

There's a great Milton Friedman test: if license requirements benefit consumers you would expect to see consumers at the statehouse demanding legislation. But this is not what you see in the modern day. It's true very instrumental

Most "skilled trades" are gated by some form of licensure, not actual difficulty.

That last point is a very good way to describe MOND. It seems quite compelling, tbh. A minimum force is in line with a maximum speed and minimum area. I'm aware the jury is out on it.

C# is great, but a lot of the supporting libs like Blazr are not.

There are definite tradeoffs. Hunter gatherers tend to be better nourished while in their prime but with no noticeable calorie surplus, while agrarian societies are the reverse. Any mix of the two I suspect bolsters bulk calories with forag

Have you actually read the law you're discussing? It was in the first amendment to the DMCA, because they realized they can't prevent people from accessing things they paid for. Full text of 1201 here: https://www.law.c

$500k is a lot of money but arguably not enough (for most things not strictly SaaS). So either the idea is small enough that it seems you don't need $500k and could probably bootstrap yourself or you're too big for YC and will nev

I'm not really sure I could launch a non-SaaS tech company on $500k, or rather, if I could, I could just not take their money and keep 7%.

The law allows people to circumvent copy protection to access works they are entitled to access. There is also a provision against sharing copy protection breaking methods. I never interpreted them as clashing, merely that I can't know

Nope, the law contradicts itself. In such a conflict it is typical to favor the consumer.

You're not allowed to circumvent for format shifting, but you are allowed to circumvent to access a work you have rights to. So these takedowns on GitHub should not be happening.

by R0b0t1 5y ago
You're allowed to circumvent if you own a license to the protected work. So, implementing or even cracking a DRM scheme is not enough to take it down.

They do these tests after, but they are expensive. The pre-screening before they reach this point is as above plus others I am sure I don't know about.

To offer some explanation in defense of this, though I can't cite it right now: There's two major tests for the efficacy of depression-treating drugs that I am aware of. One is a "willpower" test, which in one incarnatio

But does it really need to be anything more than lip service? Who wants to give away their own stuff or sacrifice their own children's chance at life so that some random person can live? Is it fair to expect everyone to be the Biblical

That is new to me as well. Previous analysis just based on matching input to output momentum showed that a ramjet wasn't as effective as claimed, but this is even worse.

This doesn't answer my question, sadly. From the article we see that two of the people that died knew they touched a bat. How many don't know they touched a bat?

Just waiting for your car to start working is strictly an improvement. Usually your engine or drive train suffers unforeseen failure and burns up.

Do you know how many people die not knowing that they were bitten?

Do you think the mechanical side of a car is any better? Stuff routinely fails in weird "unforeseen" ways.

If that's what you need it's possible to generate and issue keys from a centralized host just like with TLS. You can even set up login with SSH/TLS certs, which can be password protected.

A lot of machinery has been getting smaller. You can do GC/MS with a desktop device now.

Citation needed. You often get far better purity with lab scale synthesis, but the cost per mole is OOM higher.

Why does that matter? There's no way to ensure your employees aren't writing down their passwords. If you don't trust someone to follow procedure then don't employ them.
418.
by R0b0t1 5y ago
It depends what you mean by 2FA. Older definitions allow password protected keyfiles. If you mean active 2FA, you need a PAM plugin and usually a provider, but you can host your own. Look at e.g. Yubikey.

> Block AWS CIDR ranges? Since I don't log in from there, yes sure? And if I'm hosting on AWS I can proxy through an AWS resident host. Same with any other cloud provider.

Superficially this sounds good but if you don't trust the security of SSH you need to ask why you trust TLS any more.
