What definition of standard of living do you have in mind? I know of several and Japan doesn't lead in all of them. What's even more important is that even the definitions where Japan leads it doesn't do so by as big of a mar

It is random chance, plus a little genetics. Looking at the top 43 oldest people alive [1] I can see that 20 of them are from Japan. That's almost 50%! While not conclusive proof, I think it at the very least heavily suggests that li

I do know that people keep dieing. I haven't seen anyone surprised about this though. Is that really a thing that happens often enough that you need to call a stop to it?

The TypeScript team has a goal of keeping it a superset of JavaScript. This means that when JavaScript gets some new features, TypeScript also supports that. If TypeScript supported it before with some other syntax, the syntax gets changed.

Definitely interesting. Regarding the human eye, it varies greatly from person to person how well they see. However it's not even only about the eye itself, but also how well suited & trained [1] your brain is to interpreting the s

Lack of internet seems like an overly pessimistic view. We have a connection with Mars already, streaming high quality media and other data back to us. Having actual people on Mars would only increase the demand for better internet connecti

The classic way, people upvoted it. The 8 points it has is a relatively high number of upvotes for 1 hour. It also helps that it's on a domain that doesn't get a penalty.

I've never moved the goalpost, your interpretation may have changed though. Regarding accountability I'm talking about any tool which contains all those features [1] packaged together in high concentration. So NanoCore, Sub7, Zeus

Can you name any company with 1000 employees or more that has used NeonCore? Or are you talking about other tools? That's really the crux of the situation, the packaging & intent - not the individual features in vacuum. I've s

Also? I haven't been a proponent of any raids. I'm not even sure if in-the-mail charges are in order for creating these trojans without using them offensively. I'm talking about the intent and purpose of the application, not

What a peculiar thing to argue, but in the same spirit most nukes haven't killed a single person. The ones that did had really good delivery mechanisms, which don't come prepackaged with the nuke.

Looking at Stuxnet [1] the distance between those two is less than most think, and the distance is only decreasing. More important is the takeaway that it's getting easier and easier for a misguided teenager to cause industrial scale h

Intent matters. Roads aren't built with the intent of facilitating crime. A firearm is a better comparsion, because it's built with the intent to kill. Indeed this is the defense route that many are choosing here for this app. How

It varies by manufacturer/model. Some have a hardware/firmware only solution that can't really be turned off from the OS. Other times it's controlled by the driver. Often there isn't an API for controlling it, but y

You say that the tool has obvious non-infringing use and the article claims that security experts who have examined NanoCore say there’s nothing in the code to disprove Huddleston’s claim that he intended it for lawful use . I looked at

Yeah, everything about that seemed pre-recorded, especially considering how calm everyone in the background was. Understandable though considering how busy Elon is.

Is this a hidden plan? The cheapest unlimited plan I see right now on their website is 54€/month, which is the advanced business plan for 3 users. Even if I take the annual plan and divide the price by 12 it's 45€/month. Also

Estonia may be a decent example here. Not every tax is low, but corporate income tax is 0% and personal income tax is a flat 20%. However lots of infrastructure upgrades have been done with EU money. So the tax is still there, just not bein
