Voluntary unions do not have a free rider problem. That is only the case if you legally require collective bargaining to apply to non-union members (as is the case in the US). For instance, in Germany [1] collective bargaining agreements ar

A key problem in the US is that in a unionized job you are legally required to be represented by the union. Union membership is non-voluntary. If you think you are part of that top percentage or even if you think that the union is not rep

What a inane comment. They gave you a link that literally spoonfeeds the data and you complain because you can not be bothered to read until what is literally the second sentence in the article before accusing them of making statements in b

What are you talking about? Injury rate at Starbase (Brownsville) was 6x higher than industry average in 2022 [1]. Furthermore, you have gotten the burden of proof backwards. The default presumption is non-safety. The burden of proof is on

Yes, you clearly do not understand how percentages work given that you continue to argue that the difference between 30x and 100x is just "2%". You are correct that there were Space Shuttle missions to the vicinity of the ISS unti

They do, it is a draft [1]. There are other design flaws that also limit data path performance (ignoring encryption) to probably something on the order of just 30-50 Gbps/core though I would not be too surprised if you could get ~100 G

No it did not. Nobody launched their commercial satellites on Space Shuttles. Soyuz, Atlas, Proton, Delta, Long March, Ariane; those are commercial launch vehicles. Even considering crewed missions we can look to ISS crew missions which wer

I am baffled you can even get to six figure LoC implementing QUIC. Having done the majority of a QUIC implementation before deciding I needed to design a new protocol that fixes QUIC's performance limitations, a minimal, but fully func

Why are you deceptively bringing up the Space Shuttle? That was never intended to be a serious cost-effective launch vehicle. Also, why are you deceptively talking about 97% and 99% like the difference between 30x and 100x is not a factor o

I mean, you would think that all those people he killed as the person in charge of deploying knowingly dangerously defective self-driving software for profit would have had a impact. But executives seem to just skate on killing customers to

A order of magnitude is a factor of 10x. Multiple orders of magnitude is at least 100x. SpaceX Falcon 9 has a launch cost of 74 M$ with a payload to LEO of 22,800 kg for a launch cost of ~3,200 $/kg to LEO. So you are incorrectly claim

Your communication channel between Alice and Bob is, itself, a capability (or a collection of capabilitys) that grants Bob memory write, Alice memory read, but does not grant the ability to transmit a capability from Bob to Alice. Absent a

Sure, but that is not related to anything I said. I said that “protects against state actors” means the cost of finding a exploit as generally applicable and powerful as a zero-click RCE needs to cost on the order of hundreds of millions

Nah, Elon Musk faked the demo [1] so he could defraud Tesla investors into bailing out his cousins. [1] https://mansionengineer.com/2018/08/10/elon-musk-tesla-and-t...

Deadly diseases losing their deadliness over time is possible, but hardly guaranteed even at the species/population level. Rabies has effectively a 100% fatality rate in host species. Smallpox, which is human-specific with no animal re

That is a total strawman. The standard of “effective” being used by the person I was responding to and Apple themselves is “protects against state actors targeting you”, not “has any benefit whatsoever” or even “has a material benefit”. Pro

Again, no. You do not need to spend 10 million on a exploit if you are working with a company like NSO Group who sells white-glove access to target individual as a service. The cost lower bound is going to be on the order of ((cost of explo

I am absolutely baffled by your response. I was pointing out how even Apple, a entity who by all rights should have top-notch security, is still absolutely hopeless in the face of commonplace commercial, profit-motivated attackers. Massive,

1 Gb/s is only ~100,000 packets/s at standard MTU. You literally get 10 us/packet which is a eternity. Normal fast-path router operation only really needs to consider the header of <100 bytes/packet, so you are gettin

That is actually unfair. Most companys spend enormous amounts on security with vast armys of security employees. Not that it is effective, but it is not for lack of resources or trying. I mean we are literally in a thread about how the 4 tr

I made only a claim that there is no evidence that Apple provided encryption is secure, based on the absence of evidence for it. That's a negative claim. Pointing out a standard argument is fallacious is a meaningful contribution. You

We had secure cybersecurity? When? I mean, there is some in the high assurance space, but that has never trickled into the broader consumer sphere. Are you referencing those systems? I am unaware of anything else.

Ah yes, you are arguing that you should continue to use vendor provided encryption because, by your own admission that you are making no positive claims, there is no positive evidence of its security or fitness for purpose. > the fact th

That is not how the burden of proof works. You have the burden to demonstrate your extraordinary claim of security adequate to stop the NSA, a claim that flies in the face of the overwhelming prevailing trend of insecurity both in the indus
