If we're going to compare it to WW2 where they were doing experiments on humans and running eugenics projects, I think we should acknowledge that this is fundamentally different than that. Someone who didn't read the intercept st

To be fair, there was only one doctor forcibly sterilizing women, and it appeared to be for personal profit rather than some eugenics directive from above. It's bad, but it's quite as bad as you're making it out to be.

Sure, they can, but they won't bother. The average American isn't going to download software on a PC. They have an iPhone or Android device as their primary computer. Banning the app stores is enough to get the manipulation of

I agree with you entirely, and I think that will be my plan. It could be a problem though if US society is back to "normal" with a "vaccine" that ends up rushed through some how, and I'm one of a few crazy holdouts

Do you happen to know how they patched it? I thought the idea was that it was bad encryption and once the license generation was broken, eShop couldn't tell if it was a real license or a fake one.

Does that actually work? I would think the invisible hand of the market would re-route all that pollution to areas without the tax and the earth wouldn't see that much difference. It's not like they're going to stop selling

Sure, most of it comes down to the administration putting unqualified people with poor financial incentives in positions of high power. There was this particularly transparent example by the Director of the CDC a couple of years ago, abou

What happens if I no longer trust our government to protect me from predatory business practices? I ask that, because I no longer trust the CDC after their series of recent scandals. Ironically, it's largely due to successful Russian

Oops, you are correct. I didn't think they'd be able to fix it. Thanks for the update, it's been a while :)

vmception knows his stuff and this is correct. Question: what do you think about the litecoin mimblewimble features that are supposed to happen later this year? Litecoin is already so widely integrated in the ecosystem that it should become

If you were to go a step further, the eShop actually trusts the client and you can download the entire 3ds library direct from Nintendo with the right hack. Google "freeshop" and read their FAQ if you're curious. I won&#x27

Very cool. I clicked a bunch of links from there and got to here: https://github.com/mikeperry-tor/vanguards/blob/master/READM... Good overview of threats.

This was really a delight to read. I wonder if the author was raised on 2600. Fantastic stuff. Also visited his page. Does not disappoint: https://mango.pdf.zone/

Sorry I missed your reply, but technically, yeah. Being remote when I switched jobs gave me an absolutely great negotiating posture. I didn't even have to leave the house, and it's not as if I was stepping away from my desk to m

Sure, Ohio is nice because it has no fees and no reporting requirements for $99. But why stop there when you can go to Arizona and get the same deal for $50. But seriously, if you want to cheat California, just leave and move to a more bus

I remember being in #billenium on openprojects (before it was called freenode) at the time. Really neat shared community experience.

I work for a big company you've heard of as a developer. I'm fully remote since pre-pandemic and plan to stay fully remote indefinitely. If you're a good developer with experience, it doesn't really matter where you are

Thanks to the government's complete mishandling of the pandemic, you can work at a lot of these big tech companies and live anywhere you'd like now.

You don't think wealthy professionals choosing to have 1 or 2 kids is a luxury? Saying FB employees need to have babies to keep society going makes as much sense as saying the family shih tzu is necessary as a guard dog. Sure, maybe t

Well of course we're all one consciousness experiencing itself. How else would you run the simulation?

I'll take the bait. I feel bad about maternity leave. You can choose to have a baby or not, and I don't see why you should get special treatment at work because of that decision. I understand meritocracy is an illusion at best, b

No, that's the distinction I'm trying to draw here. Lots of people, like you and me, routinely consume pirated content. It's not always torrents either, tons of unlicensed stuff shows up all the time on youtube. Do you val

I'm not claiming a right. I'm claiming an opportunity. Those bytes are just sitting there waiting for me to click download. I think the better question is: what are you going to do to stop me from downloading whatever I want?
