Describe three hypotheticals to me of what you think will happen in the following circumstances: * Kid who is told "no" by his parents * Kid who is told "yes" by his parents * Kid who "can't" sign up for s

I don't think it will ever disappear, but it certainly plays a less outsized role now than it used to, and it's not exactly an industry I see huge growth in. What we define as "social media" I think is important. I don&#

Okay, so explain this to your child, just like you tell them they shouldn't do drugs. Are there not people who are sober by choice? The only thing preventing you from going and smoking crack right now is most certainly not because it&#

I think you are massively overstating how important it is to the kids that they have a social media account. How can it hold that kids would be ignored in real life because they don't interact virtually?

Demanding a law because you are unable to tell your kids "no" makes you the bigger fool.

"Because I'm your parent, and I said no." Do you buy your kids a toy every time you go to the store? Do you feed them candy for dinner?

by arcfour 11mo ago
You're right, kids in the 2000s actually wanted to use social media. It's a dying industry—appropriate timing for a government to make a law to save kids from the evils of it.

...and this needs to be solved with a law? Kids feeling left out over something well and truly inconsequentual?

As a parent, you should be able to parent your child, rather than having the government arbitrarily and capriciously do so on your behalf, and for everyone else's kids, too. As someone who got my first BlackBerry at 11, which really sp

I've always found AWS IAM quite simple, but then again it is my job, so I might be biased. I haven't really dug into GCP well enough to understand it, but I did find it quite daunting to start the few times I messed with it. What&

Sometimes half the battle of making a product is to get the right people in the right room at the right time. He managed to do that quite frequently. How much credit to give him for it is something I'm not quite sure of myself, but you

...you just put them in your shell RC file?? This is much simpler than having to remember where the dang environment variables button is in "advanced system settings" or whatever awful command prompt syntax sets it permanently.

I think people should be able to buy food from whomever. I don't see why not. You can't go over to your friend's house and toss them some cash for a steak or wings or whatever? What, they aren't a professional chef with

If you're really fast, you can even equip tank gear for your opponent's attack, then swap back to mage gear for your own. Very strong if you can pull it off consistently due to how paper thin mage robes are. Not sure how many oth

Why make the backdoor obvious by incorporating an easter egg when you could just make one that does not draw attention to itself? You can still make non-obvious backdoors with this policy in place.

You could at least evaluate the contribution to see if it is or is not actually slop. From my perspective in security, it's the exact kind of thing that I would expect a thoughtful, helpful community member to do - big project, not a l

I know MS put the kibosh on most easter eggs after some "trustworthy software" initiative in the early 2000s, which I think was to assuage government concerns that they could also be sneaking malicious backdoors into their softwar

The US and South Korea are allies, and SK doesn't have much particular strategic value that I'm aware of? At least not anything they wouldn't already be sharing with the US? Can you articulate what particular advantages the U

Presumably because you aren't capable of building what that foreign country can offer you yourself. Which they weren't. And here we are.

I very seriously doubt that the US cares about South Korea's deepest, darkest secrets that much, if at all. Not using a cloud provider is asinine. You can use layered encryption so the expected lifetime of the cryptography is beyond th

But the state confirmed the vehicle never had a salvaged title, so, what was the scam? I wasn't even aware that it was possible for a car to be banned from the supercharger network. Sure, it makes sense in hindsight, but I wouldn'

It is concerning that the IETF is moving forward with a proposal that weakens security and is of questionable technical merit, with the most reasonable explanation being that this is the result of efforts by government surveillance agencies

This is quite concerning, and respect to DJB for fighting against it. However, I have to wonder...who would this actually compromise that matters to NSA? * Targets with sufficient technical understanding would use hybrids anyway. * Average
