Cue the comments whining about them profiting from a life saving vaccine. Yes, that's kind of how it works. Are they supposed to only profit from ineffective vaccines?

TEE is more generalised, it runs arbitrary crypto operations. TPM offers specific cryptographic operations using the keys that it holds.

To get kids into science, make the education system better. Less memorisation, more practical work. Accelerate things for those interested and remove those that aren't. I wanted to be a chemical engineer or pharmacologist but got so bo

Very nice. Now I can look at Prague and think about how much I miss it :) went in April and had such a great time.

Egyptology is so fascinating. When I was in primary school, the teacher did a really special lesson I'll never forget. The classroom was decorated like a tomb - the windows were blacked out and the tables were arranged in a way that we

It was considered hot with the radioactivity of Facebook from the moment it was born. Governments were pretty quick to say no, so no surprise it died.

Neither Signal, WhatsApp, or Telegram are particularly secure. On Signal for example, your private key is protected only by a verification text message and short PIN. That's very low entropy compared to a full ED25519 keypair. It'

I used to vehemently agree with stuff like this, but now I just cringe. Yeah software today sucks, but comparing it with the 70s/80s/90s is just stupid. We don't ship software for one piece of incredibly simple hardware and a

>Except the .NET runtime is about 5-10x faster than those runtimes. I'm as guilty as anyone for using anecdotal evidence but any reliable numbers that prove this? Stats I recall from years ago showed V8 destroying the .NET CLR.

There's an interesting concoction invented by a reddit user known as the 'borax combo' or 'NeXTC' that aims to reproduce the effects of MDMA without the neurotoxicity. It's made up of 5-MAPB (a benzofuran, whic

Yes. And it did that perfectly well five years ago before they bolted on all this bloat nonsense.

I really don't like how GitHub has turned into a social network of sorts. The gamified elements are encouraging people to work for free and MS probably knows this. GitHub should just be a place to host and build code, not to flex your

Absolutely, the performance would be terrible, but under circumstances where you need to be sure there's no side channels (like in a secure element kind of chip) maybe that's acceptable.

Slightly offtopic sorry, but I remember seeing this project years ago for a compiler that emits only mov instructions: https://github.com/xoreaxeaxeax/movfuscator Since this is effectively branchless and every instruct

Generally speaking people on HN are well established in their career and have families of their own, so work is less of a priority for them. I'm 21 and actually prefer being in the office because I live with family and hate having to u

Crates should be namespaced by user. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

I wouldn't do it. It doesn't sound like this upgrade is urgent so why rush into it without having everything you need? Your boss has delegated this task to you. That means you have the authority to decide how/if it should be

I guarantee that if hard drugs were made available at pharmacies that usage would not go down. Deaths, maybe. You would end up with a whole lot of dysfunctional addicts. 14 year olds can easily get their hands on a bottle of vodka, what hap

The irony is that coke is shit and more expensive compared to synthetic cathinones, but it's culturally ingrained.

Absolutely. And the front page is just full of this kind of specially curated content that aligns with the moderators' views. It's propaganda, basically. Question is whose?

Yeah but Reddit isn't mum and dad's little cafe. You can think of it as a public newspaper. Anyone can ask for their own page titled whatever they want and curate that content to their own biases as they please. I could have nabbe

It's relevant because the moderator in the OP is a teenager and I question if kids should be handed the reigns to moderate like this no questions asked.

I'm pretty much in that position and still don't use the apps. It's like saying there's nothing to eat and settling for grass. For average males they'll provide a fleeting moment of hope only to utterly destroy self

When you realise Reddit is moderated by unpaid megalomaniacs and teenagers, everything starts to fall into place. In some ways Reddit is worse than Facebook because it is influenced by anonymous entities with zero checks and balances.

On a similar theme with others, not enjoying my youth. Well, I'm still 21, but I'm strongly career focused. Didn't go to college or university. I'm very socially isolated and miserable despite raking in money working in
