You don't have to resort to complicated cryptography: anything the FBI can decrypt, anyone who knows what the FBI knows can also decrypt: is is prima facie impossible to have a decryption algorithm that only works when accompanied by a

Can you clarify how segmenting the services has any effect on this? It seems that even if Microsoft had an entirely EU-only product that the same rules would apply for accessing the data.

I don't believe VC math actually has the property you are saying: the thing about most preferred shares isn't just protection from routine dilution (which makes you more likely to 'win big' if the company becomes a unico

Effectively what you are saying is that venture capital funds (correctly) think that that percentage of shares aren't very valuable when they are equal preference to the employees. The employee should use exactly the same evaluation fr

Nearly all of my (mostly highly educated) friends are entirely indifferent about indefinite copyright: they care less than about network neutrality and don't care that much about that. Would there really be that much fuss over it?

The truth is a tiny amount on top could significantly reduce the boilerplate for true beginners: a spec defined trivial fragment and vertex shader that has an associated glBindDefaultShaders() would already go a long way. The truth is that

I don't think it is that misleading, the bulk of federal tax dollars are spent at the federal level. More of my net tax dollars go to tanks than schools or roads right?

One interesting property of the US tax structure is that most of the tangible benefits are mostly funded locally (education for 13 years, police, fire, most roads) which is generally a lower tax rate than the federal taxes (which don't

Do you believe that Adobe would lift algorithms from your non-open source JS if not for NS.js? Or are you worried about some other tiny company? As someone who worked for a while on painting tech at a BigCo, the truth is that the chance tha

It certainly is cultural: in Switzerland the rate of recycling is extremely high without and deposit. To clarify, in my experience what happens in the US is most people recycle bottles at curbside pickup, rather than drive somewhere to get

I think bags are quite different: the hassle of reusable bags is really low, they weigh almost nothing, and they have other real advantages over the plastic bags (they don't break). Many US states have bottle deposits for a similar &q

On the other hand there is still a lot of packaging per good in Switzerland: a lot more things are sold individually wrapped in plastic (cucumbers, peppers, etc) and things like baking soda are sold in much smaller packets.

20k USD/month is in the range that Google/FB/Microsoft pays for direct managers of ~10 person teams: basically that would be the level of credentials that you would be competing for in that pay area.

Surely you can see an argument for it potentially being more confusing that F4 sends a keystroke to your active application but none of the F keys do?

I suppose you could avoid having the extra request roundtrip by inlining a uint8array (or a base64 encoded string or something), and it also lets you have wasm and it's associated JS be put together which would automatically avoid cach

wasm files are already a binary format, an explicit Uint8Array should only only necessary if you want to inline the wasm directly with the JS that instantiates it.

How would looking at network sniffer logs let you detect any security flaws for a server, as long as none of the live traffic is doing anything sketchy?
