It’s a thought experiment , as I observe that it is becoming harder and harder to have secrets. Even your examples (whispering, speaking behind a closed wall, even private thoughts) are either no longer safe or have promising technology bei

You are being downvoted by anti-backdoor people, which is fine, but you highlight an interesting new facet of the discussion: How do we build a functioning world where secrets are not required? By this I don’t mean “everyone behaves good an

Western intelligence plus Israel* And yeah pretty much. I don’t know anything about anything but it feels like there is a hierarchy (norm? At least what they are trying to enforce) of US > Five Eyes > other Western Intel (France, etc)

Yes. The simple thing is not necessarily the obvious thing or the most immediately salient thing. First explore the problem-solution space thoroughly, THEN choose the simple thing

Yes. I like to distinguish between “complex” (by nature) and “complicated” (by design)

Ignore the comments about handbooks. Ethics is not the same as law. In US law, generally (federal and/or state statutes apply) the line between legal conduct and illegal bribery is crossed when a payment, gift or benefit is made with c

Or manufacturing. Or mining/oil. (I know we are getting away from the sensitive data part of the comment though. But this is how you get children digging thru cobalt pits with their bare hands)

It may already be obvious to the average HN reader, but this seems to be about offshore staff. “Contingent workforce infrastructure” is a term of art I haven’t heard yet, but in Google terms this is about red badges, likely offshore ones fr

Slamming on the breaks because you’re anxious about a yellow light is not careful driving. But that’s what red light cameras do
467.
by hammock 1y ago
No one wants to risk a ticket with a guess at how long the yellow is going to be, or whether they’ll make it thru or not. That is the unsolvable part. Yellows are inconsistent , and you aren’t accounting for slow-moving traffic ahead of you

What they are calling “per capita domestic water use” is the per capita public+self supplied, which is not the same as home use. They sort of hand-wave over “most of this is used at home” but really it is inclusive of not only lawns (which

I can’t believe there isn’t a fix for this. I thought I was the only person with these problems. How have they persisted for so long?

Not sure that’s unique. The whole western world did this on a massive scale- starting with the treaty of Westphalia, where after every kingdom conquered as many lands as they could, then voted to assign borders to themselves and declared th

That’s the outdated looking website I found that didn’t have mac version. I’m guessing I’m supposed to use the Unix version there? The website I was sketched out by (but tried it anyway, then got the scary error) was puttygen.com which had

People forget that all doctors were quacks (to borrow your meaning, loosely) until 1847 when the AMA was founded to promote medical licensing; and/or until Flexner’s report to Congress that there were too many unlicensed doctors not us
