You forgot to multiply by the millions of disks they presumably go through every year.

That doesn't support the claim that Trump's orders were not followed. "But soon after the bombshell, Trump partially retreated" It was Trump's decision, but after being advised on it, he changed his mind. This is ve

Yup. Security is layers. Checking this box helps against some threats. Definitely not "close to useless". Public Cloud cloud have their shit together, but they also deal with millions of hard drives. I could definitely see a story

As I explained, and elaborated here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34017654 ) it's not as simple as that. But also. > The author is not talking about getting someone with physical access. Right. The author mis

Like Bedon292 said, I think you misread my comment. I was saying thanks to encryption they don't have access. Most well paid engineers at AWS won't have access either. Presumably some minimal set would, but they would likely be

The author here is missing one big point: The people with physical access in AWS datacenters are not the same people who have access to the encryption keys. In fact, it's likely much more complex than that. The people with software acc

Honest question: Why do you attribute the release of JFK docs with Trump? He could have declassified it all, but didn't. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/oliver-s...

If I understand you right you're saying that a 501c3 is a net gain in money? Would you mind walking me through that? You start off with $1B net. Presumably these are capital gains. You donate it to your own 501c3, and get 125M back on

by knorker 4y ago
If you have $1B you can already pay for everything you need or want. Donating it to your own non-profit, only to pay for your own expenses, is an extremely expensive way to "launder" that $1B into a tax deduction.

Yeah. Imagine the risk that would be for them, if it caused evidence to be lost. There's nothing to gain, and everything to lose. Even if there's minimal chance of anything being there, the mere perception that evidence could have

Here's a gem: While a multi billion dollar implosion is being investigated, potentially hundreds of years of jail time being handed out, millions of victims. Self-disappearing messages and basically no documentation, he just got caught

But by ToS FTX was not supposed to have any long term assets against the depositor liabilities. They first said they did (we're not insolvent, we're illiquid) but that's already fraud. Then turns out they were also insolven

They remembered to hire a chief compliance officer though. One with plenty of fraud experience.

Again, I'm not saying C++ is not complex. I'm saying the complex pieces fit. And that Go has the problem that the pieces don't fit together. (and that this is because it has a bad foundation) I have more than 20 years of C++

You may not like the language, but it's managed to grow with a consistent story. Yes, there have been some missteps, like auto_ptr and vector<bool>, but it does work together. At worst you have to write small adapters because the

Depends where you were going. What I mean is that you can start a small language with shaky fundamentals, but when you try to grow it to take over it becomes a problem. But yes, if the goal was to grow then it's a bad place to start fr

When comparing how Go changes with how C++ changes, one gets renewed appreciation for how good of a job the C++ designers are doing. The more Go evolves, the more clear it gets that it has a very poorly designed foundation. I say that as so

With my ISPs I've had IPv4 broken more often than IPv6. To the point that I've set up an IPv4-over-IPv6 tunnel out, for when IPv4 breaks.

Louder can certainly help too. Especially when people have masks on. But slower helps more than louder.

The UK has always been authoritarian in sheep's clothing. Don't be fooled by its geographic location and shared language with the US. It's very extreme as far as western countries go, and not towards the freedom side.

Using RISC-V compressed instructions is not cheating. It's part of the design. It would not be a realistic comparison if you arbitrarily left it out.

1) The article is checking what's the case in 2022. In my opinion it's quite reasonable to not let 32bit compete at all. (though there is a 32bit RISC there) 2) do you mean also on 64bit x86? Yeah, probably would be nice to see. B

This reminds me of when Google+ launched, and Microsoft coded up a clone over the weekend, just out of spite. Yes, Google+ failed the social parts, but Microsoft's move did not even do the technical implementation. Similar to how &quot

I know a company that used to build all code with both GCC and clang in parallel on every build, and use binary output from GCC but error/warning messages from clang.
