I read it differently. I agree the basic offer was probably sincerely from kindness. What seems creepy is her continued insistence, her inability to relate to the human in front of her. I suspect she is just not used to anyone acting genui

They changed the law in CA, it's still technically illegal, but police are directed to not cite anyone unless: "... a reasonably careful person would realize there is an immediate danger of collision with a moving vehicle or other

Any idea how the attitude compares to the Swiss?

A tangent, but I’m interested (as an American) what is the German attitude towards laws that have no enforcement or penalty? Do most people feel an obligation to observe them? Is there any social cost for disregarding them?

Given where the plurality of readers of this site live (SF Bay Area), the inclusion of the coast redwoods cuts against your argument.

Or new infrastructure. You bring a demo of a new distributed transaction manager?

generating tons of keys? or just broad keys? What I've done is generate a cert for the host(s) the user needs, for the time-span they need (subject to authorization logic).

I see it as fairly benign. It requires the device/computer have a way to set the age. If you don't want to set your real age, that's fine. If you are a kid, your parent will probably have set it for you (it's really a

And they have DOD lawyers (with backup from the DOJ) saying the whole thing, and specific targets, are legal. Along with that, much of the most Sr leadership (of both combat forces, and legal) have been fired and replaced with MAGA loyali

Exactly. This is really useful in larger organizations where you may want more complex rules on access. For example, you can easily build "break glass" or 2nd party approved access on demand. You can put whatever logic you need

Sure, but, if somehow they fell into ICC custody overseas...

They won't face any US law. AIUI, they have been getting letters from the DOJ office of legal counsel that say it's legal. This effectively immunizes them (the DOJ can't turn around and charge you with a crime, if they advi

I would settle for a fine each time, about $1000 in CA, and a point on some employees license.

Also, how could one reasonably disprove that the signers were not in on the scam?

That was inevitable, and all designs like that will eventually yield the same outcome. The people who should be embarrassed are the ones who thought having a group of humans routinely review (possibly complex) transactions for correctness,

Yep. And war crime seems to have lost all meaning in the US. But, even if you dismiss the idea of international standards, this is clearly very bad for US soldiers (and sailors, airmen, etc). I wonder if they see that.

I think you can forgive it as a rhetorical device when speaking to a really broad audience.

But he did publicly declare his intention to commit war crimes.

Do they train for a “no quarter“ conflict where injured or surrendered combatants are killed?
863.
by lokar 7mo ago
Yeah, it simplifies later code, and is safer in the face of future changes. Or put another way, it tightens the API/contract of that chunk of code to always return a valid string.

I don’t mind a public subsidy, but that’s not current law or the majority attitude

My read is he was not Sr enough in the org to drive any effort to improve things, and could not get someone who was to do it either.

His writing style is fairly over the top (he is Swiss, and I have seen this before, but not most of the time), but most of the technical content seems true to me.

I think he did kind of point at the lack of seniority in the org, so I'm not sure he was trying to exaggerate with the titles. I'm really struck that they have such Jr people in charge of key systems like that.
