Your Maginot line is only providing imaginary security. Actual IT security is in depth, and the simple task of having an admin account that is not the default user ID makes sense to me. What zero days are out there that rely on a known user

It’s intended to be obvious nonsense as a means of getting people to think about metrics and whether the sum of a metric over a population is a good metric for that population. The same thing goes for means, weighted means, and so forth. Th

To accomplish his stated goal in the MCU (as opposed to the goal of impressing his girlfriend), he should have gone for maximum grief, along with preserving those islands of isolation since those islands are more likely to be the cultures t

Just remember that rabbits kill themselves through starvation long before they invent boats to get to the next island full of resources to consume. Controlling population growth is a far preferable option to mass murder either by actively k

What is the truth of humanity? What world do you wish to “go back to” and can you provide documentary evidence that this ever existed?

Or you could be mature and realise that the reason everyone in your pub is a Nazi is that you never said “no” to the first Nazi sympathiser, after which all the non-Nazis left. What is merely offensive to you is a persistent death threat t

No you do not have the hardware required to win the F1. There is more to an F1 car than “engine” and “wheels”. The specs you have to conform to are a rule book several pages longer than any nation’s Design Rules for passenger vehicles. As f

Just bought 2021 Model 3 SR+. Did not opt for the FSD package because the features it delivers were no worth $10k to me. The included Autopilot is more than sufficient for my foreseeable needs. For me, “foreseeable” also includes FSD actual

They have delivered on the promise where the promise is in the fine print: the car is delivered with the hardware Tesla currently believes is required for Full Self Driving. Until the software is up to the task, people who buy the FSD optio

Oh, smear campaigns. I though you mean people were sabotaging reactors.

Nuclear is also quite expensive. Who has been sabotaging nuclear reactors?

The climate effects of burning coal were well known in the scientific community as early as 1856 (Eunice Foote) or 1859 (John Tyndall). Deliberate misinformation from fossil fuel companies has been around since at least 1991 when they publi

Unvaccinated deaths from COVID-19 vs deaths from post-vaccination patients. No need to be snarky.

Not only that, but being aware of the environment as being "cheating-enabling" means that when they lose the cheaters can blame the competitor having better cheats, rather than having lost because they're a worse player. I wi

A camera controlled by the government department isn't going to protect the ballot box from malfeasance on the part of the government department. At some point you need to trust someone. I think it's reasonable to trust a governme

You don’t need to have been to China to know that Tibet and Hong Kong share a similar fate. Hong Kong will fall because China can’t allow it the freedom it needs to operate. The intellectual and financial capital that hasn’t already departe

The ballot box is stored in a secure building. Are the Union or Amazon going to break into the offices of a federal agency to deposit fake votes or otherwise tamper with the ballot box? Doesn’t the security of the building contribute to the

No. Why we can’t have nice things is the selfishness of the people who worship “the economy” at the cost of human lives. Why we can’t have nice things is the fascination with enabling rich people to get richer directly at the expense of the

In the surface of the Earth we have designated conservation areas, wilderness areas and “dark sky parks” all intended to reduce the impact of human industry on the natural environment. We do not need StarLink to industrialise space, and we

The economy exists as a side effect of getting people the things they need to live fulfilling lives. Serving the economy is literally putting the cart before the horse. I need to eat and poop. I don’t measure my value as a person by how muc

It boggles my mind that France and South Korea had such great success with nuclear but nobody else was able to replicate that success. It can't be magic or works of God that won that success, so what's the real story?
