I'm not sure why you think that's what I'm talking about, because I never brought that up. In fact I agree with that point. The apparatus will never report a failure because it has an incentive not to. The whole system is bui

What do you mean "there's no failing for a country with a sovereign currency"? There are many, many examples of countries failing. Some of them had sovereign currencies. Sure they can't "run out of money" if th

Hindsight is 20/20, so let's use it. How many times has the "too big to fail" hedge worked out favorably for everyone involved?

Do you believe they do nothing or know they do nothing? The number of times a manufacturers website told me one thing and the actual hardware told me something different is quite high.

Sure I can support that. The difficulty as always comes with the grey area in defining "great". There are truly reprehensible people in the world, but they're the exception not the norm. I see you did address that in your com

Then you don't agree at all. Every single adult in the world has "done or advocated for things that cause harm". It's inescapable.

It's absolutely a valid and serious answer? You asked for reasons, omitting two options, and they gave you a list of points for and against not including those two options. That's a good response, you don't need to agree with

Being able to revoke individual credentials is definitely a benefit. I'm not convinced about the transitivity, what's stopping one access from authorizing more? I suppose that would be asy to flag in an audit? Either way it's

That's a particular scheme that might be fooled, but what's stopping someone from making a version of the same scheme that redirects to a prompt on the real site which authorizes them as a new user? I'll admit web technologie

I don't understand what is meant by phishing-resistant. There always need to be systems to authorize new devices or allow users to re-prove themselves if they loose the primary proof. Is the idea that scammers would have difficulty ada

Maybe if you tried out of the blue, but if there was a cultural incentive to practice you could probably learn to do it fairly easily.

I respect the rigor here, but I can't imagine "scary scream like noise was used to spook people" is a novel idea to anyone. The main interesting point to me is that it was categorized as both manmade and non manmade. If you w

Depends how it's applied and what's sourcing it. 3v does basically nothing to dry skin, but would be quite bad on wires implanted in your chest across your heart.

I think the missing piece in your puzzle is adding the "time" to space-time. A particle moving through time is "falling" in the time dimension. The curvature of the 4d space makes this movement through time also move thr

If 20 mins of informations can legitimately be condensed into 20 seconds, it sounds like the original wasn't worth reading in the first place. Could have skipped the llm entirely.

The thing most people find ostentatious about the "mobbaroque" examples is that gold is used to add gold to the work. As a physical demonstration of wealth, i.e. "I can afford so much gold it's all over my artwork".

Just imagine the legal system as a money duel. If you have little money you can be crushed at no cost. Trying to fight someone with big money, even if you're likely to win, will take a lot of time and money. Unless the fraud was black
