I'm of the opinion that "they" shouldn't be both singular and plural, but zhe/zer/whatever are just too "alien" sounding to work (besides the fact that they are just too close to he or her, and guaran

I grew up in the US, and I still think that singular "they" is weird. I remember thinking that it was weird in grade school, and wishing that there was a better gender-neutral pronoun. Part of the problem with it being used in sin

Ugh. At work, the computers use AirWatch. Oh. My. God. They fill the OSX logs with debug messages. Literally "I got 8 bytes from this with this offset" type messages for an application that spends most of its time running in the

How many "mistaken" claims will it take for (e.g.) Universal Music to have their ContentID access revoked? I posit that they would have to be VERY egregious to get kicked out of the system. Same thing for other larger corporatio

There's a question of intent though. If someone hits bitcoin with a DDOS with the intent of extracting money out of the system, I'm pretty sure that a jury would decide that this was stealing/fraud/etc. regardless of t

Your ideas are very unhelpful, and should be considered as downright harmful as people who deny that depression exists because "I was sad one time, but then I pulled myself up by the bootstraps." The idea that using medication t

Most of the "we must destroy this food" stuff happens to control the pricing of food. If it's getting too cheap, they need to restrict supply so they start destroying otherwise good food.

The EFI variables are just that. Variables not an entire firmware. I think this is where you confusion is. What is happening here is that these variables are presented to the user as a filesystem under /sys. If you run 'rm -rf &

The amount of software that requires write access to EFI variables (as root) is pretty small, so leaving it open all of the time in an environment where the firmware writer could have bugs that cause this seems like it's not necessaril

They want Apple to disable limitations that disallow them from brute-forcing the passcode. This isn't even possible (supposedly) on newer A7-based devices that have security hardware (i.e. the "secure enclave").

If you have something useful to contribute to this conversation, then it would behoove you to put your cards on the table rather than just tossing around generic claims. For example, are you claiming that the secure enclave in A7-based devi
