Honestly this position is pretty backwards. Forums shouldn’t be policing content unless it’s illegal. Why is everyone so desperate for regulated discussion?

So the way I see it, there no way we can tolerate the Taliban facilitating attacks on US soil. So after the initial invasion and defeat of Taliban forces, what is the correct move? Occupation didn’t work, but leaving after overthrowing the

Genuine question: How did the United States cause the Taliban control of Afghanistan? The Taliban were in control before the US invasion following the 9/11 attacks. Although the US failed in training the Afghan military, it seems like

The premise of the article is incorrect. Waymo has not “solved the self driving problem”.

From the main page of the app: “ Tornado.cash was audited. However, it is still an experimental software. Please use at your own risk.”

Serious question: Why do you believe tornado to be secure? The project is self described as experimental software.

I’ve always been fascinated by kernel development. Realistically though, what are some examples of useful modules someone could write without several years of practice?

We can reduce our carbon footprint without cramming into cities like sardines. Living permanently in super dense mega cities is a dystopia. 97% of the population already lives on only <5% of the land. Why not improve upon EVs, renewables

This is just nonsense. Where are you coming up with this theory? Everyone has an ssn already wouldn’t that qualify for the mark?

There’s no reason why the id system can’t be federated like the EU solution. Also all those hypothetical “mark of the beast” people you mention already have SSNs.

Where should the line be? For creating a vaccine which solves a global pandemic I think the rewards should be pretty steep. 60 billion is peanuts on the global scale. Millions of lives have been saved.

I actually have no problem with pharma companies seeing huge profits from the covid vaccines. Should they not be compensated for their extremely difficult/impactful work? Why won’t someone else do it for cheaper?

Crypto inequality is FAR worse than the traditional finance system, both in power and capital. A very small number of people control the protocols, network nodes, and hold the tokens themselves. The 100 richest ETH wallets own 25% of mined

1. Tornado is self described as “experimental software.” I would not trust that protocol over a token designed around privacy like xmr. Especially with volume this large, timing attacks become a concern. 2. LE can still catch you on the way

I must be coming off the wrong way. Sure people should make those lifestyle changes where possible! I’m not against small change. I get frustrated when I see people generalize the rest of the population as “abhorrently selfish”. Especially

You’re missing my point. FWIW, I agree people should try to minimize driving where feasible. OP isn’t just suggesting that people drive less. According to him, drivers are “abhorrently selfish” and are directly responsible for death, diseas

Yes. It completely misrepresents the actual complexity of the problem. Instead of discussing effective solutions like political activity the climate change debate gets dumbed down to reusable cotton bags and paper straws. The purpose here i

So in your mind, despite being in the top 1 percentile of historic carbon output, you have the moral high ground for not owning a vehicle? Yeah those impoverished parents sure are pieces of shit for driving thier kids to school and commutin

This is a ludicrous philosophy. I suppose you also take no part in any activity that has any negative impact? There is an indirect negative impact of ANY modern lifestyle. The really expensive impact comes from of industrialization and tech

Honestly if you just pay attention to the constantly shifting fads and “best practices” you’d have noticed by now. Example: object oriented programming was THE WAY the write code a few years ago. Now functional programming is all the rage e

The only UIs I create are pretty simple. For simple interfaces I would much rather deal with spaghetti and homegrown solutions rather than massive overhead and complicated abstractions. A lot of people just blindly build everything they wri

What you’re looking for is called SCA (software composition analysis). Best tool I’ve used so far in this domain is snyk.

That’s for the tips! I’ll take a look at alpineJS. I tried vue a long time ago but would definitely give it another look. My complaints really come from using react and I assumed vue had similar issues

Am I the only one who still has a preference for vanilla js? Maybe it’s just my use cases, but every time I try to use a high level framework like vue or react I am immediately bogged down by unnecessary abstraction and complexity. Again, I

Excellent point. People need to be more skeptical of novel technology in general. I mean, the big proponents of any new technology usually have a financial incentive to over sell its capabilities. I've noticed that with AI/ML espe
