I think we have the same understanding. I read this as “a state actor has the physical capabilities/resources to perform an attack that determines Alice was speaking to Bob.” I totally agree. Im just pointing out that we still have lay

Can you expand on that last bit? I don’t understand how this compromises the entire network or any individual user. The ISPs only have layer 3 data in plaintext. We can perform timing/throughput analysis attacks against individuals, bu

So which of the other potential buyers of HCP is the magical non-shitty $BIGCORP you would’ve preferred?

Yeah I mean I feel you but imo this is just what the world is. Ive been fucked over many times in my career…people just have to learn to fuck back. I was more so commenting on the HN hate for the technology/products aspect. IBM has acc

Lmao. Which startup has ~$200B to buy out IBM? Folks are loopy in startup land!

I don’t understand people’s beef with IBM. They have been responsible for incredible R&D within computing. I even LIKE redhat/fedora! HashiCorp had already been sold out since waaaay before this acquisition and I also don’t underst

Ridiculous. Which nation would be more resilient to global supply chain disruption? I am genuinely open to a suggestion because I see no serious contenders to the US in terms of technological, economic, military, and diplomatic advantage. (

Let me put it another way. If Oklahoma adopted the exact same worker protections they would still not be able to replicate Californias economic success. Do you disagree? I dont ENJOY noncompetes but I mean come on give your state a little c

I live in a state where noncompetes are allowed and have never once had an issue with moving between $bigcorp and $startup and contract work. Im on my 7th FTE job within my 9 year career. Look at the recent population decline, exodus of cor

Really?! You dont think its because of hollywood, silicon valley, massive population and natural resource reserves? Beautiful climate and tourism? EDIT: and phenomenal state universities! Worker protection laws are the seriously the driver

What an absurd and completely unenforceable idea. Its almost like California is intentionally trying to throw away their economic blessings…

You’re comparing the largest solar plant in the world to a SINGLE reactor at a nuclear plant. You’re forgetting that solar plants are not able to produce anywhere near their nameplate capacity (and the fraction they do produce is not reliab

This napkin math is so hand wavy and rudimentary that it pretty much means nothing. For starters, you took near the bottom range from your source, and omitted the 25% labor fee. Also FFS were comparing a nuclear reactor to residential solar

I do personally, because I've found one I am willing to bet on. I just make sure to remember that not every decision is upto him. Also he will obviously prioritize his career over mine (you would too). Anyone you meet would fuck you in

Why on earth do so many projects like this have to hide behind this weird inclusive language? Why can’t we be honest with ourselves and admit that our pet projects are just pet projects? Not everything has to save the world or even take any

You’re just jumping on the anti American bandwagon. It’s a cold dark forest. Conflict and self interest are immutable characteristics of humankind. You act as if we’re the only nation who’s ever committed acts of violence. There’s no object

It’s clearly not…he says “pretend to mold” It’s like saying: > physics will always pretend to mold the laws of thermodynamics to prevent perpetual motion. And you go: > this could be read as an endorsement of thermodynamics!

Yes I read your post it was like half a paragraph…We produce more but there’s more retirees and they live longer. At the end of the day the contributors have to siphon off part of their earnings to give to the beneficiaries. Believe it or n

Who’s going to pay for the current working generation when they retire? Social security-like systems require a growing population to sustain.

I violently agree with you and am stunned at the amount of pro EU/anti US rhetoric on this forum. You make an excellent point about the EU surveillance laws. They clearly don’t give a shit about privacy. None of the folks disagreeing I

That's what the CPI is and the real wage growth charts are exactly what you're asking for. That being said, there's definitely a disconnect. The CPI metric is constantly changing, and is such a broad economic indicator that m
