it’s a technicality, but if you do this to all the machines at precise same time it would not work. the attack relies on the grid being there and leveraging the power it generates to destroy one piece of equipment. that said, you could take

DNA is overrated. I think we have already transcended out biological roots. Some information we generate as a civilization is already long lived. I am not sure if it’s wasteful. In the current context maybe.

i think the answer is yes. there is also an argument to be meant for healthspan vs lifespan (ie you don’t necessarily live much longer but the quality of life is dramatically improved)

you are making a couple of assumptions that will probably not be true for immortal humans: 1) you are assuming people will continue to behave the same way (reproduction, consumption, learning, jobs, etc). 2) you are assuming population incr

it depends. as a low level foot soldier definitely. the higher in rank you are the greater the odds that you can actually get away with it w/o being held accountable

i’m not disagree with you, just pointing out that by that definition all companies above a certain size are bad

i think it’s both good and bad at the same time and YMMV depending on how you use it / where you use it. i like: being able to cross-compile things into a single binary. raw speed in case of simple services i dislike: the way generics

to be fair. a company this large probably has pockets of "bad culture" and pockets of "good culture". I would say that this team/org has a problem in its toxicity

the work environment sounds toxic AF. Also, the judge ruled on title VII. Here is what should have been considered: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fmla It's 12 weeks unpaid under FMLA. https://ww

i have a Cardboard... but since I upgraded to Iphone 11 i can no longer use it :O (ie it does not fit in the cardboard) For its price point it is pretty dope

yes, crypto is a magnet for fraud /s did you ever hear the phrase “money laundering”? most fraud is done using “real” money. we should get rid of money to prevent fraud. /s Have you ever been denied an application for a checking a

let me rephrase that for you: some things actually worked when it was initially released :(

hahaha. I also don’t plan to upgrade past Mojave. To me Catalina was a trainwreck and at this point I think I’m loosing a lot of trust I used to put in Apple. this is compounded by the fact that I love Little Snitch and it has basically exp

you can do a mooc on molecular biology pretty easily if your goal is to get a superficial understanding of it. you don’t need to wait until you retire :)

yes. without any spoilers there are literally tens of books out there that explore this very same idea. (some of them hard scifi)

my favorite is https://youtu.be/LQmTKxI4Wn4 once you look at microbiology you cannot unsee that it looks just like a massive, complicated stochasticaly-driven computer

you can still play the original Starcraft for free on BattleNet. If that’s still going I don’t see why Starcraft 2 should be of any concern in the foreseeable future.

this sounds like someone who isn’t thinking about all the edge cases for nuts returning stuff. i would not be surprised if there was a protocol in place for screening against all kinds of things (with emf being the small potatoes)

by rantwasp 6y ago
yes. that’s why i said that it should be caught but probably is not. it’s also probably borderline illegal to do this kind of things

yeah. what people don’t understand is that the return has to be processed when it comes back. in an ideal world anything like a GPS tracker would surely be discovered. there are also several issue with how the return may go. amazon may tell

3 things: 1) curiosity 2) learning 3) growth you need to be curious about why things in a certain way or why they don’t work, to take them apart, to continuously ask why along with curiosity you need to learn. ALL THE TIME. you job learning

this. if you have access to all your machines through public internet you're doing it wrong (ie stop solving a problem that you should not have in the first place). The proper way to do this is to have a bastion host (or a jump host) w

I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Ti
