The issue of administrators who repeatedly side with students even in absurd situations seems to be slowly reaching awareness. There's a good short video here that explores what's been happening at Yale: https://www.you

Fuschia isn't existing because Linus occasionally flames people though. It's because Google has tons of employees who want to write operating systems, and maybe because of the desire for driver ABI stability.

It's amazing that such an obvious statement has to be said! The title of the article is like something out of a comedy: it's "stunning" that people who drop out of work for a while earn less, and that more women than men

I noticed a lot of the complaints about "problems" with the EHR is in reality mistakes made by humans that the software could theoretically have caught, like bad drug combinations, but it didn't either because the app just w

I guess the big question I have is why Cloudfare is a more trustable exit point than my mobile carrier is. They're both large corporations with similar privacy policies.

Thinking time as in, thinking about what the right decision is, not how to push the button.

You're right, that was sloppy. I was getting at "social sciences" or alternatively "sciences in which things cannot be precisely measured".

That's not a rebuttal at all! I think there is a fundamental assumption gap between you and the people making these videos, hence the disagreement. That is, you don't see it as especially problematic if some votes are important an

OK, you're implying at this point misleading editing, false claims and more. But in this thread we've presented three sources of MEPs saying this is a real problem, that back each other up. The onus is now on you to find rebuttals

Deploying the attack presented in this thesis requires not only having access to a TEE but also compromising one of the parties to a communication Essentially everyone with a PC has access to TEEs: beyond Intel SGX there's also the t

Can you justify that? The internet is full of people posting anonymously but there's no equivalent of cryptographic deniability (you cannot forge messages that look like they come from me, on this site).

by repolfx 8y ago
Deniability is a popular feature to add to cryptographic protocols and it seems in vogue to complicate protocols significantly to get it. But does anyone really care? I'm struggling to think of a single case, ever, where someone embroi

Why do you say zero evidence? Have you actually watched the videos? He provides video evidence from EP sessions backing up each of his many claims. Then the second video I cite shows more MEPs from different countries and parties complainin

Mindblowing. No wonder so much science doesn't replicate. I read scientific papers fairly often compared to the average person, and this is probably the most important I've read in years. It feels like a similar problem to Spectre

The next video in the series casts serious doubt on that claim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2YYiig_s9w I will summarise the claims in the videos. • Many votes on amendments (not bathroom breaks) are done via quick vi

The concept of a servant leader is a contradiction, isn't it. 'empowering to own' is a pretty weird construction too. Tech companies need people with very clear product visions that inspire their troops to build something ex

I said very little was said , not literally nothing . We see articles in these outlets decrying tech firms for not doing enough to combat 'extremism' nearly every day. How often do we see mention of political parties being banne

How is what I'm saying incorrect? You're agreeing with me that the ECJ voided the treaty. Here's what Article 50 says: 3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the wi

The Article 50 treaty says very clearly that unilateral revocation isn't possible. The ECJ has done what's expected for the EU and simply ripped it up, but will the other heads of state accept the treaty they all signed just being

This is one of the claims that keeps undermining the Remain position. The EU imposes high tariffs on food in order to protect French farming. This is well known and has been discussed for years, often in the context of "when will Europ

PC Mag is mainstream media, now? How many readers do you think it has compared to a national newspaper? It's hardly a conspiracy - the worldviews of these people are formed in the same crucibles and result in the same outcomes. They wa

No they wouldn't, because this already happens and you hear nothing. For instance in the UK Facebook banned the pages of a political party and very little was said because the same kinds of people who control Facebook also control the

To be clear, I wouldn't support that at all. I have no beef with Israel or Jews. What I'm trying to explore is where the logic in this thread takes us. If I'm fine with or at least neutral towards Israel, and I am, and if Fac

One thing I genuinely don't understand about all this is how Israel fits into it. From wikipedia: The primary principles of Israeli citizenship is jus sanguinis (citizenship by descent) for Jews and jus soli (citizenship by place of b

So it's just terrorism then. What kind of lone wolf terrorism isn't accompanied by at least one other person saying they agree with the terrorist's cause? Do we really need a term for this?
