It boils down to this: if you can access secured data, then someone following the same steps can also access it. So unless you advocate for no secured data, you are vulnerable to a sufficiently sophisticated attack (I.e. hypnodrones hijack

I agree to a point, but surely the news media can't be where all the signal is coming from, there's too many forums on the internet (like the chans, and now social media sites) with too many users.

This reduces into the most insane game of chicken ever played. Everyone loses (in every dimension) if no one switches off, but the first country to switch off will absolutely lose (economically).

Even a VCR tape gets put into cold storage and can be converted into a digital stream any time later. Data is extremely persistent and it's very easy to forget this.

Um, what makes one form of dishonesty acceptable and loot box dishonesty unacceptable? Personally I lean on the "I am the final arbiter of my purchasing decisions" side, but surely this principle would have to be applied consisten

What policy change that could be implemented would do anything about the societal belief of college = job? Even something as extreme as outlawing job listings from listing college degrees as a requirement probably wouldn't do it. It&#x

Not really? You'd have to normalize across _all_ applicants, otherwise you're putting applicants from countries with a harder curriculum at a disadvantage. 98th percentile from X doesn't mean the same as 98th percentile from

Echoing a comment I made a while back, there's a difference between transient (a humorous remark amongst friends) and permanent information (a humorous remark printed in a book). Except that the internet has made all transient data per

Peak tourist season is more like 2 months, and its not like the streets are totally dead in the rest of the year. If we let T (tourists/day in peak season) = 3t(tourists/day in regular season), then we have about 1.3t if it all sm

The problem with any advice to avoid the tourist crowds is that it doesn't scale. If everyone avoids tourist season, then you've just made tourist season year-round ;)

If you don't trust Huawei as a manufacturer, then logically you wouldn't trust them on the lower-level stuff anymore than the software layer.

I think you'd lose a lot of the benefits if this isn't opt-in. If you make it just another ritual, then I imagine by the month's end, it stops giving any type of accountability.

I mean honestly, Fizzbuzz is about the complexity you'll see in most of your day-to-day coding. So if you're too immature to go through with a task like that, then I'm afraid you're too immature to work here.

It's just that on the scale of the internet, the breakdown tends to be: 3X of people come out in support of your ridiculous idea, X people actively disagree and 100% - 4X ignore it, where X is some small number. To an outside observer,

If I may use a bit of reduction, isn't the logical conclusion of freedom of speech that truth simply doesn't matter? If every idea is acceptable, and I cannot face consequences for anything I say, then what difference is there bet
