Make possession carry the death penalty. Before you think that's too harsh, consider that the other options are to ban encryption or to not try to stop it at all (quasi-decriminalization). I don't think anyone would oppose a bill

This is the consequence of companies like Discord letting child predators run rampant on their platform and doing nothing about it. There are two sides to every story. You can imagine how the government would react after seeing hundreds and

If you slap an "academic" label on it, no one will bother you. Same like how PredictIt is run by a university so they're allowed to be a casino that takes MasterCard and Visa.

Bitcoin's strong point is that it will allow rich people to maintain their wealth when the inevtiable tyrants take over and try to redistribute wealth.

This is reckless and compromises the security of the Bitcoin network. A single transaction worth a billion dollars starts to create incentive for miners to 51% attack and reorg the chain.

Why? So you pay more money to AWS? Deploying databases is a solved problem. What's the point of the overhead?

Bazel has rules_rust and supports distributed builds. It might be useful to switch to that instead of cargo.

Suppose 100 processes on the same box call the same function in glibc. If each process had its own redundant version of it mapped into memory, then that's 100x more cache misses compared to them all sharing the same page. I get that on

Dynamic linking provides encapsulation and security benefits. An application with a statically linked OpenSSL can be vulnerable if a CVE comes out for that version of OpenSSL, whereas a dynamically linked OpenSSL could be patched immediatel

Search history, ad clicks, etc. can serialize to very tiny records. I don't think this is about saving storage space. One day of YouTube uploads probably takes more space than every user's data combined.

Benchmarks don't matter. It's 2020. We use Stock Price Driven Development now. The main reason to use Swift is Apple created it. The main reason to use Go is it's the first two letters of Google. The main reason to use Python

It amazes me how much abuse loyal Apple customers are willing to take. How much money are you willing to spend. It's almost like this is some large-scale ritual hazing which serves to make you, the hazee, come out even more loyal on th

The question is will I be able to install Debian on it? Is the bootloader going to be locked like iPhones? Is the ISA going to be different from Aarch64 on commodity ARM boards? Will the only supported compiler be Apple LLVM?

These gTLDs always have baggage. No one takes them seriously. If you spell it out IRL, people will append a .COM no matter what. There are also no price limits like there are for the traditional TLDs. The registrar of .SOFTWARE or whatever

I hope we don't get even more locked down permissions for Web Extensions. I would prefer that the Chrome Web Store manually vets every extension and update. Maybe start charging big $$$ like Apple does. Most extensions will disappear f

If an attacker can mess around with their private API, that attacker can find a vulnerability. If an attacker finds a vulnerability, the attacker can steal user data. Consider the average age of the users and then consider what could happen
