what's the point of moving the goalpost here?, are you gonna pull the terms and conditions of meta? trump wasn't prosecuted

Of course a guy with a net worth over a billion dollars would have 11m in hot wallet.

If someone steals my notebook I take a bigger hit on my net worth lol.

You are going so back that gmail was served over HTTP (not HTTPS) in that era.

If that's the worst you have against Linux then it looks like it has done very well.

Similarly, I've had a canary unencrypted BTC wallet in my computer for years.

I've always been security conscious and I role play my Arch as a Qubes "dom0" and use VFIO for GPU enabled VMs, which I know is not the Qubes way, but I'm also not that at risk.

Talent in western game studios just can't shake the startup mode. Try get a hit, try to get bought, cash out, run away.

Blizzard seemed to defy the stereotype but it died a long time ago, it's just a husk.

The contrast with japanese game studios is impressive.

even if they were despicable, kiwifarms is case study for this, you can't give yourself a platform, they were DDOSed into oblivion when cloudflare dropped them, donations were blocked by payments processors, etc.

AI assistance is not vibe coding. You can use AI and not let it write a single line of code.

When I make manual changes I run them through an audit and risk analysis agent to make sure I didn't miss anything important.

This has caught more errors than our test suite lately.

it doesn't matter who does the writing, it matters who does the thinking, that the whole deal of pair programming.

I think everyone just forgot about pair programming.

> The company pulled the car over after detecting a “violation of our terms of service involving a firearm,"

Well now my biggest fear of riding a Waymo is not how it drives but getting my Google account banned because it misdetected something.

MCP doesn't expose service credentials to the AI.

> Where were the boycots then.

1. steam does not have a monopoly on distribution rights for PC games. if steam were to go bankrupt publishers could honor your keys and even other marketplaces could do it. steam themselves let you bring your own key.

2. steam has been a benevolent marketplace leader, even though DRM itself plays against customers, the rest of the stuff they pushed while leading, like game sharing, play and refund, offline playing, are pro consumer.

3. why would your knee jerk reaction to this is pointing a finger to steam, what's your endgame?

This is tangential but our monk parakeets make a special sound when they see something they don't like. We have learned to identify it, and hilarously, our dogs did too.

Now when they see something weird (recently, a bird of prey in street light they saw through the window) they sound the alarm and the dogs go absolutely crazy.

I mean the US works like this, it isn't suprising a US state also does.

If someone from the US does something illegal on your site (which is legal in your country), depending on how much they want you will end up in a US prison.

Before the US decided that betting online was OK, betting sites had travel advisories for their employees not to travel to the US.

then you have an extension with full access to everything.

unless it's one of the big guys, devs either sell the extensions or get hacked, it has happened multiple times.

> how big of a deal Terminator 2 was and how big movie releases can be. Like, nothing in the MCU era or the Star Wars prequels and sequels comes remotely close

I'm in that age range and I lived through T2 and Endgame and I'll have to disagree.

T2 is one of my favorite movies of all time but experiencing the Endgame premiere, as a hardcore fan, with the other hardcore fans, was something else, it had the whole teather howling during the climax.

I also get that T2 is "easier" to enjoy in the sense that you need to watch like 22 movies to really get into Endgame.

and AI deniers were saying we were gonna get boiled like frogs, instead we got free heated swimming pools, wait a minute ...

It's cool, but I could have done it 2.45 weeks!

> three letter guys would extract your key with a wrench.

Are people still using this to justify no encryption? that comic sure did a lot of damage.

Mr. Nobody should be able to decide how much they want to protect themselves. If it's unstable maybe Mr Nobody is fine with it.

Raising the cost of achieving this to enterprise budgets, just because, seems suspect. Specially when there are so many attempts to undermine secure computing by the powers that be. [1] [2]

> There are many much cheaper ways to force you to give up your keys.

Yes, but that requires the Mr Nobody knowing you have access to them, which in itself is a big deal.

But let's think about it, why would they torture Mr Nobody by wrench? News stations would like to hear that, or do you think they will make Mr Nobody disappear too? Would they take those risks for a Mr Nobody?

Maybe the most realistic scenario is that people sometimes can hold onto their passwords. Scumbag or not. [3]

> I guess that would drive housing prices down a little because so much of the population would be living with their parents until they save up enough for a down payment, which might not occur in their lifetime

you mentioned supply and demand, if everyone is struggling to buy houses, downpayments wouldn't just go down a little.

in the end, everyone needs housing, every single house would be occupied just as now, but instead of having renters being squeezed by supply and demand you would have owners.

how is that a worse scenario?

let developers have rent, they are the risk takers, they deserve it.

I agree that using cookies is better for web sessions but I absolutely despise those using the boogeyman to shoo people away from stuff they don't like, instead of asking them to use their brains.

> they are not secure.

They are secure if they fit your risk profile, a blanket statement like this is just disinformation.

Don't treat your peers like idiots.

Did you miss the sarcasm or has GTA6 become some sort of anomalous memetic agent that makes anyone who tries to work on it not be able to finish it regardless if it's human or AI?

So your argument is "if you give a mouse a cookie"? There are plenty of companies and they just throw us a deb and we do the rest.

And even if it were a valid point, why would eye even waste a second of your life argumenting against Linux when it's being asked to a company with a projected 1 trillion dollars IPO.

What's your stake here?

After decades of heavily using the computer keyboard (every day, all day) I started getting pain in my wrists.

I got an ortholinear keyboard that looks like a rectangular grid, just 12 by 4 keys around 10-15 years ago.

I don't recall the last time I felt pain in my hands, completely gone.

speedtest has a lot of volunteers hosting local servers, which you need to do a good last mile speed test.

that capilarity is not something you can achieve overnight.

maybe the old tools are prevailing for a good reason.

I prefer people to email me because half of the time they figure out their problems while writing them.

it's not an absolute rule but people who don't do their homework gravitate towards calls and messaging because they just don't prepare their questions.

asynchronous communication puts the burden on the sender, where it belongs.

> Netflix streams in 4K/UHD (15Mbps)

proper 4k, like the one you watch from a blu-ray, will have peaks of 150mbps.

the 4k we see on streaming services is awfully overcompressed.

and yeah, you can see the difference, it's day and night.

> For $3500 I can get 7-8 years of GLM

mind sharing where's the go to place to pay for open models?

This doesn't seem like a simple white collar crime. If the military are betting on the operations they will carry it's virtually espionage.

> the very community they are trying to court

After all, we may be a just a data source and not their intended demographic all along.
