Adding to my sibling comments: It also has been conquered in some sense of the word. There are effective vaccines for the 9 most problematic HPV types: https://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

I'm usually not one to focus on technological solutions given sociological problems, but this one seems to be a good exception. If we "just wanted to" [1] all this fake calls could…

> It’s only expensive and brittle because environmentalists have choked it to death. They’re the third biggest villains of climate change, after consumers and oil companies. Do not…

And as a third answer: You actually don't need to take the flywheels of the power plants offline, when you take the rest of the power plant down. The locations for them are perfect…

The limit is not how cold the water needs to be for the power plant, but how hot it can be for the river ecology to not take (too much) damage. Even in Germany power plants regular…

You are very conservative with the upper limits, probably because you are limiting yourself to medicine . With bio engineering the upper limits are hard to grasp. Why build a house…

But why? I'd understand (though not approve) them tightening down everything about the car firmware to the max. They are responsible for the app, sure (it's a "digital element"), b…

Yes and that would be completely correct in many cases. > Almost like there are aligned interests there rather than a purely adversarial relationship. You might very well be the ex…

All of their issues are self-inflicted. What benefit is there to their cloud backend except getting around the home NAT? If you want to build your IoT product privacy-friendly, you…

Do try to follow the advice of my sibling comments, but its also okay to find out you are simply really bad at remembering names. I think I'm in the bottom 10% percent in that rega…

A side aspect of this drama is the root feature which enabled this bug: > ugh sorry this was a bug with the 3rd party harness detection and how we pull git status into the system p…

This is the important point. You need the right to not be discriminated when you withhold your consent, otherwise your consent is effectively meaningless, as it is forced on you by…

> This is like saying we should have halted all RSA deployments until improvements in sieving stopped happening. Absolutely not. If people were advocating for ECC only, you would h…

Off the top of my head? Pro hybrid: Negligible performance impact (negligible for battery devices, negligible for data send over the wire (number of packets -> sub-discussion about…

> How do you mean the risk profile is comparable Exactly in the way the succeeding sentence defines: "For both cases there are credible expert opinions that say the risk is incredi…

The argument is that deploying PQ-authentication mechanisms takes time. If the authenticity of some connections (firmware signatures, etc…) is critical to you and news comes out th…

Super important: Don't replace traditional (elliptic curve) Diffie-Hellman with ML-KEM, but enhance it by using hybrid key exchanges . Done thusly, you need to break both the class…

Thanks, I can very much agree with that. Re Oppenheimer: I know. My point was that he very much knew what his work was being used for, as should people working at xAI at the moment…

Yes, yes, true, but you've massively moved the goalpost. The original commenter was referring to people working at xAI right now . To continue your comparison, your argument would …

> on-demand can never compete with mass production even if a big part of the mass produced stuff is discarded. This is definitely not universally true. E.g. photos are very cheaply…

> But what is the option? I feel each of us wants to draw a line based off of our morality but the circumstances don't allow us to stick to it (still gotta pay rent) I was with you…

I'm dumbfounded they chose the name of the infamous NSA mass surveillance program revealed by Snowden in 2013. And even more so that there is just one other comment among 320 point…

You misunderstand. The physicists are developing their own software to analyze their experimental data. They typically have little software development experience, but there is sel…

I wish non-conformity was more of a thing at points where it actually matters. Your product manager asks you to add invasive user tracking and surveillance? Push back and explain h…
