I'm happy for Snowden, he seems like a decent person willing to take a stand for what is right and face all the negative outcomes from exposing crimes within an organisation.

If you were an "isolationist" with prepping tendencies would you prefer your car to run on oil that needs to be highly refined or electricity, potentially generated in a thousand d…

And yet some people are pulling in $30k a month selling photos of themselves in bikinis on OnlyFans. I try to be an optimist but sometimes it's hard to picture a bright future.

This was an interesting read, I like exact reals and all the trade-offs involved, paper does a good job working through that. Not sure if you are the author but there's a typo in t…

It's a bit scary how many people here are taking Vitamin D supplements. Unless you live in high latitudes just a bit of direct sunlight daily is more than enough, supplementation f…

This site is basically just a mashed potato of content without js. Anyone care to do a summary? It seems quite interesting.

You pull the tails usb out and it does a far better job, this is shit software aimed at people with shit practices and there's simply no nice or pleasant way to say it. Just fuckin…

This is unjustly harsh. At least it's got tangible benefits and customers without harming a soul. GPT-3 can be and is likely already weaponised, it's nice to see anyone out there u…

My issue is mainly with the unintended consequences, the notifications and such rather than actually respecting reasonable privacy I run a bunch of websites with none of this nonse…

Agree with everything you've said here except for: > I personally don't see how allowing users to manually disable automatic updates makes a product any more secure There's tangibl…

Honestly just block all EU traffic with iptables and the geoip module. Life doesn't need to be like this if you have no business there.

> devolved into a sea of posturing and marketing oneself Don't think it's devolved at all this has been the norm from the 80's onwards (perhaps earlier). Look at how fractured open…

Australian defamation laws are horrendously bad, it needs to be in "public interest", doesn't matter in the slightest if it's the truth. Say a fact in public, and then you go bankr…

Shadowsocks has reliably worked for a long time in China, a country with arguably the best DPI capabilities on Earth. Tor's pluggable transports also have been at this stuff for a …

> there is no real formal verification process for smart contracts Not following here, instead of process you mean no requirement to do so? The process is pretty clear and simple, …

Alexandre Cazes is an interesting case that basically never gets mentioned in these threads. It's questionable whether he was doing it alone or even the head operator. But apparent…

That's simply not possible for the vast majority coming across these questions.

Does clearly-stated and overt semantic versioning not solve this?

It probably should mandatory reading for Stack Exchange users, it's an excellent article. Certainly resonated a lot, both with things I've personally done wrong and have seen happe…

> How can they skirt around these rules? > JPMorgan The answer is in the headline. Technically, the shares will probably be held in a trust.

DJI has been subject to a crazy amount of hobbyist and professional reverse engineering, much of it made public by now. I wouldn't underestimate the western multicopter scene and t…
