Viewing profile — austerity

I vaguely remember giving it some consideration. But the bigger point is that my judgement on these things is not to be trusted since I'm just an application developer and not a cr…

Yup, arbitrary restrictions on passwords are a bane. I've thought about adding various modes but then you need to remember the mode you used. So far the most sensible option seems …

It's simple concatenation. The exact algorithm is described at the bottom of the page so that one could reproduce it (and their passwords) independently.

Shameless plug time! Instead of remembering different passwords or using a password manager (and thus storing all your passwords somewhere) you can use https://salty.pw/

How did this become about taxes when it's actually about corruption? New evidence is uncovered of people at the top systematically abusing their power and disregarding the very law…

It could and it would be wrong. But it's not at all what this leak is about.

Nothing. But some people can't control their urge to cry wolf.

If by "skew" you mean publish some (true or at least reasonably verified) information that could influence the voters' decision then why the hell not?

The wording in that article is pretty telling, but why do you imply they can no longer be trusted? A business that was profitable before became unprofitable due to legal pressure, …

Welp, it was only a matter of time... Thanks for the info!

First of all, there's no such thing as own server. The trust you are putting into the ISP your "own server" is connected to is exactly the same as the trust you are putting into a …

I too like to come up with rationalizations of my NIH syndrome.

It's remarkable that you had to preface your argument with "Just playing the devil's advocate here". It appears that the fear of AI taking life and death decisions is so great that…

Oh, come on, let's not pretend this is somehow different from the traditional money. I am not particularly ignorant nor reluctant to learn as far as an average person on the street…

It's not the memory that is the problem, but the collectivist mentality. I "remember" a lot of history but I know better than to associate myself with dead people of the past or to…

As someone who is fairly enthusiastic about Go and has implemented a few livelihood-providing production systems in it I am baffled by the number of people who keep trying to use i…

> Just because something is legal doesn't mean that it's okay, from a values and ethics perspective. Exactly. And taxation is a prime example of that. Just because a racket gang de…

The mere fact that the encryption ban is being discussed and bringing it up doesn't instantly end one's political career is frightening. Access to all individual's communications i…

Is there anything I can read up on this? I hear the population of Baltics halved, sounds like a rather drastic effect. Although I didn't imply immigration restrictions are the only…

While that's true, holding everyone by force is the most primitive and inefficient (in terms of common good) solution I can think of. For example, the safety net is in fact an earl…

At some point other factors like ease of contract enforcement, infrastructure, etc. become more important than shaving off a few more percents from the taxes. So in the end it boil…

You are deciding whether to violently take away wealth from the rich. It might even be a good idea, but the real manipulation here is to pretend otherwise and get all offended when…
