Yeah, Claude Code. I have the $100/month Max plan. I run 3-5 instances “in the background” (just another terminal) while I work. It really helps work through the backlog of “easy-i…

Why not? I regularly have a couple Claude instances running in the background chewing through simple yet time consuming tasks. It’s saved me many hours of work and given me more ti…

No, it is not. This is precisely why we have the term E2EE. An escrow agent having your keys but pinky promising not to touch them is indistinguishable from the escrow agent simply…

E2EE means only your intended recipients can access the plaintext. Unless you intend to give the government access to your plaintext, what you described isn’t E2EE.

That’s insane. 13 hours of work + commute. After 7 hours of sleep you only have 4 hours left in your day for literally everything else.

The United States has many allies. Obviously the US and UK have a “special relationship.” Then there is AUKUS. Then NATO. DoD calls a number of SEA countries “allies,” including Ja…

On the contrary, it’s a very strong claim. The guards could decide they’re not getting paid enough and steal the data. Or the government could arrest them. Or the government could …

What are employees supposed to do? They’re not the police, they can’t arrest anybody for stealing. And they’re most certainly not a deterrent for these kinds of these bulk thefts. …

People have been stealing stuff, like laundry detergent or baby formula or power tools, in bulk then reselling it for half price on eBay or Facebook Marketplace. Maybe they’re desp…

Is it normal for papers to have that many authors?

Signal is not a VPN. How is this relevant? Or did you link to the wrong comment?

My only complaint is that his sourdough starter chapter has you make buckets of the stuff. Maybe it’s supposed to make it more difficult to screw up, I dunno.

Newborn bowel movements are also important for preventing more serious jaundice.

Obscurity can certainly be part of defense in depth, but it unequivocally does not make anything more (meaningfully) secure . For example, hiding the fact that your data is encrypt…
