This kind of thing sounds great on personal projects, but doesn't scale. Like many abstractions, frameworks' biggest benefit is (arguably) making it easier for teams to work togeth…

I'd guess this is less of a concern than the services people are accessing being slow. E.g. even though I've got FTTH, youtube is still sometimes slow to load the front page.

Cultural changes? How would you build those? The government doesn't control the culture. How would you make it unacceptable? Bureaucrats don't have direct control over that. Also, …

They really should have given some actual information, i.e. how the information was stored. I want to know what algorithm was used, not how "it was securely stored so people still …

Copy-paste from another thread, cause it's still relevant. Urban environments aren't really "nice". For all I hear about the joys of urban living, as espoused by others, I haven't …

I agree with you in principle one-hundred percent. However, at the time that was written, there was one key difference: entitlements. Once the government started taking on the burd…

DEF CON has a lot of informational talks where research is presented. Going to villages also sometimes gives you the opportunity to join a team and learn new stuff. Research is als…

So, like the ultimate SDR?

It might just be the easiest way to do it. It's also possible that Intel didn't have access to samples of enough AMD stuff to test, or the wrong department had it, or they couldn't…

Venmo and zelle are two apps that allow instant p2p payments. Venmo was first; zelle is the banking sector's answer (a whole bunch of them got together and agreed to support it). B…

It seems that while banks themselves do fewer things around p2p payments (which seems to be the over-arching issue you have with American banks), other private companies are greatl…

Still use vim. You can use something like "5db" to delete the previous 5 words. For more precision, "5X" will delete your last five characters. And if you have a very specific use …

Right, but all the others still have jobs. That's the point of the 2.4 million: there are the ones employed directly, then those employed by suppliers, suppliers of those suppliers…

The feds make ISPs spend money on rural areas which aren't really profitable; that's likely a part of it. But there's no competition because there are a limited number of lines ava…

Most of them are much smaller, meaning there is significantly less distance to cover. Of course you can get fiber to the home every where when you have a small nation. Let's look a…

> dead hand I assume you are referring to "dead man's switch"? If so, we've had the concept of mutually assured destruction for a long time. With our radar capabilities etc. we can…
