A camera should not need to be hacked. What do you expect to accomplish by hacking the camera? We should be able to move certificates on and off it because they would most likely e…

The premise is not that it couldn't be faked. It would be more practical to remove the key from the hardware and just use it to sign images if you wanted to do that. The idea is th…

With photos, I could see a cryptographic solution. Of course it would still need some kind of centralized trust, but it's doable if people cared enough. It could be applied by came…

The foundational failing I see in my countrymen is the notion that China can't innovate. Their economic reliance on exports is not untrue. Just like their reliance on energy import…

What exactly was my example? You agreed with me already. Kind of odd to flip around now. > which are like you said handled Also, I corrected your misstatement about payments. They …

You were the one that brought up payments though. Nobody else specified. They just said it could be hacked, which you seem to agree with.

So your professional opinion is that the attack surface of mobile banking apps is limited to tokenized payments? Honestly, I'd be appalled if tokens were routed through my banking …

It's pretty safe to say that most people don't know what cloudflare does, if they even know that it exists.

It's ok, someone else can maintain it.

Yeah, this is the point. I don't understand the bulk of this conversation. Copyright doesn't matter, the books themselves don't matter. All that matters is that their corpus of tra…

No, I am trying to clarify your position and have already given mine. If you were actually unclear, how did you expect a rebuttal to be taken seriously? Pick one, concede the other…

I'm curious about this. Can you explain your viewpoint without asking questions? Also, do you identify as a "Libertarian" or "paleo-libertarian"? I really think the difference shou…

We're talking early boom? Like WW2 era? It was more industrial. If we are defining tech worker as a person that worked at a factory for technology, I am pretty sure there is a hist…

I'm not sure you can use state violence as a counter to a complaint about state violence. If your point is that we don't have easy solutions, yes I agree. I'd also point out that t…

I am opposed to borders on a fundamental, ideological level. They are an expression of state violence prohibiting natural freedom of movement and trade. I don't believe that is act…

IDOR is a well known security issue that can result in exactly the scenario described (someone incrementing a counter in a url) and has on many occasions in different jurisdictions…

> the main crowd are wannabe master manipulators. also, they can often be distilled to a couple chapters, not sure why they're so long. Yes! Very similar to my own criticisms. It's…

Yeah, I got something similar from Gemini as the first sentence which could be taken out of the larger context easily. The overall answer is very balanced, I assume it was here too…

A generation ship is probably doable with some level of conceivable technology. We just have to figure out how to be self sufficient out there then we have all the time in the worl…

I had books that I scoured from the visiting nurses book sale every year and phrack. That's not much different than yt or ai. I guess there was less direct context with the books, …

Nope, I never heard that. It doesn't surprise me one bit though. I found his talks sort of robotic, and having caught a handful, very rote. I always thought he didn't have the deme…

You remember a way different 90's than I do. It was just simpler back then. There was no aslr, no hardware level protection from execution, traffic was all plaintext, switches didn…

10 years and they'll be mid way into their conference talk career. You know, that sweet spot where you can keep telling the same story over and over and still get attention for it.…

Heh, yeah. They have always been chasing quarterly numbers, they just stopped asking, "what do we have to do to sell the next version" and took their customer base for granted.
