Sorry in advance for the verbosity, but I really feel like we're crossing paths. The US doesn't want to start a war with China. The US wants to prevent China's rise. It wants to do…

Today I learned "gish galloping". No, I am a wordy person and I apologize for that. I think you'll find it isn't an excessive amount of arguments, but an excessive amount of detail…

Okay, so for (b) we agree that China does not want to agitate a war with the US; that it would like to avoid it. For (a) you do not have an area of critique where you believe any c…

The Belfare Center for Science and International Affairs has a nice report ( https://www.belfercenter.org/thucydides-trap/case-file ) indicating this is a good predictor for confli…

While I disagree with this on its own merit, its important to point out this does not address the question/topic. Asked above was: (a) What steps of reasoning do you think are unso…

Thank you for the thoughtful response and for sharing your opinion. About the standard you propose. It's interesting, but there might be some issues with it. I am writing this not …

I'm a bit confused about the question and how this relates to the topic. I don't know how many journalists are lurking non-front page HN stories, so you'll probably get a non-journ…

Could you add some more information about what steps of reasoning you find unsound, or what reasons you believe China would have to agitate for a conflict? The "Thucydides Trap" an…

> Just to be clear, what are we talking about here exactly? An ostensible war would be to set back China's growth and its trajectory of growth. The US has little interest in govern…

Note, this isn't going to be a surprise attack. China is developing access to hold the infrastructure at risk as a retaliation/deterrent for an American attack on China. It is high…

Is it "largely" for filtering search results that civilians will have easy access to, in line with IDF narratives and perspectives (?)

This has a range of 400+km (100kmph = 4 hours to respond). It's purpose to maintain an accurate picture of the sky, tracking many objects at the same time at different altitudes. T…

In my opinion we're protecting from LLM generated content all wrong. A modest proposal: (a) Put LLMs in the defensive role, give them the social media posts (for example) and let t…

I disagree. I think inspecting the output from Qualys (and other tools, including SAST) are substantially and manifestly different from inspecting Kubernetes logs. I would worry th…

Eh... maybe. I think "configuring SAST" goes back to what you had previously said about "tool monkeys". Now there's thousands of potential issues. Many are false positives. Who is …

As part of the industry, I can tell you I've personally found dozens (hundreds?) of vulnerabilities per year for the more than decade running of my career. The same is true of my c…

I'm on two sides about this article. The first side is that ultimately the argument that the author debunks is a strawman argument, and the counter-arguments are equally sophomoric…
