This is not a new philosophical problem. We already know what the inherent tension is here. Do we value the sanctity of a human life over the greater social order? Of course both a…

> I'm interested to know what the majority of the Windows machines are used for. Willing to bet it's SQL Server and Azure AD

Yeah some pretty clear propaganda going on... from reading the released summary of the study the vast majority of dependents that did not find employment seem to live in job desert…

Did you even read the article or the study? One of the only conclusive statements from this study was the UBI experiment as enacted here encouraged dependents to take up "fulfillin…

> There was no clear indication that basic income encourages people to find jobs. You can scratch that one off the list. You clearly didn't read the study or even the guardian arti…

I know a bunch of people who went to RSA in Vegas that got a mysterious flu that was extremely similar to Covid. Given the Vegas mayor's recent publicity it wouldn't surprise me th…

> The individual officers are often just too dumb You know, my dad always told me to just listen to people... eventually they'll tell you who they truly are.

The "is it doing X before we run out of money?" question is way overblown in startup land, usually by product people to skew developer time towards more features instead of much ne…

> RSA 2048 keys are unbreakable for the foreseeable future, and using 4096 bit keys are just being paranoid with no gain This is only true if you consider pure brute force as the o…

Uhhhhhh, are you talking about bank term loans? Bank term loans have repayment periods over decades (usually), and use the physical assets as collateral. Not what OP is talking abo…

Pretty easy to call their bluff and just pay for those people's unemployment instead

If a 50% drop in expected revenue _growth_ causes you to default on your debt you are either a startup that had trouble raising money, in which case now you know that you do not ha…

Crazy to me that they've released this without a way for organizations to disable using it with private repos... in no way shape or form do I want engineers using this app to acces…

> I honestly don't get the attitude against a certain level of preparedness. What is wrong with stocking more non-perishable food stuffs at home if those are the things you'd norma…

Will their consumption of toilet paper increase? This isn't hard.

The recent spate of people worried about "empty shelves" is kind of funny to me, it's essentially admitting to the world that you have no idea how the world works and the smallest …

Please think this through. You're not completing a 6 week grocery trip in the same period of time as a single week grocery trip. You're going to be touching the same amount of item…

DO NOT DO THIS! This is crazy FUD that will only make the situation worse. Stockpiling rarely, if ever, helps, and overwhelmingly hurts the poor and disabled. The absolute worst of…

Because outside of the bubble of the top 1% of the top 1% of security teams actual software engineering knowledge is barely existent

Why is this comment downvoted?

> He's not beholden to anyone's interests or greed or kickbacks or special interests. What a laughable statement. Of course he is, he's beholden to his own interests as a billionai…

> All this stuff you here about “evergreening” is entirely the result of gaming the FDA approval practices Evergreening has absolutely nothing to do with the FDA and everything to …

It's quite telling what you excluded in your rendition of history. The original research for the synthesis of insulin was actually done in Europe by a private citizen (not a govern…
