It is also just plain old human nature.
The inherent problem with AV software is that they require deep system access, thus if they get compromised the system is absolutely screwed. So the question becomes "Is the operating system without AV but with…

What was old is new again, embrace and embed may succeed where extinguish failed.
Dunning & Kruger's work is far from petty; I merely gave him a dose of his own "How's that for nuance" attitude. He is wrong and his confidence is perfectely explained by D&K's groundbreaking work.
The article was about a cheater and their regrets. It is very appropos for people who look around the world and see what is happening and who is running it. Donald Trump has much to regret and the day will come when…
The negativity on this site towards people who express any opinion beyond the herd is making this site a groupthink echo chamber. This karma system has failed.
And related: "Know your enemy."
How would Gandhi have fared against the Nazis? We must have more compassion for the persecuted innocents than for the brutal oppressors. Compassion requires discernment and, at times, vigorous action. ETA: Not all human…
I didn't say any previous time period was better than today; I said that our societies being created by the most ruthless is absurd, and it is. Humans at their best work cooperatively and it happens all the time and has…
The corporations have bought our governments and are destroying the environment for their short-term enrichment. The obvious positives of technology and capitalism must be weighed against their long-term drawbacks. The…
What if we all treated each other with respect and compassion? What if creating happiness in others was our fundamental objective as individuals and societies? Only with compassionate honesty can we root out the truly…
Because our Creator is the ultimate loner, utterly peerless, absolutely Unfathomable. We alone can choose to contemplate It and Its incredible Majesty, and we, as creatures, can only grasp tiny aspects of its Being. It…
One can't be a Scotsman if one's ancestors don't come from Scotland. There are things that are true because they fit the proper description and there are people who use "No True Scotsman" because they don't want to…
No, in the US. It's a crappy small cage, maybe 20' square.
The excellent Horizon documentary, "Fermat's Last Theorem", about Wiles' proof has some great interview footage with Shimura where he even discusses his sadness and being perplexed at Taniyama's sudden suicide. When…
Reading is fundamental. Let me quote myself: >> Happiness is an upwelling feeling in our being.
>> How's that for nuance? You are too stupid to know how stupid you are. Is that you, McArthur Wheeler? Dunning & Kruger send their appreciation for inspiring their groundbreaking work.
Yeah, we have one (or maybe two?) at our local zoo and the setup is such that I was able to be eye-to-eye with one of them from less than two feet. That thing held my gaze with zero fear whatsoever of me. Unbelievable…
Happiness : Pleasure :: Unhappiness : Misery. The former of each are karmic, the latter of each are physical. Happiness and unhappiness are not "chased"; they are earned as a result of one's treatment of others.
That is not happiness, it is sadistic pleasure and it only increases their unhappiness. [Editing because I can't make a new reply for a while]: Happiness is an upwelling feeling in our being. Pleasure is a purely…
Let's say that, before Einstein and Boltzman, physicists thought they understood how the world worked but not only did those two expand our understanding to a much deeper level, very few of their peers acknowledged the…
There is a difference between happiness and pleasure and happiness requires no unhappiness to result in others. The only way a sadist can earn happiness is if they are only dealing with masochists and everyone is…
Freedom is our fundamental human right, self-determination is limited by material means, and dignity is knowing that you seek to both understand and embody the highest ideals. But sacrificing the freedom to cause misery…
Happiness is not the same thing as pleasure. Happiness comes from within and is unrelated to external circumstances. Pleasure is a purely physical feeling and there are certainly people who take pleasure in other…
