Pretending the ADL is some neutral apolitical research body of experts on antisemitism is absolutely ridiculous in 2026. Come on. They aren't any more a useful source on this then saying "the Republican Party cleared…
Re-read the beginning of the First Amendment, because it's such a common mistake that I'm surprised people still make it: "Congress shall make no laws ... " The first amendment bars the *government* from infringing on…
Yeah you've completely misread this. The phrase "not being a team player" is a euphemism for someone not willing to do dubiously unethical or illegal (or things that go against internal company policy) things in support…
Why are you withholding the name of the webmail provider? Literally the only thing even remotely pressuring these firms to implement better security is bad PR (and it barely does that), so by not being explicit you are…
Im confused by the supposed poor definitions of the bill that people keep pointing out. Doesn't the escape-hatch provided in the "systemic vulnerabilities" definition clearly signal that companies could absolutely…
What a completely asinine post. I'm sick of seemingly smart people in the technical world think they are being so clever by trying to literally rehash the continuum fallacy. You hear this literally everytime anyone even…
Which also means that he wasn't doing his job (management) and instead micromanaging his staff by doing their job. This is such a common problem with highly technical managers because they can't seem to understand how…
Jesus christ this is pedantic. You do understand that not all statements can be universally distilled to true or false right? That there's nuance and opinion here right?
Yeah except you're completely misunderstanding their criticism of this entire thing. This has nothing to do with "lack of knowledge" and everything to do with criticising the premises and framing of the law in Western…
Talk about a complete non-issue. The amount that this actually happens beyond the anecdotes of a few reactionary people listening to to many JRE podcasts is near zero. Besides, most places are dog-free. However, the ADA…
and in fairness to the mobile devices thing of abstracting file systems, when it comes to discoverability and organizing files or documents, a rigid hierarchy of nested sub-folders is far inferior to a single directory…
Given this is a UI-focused repo, you really should be including some videos/gifs or at least some static images in your readme without having to run the demo. Like, I just dont get why you wouldnt? Its baffling to be…
It's because acompany promise is useless without actual enforced regulation which is harsh enough to actually add trust in such a contractual agreement being honoured. This is how we have a free-market to begin with.…
People "don't care" because they do not understand the implications or the technology, not because they genuinely have no interest in privacy. Of course its easy to dupe people without technical literacy by…
Yeah this is where I think government-regulation would actually be a solid-fit to try and govern some of this manipulative and unfair practices. There just needs to be a blanket-law where your data is considered…
Please look up the difference between private property and personal property. When people decry "property is theft", they're not talking about personal property, they're talking about private property. Also, socialist…
i dont get this blindspot by lots of developers parroting this uber technocratic nonsense. There's no such thing as some apolitical, objectively best approach to a technical problem. Instead of arguing about specific…
Who currently gets fired due to engineering malpractice? It would be the same thing if there was actual certifications and engineering sign-offs in cybersecurity or other critical areas of development. I wont pretend…
What? The author isn't claiming they were abused or a victim of abuse. Abuse is only mentioned through one specific story, which was from a friend: > In one case, GPS was used to first construct an inaccurate and…
Calling this an issue of resiliency is completely missing the point about autism. I recommend you do some more reading because it has nothing to do with resiliency. People on the spectrum can have incredible resiliency…
I think you're overly inflating the word "interesting" here. It doesn't imply novelty, innovation or anything groundbreaking. It's just of interest, which isn't a high bar.
Ok so Ive heard this rumour spread around a lot and I still have yet to hear anyone back this up with anything beyond just speculation and hearsay. It also doesn't make sense. This premise assumes two things for it to…
Is there any third-party validation on these claims of E2EE? Everyone keeps asking for some sort of validation or testing to these claims and everyone is just ignoring them. Without some kind of third-party testing none…
This is like the equivalent of "my girlfriend goes to another school, you wouldn't know her". Okay, so there's in-house systems as good as this. Big whoop if no one can actually see or use them.
Nothing to do with software is real engineering in any case. Engineering outside the software world actually refers to real codified standards (not just "standards" based on vibes or popularity or generic best…
