I’m pro nuclear as well but we absolutely can maintain this level of energy consumption on renewables alone.

The question is cost and risk - I’m for diversification of our grid which includes nuclear.

But it is getting to the point where renewables with backups will be cheaper than coal. That’s absolutely something you can run the entire grid off of. You can balance storage requirements with excess production capacity that gets shuttered over the summer etc etc

(it’s not his personal device - it’s a work owned device)

Zoom ai transcriptions also make things up.

That’s the point. They’re hallucination engines. They pattern match and fill holes by design. It doesn’t matter if the match isn’t perfect, it will patch it over with nonsense instead.

I dug into this more because I was under the impression it was the case that most states did not: here’s what I found

https://felonvoting.procon.org/state-felon-voting-laws/

23 states let you vote after prison. 9 fully stop you off your rights. DC & 2 State let you vote from prison. The others are some level of parole or parole and probation.

Which means overall 9/51 are full loss: everywhere else you can theoretically get it back.

Tbf I think felons should be allowed to vote.

… Unless your felony was committed while voting. That seems like an exception…

The vote is today, the propaganda war has been ongoing for years

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying “I’m ok with Intrusive software practices that provide a tangible benefit (fuck cheaters) because I air gap my shit.”

Malware implies malicious. It’s not malicious - it’s extremely intrusive.

Ultimately I don’t give a shit if they have every bit of data on the computer I play games on: there’s nothing there worth looking at. I do my private stuff on my phone. Gaming PC is for discord, games, and making shit for the games.

So I trust their root kit. They can’t do anything to me there.

Not necessarily the same hacker.

There’s never certainty when talking about hackers…

That’s verbatim the content of the email and the email hack does not appear to be malicious (unlike the ddos or the password breach)

It’s more likely that this is 3 different groups than it is a single group.

This guy is outing the archive for terrible security posture by bringing attention to it because they received disclosures and did not fix them.

Don’t get shit twisted - he’s the hero here. IA fucked up and has been vulnerable to manipulation by any number of corporate or national actors this entire time.

Exactly.

Ultimately I’m pro passkey but when it comes to password managers: if the hash of your vault is easy to crack you’ve fucked up big time. There shouldn’t be any way to crack that key with current tech before the sun explodes because you should be using a high entropy passphrase.

Never forget that technologically speaking you’re nothing like the average user. Only 1 in 3 users use password managers. Most people just remember 1 password and use it everywhere (or some other similarly weak setup).

Not remembering passwords is a huge boon for most users, and passkeys are a very simple and secure way of handling it.

Passkeys are an ancient authentication setup, have always been better than passwords and are finally getting traction.

You can share passwords without the server seeing them. Many managers don’t but there’s nothing infeasible there. You just have a password to unlock the manager. Done.

That’s not entirely true: sacrificial anodes attract and collect calcium and magnesium as well as preventing rust.

Light is also not “stuff” - it’s electromagnetic radiation. It’s by the unprivileged intertial frame of reference that we define the speed of light. Light’s speed is the speed at which it travels unimpeded through the spacetime “field”. Additionally light does not accelerate or change speed in any way while traveling in that frame.

Unless you’re asking if light travels through things that are not the field known as the spacetime continuum in which case yes: light travels (and changes speed) through all sorts of materials. Like glass.

Honestly for a multinational corp operating at the scale they operate that’s a pretty good report card. They look like boy scouts compared with Nestle, Coca cola etc

No mention of paying for death squads, no forced child slavery …

Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t boycott, just that there’s a sliding scale and if you have to choose a Nestle product or a Unilever one is less evil.

Space isn’t a medium because mediums have privileged frames of reference.

You’re talking about spacetime which is a field, not a medium.
