  Not really. Sure, China is able to make unpopular decisions better then democracies, but that makes them inefficient in different directions. E.g. high speed rail in areas where it is not needed but greatly lacking freight trains. Or their housing bubble.

  “We don’t accept ideologically motivated changes” = White supremacist language…

  My bad, I thought it was about payments in general (including other programs) but it says social security database. Sorry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Another accusation Elon made was that payments are going to people missing SSNs.

  A much simpler answer is that not all Americans actually have an SSN. The Amish for example have religious objections towards insurance, so they were allowed to opt out from social security and therefore don’t get an SSN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This was Likely Recently Auto-Installed on your Phone.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, if the app was open-source so we can check it does not leak data, I would probably have no issue with it.

  Making it a separate app makes sense if google wants to allow other apps to re-use the code. No reason to have the same functionality bundled into each app separately.

  And the feature, as long as it is configurable, seems useful.

  The auto-install is bad but understandable. As far as I am aware, there isn’t and easy way to mark an app as a dependency of another app so it gets automatically installed only when needed. This should be fixed but auto-install for all is not terrible temporary solution. This does not apply when the app is closed source and may steal your data.

  Again? Didn’t they try this once already?

  I mean sure, that is how some (mostly strategy) games do it, but for an FPS, figuring out where the buffer should be would be a programmers nightmare. I guess you would have to try to calculate all possible line of sights a player could have within some buffer time and then all players that could in theory enter them… Add physics and it is practically impossible.

  Also, corner hack is useful enough and it does not address aimbot. IMO the answer is some combination of human moderation and ability to play with “friends” instead of randos. E.g. you could ask people to like or dislike a player at the end of a match and try to pair players that liked each other in the past.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That does not detect things like wall hack and aim-bots that don’t modify the game state directly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Matrix 2.0 Is Here!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In XMPP, e2e encryption (just like everything else) is an optional extension. So in practice half the clients don’t support e2ee, half support different version of e2ee (can’t talk to each other) and pretty much all e2ee are likely full of holes since there are too many implementations.

  In Matrix, e2ee is in a library that all clients can use.
