- Comment on Upcoming California law to require operating systems to check your age 1 week ago:
Yeah, no they plan on going full identity validation
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Well, approximately 288 unique clients have been identified this far.
So probably more like a month.
But there is a good possibility that we could find further pedophile networks; as it appears that they might have had multiple suppliers that would poach Epstein’s trafficked children and compete against him.
- Comment on YSK that treatments for back pain can cost thousands. But some of the best fixes are actually free 2 weeks ago:
Not a joke, literally what my insurance company told me when my doctor tried to get me scheduled for a reduction.

The most effective treatment is actually a breast reduction but apparently American insurance only covers making them bigger….
- Comment on A death prediction market would be a platform for crowdsourced assassinations 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like something that already exists and is happening right now
- Comment on If you had any doubts that Know-Your-Customer laws were evil, here is one very good reason: personal data of 1 BILLION people just leaked. 2 weeks ago:
Well yes, but that is something that they can’t hide from their investors and that information is public and tax fraud is one crime governments will kill corporations for
- Comment on If you had any doubts that Know-Your-Customer laws were evil, here is one very good reason: personal data of 1 BILLION people just leaked. 2 weeks ago:
No. You just tax the corporations based only on revenue and make the tax rate an exponential curve. Instantly too big to fail becomes too expensive to survive. Thus the businesses will naturally split into smaller companies.

If a small business comply with KYC laws and gets breached, less than 1000 people get impacted. One would have to breach a million different companies to equal the scale of a single mega corporation.

Sounds more like big corporations are the problem here
- Comment on What else can we do with sugar (sucrose)? 3 weeks ago:
Well it could be used as an effective carbon storage after you strip off the hydrogen and bury it in the ground. I believe that they call that a reverse coal mine… I think we could even exploit current US government stupidity to fund it by mentioning coal
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 3 weeks ago:
Modern developers simply were not ever taught the old ways. The old ways are light years ahead in terms of optimization and efficiency than what modern developers can even imagine. Imagine creating a C compiler and it has to run in 16KB of RAM and be powerful enough to build unxz, untar and sha256sum. Because it was done because they needed it.

- Comment on Storing encryption keys for backup drives 3 weeks ago:
Buy a physical safe. Encrypt a flash drive using a 128bit pass phrase that you memorize.
Combine with a ubikey storing a 256bit password that is stored somewhere hard to get to
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
If you want cooldown between activities, you will need a rest period that is a multiple of 15 minutes.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
About 15 minutes.
If you can work on a single thing for blocks of 15 minutes size. Then you will context switch at the human mind’s natural frequency. Anything shorter and you’ll be operating at decreased IQ. Anything longer will not produce meaningful improvements.
- Comment on Little quick question: what do you think of advertising from a Marxist perspective? 4 weeks ago:
Sounds more like improving search and providing high quality information resources could eliminate the need for advertising altogether.
- Comment on You can ask any question to the people of year 3000, but can only receive information in the form of a single bit. What's your question? 4 weeks ago:
Wrong. Assuming 6bit and one bit per minute; a 3 char start and stop sequence. 1024 character message could be sent per 4.3 days. Or a faster response time than my ex.
- Comment on The New Yorker Asks: Is the A.I. Boom Turning Into an A.I. Bubble? 6 months ago:
When entire state governments can fit in a single Rack, why bother?
