Hardware gets faster but efficiency is stalling if not getting worse.

Those areas are producing educated techies. Those record them move to better areas.

He posted a personal blog post a few days ago decrying that London is not white enough. He has a history of very right-leaning positions.

I have had it happen in Germany on Gillette blades.

Matt cut off wpengine and could cut off any other commercial hoster tomorrow if he wished to do so. Why would you risk that?

You don't remember the controversies with XP and XPAntiSpy?

Judges are not legislators.

According to UK law, it is.

I just use an enclosure that emulates a dvd-drive. Put a cheap SATA ssd in there and you can stop worrying about incompatibilities.

If the regulation is legally binding by an act of Congress, it falls under the legal umbrella.

Same thing in AUS: If there's a AUS law, they have to follow it.

This is the same thing as suing a NY newspaper in Florida because their website is accessible from Florida.

My healthcare, pension and workers protection proves you wrong.

Even if Moore's law was still in effect and the computer resources required stayed the same and compute stayed as efficient per watt (neither is true), it would just halve compute costs every 18 months. You're able to read about people hitting $4000 costs/month on the $200 plan upthread. That's 8 years until it's cost effective.

Are they really ready to burn money for 8 years?

Germany has been doing it since 1949. It leads to stronger regional centers and dishes the capital effect. Germany has many larger cities all over the country.

France has been doing the opposite, leading to a concentration in and around Paris and few major cities outside of Ile de France.

We're halfway into 2025 and you're cutting a goal they should have reached by 2024. Did they reach that goal?

Seeing that telegram is clear text by default, you should consider alternatives that offer end to end encryption by default.

Cheaper, much easier to get, socially acceptable everywhere, ...

You won't get judged for eating alone at home, but start drinking alone at home...

The legal threats against WPEngine and their customers, the lawsuits between WP/Automatic/WPF and WPEngine, the banning of several contributors, the takeover of WP Plugins on WP.org, the shenanigans with several check boxes on the login pages of WP.org.

Your government has threatened military invasion of Denmark.

We have credit scoring in Germany (with the biggest scoring agency being Schufa).

We autistic people have feelings and empathy. We have trouble expressing feelings and reading feelings of others, but we know that we and other people have feelings.

Musk may or may not be an autist, but his deranged treatment of people is not because of autism.

The US is a major food exporter with a supply around 125%. Shutting down a few farms in the desert seems worthwhile.

Optimization problems like placing trains on a network become computationally viable. We're currently using unoptimal solutions because calculating an optional solution would require way too much time.

AES can only encrypt up to 64TB; after that you need to re-key. So you need a mechanism for rekeying anyway. Definitely a good idea to use a battle-tested tool like wireguard instead of rolling your own.

In Germany, the process to evict may start after three months of unpaid rent.

The eviction process itself takes about two years.

I can fully recommend this book by one of the TLS 1.3 contributors; it doesn't require a cryptographer background and serves as an extremely good starting point: https://www.manning.com/books/real-world-cryptography?a_aid=...

It has an incredibly high surface tension and "sticks". It's actually quite hard to apply. I see no risk of leaking.

Yup, that was the older generation. The newer generation used NIST to propagate a backdoored RNG and to weaken several ECC-curves.

It really reminds me of the Calvin and Hobbes comic where Calvin imitates his dad and says "Calvin, go do something you hate. Being miserable builds character!".

"Your ATC comment seems to continue your theme that everyone should run a private PKI instead."

Not the OP you replied to, but I want to add some nuance: there's a vast solution space between using the WebPKI and rolling your own. The enterprise focused CAs have non-WebPKI CAs and CA-as-a-service offerings, both with way longer certificate lifetimes and way longer revocation periods.

If you don't need WebPKI-compatible certs (because you're not offering services to the general public) and your org cannot abide by the WebPKI rules requiring 24 hours max before revocation, you are doing something very wrong when you use the WebPKI.
