It's unfortunate that you're absolutely correct. Mens rea is one of the worst concepts to ever enter the legal system.

Personally, I'd rather fuzz their servers with terabyte after terabyte of garbage, but to each his own.

Since when does TLS warrant scare quotes around the word "encrypted"?

I actually do. I won't be able to say much because I'd like this account to remain anonymous, but my parents are/were notable figures in the homeschooling movement. At least from the 90s-00s, religious homeschoolers were the solid majority of all homeschoolers in the US by far. Many of which are more extreme than you probably imagine.

I have what seems to be a unique perspective in this thread, among a bunch of trendy libertarians. I was actually homeschooled my entire life. It wasn't great. It did not do much to prepare me for the adult world, where people don't really care if your precious ass needs extra time on something or would rather do something else, and you do have to collaborate with people you may not particularly care for. I did not anticipate the need to navigate office politics. After a lifetime being spoiled, I'm floundering. Most of the jobs I've held haven't lasted beyond 6 months. If I do have children, I would respect them enough to put aside my ideology (after all, I hate the government as much as the next HN reader) to not do them that particular "favor".

Presuming that "trying" on the final is necessarily a good thing of itself.

If you're moderately good at both, in the combined grade you would have done... (wait for it) moderately.

So what's the problem?

Why would you expect that (modulo wtf are you talking about).

You are correct, but "regulatory capture" refers to a different form of corruption than what you are talking about.

Did you read the article? Not only was sql injection found, logins were brute forced. 2fa absolutely would have helped with that.

Wow, she's the Chief Security Officer. I got the impression she was just a hired writer (she prefers writing murder mysteries?). This is looking really bad now, for Oracle's head of security to feel this way.

The scorn for customers in general is palpable. Why is Oracle even allowing this person to be a voice for their brand?

In many neighborhoods you can get a car service to do so yes. It's not feasible in all situations however.

Called a "mega menu" FYI.

I avoid almost all of these snafus simply by not putting anything in Virginia.

If you worked for yourself, you'd be able to make 10 times as much?

Silicon Valley billionaires have proved repeatedly that they are nothing more than overgrown teenagers. I hope that they do achieve interstellar colonization. This planet will be better without them.

But getters and setters aren't inherently associated with IoC nor vice versa.

I guess if you have no fear of recrimination or are a sociopath you can be confident in your righteousness? Sounds about right. The great thing is that people with your attitude get caught up in stings just the same as those who have mens rea. Police don't look at evidence and think "here's a guy/gal with nothing to hide", they think "here is someone we can charge".

Yeah, reporting it is definitely the right thing to do and would totally go well for you. /s

Markets are not wise by any stretch. No one agrees what a "free" market would look like, but in general they tend to favor incumbents and the powerful.

The distraction is the point. It's no use enabling only the ads that you're easily capable of ignoring.

I mean really, any student could tell you that property rights require enforcement.

That's psychology for you though, it doesn't require you to get philosophical about it. It's just fundamentally how your brain works.

He didn't have a heart condition, that was the whole point, congrats on an epic whoosh.

Like Brave New World, it appeals to (most of) our distaste for treating people differently based on their class. Meritocracy and all that.

This is way, way too prevalent -- people thinking that by doing more things to the password you are being more secure. The bcrypt algo already salts, there's no need to prepend extra stuff. And if you really had 80 chars of preliminary table condiments and your bcrypt implementation truncated at 72 -- well that's just textbook.

Seems like you have plenty of time to observe the habits of your fellows.

I assume using some form of copy-on-write.

If you really are as charming in real life as you are online, people might indeed accede to your quaint insistence on anachronistic media, until they don't.

Personally, I require that all my so-called friends communicate with me in morse code over short wave radio. It works a treat.
