  • Hackers Crack Tesla Twice, Rake in $1.3 Million at Pwn2Own Automotive

  • That's some sociopath shit right there. But tbh white hat is better -- the people that did this are guaranteed steady paychecks for the rest of their lives, with a lot lower stress than getting one big payday and having to look over your shoulder your whole life

  • Record number of Americans are homeless amid nationwide surge in rent, report finds

  • If our country and economy is failing at providing for the people we already have we shouldn't be letting in any more.

    Wait -- our country is supposed to be providing housing?

    I won't lie, I'm super into that. Normalizing rent across hundreds of millions of people would go a long way to stop bloodsucking leeches from buying property, price gouging residents to live there, and calling that a "job"

  • If only there was a way to talk about political ideology that indicated some kind of direction, then we could orient the data in such a way that the arrows went in the direction of that ideology.

  • So is the US slipping into Civil War?

    Jump

  • We can beat them! The US Army, Navy, Air Force, and that other one that no one cares about, they don't stand a chance!

    Like, we can all joke about civil war and splitting up the red and blue, but, like, when it comes down to deciding who gets the nukes in the divorce, it becomes pretty obvious that it's just super dumb to think about realistically.

  • ‘It’s embarrassing’: Republicans worry they have no achievements to run on in 2024

    Jump

  • "The Republican Party is a caucus, representing many different viewpoints. Some of my colleagues wish to worsen the lives of poor people. Others prefer to focus on worsening the lives of minorities. Still others prioritize their personal financial well-being. With this diversity of opinions, it can be hard to find common ground."

  • That's honestly a really great approach. I'm going to do that next time I fuck up at work. Boss: "The production server is down and the database is hosed!"

  • End-To-End Encrypted (EE2E) Websites?

    Jump

  • I had no idea mega did that, that's awesome. The whole idea that the server doesn't have the key, like -- it's so simple, but it never occurred to me. Why would the server ever need to decrypt it?

    This shit is wrinkling my brain.

    And I'm even more mad at every cloud provider. Why you decrypting my shit, Google?

    So I guess the question is, for your site idea, where does the encryption start? Like, you want the text on the page and the form data encrypted, but, is the text on the form's submit button encrypted? If it is, your user has to be a developer to some extent, or you needs to build like a WordPress style wysiwyg editor that also encrypts everything -- and, like, that's kinda cool, but actually writing that code sounds like torture. I'd rather spend all that development time giving myself papercuts and squirting lemon juice into them.

    So an encryption "barrier" has to exist. The Mega server doesn't decrypt your file, but it knows that it's getting a file of some kind for you, and it knows the shape of the data. It's not completely ignorant -- and, like the WordPress problem above, you could prevent that -- keep the server from even knowing what it's doing -- again, kinda cool, but it sounds like torture to actually write.

    So the question is, where are you putting that barrier? It seems like, wherever that barrier is, is also how deep a non-developer user can get into using it. To put that another easy: the more of the site's content that's encrypted, the more development skills the user has to have.

    Or I'm just misunderstanding your project entirely, which I will attribute to the fact that it's 1am.

  • Yeah I'm kind of dumb like that. But honestly I don't actually do it for them -- I do it for noobs. Like, there's a long way for that person to go before my input will be helpful -- but there are young people who have heard those arguments and may not have a compelling response -- so hopefully my post will help.

  • Trump unleashes Truth Social attacks against E Jean Carroll while in court

  • Money is the only thing he cares about. Keep the fines going up. We can call it the Trumping Point: the amount of money required to make a billionaire understand consequences. Then future fines to other billionaires can just start there.

    For real though, imagine the orange apoplexy if he lost all his wealth.

  • Why can't they just flip burgers from the age of 16 till 65? What if they don't mind the work, they have a full and fulfilling life outside of work, and their job is just what they do to make ends meet? Does that mean they deserve to live in debt and working 100 hours a week? Are you so ignorant that you don't understand that, in any economic system, capitalism or otherwise, not everyone can move up?

    It's literally not possible. There have to be people flipping the burgers. That's a fact of the system; there's no way around that. And it's ok -- not perfect, but acceptable -- as long as we treat those people with dignity and respect.

    And that means paying them enough to survive -- and thrive -- on 40 hours a week. No one's saying they should have enough money to buy megayachts -- or even regular yachts. But they should be able to buy a shitty canoe -- and still be able to pay all their bills, and not have to work more than 40 hours.

    If you're concerned about the possibility that, if they earn more, you'll earn less, that's just not true. There's no scenario in the USA where a company is charging customers any less than the most they possibly can, and paying their workers any more than as little as possible. That's literally the law. There is plenty of extra money that can be used to cover the needs of our poorest people -- and to raise the salaries of more scarce labor who would otherwise turn to flipping burgers if burger-flipping salaries went up.

    Literally every business that's even a little successful has extra money. ("Extra money" is also known as profit.) There is no reason why one person should have to work more than 40 hours a week while another person has more money then they can possibly spend in a lifetime; it's illogical and irrational, and cruel.

  • The system is broken

  • If everyone who flips burgers gets a "better job" are you going to stop having burgers?

    The issue is that while there is work that needs to be done, then there will be a need to pay people to do it. If you're a business owner and you have work that needs to be done, and you can't afford to pay your employees enough for them to pay their bills and lube decent lives, and you can't personally take the hit to your own income to cover the difference, then your business should fail.

    Right now, the arrangement forces people to work more than 40 hours a week -- which is illegal, but companies get away with it because they don't work at the same company for the whole time. In fact, many people with multiple jobs don't even have full time jobs -- they have 3 part time jobs, all working them less than 40 hours a week, so they don't have to give them the benefits they're required to provide for full time employees.

    (Personally, when I was young I had multiple places scheduling me for 39.5 hours a week. Now I'm a white collar FTE and I work 35 hours a week.)

    So, next time you call someone who's flipping burgers "lazy," think about how lazy a person must be to work 100 hours a week. Is that what laziness looks like to you? How many hours a week do you have to work too not be considered not lazy?

    Because, the thing is, you know they aren't lacy. They're working their fingers to the bone, and have much shittier and shorter lives than middle class people. Calling them lazy (or stupid or unlucky or whatever) is how you rationalize the fact that you're unwilling to accept any inconvenience it might cause you to help them.

    In this scenario -- aka, the real world, the world we are in right now -- they are working harder than the rest of us are, for less money.

  • It's not just the trivial things themselves -- it's also the idea that admins will have to police their users for trivial missteps, under threat of defederation, so no one will want to run a server.
