Both the main and the GitHub links easily answer this question

Do most people live in cities? Probably they do, but where I'm at, no, I shouldn't rely on public transit.

This is also true for like 99% of the landmass of America.


Some of us still leave our doors unlocked, too.

I've never even had the key to mine. I've lived here over a decade.


The recent South Korean hacker reportedly wasn't a hacker at all, just asked Claude to handle it.

I'm not that kind of hacker, but I guarantee I could be, complete with an abliterated model on my local rig, in a few minutes. Claude would happily set it all up for me, too.

In reality, I suppose I'm about to keep my rig busy staying ahead of the hackers.


Highest percentage? What do you mean?

You've got a capped return for every hour invested.

It's the lowest risk method, maybe you meant that. It's also low risk to beg for money, but there's probably better options.


You have the highest probability of earning $500/mo with a second job. Yes, your hours and rate provide an earnings cap, but we're talking about $500, which is low for a whole month even at minimum wage on weekends. Begging for money may not be as low risk as you think. It's also low probability for $500/mo as a side hustle.

My latest project emails a magic link.

I'm trying not to have any important data to even lose, when I eventually get hacked.

We can all turn up our noses, like the other commenters in this thread, but every one of them is exposed. Negligence is a matter of degrees.


> I'm trying not to have any important data to even lose

This is the way. Respect user privacy and keep as little data as possible, and not only do you become a less attractive target, if you are targeted the outcome won’t be so bad.


He's talking about information, not actions to take

Guess the papers shouldn't run headlines like that everything will collapse in four years, beaches will be underwater, etc.

Climate change is the most well-researched and cited ongoing-event in human history.

If you don't believe it and want to ignore science, that's your ignorance.

https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/evidence/


What's that change about the headline situation?

They've been writing the same "decade to live" headlines since the 70s.

People are jaded.

Your comment is a non-sequitur just to personally attack me for a position I didn't take.


It's a media literacy issue. Headlines aren't science, and people should learn that in school.

Same issue with believing that crime is terrible now, when it's objectively not. And politicians rely on the ignorance of voters to gain power, so they have no interest in making media literacy any better.

> Try pushing anything scientific against the climate change Mafia or against evolution theory and see how hard it crashes

The climate change... Mafia? You make it sound like the group is so powerful. If it were, I think we'd see more change around here.

Instead of a Mafia are you sure it's not just inertia? There is a lot of data and evidence for both climate change and evolution. Any theories going a different direction would need to show some exceptionally good evidence to the contrary if you wanted it to be taken seriously. That seems perfectly normal to me. If you published a paper stating that eclipses were harbingers of doom, I would want to see some exceptionally clear evidence simply because it refutes so much established science. It's not impossible; such change has happened before, but again, only with solid evidence.

That aside, are you speaking from personal experience here? Or are you just projecting? If you actually have a paper you tried publishing I'd like to read it.



Aren’t beaches often underwater, since they’re beaches?

Some are, although many alternate between being underwater and not being underwater in a regular, periodic fashion.

That is misrepresenting what the article says. It doesn't say anything about beaches being underwater. It reports one prediction from one expert that the Arctic would be ice free within 4 years.

This prediction was too pessimistic, but I'm not sure what general point you are trying to make by cherry-picking one article from 14 years ago. Care to expand?


> This prediction was too pessimistic, but I'm not sure what general point you are trying to make by cherry-picking one article from 14 years ago. Care to expand?

They're trying to downplay or deny climate change, without actually taking a contradicting position, because they know that will actually get downvoted to dead.

It's cowardly and intended to further the denial position.


One has to separate the science from journalistic malfeasance. The news is heavily dependent on attracting eyeballs, and fearmongering does that well.

Yeah, that already happened, that's why the regulations and FDIC.

My grandfather lost his tuition money he had saved to become a dentist, in the great depression.

Instead he worked his whole life in a factory for GE.


Telling us nothing.

I was responding to:

> If they do not have the liquidity to let people withdraw money that is another issue, but it does not seem to be the case.


Yeah, temporarily. I doubt that being out of service for a few days gives enough grounds to sue, even merely due to ToS provisions. And that is indeed irrelevant as it is about being temporarily out of service, not having "lost customer money".

Again they cannot be charged for losing billions of their own money, and there is no way to somehow consider the lost funds as "customers' money". I am all for companies getting sued due to negligence when eg they fail to protect customer data, but this is just between binance and the hackers.
