well but deletion isn't what even those "security nerds" would have expected...

Security nerd here. I would have expected it. But only in the sense that I have no faith in this industry to write secure software and protect from data loss.

I keep hoping better liability laws will force management to support doing it the right way, if not anything else than avoid hefty fines.

well math you can run Lean...

but for bio... I don't think we have 99.999999% accuracy simulation, and experiments aren't "0.00001 cent"

so we have to rely a lot on existing data or pay a lot


well if someone picks up from junkyard or second-hand, I don't think EULA can even apply for them...

UNLESS the first buyer suddenly pops up and recites the EULA for them and have the agreement got right


well technically, yes and no

if I patent a microwave and specify exactly how it works, that part can't be trade secret

BUT if my trade secret is on using ruby diamond for deluxe premium microwave lazor THAT isn't specified on the patent, well that be a trade secret

but trade secret CAN ONLY BE PUNISHED IF someone insider leaks the info -- not much can be done if some junk collector finds out about the ruby stuff


case in point: some youtuber recently reverse engineered the coca-cola formula

hmm but can they actually get the coca?

coca-cola's coca is the coca as in cocaine (literally)

so I heard DEA has some really strict controls on that coca producing facility (so it doesn't produce cocaine)


He used fenchol (a basil-like aroma), tea tree oil and tannins to replace coca leaf extract. Without tea tree oil, it did taste substantially different from coca-cola and more like Pepsi, and without tannins it was more like diet coke.

Coca isn't blanket-illegal. It's just very-heavily restricted in the States. (But not that restricted: My regular dentist is licensed to prescribe cocaine. At a federal level, it's less-restricted than the devil's lettuce is.)

Coca-Cola buys spent coca remains, after they've had the party powder components extracted from them. This product is not particularly restricted.


Right.

But lawyers are prone to using scary phrasing, even if that phrasing has no bite, and are free to write strongly-worded letters.

"I see that you've been publishing the privately-held, trade secret tomato processing technique I developed -- on the Internet! Now, tomato processors everywhere can see it! I'm really pissed! I demand that you stop doing this immediately! In fact, if you want a full enumeration of whar I really think about the terrible things you're doing, then I further demand that you pay me $25,000 for that effort!"

...it's got no bite, but it's a letter. It can be drafted and sent.

(It can also be ignored upon receipt.)


idk so Tiananmen Square 1989 isn't a massacre?

if I was given this much easy task on congress hearing, I'd just say it with megaphone and take the lead from there

why is it difficult to say some fact?

is it difficult for you to say so?


Because he isn't from China. It's racial stereotyping that everyone that looks a certain way is a threat to America. It's dangerous especially when violent attacks on Asians in the United States have skyrocketed as a result of this kind of discourse.

Change the race and ethnicity and tell me that it's okay.

Why can't you admit that this is yellow peril?


yeah as an east-asian, I find it really hard to believe that THAT lady is attractive...

hell that's the typical "before" face of countless plastic surgery hospitals -- provides a great contrast to the "after"


You don't bait a honeypot with supermodels

Of course you do, almost exclusively, name one expose in last 20 years where high profile honeypot wasn't initiated by some 20-30 year old. This isn't WWII or Cold War where age gap matters, this degenerate 2000s, it's like always some leggy soviet goldens showering on daddy for leverage... except when it comes to Chinese then it's old madam... despite all the yellow fever going around and Jensen signing tits. Like successful Chinese men cheating with 20 yo side piece as apple pie tier accepted phenomenon. Somehow China, a country with unlimited seductress sends a... 6/10, looks like >40yr old to a thirsty leather jacket wearing Chinese CEO that signs tits.

hmm why not make some fake-users just for this stuff?

you mean like daemon?

> Is this not exactly why banks have to deposit X amount outside their doors?

Sorry, what do you mean?

-- think that's referring to bank deposit insurance schemes...


In Europe there are CoCo bonds used to meet capital requirements - various ways of providing layers of protection in case things go wrong.

US banks tend to meet AT1 requirements by issuing preferred shares.

Binance's approach seems to be based on vibes and a vague promise


idk those reviewers must be bonkers if they actually said "larger screen is not great for productivity"

well of course larger screen is fking great for productivity

try reading book on iphone SE vs ipad mini

and then try taking scribbing on pdf slides with ipad mini vs galaxytab ultra (14.6inch)

you must have really good working memory to remember all the relevant context NOT shown in the screen with that iphone SE

(I noticed this because I read same stuff, but understood less stuff with that iphone se vs galtab ultra)

my only complaint is ultra tabs not getting bigger: I want 16+ inch scribble note


I think part of the issue was that it encourages media consumption, which can be bad for productivity.

I also think they were not comparing it to an iPhone SE.


well with youtube shorts optimized for really-small screens while lectures aren't...

small screens actually encourages the worst attention-seeking media consumption


well that's cheaper than expected!


the periodic terms and conditions updates are hell though.
