Boggles my mind how we all have cellphones capable of forming a massive (global?) wireless mesh network that can't be shutoff/censored (without jamming). Get rid of ISPs.
Get rid of all these garbage social media (government honeypots) platforms that leak all your data every other weak.
Use Zero-knowledge proofs for authentication into distributed web apps.
Use BitTorrent file system to distribute data to prevent a single point of failure where all your data is leaked.
Bull crap. I personally was on probation as a juvenile for a petty offense. One day the PO asks my parents to take me to talk with her to see how I'm doing. She then asked me for a facebook password and I refused. After which she put me in a court house cell for 8 hours and made me miss an entire day of school.
I eventually gave this psychopath my password because I had nothing incriminating and I hadn't eaten all day.
Nice to know USA is literally Nazi Germany but better at hiding their dirty secrets.
The only cure to these people in power suppressing free speech is by creating decentralized tools. All of these platforms have backdoors for governments to censor free speech.
They knew well ahead that this virus was spreading and did absolutely nothing to mitigate it early on. Even if this wasn't a lab leak, they still allowed it to spread by not shutting down airports early on (yet they knew where it was coming from).
People, please stop self censoring yourselves. These morons should be held accountable for the countless deaths they caused.
Anyone else find it disgusting how crypto (btc) was created to give people freedom from centralized authorities and then centralized companies like this do the complete opposite?
Here's an article going more in depth about the shadiness of this company:
So this is literally the same thing as AMD's Zenbleed vulnerability? Ridiculous how these companies make so much money and are completely incompetent at handling security.
Theoretically, this can be mitigated permanently by disabling hyper-threading?
Sorry, I can only make games that are fair to each player. Not a completely rigged game where the ones with most points can stay on top using rhetoric, lies, and financial corruption.
So what's stopping these people that claim to be so righteous by using canaries from lying to you? Anyhow the ISPs and internet backbones are all tapped as many whistle-blowers have already revealed.
Nothing stops anyone from lying to you. In this case it would be considered fraud if the lie was discovered or leaked. Which is one of the rationales on why courts cannot compel a company to lie and post false warrant canaries, because it would incriminate them.
Fraud against paying customers, if they can demonstrate they wouldn't have paid if the company didn't lie. Also competitors if they can demonstrate they lost business due to the lie.
The SEC could throw me in jail. And, sure, you could believe that the FBI or whoever could tell the SEC what to do. We have European and Asian investors too, so their financial regulators could also sue me personally for lying. Perhaps the FBI/CIA/NSA control them too? Gets tricky to believe: the bigger the conspiracy the faster it falls apart. It's really, really hard to be part of some grand conspiracy as a public company.
The concern isn't a grand conspiracy, it's that you've been coerced to comply with the kind of surveillance overreach that US intelligence and enforcement agencies have repeatedly engaged in.
Cloudflare isn't the bad guy in this scenario, it's the hostage.
What made Feynman a great scientist was that he could explain hard things in a simple manner. If you can't explain it simply, then you don't understand it well enough.
Try to explain that to string theorist. No wonder quantum mechanics isn't making progress. These new scientists just want to prove how smart they are, and not how
little they actually know. Thus allowing them to make progress.
Upthread commenters have suggested that Carl Sagan and Jim al-Khalili are comparable to Feynman as explainers of physics. Sagan was good at communicating a sense of wide-eyed awe; al-Khalili can tell a story well. But they both stay well clear of really hard stuff in their popular expositions.
Feynman, on the other hand, didn't seem to have a sense that there was any "really hard stuff". Fools rush in where angels fear to tread (I don't mean to suggest that Feyman was stupid, rather that he was a great joker).

I could go on and on.
