Most folks commenting on this are probably not old enough to remember the controversy. But the original majority opinion was that YouTube would go bankrupt and die, having no potential to be profitable even after an acquisition. This in spite of having ridiculous growth and popularity.
Don't have much of an opnion on him being good at the engineering stuff or not, and not saying I would bet on it, but I could see the logic in shorting TSLA either way, he's distracted, it seems possible that Tesla's customers overlap with twitter users/left-leaning people enough to cause trouble, him getting involved in the first place could be a sign that his judgement has got worse for some reason.
I've seen once or twice people admitting to doing this deliberately to get around brigading/doxxing rules when they actually do want to share the username or whatever - not sure if it's allowed because "they tried" or because it's difficult enough to read that still stops most of the brigading (in many cases you can probably just search for the content to get the username anyway, if you care enough)
I think in the same way we have expensive cars or whatever to say "I have so much money I can afford to waste $x" we have suits to say "I'm so organised I can spare some effort dressing kind of impractically, just to look a bit better for you, my client"
This is a good point, but on the other hand, couldn't any application be hijacked in the same way to include a keylogger/upload plaintext password DBs stored locally by browsers/etc? Somehow this hasn't happened on a mass scale that I'm aware of.
Not exactly, because the JavaScript code can change and be delivered at ANY time. No code signature verification is involved.
An offline password manager is updated a few times a year, and will go through OS repository distribution, with verification of the signature for changes. Or you can download the software from the source website and check the signature.
Extension has the passwords so just need to suck them through a straw. Getting a keylogger on someones machine probably requires getting them to run an executable or a zero-day exploit.
Tried that but unfortunately there are some painful addressing and routing issues when you are subjected to when dealign with a corporate always on VPN. Ergo you can't actually contact clusters which you have to admin via kubectl.
Mostly agree but if your diet is particularly bad, just eating less will mean existing nutrient deficiencies are magnified and (probably for this reason) you'll feel more hungry than you need to, increasing the chances you give up. IMO.
Some companies, you can tell, have realised the word plastic has negative connotations and try to avoid it, normally they'll use the word polycarbonate instead, I think that was what they were playing on. (I myself hadn't realised it wasn't always possible to substitute in that way).
I guess you've heard it before but “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
I don't know whether it's true or not... hard to prove there's causation and not just random cycles of improvement and decline due to luck or external factors - the higher you climb, the easier it is to fall.
I think it’s easier to say those things in hindsight. Obviously, if someone created good times, they must’ve been strong men. If the times are getting worse, it must be because whoever is in power is weak.
I’m more inclined to say that when times are harder, it becomes easier for fortunes to shift, and a lot of the regulations that would otherwise stifle growth are lifted (either because nobody cares, or because the law makes it so).
It does sound a bit like fascist nonsense. On the other hand I do have to admit to people often become stronger to when they need to in order to survive. Look at the Ukrainians. Still I'd rather they were living calm and peaceful lives maybe with a better economy instead of having to be brave and strong to survive.
