I can’t remember where I read it, but there was an article in high finance tech, where they were dealing with billions of transactions per second and relied on sub-millisecond timing. They still used terrestrial long-haul (cross-continent) microwave tower networks for this because even the time it took to transceive between optics and electrons in each switching segment meant fiber was slower. The latency tolerance for those applications preclude the drive up and down to space.

Nah, the mid 00’s to mid 10’s. The 90’s were EXTREME!

I don’t really think the origin of an outbreak that is spanning a third of the continental US, with the speed it apparently is, as geographically scattered as this seems to be, is a “water system” issue.

Even with the current situation involving bitwarden’s on boarding of a vulture capitalist, the product is still a dramatic security posture increase from storing credentials in any browser pw store. Then once in there, tackle the re-use/weak/exposed issue.

Shooting the baby out of a cannon with the bathwater is peak “I don’t have shit to get done” energy.

I’m 30 years into a technology career, and I can’t wait to retire and throw it all into a lake.

that is the bridge too far?

That’s actually a pretty convincing one…

I was gonna comment: “why kill a perfectly good Guinness” (I don’t care for energy drinks at all) - but then I saw the glass - I must acquire it! Give it to meeeeeee!!!

Ok, you first.

And there’s the problem. All the evil geniuses and mad scientists want everyone else to go extinct, but not themselves.

US law requires any cash transaction of $10,000 or more be reported to the IRS/Treasury Dept. to include the federal tax ID # of both parties/entities, and the deposit accounts involved.

Zuck was always a giant piece of shit. On discussing the information its first users’ willingness to give personal details to The Face Book back at (?) Harvard (?) he said: “… They just send it to me. They trust me. The dumb fucks.”

He was mask-off from the beginning. We’re (society, not addressing anyone individually) just really blind to threats when distracted by shiny, noisy crap.

I mean… If they are “people” for the purposes of buying our democracy from us, right?
