meat_popsicle@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•[News, Call for Action] The U.K. Government Is Very Close To Eroding Encryption Worldwide19·2 years agoSupposedly they have experts and think tanks at their disposal to help them in these sorts of endeavours, for what?
Experts aren’t hired to craft or guide legislation. They’re hired to give a pathway to a destination.
In other words, politicians already know what they want and what they’re going to do, they need a way to make it accepted by society and to force corporations to play ball. “Experts” and “think tanks” will always align with that agenda.

All judicial systems are at the beck and call of the well-heeled. Expect jail time - the rich are reminding the poors about who holds the leash.

Squeeze the existing users for cash.
The enterprises will just pay it. It’ll be cheaper than a migration for critical servers.
Corps pull the same gameplay each time:

Call him special for even entertaining a 1.5GB XLS file as a real option for anything.
That’s totally nuts. Normalize the data and use Access if you have absolutely no other options - or use SQL Server Express if you want to be cheap about it and stay in the MSFT ecosystem.

Dude that’s not an Xbox controller, it’s a Logitech third party you’d have fights over your buddies with to not have to use.
Also, Xbox controllers are not used where people’s lives are at risk. Periscopes, drones, etc. but they’re not using them as primary controls on human manned craft.

I get the skepticism, but where’s the profit in using NaCl as a catalyst in pyrolysis? If anything they’d be pushing a new and exotic catalyst that they can own a patent on.
I hope this is as successful in the field as it is in the lab. We have a massive global plastic problem and anything that can help is needed.
