So what that he encouraged or developed something, he is not the person who had actual access to this information, he never worked for any agency in USA where he would have to promise not to disclose information, to him (or anyone who doesn't work for such agencies) status of any 'secret' information is completely irrelevant, as it should be.

For example, if I egged on some general to disclose top secret information about some project and then he did disclose it, it would be on the general, not on me or anyone who encouraged him. HE IS THE ONE WHO PROMISED NOT TO DISCLOSE IT NO MATTER WHAT, not me, not anyone else.

I am not a 'right wing', I am not a 'left wing', I am a libertarian, anarcho capitalist, it puts me completely outside of what is considered to be normal politics in the USA by the way and I say that Assange has done nothing wrong at all and he is being terrorized because he embarrassed people who have power.

*this* is what "proves" it? Not the kidnappings, the torture, the murders? )

Yeah, you don't understand what will actually happen. What will actually happen is just more terrorism by the government that is already terrorist in nature. Kadyrov is a murderer, torturer, terrorist, his fame to claim was that he murdered his first russian at the age of 16. Today he routinely murders anyone who opposes his rule in any way, real or imaginary. His son kidnaps and beats a kid who posts something online that Kadyrov finds offensive. People routinely disappear, never to be seen again. People get tortured for anything that Kadyrov doesn't like.

At the same time Chechnia's economy only exists because putin provides Chechnia with billions of dollars every year from the russian budget.

You don't understand what is actually happening there. They don't care about law or whatever, if they hear something they don't like, you'll disappear and be raped and tortured and killed and that's about it. This entire thing about the music is really nothing at all, it just means that if someone *hears* music that is not Chechen they will report you and you will be gone.

Instead of being condescending, why not explain (especially for those of us who do not keep up on hardware)?

You are correct. What Canada needs is a 3d printed AI government, which would be a vast improvement over Trudeau.

1st of April was 2 days ago, was there an editing delay? In any case, there is only 1 Matrix movie, it was released in 1999 and I went to watch it in the theater 7 times. I have heard rumors about sequels but only that, they don't exist, whatever exists is not the Matrix, to make a movie like that one needs balls...

To those who are curious how this exploit works, here are some resources:

The original write up by the guy who discovered the exploit.

The "Design" section in this gist briefly describes the components of the backdoor.

And this is a detailed breakdown of how shell obfuscation is used to hide the exploit.

There is still no detailed analysis of the binary (that I know of).

I wanted a weekend driver and got myself a 2014 Boxster, no way in hell that would have been an automatic, that car is for fun and has nothing to do with any 'retro' crap. I wouldn't be caught dead driving an EV though.

I run a number of companies, I am not under illusion that my companies are here forever, however I also am against government bailing out my companies should they fail. They should be then restructured or shut down, whatever. I haven't worked for someone permanently since 2000, so I don't understand this idea that there shouldn't be unemployment or emoyment should be at 100% and I am against government setting that up as well, as it means unnecessary money spent on jobs that shouldn't exist. Yes, I am against government bailing out anyone, I am against government taxing work, income of any kind, preventing businesses from making their own decisions What exactly do you think a government drone knows about running any business, mine or yours or whatever business? However they can bail it out and create amazing amounts of waste dojng it.

It is completely unnecessary to spend tax money to support any company, be it a bank, a hospital, a private rocket launcher, a farm or a software company. Of course all of this is done, all of this is wrong and all of this just breeds incompetence, corruption and graft. Governments shouldn't decide what business lives or dies, it should be exclusively done by competing in the open markets. Imagine how much money is wasted maintaining things that shouldn't even exist, money that could be spent productively, on things people actually need.... money is time measured in life hours.

Was in, in fact, a prince? or was he not? I think we've confirmed that he IS actually being persecuted, so that part of the story pans out.

Instead we should turn everything into indestructible plastic instead, because biodegradable plastic will release CO2.

DOT.... they should talk, after doing what they have done that raised the number of deaths due to commercial trucks now operating at maximum speed with completely tired drivers due to all the stuff they did since the 2019... the results were as expected, which means 'nobody could have seen it coming' in political speak. They would never admit to being complete idiots, now they want more control over other stuff. They are going to get it.

You don't know me, so it doesn't matter. I fly maybe 50 times a year, seriously. I drive a few cars, I do drive quite a bit in some days, and I have to 'charge' (buy gas at a pump) somewhere in the middle of a day, I have to do this fast and keep going because of business and because of many personal things I have to do. This entire thing doesn't work for me at all. I buy plane tickets without long planning, I mean I buy them and fly the next day most of the time, I purchase them on the way back (I don't know from where I will be flying back), basically this is what I consider normal life and what I consider necessities of life. There is no chance I would have time in my day to plan my day around charging my work car, which is just a mode of transportation and it has to be ready in the moment's notice at any time. I also have a car, that I drive for fun for example, it's not an electric, it's a fun car, I like it. I don't actually like electric cars, I get sick in them, I could get one when they get good but just as a curiosity.

https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs... what improvement in air quality though?

and this is without a significant number of EVs on the roads. How about actually doing something useful, like building nuclear power plants and shutting down coal and oil and gas ones before attacking individual freedoms, which is obviously what this move to subsidize EVs at the expense of freedoms is?
