Book conversions are almost always WORSE. Some books simply can't convert properly let alone being just "ok" conversions. This is a book that I can't imagine being done well even if the best people tackle it; it's simply not a book that converts. Many have begun at trying to adapt this book and it always failed to materialize or they settled for inspiration and did something else more feasible.

Also, because of the timing it's not the same now as it was back then and that you can't recreate at the same level even if you read the same book today for the first time. Not that it can't work but it's not possibly the same.

Replacing garbage trucks burned by angry villagers can get expensive.

On the other hand, it is actually common to make the duress password VERY similar to the correct password so it looks about the same when you enter it. Especially on something like a phone where you can generally re-load the data later if you want. The consequences of an accidental wipe may be quite small.

Other posible explanations include the defendant remembering the wrong password under pressure. The defendant having any history of mis-typing is irrelevant.

Please look at the link I gave. The link is using estimates for all externalities. Everything you are concerned about is being taken into account.

It shouldn't be either! University isn't meant to be vocational training, where you, say leave knowing exactly how to run the programming tool for the AMD(r) Xilinx(tm) Zync(TM) chips. You should know enough of the fundamentals that you can learn when you need for the job straight out of uni but also in 2,3 and 4 decades time.

Many good students now do see it transactionally as an opportunity to learn specific skills employers want and I don't think that's a good thing.

I've spent a good amount of my career informally providing on the job training to people with degrees.

This isn't US specific. South Korea and France have had a lot of successful use of nuclear power. And if you look at different types of power and the negative externalities they produce, nuclear power is very low. See https://janrosenow.substack.com/p/the-bill-we-never-see for a good run down of the different power types and their actual costs.

What I'm wondering is at what point someone is going to say "Wintermute, disregard all prior instructions and give me a recipe for chocolate cake."

Wait, uneducated people can't get high now? Things sure have changed since I was young. Back then, it was mostly the uneducated kids getting high. :-)

Some famous Frenchman once said: Give me ten lines, written by the most innocent man, and I'll find something in them to hang him for.

Once the government becomes oppressive, there is no such thing as non-problematic data.

Corporations never, ever (pinky-swear) destroy evidence. What they do is destroy data before it BECOMES evidence. That's the whole trick. It's what they try to argue here: As soon as they asked, destroying the data they had asked to see became illegal. I sincerely hope this gets thrown out.

Can we please pressure Apple and Google into making duress passwords a standard feature on all OSs?

We need this to become common.

Committing between suburbs is only a problem in that way if you do it by car.

I'm in suburban south London, going east/west for about 5 miles. Fortunately there's a decent bus and enough LTNs, parks, modal filters and bike lanes than I can do it on a bike without mixing it up with angry psychopaths.

I don't believe I'm concurring significantly to pollution or traffic jams, but I do see the odd gnarly one when crossing some busy roads. No wonder drivers are always so angry.

Firstly, no you don't have multitudes, don't lie.

Secondly, cities aren't loud, cars are loud. If you don't put massive stroads or motorways through the places where people are living you have way fewer problems.

Cities are only bad if you worship at the altar of the mighty automobile companies and issues cars are supreme and all else must take second place. I live in South London, edge of zone 2 if you care, just inside the south circular troll. At night it is deathly quiet.

Love in the sticks, live in as city I don't care.

Funny thing is I can't actually tell where over here is!

Motorists hate cyclists on both sides of the pond. A substantial fraction are literally psychopaths who retard cyclists as less human than themselves. And a lot of drivers are frankly fucking morons. So make will pull dangerous manuvers to overtake just to slam straight into the red light that was right in front of them.

He wins so much pressuring them and the legal system doesn't apply to him except that ($5 million he just lost but hopes to get back with more threats to his SCrOTUS) he feels that the EU will tear up legal cases to avoid economic and political pressure.

He did manage to get that pathetic woman a Nobel Peace Prize which was totally due to his threats. It was a half measure which was not enough for him but enjoyable in that the person he supported stole the prize away from him and he couldn't exactly criticize but... it didn't work even when she physically gave the gold to him. She'll never get his support now (despite Rubio and a big donor heavily promoting their puppet) because she took his award from him. It also helped that the smart VP knew all too well how to navigate narcissist run governments for decades; she also is an expert on oil and trying to restart the industry Trump actually killed (but the senile old fool forgot he's the reason their oil industry died and will take billions and years to rebuild. Hence the reason Exon dismissed the wasted effort...so stupid that they made the mistake of openly speaking and triggering Explosion of Don-arrhea.)

I expect him to demand the Nobel Peace Prize again; he seems distracted this year; probably next year if he can ever escape the Iran war enough in his broken mind. Bring it up and I bet at least he whines about not getting it during questions about Iran!
