I can’t believe the NYC Mayor Elect hasn’t single-handedly dueled all 40,000 NYPD officers in honorable mortal combat. Some leftist he is.

Ooo A misanthrope, very original. Here is a cool org for you https://vhemt.org/

I’m not sure I trust the kind of person who was perfectly fine with robotaxi’s until an animal was killed. Seems they don’t’ really have a good grasp on the problems of a car-centric society of which road-kill is a very minor one.

Yea you seem to really hate birds and rodents.

But in that “offline” mode, can you join a server or is it local only?

Right, so it sounds like there needs to be a Mod that allows Minecraft clients to bypass central auth, I suspect a mod like that would look very similar to piracy as far as Microsoft is concerned.

Wait seriously? I’ve never played Minecraft, but the only control Microsoft has is an optional(?) account? Without that you can use any version of minecraft you want to connect to any server you want? That can’t be right, otherwise I can’t understand why this thread exists.

It’s inevitable. Microsoft didn’t give Notch a billion dollars because they thought they could improve the product for the users. They bought it because of the number of users. They saw a revenue stream that wouldn’t require very many resources to maintain and that they could also expand to multiple microsoft platforms and then lock behind a walled-garden to sell access as a service. Of course they wanted to confine the player population to servers that microsfot controlled. That is the only way they could ensure that any add-ons/mods/players etc were gated behind their own storefront.

While that may be true, that fact is immaterial. Microsoft can control which servers can exist, and thus they can and will do anything they want. The only way around them is to mod the game so that it’s more like a Terraria model, where anyone can run a server and anyone can connect to it.

An Ex-post facto EULA. Because whatever dumbshit Microsoft acquisition EULA that bootlickers like you want to point to in order to justify censorship 100% didn’t exist beforehand. But beside all that if I’m running it on my computer, your EULA doesn’t matter anymore at all.

Analog computing is a lot different fundamentally then digital. While the transistor is the fundamental building block of a modern CPU, the Operational Amplifier, or Op-Amp is the building block of an analog computer.

As for the pros and cons of each, I’m sure a whole disseration could be written on the topic, but I’d say “real-time” applications would benefit from analog computers. Think feedback loops.

I fully support millions of people not having to work anymore. Obviously we must implement GMI, Universal Healthcare, and employee a giant army of federal workers to run the hospitals, and staff to expand all of our other federal institutions.

The US produces a lot of chips, they just aren’t the consumer market leader. The US also prototypes the revolutionary new processes, i.e. 65nm-> 20nm -> …-> 5nm -> 3nm processes all started in the US. But once the process has been proofed, and it’s time for volume they send it to Israel or Taiwan to be mass produced because it’s cheaper and for no other reason.

Reminder: The Capitalists won the Civil War.

I guess 4chan-uk llc better watch out.

From my perspective more damage has been wrought to British culture by the Disneyification of Winnie-the-Pooh (big fan of EH Shephard here) than by 4Chan.

This is definitely a more important point then the existence of websites.

I had no idea Madagascar was a French colony. TIL. Welp hopefully they become a secular workers collective and not just another flavor of fascist.

Well I haven’t see the arguement for why Quantum resistent encryption would somehow be weaker to traditional cryptographic techniques. I understand that early “quantum encryption” alogrithms were flawed, and it’ll probably be a long time before we get the DES of Quantum Encryption. But all that means is that we don’t have vetted “strong” quantum encryption techniques yet, and should stick with traditional encryption since quantum encryption isn’t worth it yet. If Quantum encryption becomes worthwhile, we shouldn’t have “traditional encryption”, because it will be obsolete.

If the first cylinder lock was easily bypassed compared to my old reliable wafer lock, then why should I use the cylinder lock at all? Now that cylinder locks are better then wafer locks why should I use a tumbler lock at all? There is no added security by using a wafer lock.

You can always encrypt the payload twice if you want. But really what are you arguing? That every time you encrypt something, you should encrypt it serially with all known encryption algorithms “just in case?” Hell why not do it again just to make sure?

A key component of encryption is efficiency. Most cryptographic processes are going to be occurring billions of times across billions of transactions and involving billions of systems. It’s worthwhile for robust encryption algorithms to be efficient and avoid unnecessary calculations unless those calculations demonstrate some advantage. For example PBKDF2, where the multiple rounds of identical encryption convey a demonstrable increase in time to decrypt via brute-force mechanisms. If the standard is 4096 which it was in 2005, you coming along and saying, but why isn’t it 4097? The CIA is using >4096, therefore that means that 4096 is insecure! Isn’t really understanding why 4096 was chosen to begin with. Additionally no one is stopping you from using one million iterations with key1 and then doing another million rounds with key2.

If you identify as an “antifa expert” you are at best a liberal, but more likely an american conservative. Fuck off the fewer of you here the better.

The only “antifa” i care about are dead ww2 soldiers, or modern strictly-anti-capitalist marxists.
