"simply block all routing out of the country" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. For government networks, sure. For civilian networks? It's a bit like stopping pirates from ripping video; how do you deal with an attacker that ultimately can gain some form of access? Even in North Korea external media can be smuggled in.
Those groups care about whether millions of computers are vulnerable, likely including your computer. If "immediate public disclosure" was done in all cases every vuln would be exploited and patches would be much lower quality. Shortening the disclosure timeline might be a good idea, 90 days is starting to feel long.
Being vulnerable is not the important part.
They have been vulnerable for years.
The problem is the probability of being exploited.
If everyone knows about the exploit details before a proper patch is available the number of exploited systems will skyrocket
That was my first comment in the thread. I'm not bullying you; if you don't want people to challenge your statements then you came to the wrong place ;-)
You are engaging in bad faith when you act like I only have the belief I have because I don't understand yours yet. Don't comment if you can't respect somebody disagreeing with you.
I got a 10 out of 10 because I've seen these strawmans in center-right arguments before. Definitely promotes thinking inside the box; the homelessness question presupposes the most expensive solution (buying the homeless homes) in opposition to annual costs that would probably go down over time. I doubt both figures.
When I saw the first test, I was tempted to answer “no” just because it felt like a bait.
Then was like “no, it can't be that dumb so I did some napkin math and was like “ok at least theoretically that would fit the said amount, even though the problem is far more complex than just a money issue” and so I clicked “yes”. I didn't expected the sheer dumbness of the argument being made in the answer (nobody talks about buying a new house every year to homeless people, come on).
Geolocation to that degree not that reliable and not necessarily 1:1 with jurisdiction or parental intent.
If we're already trusting a parental-locked device to report minor-status, then it's trivial to also have it identify what jurisdiction/ruleset exists, or some finer-grained model of what shouldn't work.
In either case, we have the problem of how to model things like "in the Flub province of the nation of Elbonia children below 150.5 months may not see media containing exposed ankles". OK, maybe not quite that bad, but the line needs to be drawn somewhere.
At $44b, he could have offered over a hundred million people $420 EACH to join. Obviously it's waaaay more complicated than that (KYC, actually building the platform, being profitable, etc...), but with that amount of money you could probably make something significantly better and more profitable than twitter.
Instead of spending a bit money to build quality and low maintenance facilities on land, politicians seem to like the idea of using barges as housing. Particularly ridiculous example: https://apnews.com/article/britain-migration-bill-passes-bar...
The idea that this is better than building the same thing on the undeveloped land AT THE SAME PORT THEY HAVE THE BOAT is absurd. Water eats everything.
