  • Obama and Hillary also had fun with warcrimes in Afghanistan of which they hunted Assange for 15 years for revealing to the public.

    They didn’t hold back Israel because of some moral requirement, it was simply a measured option that Obama took which he believed was the most beneficial to Washington’s interests at the time. He could have easily gone the other way had there been more at stake.

    If Kamala really planned to do different, she would have said it during her campaign. She didn’t and made it clear she was going to continue Biden’s policy.

    She made it quite clear that she had no interest in listening to the uncommitted movement, and the conjured up argument about her needing PAC money more than votes has been proven false because she lost every single swing state.

    Her campaign decided it was worth losing votes to protect Israel, and that allowing Trump to win was not a major problem


  • take some low risk loans and package them together to increase yield

    trade packages with investors and banks

    put those packages into huge CDOs, then make CDOs of CDOs, then essentially gamble on the value of said CDOs

    morbillion dollars achieved

    run out of low risk loans to package

    Yolo, let’s just put all the loans in, what could possibly go wrong lol

    8% of the poor plebs go delinquent on their predatory loans

    2008 financial crash

    lobby congress to bail you out so you get paid, tell everyone it was the fault of immigrants and poor people

    repeat

    Jokes on you the political content here is from the redditors who pretended to quit their award fueled addiction by also joining lemmy.

    Seriously though, compare c/Politics to c/Worldnews or c/News. There is a very large dissonance between the comments shared despite both communities posting the same news info…


  • I thought it was already fairly well established that symmetric encryption is not something that a quantum computer could potentially crack, only asymmetric encryption is theoretically possible due to its use of a prime order field.

    Shor’s algorithm is a quantum algorithm for finding the prime factors of an integer. It was developed in 1994 by the American mathematician Peter Shor.[1][2] It is one of the few known quantum algorithms with compelling potential applications and strong evidence of superpolynomial speedup compared to best known classical (non-quantum) algorithms

    a quantum computer with a sufficient number of qubits could operate without succumbing to quantum noise and other quantum-decoherence phenomena, then Shor’s algorithm could be used to break public-key cryptography schemes, such as

    • The RSA scheme
    • The Finite Field Diffie-Hellman key exchange
    • The Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange

    Moreover:

    The largest number reliably factored by Shor’s algorithm is 21 which was factored in 2012 (ie faster than a regular computer, the much higher records like 48 bit utilized pre and post processing and was faster on a regular computer).

    Even if we go with the assumption that the military is 10 years ahead in technology and can factor 221 with Shor’s, that’s still nowhere near enough to break RSA. Much more efficient to attack all the systemic flaws in RSA, hence why 1024 is no longer considered secure, 2048 is assumed to be breakable by any 3 letter agency, 4096 is assumed to be safe (for now), but mostly the latest and greatest is elliptical ECDSA/Ed25519 (of which NIST has been accused of rigging ECDSA for easier cracking lol).


  • Bruh this comments section is making the wrong conclusions

    Clamshell design was and always will be the superior space format. There’s a reason why the DS and 3DS had so much homebrew, it was practically the successor to PDAs.

    Android foldables have barely scratched the surface in split screen and back screen utility, but the half size alone makes it very nice to carry.

    The real issue here is that yet another small groundbreaking OEM died because Android device development is an oligopoly. Google, Samsung, Motorola, and Oppo simply took the technology the moment it was revealed and immediately made competitor devices, regardless of initial quality, to get investors excited.

    No one was gonna invest in some small Chinese OEM if the big ones were gonna do the same thing and guarantee sales + existence.

    This exactly why Android feature development has stalled so hard. Everyone sits around twiddling their thumbs for several generations worth of phones until another startup comes up with a new feature they can implement for cash grab. It’s so bad we literally lost features like NFC bumping just to match what everyone else is doing.

    If some startup made a phone with the camera shifted an inch to the center, I can guarantee you the next pixel or galaxy will have it for literally no practical reason other than to prevent competition.





  • Poor soul thinks said corporate media somehow exists completely outside of the scope of the DNC as if the DNC itself isn’t just a convention for corporate donors to show up and throw in their demands in exchange for campaign funds and lobbying money.

    I mean I’m sure the headline NYT article about Clinton having a 91% chance of winning was totally some next level corporate funded psyop and not a one of the many thousands of advertisements paid for by the DNC. /s

    No, it’s totally the corporate media that’s after her and has absolutely nothing to do with the candidate that dropped the entire uncommitted movement worth of constituents for $100 mil in corporate AIPAC money. /s









  • This is why lots of software has started adopting SSPL license which doesn’t actually fix the problem and isn’t a FOSS license.

    I still think a new license scheme should be considered though. Giants like AWS and Google have been profiteering off of FOSS for way too long now.

    AGPL has been deemed generally successful in this regard because it has been upheld in court cases and forced companies to comply, which it seems to work pretty great for SaaS.

    The problem is these giants will usually just choose a more permissive alternative anyway. Both MongoDB and Redis have forks that they can use, and GPL itself is permissive enough for private forking being legal.
