Happens to me once every few months. It always turns out to be a smell from outside that’s made its way into my apartment. Usually someone’s beat-up, overheating car being parked under my window.
Oh I know, I’m talking about the same thing. It usually happens to me when I’m sitting in my simracing rig which is next to my PC and a window. I’ll be worried thinking my GPU or wheelbase has started burning when in reality it’s an overheated car radiator or something right out my window.
Well really what caused that is the socialist/communist revolutions of the early 20th century.
Massive reforms (e.g. the new deal, introduction of Social Security, recognition of union rights, etc) were made in capitalist countries (along with massive anti-communist propaganda) in order to stop the spread of revolution. These were TEMPORARY concessions that we have seen wither away slowly since then. A little cut here, a program cut there, union rights weakened a bit with this law or that.
Capitalism with the unionization rate of that time would be much better than what we have today.
True. And the taxes: Eisenhower individual income above $200,000 was taxed at 90%, above $300,000 at 91%, and above $400,000 at 92%. That’d trim Musk Bezos etc. down to size, fund education, fund social security etc.
Corporate taxes topped out at 52% - the tax rate was 30% for the first $25,000 in profits that a company made, and 52% for anything over that amount.
Even with inflation taken into account - $300,000 in 1950 = $3,772,843.22 in 2023… entire generations have been robbed by the right wing.
You’d have to sit there for 8 minutes converting all of the “measurements”, figure out how much is in each package, and then only after doing it for all rolls and brands, you’ll be able to compare.
Easy math, but takes time. No one said it’s hard. It’s just time consuming.
There is no standard roll of toilet paper so it’s impossible to compare that way between brands. That’s why everyone says to look at how many square feet are in the package.
I’d argue its in their best interest for it to be as secure and widely used as possible. Can’t have other govs peeking (every lock can be lockpicked yadda yadda) and can’t have people instantly know its the US military when someone accesses Tor.
Exactly. And if you want to catch bad guys, you can build honeypot websites (or take over bad ones, like law enforcement did with several dark markets) and work on deanonimyzing visitors there.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(network)Not NSA and no backdoor so far. It’s not needed, control enough hops and you can trace a lot and even deanonymize clients. Tor has it’s weaknesses, maybe implemented just for that. But afaik they’re mostly caused by design.
Just saying, just because something is open source doesn’t mean it has no vulnerability or backdoor in it’s code.
There is plenty of example of vulnerabilities that existed for years in major open source projects. And there is definitely people that discover some zero day and straight up sell them and stay quiet.
If you look at some of the businesses in the market of zero day vulns you can see what they offer for good vulns.
Who cares if the NSA uses it. Or if they say they use it. They gain nothing in saying they use a specific product. But that’s a good way to encourage others to use it. I certainly wouldn’t trust the NSA on anything they say publicly.
You can backdoor a product just for you and still release it so other people you might be interested in will give you cool data. In cryptography this is not really an issue to have backdoors that only some people can use.
