9·9 months agoThe patent story reveals a lot.
Government:
- creates and enforces a patent system
Also government:
- does essential research and doesn’t patent their own discoveries
Donate to propublica.org - they produce a lot of great journalism.
Well, the far right faction of Republicans did already side with Dems to oust the speaker.
That’s spoiling at that point
95·9 months agoDo you think an average person in 13th century had a better quality of life than an average person living in the 21st century?
Is that a “random person on the Internet” take or something substantiated?
Most statements I don’t have qualms with, but from my understanding, “liberals embrace ID politics” seems way off. I could see an argument that there’s some kind of split across people who’d identify as or match a typical understanding of a liberal, along the ID politics line, given that it’s so divisive. Id say liberal as a concept existed way before ID politics, do when that became prominent, a lot of people got split along that line. I.e. Far right probably split 90:10, Conservatives probably split 75:25, Liberals probably split closer to 50:50, while social left split 25:75, far left split 10:90 and libertarians split 1:99.
Hey, at least your average, retarded, left take seems to be (at least from my limited experience here) somewhat more palatable than your average, retarded, right take.
Data I’ve seen suggests otherwise. Care to engage with me so that we can figure out where the discrepancy lies?
I had a Smaturday last week.
This describes stealing better than capitalism. And stealing is as old as nature.
1·10 months agoI was going off of the info at the top of the graph: “Aug 2023: 306.269 | Index 1982-1984=100” So yeah, ~3% for 40 years is about right. Last three years are way higher though, so the average is not a good indicator of recent inflation. Last 3 years is probably around 6% per year, which is pretty bad.
Replying with a more stupid take at least proves mine wasn’t the stupidest possible.
This graph shows 3% average annual inflation over the last 40 years.
Not great, not terrible.
4·10 months agoConclusion
The Equifax data breach from 2017 stands out as one of the largest data breaches in history, impacting millions of individuals. It is the result of several mistakes made by Equifax:
- Insufficient knowledge of their legacy systems.
- Poor password storage practices.
- Lack of rigor in the patching process.
- Lack of network segmentation.
- Lack of Host-Based Intrusion Detection System (HIDS)
- Lack of alerting when security tools fail.
That’s what happens when corps cheap out on IT security. Storing so much personal sensitive data and not putting in the work needed to properly safeguard it. Good IT is hard, but not impossible.
I’ll get back to civ when I retire. It can get too life-ruiningly addictive for me.
