One person can cause a lot of damage, if someone did a few million worth of arson I don't think anyone is going to take them because there's just no ROI on having a guy working for free, that you still have to house and feed...

There was a time not so long ago when school choice was also an exotic idea. Teachers' unions are fighting it tooth-and-nail but they're losing.
-
Also "prison is not perfect but..." is like an Orwellian level of understatement. It's like saying "landmines aren't perfect but..." or "genocide isn't perfect but...".
Prison as it exists in the west is horrifyingly dysfunctional - evidenced by recidivism rates. And not only that but the sum total of what goes on in there can only be considered a systematic human rights violation by any reasonable definition of "human rights".
-
I can concur with that idea, but from the logical direction of extending "school choice" to "prison choice".
I suspect that if public money is not brought to bear in some way, then a lot of mentally ill people would just be thrown in a desert somewhere because while it's realistic to imagine someone building a prison for the unpaid labor of "good" prisoners, the insane ones are unlikely to find any takers.

Yes, he seems to be doing a really good job. Of course there are things that we can't know if they were done well until later, e.g.
* Building great universities to raise up the best and brightest as patriotic public servants
* Paying top public servants as well as corporations pay their executives
* Increasing freedom and reducing government bloat
* Sustained commitment to thwarting organized crime and corruption
These things are HARD, they're not complicated but they are hard. Sneaky rich people are looking for ways to take advantage of your government all of the time.

Like I said, it's not complicated but it is hard. Making a real university system is a lot harder than making a cargo cult of one.

Not exactly the same topic, but something that can and should be improved a LOT is prison. The Japanese are doing a fairly good job of it AFAICT, they run it like the army.
I think you can do a lot better by "promoting" well behaved prisoners into positions where they have more autonomy - to the point of living a relatively normal virtuous life in an apartment which happens to be inside of a wall.
The west has converged on pretty much the worst system possible - it's hell on the inside, but it doesn't make you a better person, it just makes you a better crook.

It's not even difficult, you just take everything Singapore does and copy it. Don't try to be smart, just copy.

I've heard tell that the perp's name is Archibald Tuttle.

The whole purpose of the push to "globalization" back in the 90s was to create so much inter-connection between all of the countries that an all-out nuclear armageddon would be politically impossible.
Ian Bremmer knows this, he's feigning forgetfulness because it suits his political party.

Yes, KYC only applies to money-for-money transactions. If you're selling actual goods it is not applicable.

Any time the clown collective says "danger for democracy" it's essentially an endorsement.
-
Actually it's not, you can run a Bitcoin-only business in the US if you so choose. Legal tender law in the US is extremely narrow, it only covers how money damages should be assessed in a law suit.

The Economist is endorsing Milei

What are the odds it's basically an arduino and it'll take roughly a weekend to get the whole thing dumped out and disassembled into ASM code ?
-
Now lets imagine the backdoor code is all of 20 digits long, anything longer is going to probably piss off the FBI guys too much to have to enter...
>>> math.log2(10**20)

That's less than 67 bits, so if we imagine they sha256() the code before checking it, that's like a couple of days searching with a GPU.
If they're smart, they used HMAC. If they're dumb, it's plaintext.

Someone on twitter said that someone they knew was locked out and Liberty support said to call a locksmith to drill it, so no, they weren't giving out those codes to customers.
Does anybody know what microcontroller their safe uses ? Someone should read out the ROM chip and reverse it.

Hello Mr. Stallman, I have a question.
Should people be taking mRNA vaccines to end the COVID-19 pandemic? I understand the vaccines are based on mRNA "code" which is in fact proprietary.
Is it ethical to take a vaccine if it is going to end the pandemic and save millions of lives, yet the vaccine itself is based on proprietary code?
I think this is a very important question.

Pkteerium now has a mail server !!!!!!!!!!111
So if you forget your password, you can just press "forgot password". Magic.
Also if you register, you can get that super annoying email that requires you to confirm your email. And it always goes to spam. 🌈

The problem is that the dollar is less bad than everything else. If gold could be transacted instantly across the world and when someone sent you gold, you knew for a fact that it was real, then the best thing would be gold. But since gold is way too clunky, the next best thing is USD.
