The essential point is that he's 40 and still doesn't know what he's doing (a common problem in any technical field).

This is true until you realize all general purpose languages are the same and redundant. There is no reason to have more than one on a given system.

Ah yes, we should outlaw the ability for people to send money to each other and have civilization take the burden of incompetent corporations that can't be bothered to follow basic infosec practices (let alone whatever product they are

The standard business solution to solve security issues - for example like having all your database in a public folder - is to get a guy to implement "security" (whatever that means) who is 40 years old and is really confident he

I was saying that it's a red herring to go "oh people don't used typed languages because Java programs start up slow".

I know you're trying to pin me as being rude, but no. Your answer is bad and ad-hoc. Just because a language is not Java does not make it magically untested and obscure. Just use Go tbh. Edit: Okay I see the original guy stated Java. I

We live in a world where people unironically put comments on top of every file in their projects (but only the ones they can easily insert a meaningless string into) like "you cannot disclose this file blah blah blah" and call the

The idea of an interface is fundamental to computing. No matter what you do, at the end of the day data exchanged between two systems has to be structed _some how_. E.g., machine code submitted to the CPU, register configurations, C ABI, Py

Replace Java with literally anything else (including whatever Java implementation does not have the issue) and the "startup time" red herring is gone.

Python is just for playing with strings, which is a contrived problem brought about by UNIX-style OS. And other confusing non-fundamental, stuff that just leads to months of cognitive dissonance when one inevitably philosophizes over it: ob

No, you were correct. Some people are helping here and there but overall every aspect of the software industry is an absolute mess. Most infosec pros will not point this out, either because they are tunnel visioned on their niche, are tryin

Heard of him since his DNS vulns. Never read or watched his presentations until recently. It was a breath of fresh air seeing him talk. I thought "this is a true hacker. no corporate BS". Damn.

This is _exactly_ what I'm talking about. You type "directions to adelaide", and you get something about Adele. I don't agree with the sentiment that it seems conspiracyish or "dystopian", though. On a related

You can not use Google. The real problem is when you have to do tax or you go to jail and it has to be done with some smartphone garbage (not sure if we're there yet, my country still has paper filing).

It's infeasible to make sure a server is only accepting "legal" content. I've never heard of a case of someone being jailed because his system involuntarily received some data that happens to be illegal. Normally what ha

But if the token price rises then the node can just delete your data and make a new deal with someone else and get more profit.

Interesting article. While reading about Filecoin the first time, I had to stop every paragraph and think "but what if the node just doesn't give you your data back when you finally ask for it?". And as pointed out by part 2
