Aren’t C-Suite already liable for illegal actions? I know for sure that it’s that way in Germany, and I cannot imagine it to be different in the U.S.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 2 weeks ago:
Who cares for your funking CFO? No way he’s the guy doing “innovative shit that saves lives across the world”, it’s the guys below him making a fraction of his salary.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 2 weeks ago:
This completely misrepresents the issue. It is not about working for free. A salary of a million bucks is just insane, regardless of context, be it for a non-profit, a private company or a presidential office. There’s no point of donating money to a cause if it only ends up in the pockets of a CEO who already has way too much of it.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 2 weeks ago:
Those figures definitely ARE outrageous for those positions, or ANY positions.

Nah 4K is wonderful. The higher the pixel density, the better the display (for me at least)

How many support LineageOS? Answer: a lot.
- Comment on What prevents Linux from being installed on mobile devices? 2 months ago:
macOS is definitely Unix. In the literal sense that it is actually certified (unlike FreeBSD, for example), and it is very much Unix-y under the hood.
- Comment on Why limit immigration? 3 months ago:
If immigration leads to more unemployment, then that is an economic problem, especially in the hypothetical case where the social benefits system is getting more and more strained by an influx of unemployed people. But generally, I think that you can expect that the immigrants will soon find employment. Besides that, there’s the cultural aspect that @jet@hackertalks.com mentioned. You could also make the point that the country’s infrastructure is more and more stressed as the population grows, but that is fixable and potentially counteracted by the labour potential of the immigrants themselves (i.e., qualified immigrant work forces can make a large-scale infrastructure overhaul possible that will lead to greater national capacities and a net benefit for the entire population).
Aside from these things, I would argue that most of the other reasons boil down to xenophobia or racism.

Hmmm I love Rogue, it’s such an emotional journey and to me the most compelling and interesting story-wise, seeing an Assassin turn into a Templar and underlining the hubris of the Order of Assassins
- Comment on Is the bitwise AND of subnet masks and IP addresses redundant? 3 months ago:
It’s nostupidquestions after all :( I am not saying that anyone ever did anything worse, my question is aiming at the answer for why the current approach is the way that it is, on a technical level.
- Comment on Is the bitwise AND of subnet masks and IP addresses redundant? 3 months ago:
Yep, I agree. Though one could make a hypothetical argument for expanding the array dynamically when needed. Of course, due to the varying sizes of NIDs resulting from CIDR (which you correctly mentioned), you would need to have a second array that can store the length of each NID, with 5 bits per element, leaving you with 3 bits “saved” per IP address.
That can end up wasting more memory than the 32-bit per NID approach, e.g., when the host identifier is smaller than 5 bits. And there’s the slowness of memory allocation and copying from one array to another that comes on-top of that.
I think that it is theoretically possible to deploy a NID-extracting and tracking program that is a tiny bit more memory efficient than the 32-bit implementation, but would probably come at a performance overhead and depend on you knowing the range of your expected IP addresses really well. So, not useful at all, lol
Anyway, thanks for your contributions.
- Comment on Is the bitwise AND of subnet masks and IP addresses redundant? 3 months ago:
Though I would like to clarify that maybe my wording was a bit confusing. By “string of bits”, I did not mean the term as it is typically used in programming language environments, but rather a raw binary sequence, e.g., the first 24 bits of an IP address, therefore allocating 3 bytes of memory for storing the NID.
- Comment on Is the bitwise AND of subnet masks and IP addresses redundant? 3 months ago:
Okay, that makes sense. Thank you.

- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
Yes, that is true. Unfortunately, as I see it, this tragedy once again reinforces my belief that many humans can be so stupid and ideologically blinded that they forego any rationality and connection to reality. No rational person could ever want Trump to be their candidate unless they had something to gain from it. Almost no one has anything to gain from a potential second term except some schemers and ultra rich.
This seems to be an inherent flaw in present-day democracies. I am from Germany, and we are experiencing the same thing with an alt-right party that is set to win the most votes in the 2025 election, with an ultra conservative party likely being second (or maybe their positions will be flipped, it does not matter effectively). Germany, just like the U.S., is on the cusp of losing freedom and democracy. And once it’s gone, it will be a hard fight to get it back.
Anyway, for future attempts at democracies, I think we need even stronger constitutions that make such stances and policies like the ones from the Republican party illegal, and we need institutions that are willing to enforce such constitutions. Furthermore, rigorous civic education should be implemented so that the populace becomes less susceptible to populism. Finally, in order to qualify for the privilege to vote, would-be voters should pass some kind of (equity-compatible) test every election year that assesses whether they still possess critical and rational thinking capabilities.
But I imagine that the most effective measure would be to treat conservatism and related ideologies the way that fascism / national socialism is treated in Germany. Exclude radical conservative and nazi opinions from the right to freedom of expression and make advocation for them punishable. Furthermore, outlaw all political parties along those ideological lines.
These measures are not pretty, but as it stands today, much of the votership in Western democracies is just not qualified for partaking in national elections.

Okay, I agree with the sentiment and all, but don’t you think that your comment is a little petty when you are not contributing to OP’s question and instead hijack the post to push an agenda?

Not everything is about new ways that capitalism can be painted as evil. There are valid reasons for why gluten free products are pricier, all of which have been presented in this thread.
- Comment on What doesn't kill ya 4 months ago:
Not true. As the other commenter noted, bacteriophages (which are viruses) are released from the infected bacterium through the lysis of the bacterium in question. The death of the “host” is literally essential to their multiplication.
