Found the HN copy pasta I guess artkiver 2 hours ago | prev | next [–] You're, a moron, I guess? I mean, you work for Microsoft, so you clearly have 0 qualms about supporting the legacy of a robber baron college drop out who plagiarized actual researchers in the field of computer science, multiple times. Have you ever been a LISA scale administrator? A K-12 level County Office of Education administrator? Have you ever helped patch embargoed bugs in codebases such as BIND, used billions of times per hour by oh, more or less everyone online? Were you buddies with Doug Engelbart? Do you have anything personally signed by Dr. Marshall Kirk McKusick? Have you ever even met Tim Berners-Lee? What about John Gilmore? I'm guessing, your answer to those rhetorical questions would be no, but please: surprise me! What uhh, "world's most popular tools for viewing and modifying web traffic" did you build? Because, this is the first time I have ever encountered you, and I have been root/Enterprise Admins/enable/etc/sudoers/wheel/etc. for the company which runs the cross-browser development framework utilized by Fortune 1 among others. I know a lot of people in this field going back to the 1970s, at least, and you found about the worst wage imaginable to become known to my periphery. Moreover, since this is not NNTP, and I am guessing you are too young to even know what it means when someone writes: "welcome to my .killfile" do you want to have a career in this, or any other solar system in the next several lifetimes? Because I am betting on: you will be in the realm of: no one, anywhere, ever, will want to hire you, ever, again from what I have read from you so far, and yes, I spent the time to peruse your pathetic commits since 2019 on Chromium too. Know spoonm? I helped him get a job at Google, back before it became Alphabet, he worked on Chrome's V8 engine, among other things. I knew him before he even had a commit in the Metasploit Project. Ever heard of Chris Palmer? Because I was root/etc. at iSEC Partners, which is one of the places he worked before he went over to Google/Alphabet to supposedly help with Chrome's security, among other things. How young were you when even NIST got on board with recommending against "security through obscurity"? Bonus: others have already found workarounds, and begun to document them publicly. However, that seems to be begging the question: why make them jump through extra hoops unnecessarily? If it can be "trivially circumvented" then it is, IMHO, better to avoid, entirely. Learn from your elders: “Simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible.”ーAlan Kay You attempting to change the "narrative" and discount others' to fit your perspective, is worse than mere abject ignorance of how discourse and comments function, or did you forget that RFCs built the intergalactic network of computers? It’s down right rude, dehumanizing even. You do not get to unilaterally decide that people objecting to your boneheaded idiocy are uncertain of the implications, when I know quite well how GPOs and other draconian centralized ACL management systems operate at scale. I haven’t just deployed some, I am personal friends with the authors of firewall engines used in places best not to mention by name at the moment and am versed in a panoply of configuration management languages they do not tend to even teach at postgraduate levels, but hey, at least some of them have source code readily available and are, IMHO, far more critical to network operations than a browser has ever been, or will ever be. If you wanted to get clout and attention and make a bunch of enemies from people you have never bothered to learn about, you sure picked a hell of a way to do it, emphasis on hell. I do not envy your karma.

of course he actually bothered to fill up his hn profile bio: I've been online longer than the WWW. Longer than TCP's netflow and ebb. Perhaps you've been around here too? If that's true? Then why do I not already know you? Perhaps you're part of the ewe? I have fought for the users, but prefer not to tend flocks. Hypervisors are old news to me, and I've skewed more than NTP's clocks. If you want to stay chill in any realm of space or time. I suggest you do more than code, you learn how to rhyme.

creamyhorror 12 hours ago | parent | prev | next [–] It's true, his forums had a huge indirect influence on modern US online culture, giving rise to so many projects and careers. Ironically, he failed to capitalise on his influential position unlike so many of his peers who sold off their online properties and disappeared from the public eye. If he'd taken a different approach, he'd probably now be sitting on media properties (or a fortune) worth tens of millions, and minting millions more in cryptocurrency/NFTs. And also possibly have a very different family life. An example of someone with huge opportunities but not the inclination/mindset or skillset to grasp them. (Also, I never understood the absurdist humour of Doom/Mood House back in the day. Weird stuff.) reply

hirundo 31 minutes ago | next [–] "And of course the breeder’s equation explains how average IQ potential is declining today, because of low fertility among highly educated women." In the Heinlein universe, the Howard Foundation runs a voluntary eugenics program by paying people with particularly long lived ancestors to mate with each other. Protagonist Lazarus Long is a product of this. The author is saying that this would work as expected, with offspring gaining around 50% of their parents' extra longevity. I'm a firm opponent of any kind of coercive eugenics. But it seems like it would be a good use of a billionaire's fortune to establish such a foundation for the promotion of intelligence, by paying very smart people to make babies together. But in Heinlein, the "Howards" became reviled and were forced off of the planet. If we do create a particularly smart population by eugenics, perhaps their primary task should be to find a way to protect themselves from us normals. Of course, the first resort is secrecy. So we wouldn't know if they already exist. reply
