  • The problem with the democrats is that they are too honest and don’t play dirty.

    They should have lied and told the public what they wanted to hear with no intention of actually honoring their promises, just like the republicans.

  • There’s also some stupid UX choices that show they simply don’t give a fuck. On the Steam Deck when you want to update something and you don’t have enough space it simply says “not enough free space”. What use is that to me? Tell me how much you need!

  • The way it works here (the Netherlands) the monthly cost for the connection to the grid depends on the maximum current and number of phases.

    Some examples: a 1 phase 1A connection costs €11,12 per month, 3x 25A costs €168,99 , 3x 80A is €408,94 (there are other capacities available with different rates).

    To me this seems like a fair way of doing it, someone who draws more power (or higher peak power) needs a beefier hookup and that requires beefier and more expensive equipment and cables.

  • If you have the entire code, not just some part, as most companies do when go Open Source (not free software), then you don't have to worry about unknown behavior because everything is in the source.

    Hahaha, good joke

  • Doesn't this sort of bypass the whole point of encryption in the first place?

    No, homomorphic encryption allows a 3rd party to perform operations on encrypted data without decrypting it. The resulting answer is in encrypted form and can only be decrypted by whoever has the key.

    Extremely oversimplified example:

    Say you have a service that converts dollar amounts to euros using the latest exchange rate. You send the amount in dollars, it multiplies by the exchange rate and then returns the euro amount.

    Now, let’s assume the clients of this service do not want to disclose the amounts they are converting. What they could do is pick a large random number and multiply the amount by this number. The conversion service multiplies this by the exchange rate and returns the ridiculously large number back. Then you divide thet number by the random number you picked and you have converted dollars to euros without the service ever knowing the actual amount.

    Of course the reality is much more complicated than that but the idea is the same: you can perform operations on data in its encrypted form and now know what the data is nor the decrypted result of the operation.

  • Yay

  • I don’t close tabs, I just open new ones for the next project.

    Someday a archeologist will be able to write a paper on life in the 21st century after excavating my collection of open tabs.

  • The OP mentions he uses Comcast, which is an American ISP. I myself live in ‘socialist’ Europe and I can choose from 13 different ISP on fiber alone. Surely OP who lives in ‘free-market’ USA must have an unimaginable number of options.
