That has extremely high potential for strong reputational damage though. (As we see in this case)

Versus: "The government ordered us to give them the keys and forced us to remain silent about it" - now all the damage lies on the government, who is likely known to already do stuff like that (or at least it isn't a surprise) and will hide behind the banner of safety or national security or something. (Whether it's true or not)

I wonder if there is any significance to those numbers? Is it the birthday of whoever minted them or something?

Per AI, 10²¹ years

Alternatively I would presume you could do it in 1 year with 10²¹ GPUs.

Why would you need to insert a "backdoor" in a cert in the form of a crappy key, when you could just use a real key and provide it to whatever shady organization requested the backdoor in the first place?

At least with `curl | bash` the originating website needs to be compromised. With AI, there are about a million different ways for it to go wrong and blow up your entire HDD.

Something is wonky with your setup... My Jellyfin apps stay logged in indefinitely... Phones, TV, pretty sure even my browser is perma-logged-in.

Not an option for personal domains or small companies, but MarkMonitor is a great choice for bigger companies or critical domains.

You are kind of making my point for me. 181GW capacity is laughable at a global level. Better than nothing, for sure, but it isn't going to solve our energy needs - you need to increase that by a couple orders of magnitude.

It's not that it can't be done on a technical level, it's that it can't be done on a social level.

Pumped (hydro) storage requires MASSIVE areas, all sorts of approvals, and often resettling people. This works fine in China where the government can just do whatever, but in places like California, we can't even approve new resevoirs for drinking/farming water, much less energy storage.

Can that change? Certainly. Is it likely to? Doubtful.

It doesn't exist at scale. At least, not at the scale to support the entire grid.

If it does, please prove me wrong and show me some sources showing that grid-scale storage exists, but I have yet to see it.

I did, and it just lists a bunch of relative numbers that dont even make sense. It's talking about TW ranges for nuclear, but GW ranges for solar, but everything is relative. (% increase, or GW increase. No "this GW vs that GW generated in plain English.)

At best this is confusing. At worst, deceptive.

Only during the day... Nuclear power still FAR outperforms solar at night.

I'm sick of everyone saying that solar is this great solution that will solve all our energy woes. There are times and places for it for sure, but we don't have the battery capacity to actually go all-in on it. (And nobody will ever approve the large-scale hydro-batteries we need, and manufacturing conventional batteries is terrible for the environment, negating the gains that solar gives us.)

It's a very easy problem to solve if you do it right - tie Conditional Access policies to you using the correct browser.

This is what the Island browser does - you can't log into any company resource unless you do so from the authorized browser.

I'm waiting for his house to come up on auction in ~50 years or so when he eventually kicks the can. Will certainly be interesting to see how that auction goes, with the entire process being documented so well.

I don't get how anyone views this as a monopoly? As a media company, they provide entertainment. It's hard to argue that if the quality of entertainment slips, people are forced to continue consuming the entertainment. There are already SOOO many alternatives; everyone and their mothers are starting up their own paid streaming services (Nebula, etc...) and anyone can start a YouTube channel and get millions of viewers if they have good content. (And don't offend the YouTube overlords)

If we want to talk about monopolies, let's talk about YouTube. That's a far larger gatekeeper, and they have a proven track record of shutting people out for breaking their random rules, with little oversight.
