It's unfortunate that you're absolutely correct. Mens rea is one of the worst concepts to ever enter the legal system.

Personally, I'd rather fuzz their servers with terabyte after terabyte of garbage, but to each his own.

Since when does TLS warrant scare quotes around the word "encrypted"?

I actually do. I won't be able to say much because I'd like this account to remain anonymous, but my parents are/were notable figures in the homeschooling movement. At least from the 90s-00s, religious homeschoolers were the solid majority of all homeschoolers in the US by far. Many of which are more extreme than you probably imagine.

I have what seems to be a unique perspective in this thread, among a bunch of trendy libertarians. I was actually homeschooled my entire life. It wasn't great. It did not do much to prepare me for the adult world, where people don't really care if your precious ass needs extra time on something or would rather do something else, and you do have to collaborate with people you may not particularly care for. I did not anticipate the need to navigate office politics. After a lifetime being spoiled, I'm floundering. Most of the jobs I've held haven't lasted beyond 6 months. If I do have children, I would respect them enough to put aside my ideology (after all, I hate the government as much as the next HN reader) to not do them that particular "favor".

If you're moderately good at both, in the combined grade you would have done... (wait for it) moderately.

So what's the problem?

Why would you expect that (modulo wtf are you talking about).

You are correct, but "regulatory capture" refers to a different form of corruption than what you are talking about.

Did you read the article? Not only was sql injection found, logins were brute forced. 2fa absolutely would have helped with that.
