So then, you know what you are doing? That post isn't the defense you thought it was, tbh.

You see a similarity in a post you think is trolling to yours, and then post it... then you're the one comparing your own post to trolling.

I don't know why I'm replying to someone who takes such a hostile tone. "have the last word" is a great idea, you can go for it.

The context seems to be lithium vs liquid fuel, with regards to passenger injury and/or road surface.

First responder needs are a third, somewhat separate/somewhat related concern. You seem really intent on "being right" and aggressive about something, literally anything.

I encourage you to line up and then bundle up your thoughts on this matter, and present them here because, externally, you seem to be all over the place. Also, I don't really feel like further engaging with hostility while it's still morning.

Yes, I agree. Jacquesm, I feel like you're being really aggressive over a really minor, and frankly, inconsequential point.

Actually, I do :)

The papers written about HIBP, one of which I contributed to, address some actual problems. but this isn’t one of them

Yes, that is different than a security violation. This is a privacy (trust) violation.

in defense of frenck, this is actually a very secure way to perform the task. swiss cheese alignment won't happen because of this

however

it's also a feature transmitting information in a product that bills itself as being offline. imo it's a (minor) privacy violation, not a security violation.

What was weird about the claim exactly?

Soft power was absolutely important before World War II. Obviously. Was that the claim you’re referring to? Because I didn’t say anything about before World War II.

And no, it’s not something you can easily create a precise metric for. But many historians agree that America was extremely effective.

I wonder if you read the article or even some of the other insightful quotes in here? Passkeys that require attestation will be part of the reason why

Could you provide some examples? I’m genuinely curious.

I have come to the comfortable conclusion that in 20 years I will have two computers. One is my phone, used for buying stuff, banking, etc.

and the other is a laptop, capable of doing none of that

I didn’t say the UK wasn’t effective. It very much was.

Trump was right about one thing. He said we’d be winning so much we’d get tired of winning.

He says we’re winning and I’m tired of it. So i guess that’s another win for Trump!

> the UK is the most powerful Empire to ever have existed

the word "powerful" isn't really a great choice, because no empire has had the reach of ability as the USA. The USA also used soft power much more effectively, even if the UK reigned over more people.

Per capita largest, maybe? At one point, 1/4 in people in the world were UK subjects.

> An ambulance was seen arriving at the prison where Pike was to be executed and then leaving. Medical aid was being administered, according to online federal court records.

So they tried to kill her and then provided medical aid? What the fuck are we doing as a country. Goddamn.

To be clear, you meant something different than you typed, and that’s my problem somehow?

Great, have a nice day. I think we’re done here
