I’m sorry dang. I’ve gone too far. I’ll take a break for a while.

Yeaaah don’t use ECB.

AEAD or gtfo

What did the Roman’s ever do for us? :-) I agree with what you are saying.

We will never know where would have been if it wasn’t for the iron grip of the Christian church on western civilization for 1200+ years, but the secularization of society in the last 200 does indicate that we made rapid progress in medicine, human rights and science/technology when no longer were bound by the control structures of the church.

Narrator: they were.

Absolute truth. Lol. Buddy. God doesn’t exist, you have been lied to all your life by controlling beings who wish to fill you mind with ancient fairy tales to keep you in submission. Religion is a refuge for the ignorant.

Hacker news is not the place to be spreading fear, it is a house of science and engineering. We like logic, and freedom. You are advocating for ignorance and superstition.

Not a good idea. Uhh, not expensive enough. They spend more anyway. 0days suitable for targeted surveillance go for 10-25x that.

Please go back to 1400 in your time machine. Those of us who live in the 21st century have no interest in your medieval fantasies.

The only controversy is that your parents, your peers have totally warped your world view to remove compassion, logic and reason. If it wasn’t so such a deadly result for the rest of us, I would say it was sad. But we must not be sad, me must call out a destructive though process that actively regresses humanity and ensure that it cannot harm others.

Thanks, sanity is overrated anyway.

Why indeed, I know how I consume media.

I support a wide range of monetization strategies and access to content by the most amount of people.

And Usury was well known to the ancients as one way to destroy a society.

Rent is not the basis of savings through investment, yield is; of which rent is one kind. Renting a movie at blockbuster made sense in the 90s as plastic shells of magstripe were a scarce good. Today, literally millions of devices could stream their entire lib for free via ad supported streaming apps.

We live in different times. Holding on to artificial constraints for old-times business model nostalgia will look so quaint in a few decades.

Uber and AirBnB didn’t get to where they are today without breaking a few laws and regulations. Archiving the digital legacy of our planet is far more important than imaginary property fantasies.
