If it's ok to be so weak that it's trivial to enter like this, why have the lock at all? The cynical (and probably accurate) answer is that it's security theater designed to give customers warm fuzzy feelings cheaply and with low risk of lockout calls and maintainance issues. It does basically nothing to keep someone from taking your stuff.

It's weak, but I don't know if trivial is the right word. Like a bedroom lock, it does what it needs to do. First, the lock is probably there to make it easier for one remote security guy to monitor many locations after hours. They can be alerted when a door opens, has been ajar for a while and along with a camera, see what's going on. Other than that, you also want a lock to help keep the door closed to help keep climate control working efficiently, keep animals out, etc. Like I had been alluding to, when you rent a unit, you're told that you are responsible for locking your own unit with a specific, harder, lock, like a front door lock. If an attacker can get by this lock, entrance to the premises would have been possible as well.

On that note, I don't think the absence of a super strong lock on the front door of a storage place invites criminals. I live near open air storage facilities where anyone can just walk up to the units, like they're walking by cars on the street or in a parking lot. Thefts from storage units are just not big enough of an issue to require additional measures.

dissuading the least motivated perpetrators, ability to add a "breaking and entering" charge perhaps?

Agreed, it's very strange to me that this is being framed in the media as "CHINESE DEEPSEEK DESTROYS US STOCK MARKET". It's a good model, but not so wildly good that it suddenly destroys Nvidia somehow. The stock was (and remains) incredibly overvalued.

This smells a lot to me like someone with deep pockets is looking to get a bailout by framing this as some kind of Chinese threat.

Any time the entire media suddenly agrees on a very strange framing of a story you should immediately be suspicious.

The vibes market

A manager should be intercepting requests for your time and prioritizing your work. There are always more things that need doing than there are hours for you to do them in. They should know what is important, and steer the ship appropriately while you're out gathering requirements, analyzing, building, and iterating based on feedback.

They should also, depending on the engineer, periodically be checking in to make sure that you're on track and not spinning your wheels.

You don't think professional soccer teams are an organization whose main goal is to make money?

If it is, and it probably isn't, they are really not very good at it.

You mean like a multi sig wallet? Has been a thing on ethereum for about a decade now. There are also a variety of systems that allow trustless social wallet recovery and other nice creature features that are required in the real world. The programmable nature of ethereum makes these sorts of systems readily buildable.

But its not bitcoin, so somehow its the shitcoin and the glacially frozen development environment that is bitcoin is what all the get rich quick cryptobros obsess about. I will never understand.

Such things don't count for much if they're not in use. The trick will be getting people to use them effectively. It's more of an education problem than a tech problem.

Also it's not clear that that would work. If I got a call:

> They're gonna kill me if you don't sign this transaction.

I'd probably sign it rather than let my friend die to prove a point to the bad guys that you don't kidnap people on FooChain.

Ok, so you make one of the other parties someone who has a fiduciary duty but not an emotional one. "We don't negotiate with terrorists" is a common enough phrase.

I still don't think it's enough. Then you just figure out who the fiduciary is and kidnap their kid instead. It's gotta be something where the coins are useless once stolen because you can't fake a convincing enough history for anybody to risk touching them. And not because maybe the cops show up, but because the recipient is equally concerned about finding people to accept their coins. The value of a given token has to be tied to the acceptability of its externalities such that a theft is just a destruction of value, not a reappropriation of it.

Or at least that's the only way I can see it working. It's gotta be based on consent, not scarcity.

Given an infinite multitude of parallel universes, perhaps one exists where TempleOS was in fact the sole and exclusive conduit to divinity and Terry was it's prophet. I hope that is the case.

This instance was that timeline.

Well yes and in that timeline and shall we say warped logic, Terry stated that the random number generator is the direct connection to god in his TempleOS.

I just want to thank you for wireshark. I use it almost every day when I'm troubleshooting why this or that piece of industrial controls hardware springs a leak in its bit plumbing.

You have the rare distinction of developing a tool that will probably outlive us all. So, thanks!

He doesn't care anymore, but he kept his promise.

There was the free Ross movement, they promised to vote for him if he pardons Ross and he did.

He apparently tweeted about how much Ross's mum supported him during the campaign.

But my source for all this info is reddit

If he wants to make the most of his next/last four years as president, then he needs to keep his supporters happy enough to vote in Republican congressmen in two years. Many of his supporters are the type to not vote at all because they think politicians are all two-faced liars, so it's important to keep them sufficiently moralized to vote in 2026.

he promised to free Ross at the libertarian national convention. promises made, promises kept. https://x.com/CroissantEth/status/1856551964156342303

He rarely keeps his promises, so he must still want something from libertarians.

Well what do they have? Lots of guns and determination.

Maybe they make good allies, after the presidency somebody needs to protect him if he commits too many crimes.

If your knee jerk response to any political discussion even remotely critical of 'your guy' is to snap into whataboutisim instead of participating in the conversation you might need a outrage pornography detox for a while.

Literal 'new world order' stuff here. Alex Jones and crew got so excited that their guy was in the driver's seat that they didn't notice the actual illuminati lizard people space lasers being deployed.
