The trends for HS and Dropout are also negative. To me it implies education across the board is getting worse (assuming IQ is a good measure of “good” education).

> But most people aren't YouTubers. In my experience, people who aren't into tech usually have no idea their upload speeds are any slower than their download speeds, much less 25 times slower.

People who aren’t into tech aren’t trying to fine tune Llama2 and then upload it to a cloud machine

That’s interesting. I thought maybe it’s a resource constraint issue, where companies prioritise investment in other areas and do the minimum to “get certified” but it sounds like finding a good provider can be extremely difficult.

What a shame, HackerNews typically has more insightful comments than garbage like this.

Edit: thanks to everyone who wrote some insightful responses, and there are indeed many. Faith in HackerNews restored !

From my understanding as a non security expert:

Pentest comes across more as checking all the common attack vectors don’t exist.

Getting out of bed to do the so-called “real stuff” is typically called a bug bounty program or security researching.

Both exist and I don’t see why most companies couldn’t start a bug bounty program if they really cared a lot about the “real stuff”

The true failure is government. Mozilla shouldn’t have to lead this. The prosecutor should be the regulator.

No, because he is not telling you.. but he might tell someone he knows or cares about ?

Or his descendants might find a reference to it or figure out it was him ?

Bringing up lack of access to sanitation hardly matters in this context.

Almost everything can be deemed as not worth doing because we need to fix sanitation first.

The author of the post is probably implicitly trying to say ‘everyone [who can] should’.

The person who posted about sanitation and taking “everyone” to mean literally everyone in the world, is being overly pedantic in my opinion.

Less than 50% doesn’t qualify as most if the statement is about something binary and mutually exclusive.

If more than or equal to 46% qualifies as most, then both the statements would be correct:

(1) Most people don’t have access to sanitation.

(2) Most people do have access to sanitation.

That wouldn’t make logical sense.

On the subject of paying twice, it’s always irked me that we have income tax and then sales tax on the taxed income.
