This is why Japan and S. Korea, as well as many EU countries are developing their own military weapons. They can't rely on US products being up to spec or even close to what is advertised. Instead the US resorts to strong-arming and bully tactics as they did with Saudi Arabia to sell their poorly developed shit.

Which means the CIA leaked it to the bad guys years ago. Everyone already knew the CIA and law enforcement were hacking wifi routers and blaming it on the Russians and Chinese.

At least they're just trying to bribe him. They're known to do far worse which is why it is not safe to work with them. Intelligence agencies and organizations, corporate or not, are just a bunch of thugs and gangsters when you get down to brass taxes.

The environment in the US is in-conducive to high level educational attainment in the STEM sectors. On top of that, the fields and people in them are seen as alien to the US, hence they see them as areas for foreigners and immigrants.

The US is an exploitative dominant culture, favoring aggression, and the like. Many traits that are counter to traits necessary for continued success and development based on internal attainment, versus external acquirement.

The US cannot survive without immigrants due to their dominating trait of exploitation, (at least) as long as scientific and technological development is a necessary prerequisite for survival.

How is Musk going to pull the M.3 out of the Silicon Valley limelight? It has a car image for those types of people rather than for regular honest hard-working folk. At the same time he has to sell the Model S to pull in profits. His other problem is, the number of people who can afford the Model S is shrinking while the wealth gap continually increases... even if he leaves the pricing static, which is why he needs the Model 3. The Model S looks like more like a car for "wall street lackeys", yuppies and hipsters. Even worse, it looks like a car made specifically for silicon valley and US' middle and upper management. Now you know what the Model 3 looks like...

The gutsy move was to leave himself exposed in that market, while no one made a move... but does he want to move his elitist image? Sure that kind of image works to sell it in Norway, Scandinavia, and the US' wealthy class... but he has to fashion his company into a socialist type of entity dependent on the government just like the big three.

I'd say quit, but you're very close to the finish line. One of my friends found out the hard way about how corporations are, and he went through the same thing. It just sucks to work for any company in the US right now if you compare to the better work and social environments in Europe. If you compare to East-Asia it's still better. An example is Japan where their employees literally pass away while working due to their culture, or South Korea where they're immediately put into debt slavery and ruled by a tiny handful of "chiabowls".

edit: Look at YCombinator where their founders are part of that "billionaire" clique and basically helped put in Donald Trump. Them and the entire thing is a joke. They're just a bunch of fakers and liars like the rest of them, and everyone knows it.

When you figure that out, and find out what kind of stress you had to deal just to put up with their bullshit, it doesn't seem worth it at all. In the end you just get some millions, but you paid in mental health and you're lucky if not physical. It's a wonder why white folks don't go to Europe and take advantage of a much better social and work environment. It's way better than what the US provides for them. The US has no substance.

tldr; Make your millions and move to Europe (or Canada) and raise your family in a far safer and better environment. Do that if you can, before the Clowns In Action burn the 90% to the ground.

I'm probably banned for providing a viewpoint that YCombinator wants to censor.

Evidently, CIA Officers are notoriously sloppy and negligent in handling their agents in the east and south east. Just rumours from people who escaped Vietnam, etc... The US doesn't like the Asians and have systematically killed them as part of their institutional organization.

In the Korean War they dropped more bombs, including napalm and experimental bombs, on the Koreans than all of the bombs dropped in WWI and WWII combined. They dropped two atomic bombs on cities full of civilians in Japan. And these are two of the US' closest Asian "allies".

The US simply hates the Asians and the CIA (and FBI) are firmly part of that dogma.

Edit: Just looking into US' history and pattern of extreme aggression and negativity directed at Asia, as well as anyone sharing genetic similarities, no one feels sorry for the CIA or the FBI. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if a vast majority of people outside the American Anglosphere think the CIA informants deserved it, let alone were put out of their misery from whatever shit the CIA and FBI had, did and/or put on them.

Why be a bum when you can be an FBI agent? It would only had been a full investigation if they had to investigate surfing, beach life, and women in bikinis.

"Sir! We have reason to believe the pinko bastards are posing and infiltrating beach life! Therefore a hundred million dollars is required to interact and investigate with bikini clad women, as well as surf, and take copies amounts of drugs. All in the name of fighting pinko bastards!"

"Well Pinkos you say? Here's two hundred million! Now get in the case!"

Many of these articles are missing an easily exploitable position. The key term is "bandwidth" which is the resource at stake. What is being fought over is how to define this "bandwidth" in a way that will be enforceable against the citizen and favorable to the corporation (i.e. "government").

One way they could do this is to divide it like they did the radio spectrum by way of frequency, where frequency is related to "bandwidth". The higher the frequency, the greater the bandwidth. With communication advances, the frequencies can be grouped just like they did with radio, where certain "frequencies" are reserved by the government/military, and others are monopolized by the corporations, and a tiny sliver is provided as a "public" service.

This way would be the most easily enforceable for them to attack NN and the first amendment, as it already exists by form of radio.

* It is already being applied by cable providers through "downstream/upstream" where your participation by "uploading" of your content is viewed inferior to your consumption of it. i.e. Your contribution (or upload) is a tiny fraction of your consumption (or download).

* Also, AWS, Google and other cloud services charge your VPS for "providing" content (egress) and charge you nothing for consuming (ingress). On that scale, the value of what you provide is so miniscule it is almost non-existent to the value of what you consume.

tldr; NN is already partly destroyed.

Net neutrality simply means that all content is treated equally by the ISPs, backbones, etc...

As for the massive monopolies, that was born of US businesses. US tech monopolies are not original. Monopolies are a traditional form of how the US does its business. Just because the founders and their employees where shorts and shirts instead of suits, it was sold as "radical and new" when it was in fact the same old game.

Now that these major monopolies have established a significant foothold, they find it in their interest to remove net-neutrality to prevent anything disruptive from occurring to their bottom-line.

Why is it as the US' population went up, the US' health and food services quality degraded? Observe that the US' own stand-in for government/communist style supplied food services through the fast-food chains of McDonalds, Burger King, etc... as well as the food stuffs supplied by their groceries, contributed immensely to the degradation of US health.

The US "beef industry" irresponsibly used antibiotics to artificially fatten their cattle, causing everyone who ate their products to also consume those antibiotics. Also, the US' own companies push sugar saturated products to their youth without any disposition to responsibility, where sugar is known and has been known to cause serious health deficits.

The US practices culling of their population to reduce density.

edit: People have trouble viewing it in this light. A simpler way is to view it through its parallel in warfare. European and "civilized" warfare is the sudden loss of large portions of the population and able bodied men through massive violence organized by their "ruling parties". "Jungle" warfare is one where the losses on the participants isn't high per encounter, but is very high over the duration of their "war".

Despite the West criticizing Mao and Stalin of killing off many of their citizens, the US can also be found to have killed off many of their own citizens through the use of subtler methods.

For example, as the US' population became aware of the detrimental effects of tobacco (whose mortal danger to health was known in the West's "ruling class and educated" for centuries), the population loss related to tobacco induced health deficits dropped, while other issues began to surface and increase. The observable culling of the population is far more active in the US than it is in Russia or China for example (once one becomes aware that it is more subtle, and more like 'jungle/islander warfare')

Either way they're going to be digging through the emails. NSA and I think the US military is allowed to hack into any communication traversing boundaries between countries. And Germany is also part of the alliance of the many eyed spies. You're either going up against NSA/Military grade surveillance that feeds into FBI, DHS, CIA, etc... databases, or going up against "internal" politics and services that does the same.

We're talking about the security of the lock guarding the door irrespective of the criminal history of a person with the motivation to break-in. The FBI, who have been known to break-in to people's residences were not found guilty and therefore are not considered criminals by law.

GraphQL looks cool, kind of fancy but simpler way to do some complex SQL without the SQL.

Using the business as the root query would be a bit cumbersome, but more like:

   business(id: "garaje-san-francisco") {
    
      reviewers {

      user {

        name

        favorited_businesses

        favorited_businesses(name: "garaje")

      }

    }

  }

If they provide user queries, then something like:

      user {

        name

        favorited_businesses

        favorited_businesses(name: "garaje")

      }

I am a bit lost. How is cryptography about secrecy of the text through some operation, like a function, while at the same time being a system that defines itself?

Cryptography has nothing to do with secrecy at all. It has to do with maintaining the integrity of the communication (or specifically, the message) given highly active and adversarial entities.

Anyone who thinks they can have security through secrecy (i.e. 'cryptography') is a fool, imo.

Well, 'they' allowed door locks to be easily broken by anyone with minuscule knowledge in lockpicking because that is the type of locks 'they' like on doors.

It's going to be no different for "crypto" solutions.

*Part of the FBI's job was to harrass anyone they considered a dissident or counter to their view of what US citizen should be or how they should behave. I doubt they changed at all. It's already documented and well known one of their favorite tactics was to break into people's homes while they're sleeping, or away, move things around... mess with their belongings or persons, etc... Expect it to be the same for crypto solutions "post quantum", if not already "pre quantum".

The US only values lawyers.

Doctors, programmers, chefs are significantly imported from other countries... particularly India and China.

Over 50% of the doctors and specialists visited by myself and friends were Indians. Also, over 50% of the highly skilled software personnel and upper management I worked with were Indians.

* However, none of the lawyers were imported. The position coveted by the US is simply lawyer. A friend of mine had a father who was educated as a lawyer in the country he immigrated from and is one of the poorest person I know. Shame, had they been educated as a doctor or software engineer, then they and their adult-son would not have found poverty as quickly if at all.
