As an outsider is see i culture that is based on winning. Not on cooperation. That extends to politics. Were i live we are used to many parties and they must work together to form a working political system. This working together is pervasive throughout the society. This also means that individual idiots are kept in check.

Unfortunately no right to audit. So deletion is a pinky promise.

Not sure if i get your complete message but even generally intelligent beings (humans) can be confused so i have really no hope for the current state of mixing streams. This was a problem already inearly telephone (captain whistle)

I don't think senators will do a lot seeing the state of us politics at the moment (European perspective).

They did the same by banning strong encryption. Never underestimate the stupidity of politicians

Semantics. The result is the same. The cause: no repercussions for missing the system that is in place is a bigger fallacy imho

It's basically converted sand. Most of that conversion happens in Taiwan at the moment. Which is considered, by China, to be one of their provinces and as a protectorate by the usa. Hence the interest in that region....

On infosec we call that airgapped. Pretty secure compared to what is normally done. Nothing caveman about it.

I read (but cannot find this anymore) that the information sent from layer to layer is minimal. The actual matrix work happens within a layer. They are not doing matrix multiplication over the netwerk (that would be insane latency wise).

Those can also be explained by favouring usa/venezuela oil while still supporting Russian politics. For example: in the Ukraine war he is constantly seeking ways and arguments to support putins position even though he is one of the few leaders worldwide who do this.

wokkel — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 12:19:12 +0000

When using Lombok it will use a compiler plugin for this so maven builds have @nonnull generated as if-statements. I dont know if intellij uses their own plugin but they do support Lombok in maven projects, so maybe thats where this is coming from. Afaik intellij has no built in compiler but relies on java .

It's a stupid situation that banks and payment processors force their ethics upon while other companies take the blame (valve in this case). They should just dommoney transfers and as long as the transfer itself is legal should not have any opinion on the parties or product involved in the transaction.

Not divulging information with third parties seems a common theme, even when said business practices are questionable.

What i know from the past is for realtime guarantees ethernet does not cut it. So you might be right.

Use an odroid h4: 2x2.5gbe and a 4*1 m.2 bifurcation card to get 4 nvme drives there. Performance is limited due to ethernet anyway.
