I am so fucking tired of you. How is it that you are a grown ass adult that does not understand percentages. Can your suppliers charge you more than an additional 5%? Sure, they can charge whatever the fuck they want, but they won't need to in order to make the same amount of profit that they made before. In fact, if their costs go up by 5% and they increase their price by 5%, they actually make MORE money than they did before, by *gasp* 5%.
No matter how many different costs you have, each of them does not have to go up by more than 5%. If all of your costs individually go up by 5%, your total cost goes up 5%. That is how fucking percentages work.
Wow, I'm the troll. That's a good one. I actually have taken several economics classes. But I wouldn't have to know that I am right, it just takes fractions which I guess you aren't able to comprehend.
Did you reply to the wrong post? I was only pointing out that the GPs argument that a 5% increase in wages cannot possibly lead to more than a 5% increase in costs. All the other shit you are saying has nothing to do with my post.
Please explain to me how such a thing could happen, I would be interested in learning. Since you didn't explain it already though, I'm not going to hold my breath because you are probably talking out of your ass.
I'm not saying that didn't happen, I'm saying it has nothing to do with my post, which was about how a 5% increase in labor costs cannot cause a 20% increase in overall cost.
lolwut? I commented that his math was wrong and a 5% increase in labor could not result in a 20% increase in costs. You respond to me with something about competition and profit margins. That is nothing to do with what I wrote i.e. off topic. And somehow I am the stupid one.
What the actual fuck? In the worst case, if your company somehow has 100% of their costs being labor, a 5% increase in wages would be a 5% increase in costs. It is mathematically impossible for what you say to happen.
I don't know what you're talking about. How can they do any of that stuff if your drive is encrypted? They would have to wipe your whole operating system which I am sure you would notice.
Well, statistics vary from 1 in 6 to 1 in 3 women are sexually assaulted in their lifetimes, so unless there is one guy running around assaulting thousands of women and getting away with it, there are a lot of people reading this who have or will sexually assault someone.
I replied to another post, but Bruce Schneier has a paper where they show it is trivial to reveal hidden volumes if you can look at the disk on two separate occasions. A large segment of the "free" space will change for no reason. And it is quite reasonable for an adversary to have access more than once given how often people leave their machines unattended.
That's a good point. That must be why whole towns don't rally together to protect star football players who rape unconscious girls, because she was a slut anyway. Oh wait that happened twice in the last year...
It's been well known for years, publicized first by Bruce Schneier. If you can look at the volume on two separate occasions then you can see that large portions of the "free" space change for no reason. Before you say that is unrealistic, how many times do you lose possession of your laptop? Between airport security, leaving it in a hotel room, just walking away to go to lunch, it can be a lot.
We don't need you to do anything except not rape or harass women. If you're doing that already, awesome. But statistically, a lot of men reading this article are not even able to do that.
Men are more likely to be raped (see: prison and the military) overall than women
Citation needed. Pretty sure that's not true. Even it if was, I think men are definitely afraid in prison. The GP was talking about women having the right to be wary in situations where they might get raped. What if I had a plate of cookies and I told you, "these cookies are delicious but a few of them have laxatives in them and one has cyanide. Other than that they are totally delicious, have one." Pretty sure you wouldn't be eating a cookie.
How is "geek culture has a problem with encouraging, or at the very least ignoring, misogyny" the same as saying "pla is a rapist". Pretty sure it's not. It doesn't even say "pla is encouraging rapists". It says that, as a whole, geek culture has a bit of a problem. It doesn't even have to be the the majority of geeks are support misogynistic views, it just means that enough of them are that we should think about it. To me, enough is a higher than representative number, which means I'm pretty sure we qualify.
lol wow nice one. Pretty sure that is the exact justification every rapist has used ever, she said no but I could tell she was really into it. You are proof positive of the thesis of this article, thanks for that.

Yes, that is how percentages work my friend. If everyone gets an x% increase in salary, then your costs will go up by no more than x%.

Um... okay... thanks for that off topic and completely nonsensical reply, I guess.

Says the person with literally nothing to add to the discussion.
Umm or you could come up with a better hidden volume method.
I don't know what you're talking about. How can they do any of that stuff if your drive is encrypted? They would have to wipe your whole operating system which I am sure you would notice.
How does that solve anything? You can easily get a hard drive dump when the computer is turned off.
I replied to another post, it has been known for years that it is easy to break that.

Pretty much every other commenter on here, the people you were referring to in your original comment.
If you're referring to hidden volumes, they have always been a hack and are trivially broken in all but the most ideal attack models.
Not like there aren't a ton of other disk encryption options, so not sure what they would hope to accomplish if that were the case.
