This approach has been tried before. It universally failed, often drastically. Sure, religion is stupid and sometimes dangerous. But trying to suppress it makes it a lot more dangerous.
Indeed. And in just a few hours these sorry excuses for human beings will propose the next reductions in freedom, claiming it will make people more secure, when nothing of that sort is the case.
You overlook that the ones that stand to gain the most in power and money from these attacks are the members of the security apparatus. They have no _interest_ in being effective. Quite a few will just have been waiting and hoping for something like this, namely an attack that did not do much damage (in the greater scheme of things), but now again allows them to push their agenda of more "security", more police powers and far less freedoms relentlessly.
Your stance is so stupid it is staggering. What does banning or suppression religions produce? Right, people that fight back and in this day and age that means terrorism. You are advocating for making this problem extremely much worse.
How many deaths due to road accidents are intentional?
All of them. They are not targeted, but that around this number of people gets killed every day in the roads is an accepted effect of the technology used. Incidentally, the ones killed now where not targeted individually either.
No, it is more like a due to a few hundred million rabid drivers that risk their fellow human beings lives in order to get somewhere a few seconds faster. How that is supposed to be an improvement is beyond me.
This attack vector was predicted by Bruce Schneier and others since all this Airport Security Theather was established, i.e. long ago, as it is really, really obvious.
Indeed. And there is the little additional problem that more surveillance, more extreme police powers, more erosion of freedoms, more security-theater, etc. will not actually do anything about this problem. At all. The means that are being presented to the public for "fighting terrorism" do no such thing and are being pushed by the most dishonest and despicable of liars that have an entirely different agenda. These people are as much enemies of freedom as these terrorists, and they are worse because they try to destroy free society from within.
It is called "parallel construction" and it usually involves law "enforcement" lying under oath in court about the way they found something. Apparently it also works well when not under oath.
Those that ignore history will repeat it and all the mistakes made. Big egos, small skills, no understanding of what others have done and what mistakes were already made. But that seems to be the hallmark of the Rust fanatics.
If we could just put it into the minds of the Rust team that systemd has to be re-implemented in Rust and have the systemd team push for a strict requirement that Rust must only be run under systemd-control. Maybe then these two ultra-toxic communities could annihilate each other, to the benefit of everybody else.
Trigger Warning: The above posting may contain true facts! Rust-morons are advised to stay away in order to not have their huge egos and tiny minds damaged.
Well, they have a "Code of Conduct" and hence are SJW compatible! This must mean they are better than everybody else, and anybody saying differently clearly is a heretic.
Show me the code first, then start shittalking everybody.
That is not the Rust Way. The Rust Way means that you feel vastly superior to everybody else and let them know, no actual facts required. This must be the most arrogant and at the same time one of the most clueless tech-communities ever.
Apparently you also have bad memory and dyslexia. And your creativity in insults is lacking, as you cannot even do more than copy. Seems my estimation of your level of insight is exactly right, namely none at all.
Or rather it will result in 90% earning far less and 10% (the ones that clean up the messes) earning far more. Of course, the 10% would have been the 90% if it was just "CS for those that can actually do it well".
I think you have missed both the business-model of these services (hint: you are the product) and badly mis-estimated their usefulness. Sure, if you have no life, they will try hard to give you the illusion of having one (after all, that is the carrot they use), but the result is still fake.
I fully agree. The thing is while a phone has the computing power of a real computer, it is missing almost everything else. This is an excellent trade-off for the essentials, but only for them. For anything else it makes far more sense to add a cheap netbook and use the phone only as access-point. This app-mania is apparently from people that get bored if they have to wait a few minutes or while walking around.
I have no idea. I have no need for that and I have some need for my phone to be secure so I am not putting any Apps on it, unless I have a clear need for them.

And still, nothing he can do will make this problem go away and basically everything he promises to do will make it worse. People are stupid.

False equivalences.

Might have added a few more victims if some injured idiots had started shooting at shadows though...

Not true in general. Likely true for this case.

Indeed. They are so superior to everybody else that they probably do not even know about the NiH effect though. Talk about repeating mistakes.

And if all people were like you, humanity would still reside in caves. Any good engineer or scientist critically _needs_ this passion.
