If Linus had only ever made git, he'd have gone down as one of the greats.

As opposed to also having made the most used kernel in the world?

Yes, but as long as we don't self-destroy, I'm pretty certain we'll master it. The achievements of humanity are already remarkable. I mean, being able to split atoms and safely harness the produced energy is pretty incredible. Fusion, which seems impossible in many aspects, is closer and closer to our grasp every day. I am convinced that interstellar travel in a reasonable time for humans will be achieved eventually. But of course not in our lifetime, far from it.

I will disagree on the RAM scanning being easier. It is my opinion that the weakest link here is the password store.

The security hole here is a password management system that can work without external secret. It is shocking that this is still common practice and that people use them.

Or simply... Make it encrypted with a password. That simple.

Reddit is an unreliable source but not to be dismissed just because it is reddit. There is a higher chance of having a good source from reddit than from randomwebsiteabouttopic.com.

Again, it is not arbitrary, it is based on what we understand of sentience. Nothing arbitrary about it.

No. Hard to define, sure, but definitely not arbitrary. Plenty of research on the topic of sentience.

This, rather than building new fission reactors, we should fund research on fusion. It is really promising, and addresses all the biggest issues of fission.

For a small to medium company it's not necessarily worth it.

The only people terrorised by property damage are rich assholes... So makes sense that the definition widened.

And yet the trend in cities like Paris is to move to these type of roads instead of asphalt... You should call them, tell them they're wasting their money

Your "low" standard of living is not low at all for most countries. So, yes, lowering that standard is necessary if you want to leave.
