Unfortunately the answer here is to not abide by the law. If there is a reasonable way to bypass this (as the cat-and-mouse game always seems to continue), and there is reasonable expectation to not be caught, then I see no moral quandary with ignoring such a consumer-hostile rule.
I'm not a security researcher, but I do believe in the ingenuity of others. If all else fails, this kind of law in my own country would lead me to running apps within a virtualised environment (if possible), or a dedicated cheap device in a drawer with my actual device still being mine.
This kind of checks would prevent you from running the app in virtualized environments too. You'll need the cheap device, assuming it doesn't get too old or its keys get leaked and your device also gets distrusted as a consequence.
You're claiming that the only legitimate use of rooting is criminal activity, which is not true. Your argument is based on a faulty premise in my eyes.
are you for real? no, its the government telling regular people that simply wants to control their device that THEY are criminals and on same side as intruders.
You should personally immediately return any computing device where you have control, this line of reasoning is insane
It does support YYYY/mm/dd which is the international standard.
Curious - in Europe, do you do dd/mm/YYYY or dd.mm.YYYY? The latter should be straightforward to support, but former would conflict with mm/dd/YYYY that's already included.
Talos has it's own API that you interact with primarily through the talosctl command line. You apply a declarative machineconfig.yaml with which custom settings can be set per-node if you wish.
Are you saying that this template is what the article is presenting?
If so I don't believe it applies, in particular because you have stated that only a partial compromise on C is needed to prevent Y and Z.
There is no "partial compromise" on encryption, so this argument is flawed. There is no way to have encryption that "only the good guys" can break. It is either secure, or it is not.
Can you expand? Why is American stimulus not comparable to Zimbabwean stimulus? Personally (as someone not familiar with these topics) I thought the video did a good job of explaining why it was comparable.
>>"Why is American stimulus not comparable to Zimbabwean stimulus?"
Zimbabwe (like Venezuela) didn't get hyperinflation because they "printed" a lot money, they had to "print" a lot of money because they get hyperinflation (1).
The video actually mention this in all the examples that use, it's only that it get the conclusions wrong. If you destroy the productive capacity of a country, you are going to get inflation, that's inevitable. That's not what happened in the USA.
The authors of the video, also, don't understand the difference between adding bank reserves (not inflationary beyond a point) and fiscal stimulus (which can be inflationary beyond a point).
The good thing is that, maybe, in the future, when hyperinflation doesn't happen this time, I will not have to hear this nonsense anymore. One can hope, I suppose.
This is a very insightful comment. I wonder if the production capacity has indeed remained intact or if it has actually been partially destroyed beyond repair. Some companies will have gone out of business. The products these companies sell will have experienced low demand during the pandemic, but their demand may rise when it's over. Will that trigger a sharp rise in prices? If all restaurants in my town closed except 1 and we all of a sudden want to dine out, I don't see how that remaining restaurant won't raise its prices when it gets flooded day after day. It's a simplistic example, but even restaurants can take months if not years to open (think licenses, contracts, hiring, training, etc). The last remaining restaurant from this simplistic example would have sustained high demand over a considerable period of time, enough to continually raise prices and not see a drop in demand
Not only many business have closed, but the global supply chains are disorganized. I'm very surprised that we have not seen more inflation already and I think we will see some.
But that's not what this video is claiming, the video is talking about Zimbabwean style hyperinflation. That's not going to happen in the USA or the EU. Those are very powerful economies with a productive capacity like have never seen before in the history of humanity.
Actually, I think that even if in the short term we see some inflation in the Euro-zone, in the middle term we will see deflation and grow far below the USA because, as always, the masters of the Euro will refuse the needed fiscal stimulus.
Yeah the video is just an ad for a product trying to get peoples attention. I also expect to see inflation and have slightly increased my real estate debt accordingly
> The good thing is that, maybe, in the future, when hyperinflation doesn't happen this time, I will not have to hear this nonsense anymore. One can hope, I suppose.
I wouldn't hold your breath. Inflation doomsday predictors have been at it forever. We didn't see hyperinflation during the 2008 stimulus. That hasn't stopped people from yelling about it this time around.
The difference between Zimbabwe printing a ton of money and us printing a ton of money boils down to social capital, cultural capital, political capital & influence. The US has all of these in spades, which Zimbabwe never had. This allows the us to exert an outsized amount of influence on shaping the story, which in turn allows it to print money with impunity.
We need publicly created money because all money is ultimately publicly created - all the money any of us earns was created by the US government.
"Printing money with impunity" is a loaded phrase if ever there was one. Behind it is a whole narrative and belief structure which thinks money is something other than a unit of account, that has to be "earned" even by the entities that issue it, or somehow tied to other tangible assets. This is a bogus understanding of money, imo. Warren Mosler explains this in a variety of books and YouTube presentations.
Maybe that's kinda right, but i really comes down to production. You can't have hyperinflation if you're producing enough. You can have a big inflation, but not the venuezela kind.
And if your country is producing as much as the US is producing, you should not fear hyperinflation.
Tangent: Money supply is an adjustment variable, and most government don't even have direct power over it (not even China). more than 90% of all euros are created through loans. Consummation loans alone created more money that European stimulus package.
Mugabe printed so much money that it was a strain on the world's money-printing presses, and Zimbabwe is a small country. Doing something comparable for an economy as big as the US... I don't think so. Logistically probably impossible even though only a little money is cash, and the attempt would IMO run that "social capital, cultural capital, political capital & influence" down to Mugabe-like levels.
Even though the US may be the country with the largest ability to do that kind of thing, its ability does not stretch that far.
As I understand it, reflationing is fine provided you have a strong sovereign currency so you aren't at the mercy of the international forex markets. The US ticks this box, therefore it can pump out new money without the same risk of hyperinflation.
ZMB OTOH probably had a weak currency and an economy largely dependent on imports. Therefore when they started printing money it became worthless since it was a proxy for a currency they didn't control (the USD), and a strengthening of the USD would have a huge impact in reducing confidence in the ZMB dollar. A similar thing happened in Venezuela and Post-WW1 Germany I think.
For a better explanation see Big Debt Crises by Dalio.
That's the root cause of ZMB hyperinflation. As well as droughts and a reshuffling of agricultural land that did not benefit anyone, decreased overall production and created food stress.
> Why is American stimulus not comparable to Zimbabwean stimulus?
Well, for one thing, the US wasn’t engaging in a massive and extended campaign of expropriation of productive assets that was destroying the core of the economy over a period of years while printing orders of magnitude more dollars than had ever existed, when inflation by traditional measures waa already significant when the money printing started.
The value of money is strongly tied to consumer trust. Zimbabwe is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and the government literally created money out of thin air to fund its wars, increase their salaries, and to protect its regime.
The team turned to Parliament's locksmith for help and, with some difficulty, he was able to open the wood panel door, to reveal a tiny, stone-floored chamber, with a bricked-up doorway on the far wall.
