This crap is why I would never willingly choose to live in the Bay Area. This type of person is disproportionately well-represented there.

I'd take that bet.

The feature isn't targeted toward users who spend all their time in the terminal. Those users are likely already savvy enough to realize you shouldn't paste untrusted text into a terminal window. It's targeted toward non-power users who are completely unfamiliar with the Terminal, i.e. the majority of Mac users.

The corollary is you have to not have too many false positives such that the warning is just a nuisance. Consider: how often does the type of user this is intended to protect (i.e. who would paste random text from a website into a terminal window) "normally" paste text into a Terminal window? Not very often. This warning system would go completely unnoticed for the majority of users in the course of their normal use. When they *do* have occasion to paste text into a Terminal window, ideally, it would *also* not be an irritation since false positives would be held to a reasonable rate. Power users (who actually *do* frequently paste stuff into terminal windows regularly) can just toggle the feature off. Toggling the feature off doesn't represent any security degradation relative to the prior status quo.

Make it togglable and default to "on". Problem solved.

I use my kid's Xbox as a streaming console since it's much more capable than the built-in hardware in my several-years-old Smart TV.

Just ban credit card rewards. That eliminated "cost" will find its way back to CC customers in some form or fashion, likely in a way that (on balance) benefits the folks who are experiencing the most financial troubles.

Fair point. How about: "few people understood that getting inked was as dangerous as we now believe it to be."

Except nobody thought getting inked was dangerous. Now we know it is. The response isn't "sit at home with your two masks and helmet and panic"; the response is "don't get inked".

It does argue against comment, though, in which you described the U.S. education system as "horrible". One difference is that in other countries those kids who can't do math just...wouldn't go to college.

U.S. was doing very well on the reading exam prior to COVID. Math was still in the toilet then, as now.

Kinda feel like "reading" (and comprehension) requires rational thought too.

Just FYI, on the 2022 PISA assessment, U.S. students outperformed their peers in New Zealand, Hong Kong, Australia, UK, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Norway, France and the Netherlands on the reading exam. On the science exam, the U.S. outperformed Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Norway and Italy. Ont he math exam, the U.S. was more or less last among wealthy countries. It's really only math where the U.S. system fails miserably.
