Given how much control the NSA has over the NIST when defining standards. The NSA and NIST's consistent history of intentionally weakening their standards, and the current secrecy around NIST and NSA collaboration especially when it comes to the NIST PQ competition there is very good reason to believe that these cryptographic primitives are all compromised.

But Tornado is a mixer. If you're outside of the US, and your coin is co-mingled with US-based coin, you got an issue. Granted, that issue is with the US.

Sorry but this is just fantasy. Robots are not even remotely close to being able to replace humans for 90% of tasks. Robots do not deal with uncertainty well and in my opinion only ever will in scenarios where there are very tight bounds on the task.

A robot is never going to be able to build a log cabin for you, because there are far too many snafus in the process to deal with. The real world is too fucked up for a non biological agent to handle. Until we reach singularity.

> simply charge at home/work/the store/etc

This requires having expensive, redundant charging infrastructure at all these places. It works today because far less than 1% of cars on the road in most of the developed world are electric. If 25% were electric, that free charging at the store and work is going away, there won't be enough bays to charge all the cars.

Whenever I hear 'X company is going all electric by Y date' I assume it's either an outright marketing lie, or that company will soon thereafter be out of business.

Most of the information in crypto cases is highly redacted to keep the methods and means of how they track transactions secret.
Some countries limit unregistered IMEIs (ie: you can only roam for a while before they force you to register).

It's worth noting: Her "thing" isn't that data is being collected per se, it's that such data is often used against us. So while it's easy to rationalize it with "I've nothing to hide", the Amazons of the world are not countering with "We've only your best interests in mind, certainly not our own."

That is, the relationship is asymmetrical, to put it kindly.
I have worked in this space - aside from WebAuthN, the spam/scam problem is tough for a SaaS Telco company because anti-spam/scam is directly at odds with a low-friction self-serve experience.

You also have to realize that Twilio is not a Telco, they ride on top of big Telco company infrastructure and ultimately has to answer to big Telco, and big Telco is very risk averse and generally has to answer to regulators. So Twilio doesn't want spammers either because they get dinged, blocked, or marked as spam by the Telcos.

Ultimately there's probably more that the underlying Telco infrastructure could do more to support anti-spam measures but these companies are dinosaurs that move very slowly. It's easy to deride them from the position of enlightened SaaS company employees, but they're the ones in the capital-intensive business of maintaining worldwide networks of copper wires in the ground, physical switches, systems designed in the 1980s or the 1950s and complying with incredibly complex and outdated regulatory structures. It's the "legacy system" of a developer's nightmare to the 100th power.

Having a good flow for self-serve customers to sign up and get going is the cheapest way to get new business, and developers will not even look twice at you if it's hard to get going in a self-service manner on you platform.

However, it's exactly that low friction that gets spammers going easily.

So what do you do?

You try to come up with heuristics and even ML models to identify bad actors early. It's an ongoing constant battle, a game of whack-a-mole where the moles have basically zero cost overhead, no legal entity associated with them, and can just keep popping up over and over and over forever.

So you're staffing a fraud detection team of engineers, you have lawyers and finance people on this, you have customer service for customers who get caught as a false positive - it's all an extremely expensive pain in the ass.

Laundering isn't specific to just declaring fraudulent business income to make your income look real, it's broadly about masking the origin of illegally-obtained money, whatever that may look like. Mixers such as Tornado mask the origin of one's money.

> ...still ended up going down an execution rather than concept focused route.

Everyone will say, of course, that "concepts matter". But the reality is that there ARE points in a student's academic path where they HAVE TO memorize stuff and do rote operations like the multiplication tables.

One can't move on to new concepts in math until the previous dependent concepts have been mastered. Mastery means practice, practice means drills, and all of that is boring but necessary. The best we can do is to make the mathematics more meaningful by tying it to problem solving. At some point many students will experience an "ah ha" realization and be further stimulated, while for some others math will always be meaningless drudgery. For most it will be something in-between.
> is_alloc: If you have to call is_alloc because you don't know and you get `true` back, you still don't know anything, it could be your memory is live or it could be something else was allocated over your stale pointer.

The answer I want is a simple one - is _this_ pointer currently pointing to somewhere with allocated memory? The goal would be to avoid double free, or double allocating (and therefore memory leaks).

> free_all: This is just ridiculous. Now the heap is completely unusable because your memory could be freed from under you at any time by a concurrent free_all.

I think you misunderstand. You could have a (contrived) structure like:

typedef struct{ char* a, char** b } s;

You then have the following allocations (not tested):

s* data = (s*)malloc(sizeof(s));
data->a = (char*)malloc(n * sizeof(char));
data->b = (char**)malloc(l * sizeof(char*));
for(int x = 0; x < l; x++) data->b[x] = (char*)malloc(n * sizeof(char));

Rather than free each of these allocations individually, you would instead have `free_all(data)` (might not be a great name). At compile time the compiler would look at the structure and expand out to be all the free operations as required. Of course you would need the `is_alloc` to test if somebody actually did allocate memory.

I would then imagine a common pattern would be:

s* data = NULL; // Indicate we point to nothing
/* Allocate */
free_all(data); // Free associated memory
data = NULL; // Indicate no memory allocated

Of course one trap would be:

s* data = (s*)malloc(sizeof(s));
data->a = y;
data->b = z;
free_all(data);

Then one would have to consider whether y and z and free'd or not.

It is fully plausible that the poster meant: "hydrogen based technology looks like deserving more attention - especially given that alternatives are imperfect".

Those speaking of a successful experience with home charging describe a very personal experience: many people do not have any "home charging infrastructure" (the car won't do the stairs), nor the same «driving needs». The statement «batteries take too long to charge» deserves referential (and even reverential) noticing of the current standard, which is "I refill within one first minute on the clock".
I think that inflation will balance this out.

E.g. the value will depreciate in real terms but because most people purchase with borrowed money it will not be a serious problem.

No, MITM does not circumvent that, unless you can MITM the TLS connection and convince the browser (not the user) that you're actually connecting to the proper domain, e.g. hacked private keys or malicious CA issuing fake certs, which is quite rare.

For U2F, there is no possibility for a user mistakenly approving one site's challenge on another site, if the challenge request is coming from (and the response would be sent to) https://badsite.com, then any challenge that's not for https://badsite.com would be automatically rejected by the browser even before asking the user anything. (This is the type that is usually implemented through a USB key.)

Despite that — or, maybe, because — my father was a math academic, I did poorly in school with math beyond basic arithmetic. When I was about 25 years old, a friend gave me three algebra textbooks written by an ex-military pilot, John Saxon. In a marathon session lasting about two weeks, I went through all three books from end-to-end and really learned algebra. For whatever reasons, the Saxon books worked really well for me — better than any other learning I have ever gotten from a textbook. Yes, I was really motivated but I attribute a lot of my success learning algebra to those books. Learning that opened a lot of doors since then, mostly because my confidence in taking on matters technical was so much improved.

This is pretty vague reasoning. Rust draws inspiration from each of those languages for something but that doesn't mean they affect its operational semantics, which are quite similar to C's.

The fact that you point to datafrog is illustrative: while it is not actually built into the compiler today, the use case for it is borrow checking, which famously does not impact the language's operational behavior at all! It is purely a compile-time analysis that does not influence code generation.

(For example, consider that mrustc and the GCC frontend are both able to omit borrow checking entirely and yet still produce runnable binaries!)

Of course, the borrow checker is still something that you need to build a mental model for, but by design it is okay for you to get that wrong occasionally, because the result can only ever be "your program still does what you thought, but the analysis proved that in a way you did not expect" or "your program does not compile."
