Believe it or not there was an outcry here when fees were introduced for tertiary education. But you pay them using a government-backed interest-free loan - I think it took me 6 or 7 years to pay off two degrees? Still, as I said, even if for whatever reason you attended lectures etc. without having paid for enrolment, nobody would care.
> No one has said you can't distribute the TC source code.

The government has explicitly said that all property and interests in property of Tornado Cash, and anybody found to be supporting it it any way, is blocked. This is why GitHub and all hosting services will refuse to allow it on their platforms. If you try to publish TC source code, you could be considered aiding the blocked persons, and face up to 30 years in jail.

If you build a new implementation of the same or similar protocol, you might also be putting yourself at risk.

> And the vast majority of TC transactions seem to have been exactly that - ways of hiding crypto from tax offices.

The vast majority of TC transactions are for privacy. How much of that is evading tax offices or illegal money laundering is less clear. Estimates put it in the 10-20% range[1]. There are many users that would like to use TC but have avoided it because of the lack of regulatory clarity. Had the US government instead come out saying specifically that TC-style privacy on blockchain is a right that all users should be entitled to, the rates of non-criminal activity would probably be much higher than 80-90%.

> A better comparison is the Phantom Secure sting

This is a poor comparison. Phantom Secure was not an open source E2EE protocol like Tornado Cash or Matrix - it was a private company and network led by a single individual who profited immensely by selling devices to known criminals.

If you think TC is comparable to Phantom Secure, then Matrix and Tor should also be comparable to Phantom Secure, but of course that is a bad comparison.

> One day, any day, at some fateful party with friends, we may need to tie a knot, any knot, and I'm going to pick up one from my mind palace.

A somewhat feasible scenario if you make friends with a certain type of interest, go to parties with a certain type of theme, and diligently study knots like the Somerville Bowline.

(There is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a good deal of overlap in the rope skills and gear required for mountain climbing and, well, the other type of hobby where one suspends bodies from a rope.)
yeah, sure, sounds great... but how to afford a house on which I could put those panels on?
Interesting that this isn't based on lwIP. lwIP can operate happily in just 1 kilobyte of RAM, although lower RAM limits hurt performance quite heavily (can't reorder TCP packets, so you have to wait for the far end to retransmit them if they arrive out of order).
Threes, which is what 2048 was ripped from, is not solvable this way.
Huh, so weirdly interesting. Thanks for the explanation!
The reasons are all correct; in addition:

1. It's very easy to visually check (five pairs of parallel lines) (by easy I don't just mean reliably, I also mean low effort, which is important because you do it a lot - point fingers at the pairs of parallel lines: "two four six eight ten"). It's very symmetric. If done wrong it tends to look radically different.

2. It requires pulling in 2 places in different directions to come undone. The bowline opens if you pull in 1 bad spot.

(3. In the gym, you can just leave the normal figure eight on the rope, which saves the next climber a bit of time. Not a lot, but it's a nice feature.)

Don't underestimate the cost of ORMs. The serialisation/parsing to models can make a significant performance impact.
My first thought as well that it's a massive underestimate. I live on a fishing island in Iceland (Commercial fishing, not quaint little boats like some people imagine) and there are piles of nets everywhere the size of houses, a factory that does nothing but make new plastic nets 2 shifts a day, and we can remove several large black garbage bags worth of fishing junk a day from just a few of the beaches surrounding just our 3km across island.
you probably would have some CDN front of it so some database unavailability would not impact to browsing that much.
This is a false dichotomy. Facebook can't be ethically neutral. "Following the law" blindly has ethical implications. Facebook has demonstrated its ethics time and again. Contrary to what the far right fringe likes to pretend, those ethics just aren't exactly progressive.

This is a lot like liberals complaining about "political ideologies" from a position steeped in a specific political ideology (i.e. neoliberalism) that is so commonplace as to have become as invisible to them as the air they breathe. Just because you don't write a manifesto about it or fit an exact archetype to the tee that doesn't mean your actions are politically or ethically neutral. Unless Facebook's decisions are literally decided by an unbiased random number generator, they follow one leaning or another, as conflicted, incomprehensible and incoherent as it may be.
What about new user sign up? Most systems will tell you if an email address has already been registered (and it seems hard to get round that).
Zero-terminated strings was a bad decision even back then, let alone now. They make vectorization very painful, and you just needlessly have to iterate over strings at every use-site.

In theory no, but the devil is in the detail: Can they prosecute you for leaving the state to do something that would be illegal in the home state? Can they prosecute you for helping someone leave the state for the to do something illegal in the home state?

Texas's law lets people sue each other for those acts and usually you can sue someone in one state under that state's laws and expect the judgement to be enforced in other states

Plenty of states have now passed such laws to try to ban abortion.

Whether they are enforceable will end up with SCOTUS. But SCOTUS is the same institution that reversed Roe vs Wade. So I would not expect them to take a practical or precedent based approach to the question "can I go to a blue state to get an abortion if I am pregnant in a red state"...
Pair designing could happen while meeting where there's not only approval process but also some tweaks here and there.

Android does provide device attestation via Keymaster 3 and has for years: https://source.android.com/security/keystore/attestation

SafetyNet does not specifically give you a device ID, but keystore attestation does. SafetyNet is a higher-level API used to verify you're in a trusted compute environment (which is also sufficient for anti-spam, btw). The keystore attestation API provides everything you need to acquire signed data directly from the HSM with things like device IDs and security trust level baked in.

But that’s not really the point, the point is that also in the markets where the network effect causes the majority of people to use Telegram, Viber or Facebook Messenger, they’re mostly not using SMS, because even if it is free, a messenger service is better.

> Feel free to repost it on any host that does not work with the US

An obvious place to post this code and protocol would be on Ethereum, which is censorship resistant. This is what the original developers of TC have done, and the result is a contract that becomes immutable and accessible, and is now the target of the sanction.

But I will not do that, as that would put me at risk of 30 years of jail time.

I will also not post the code on Gitlab or another service, as the repercussions can be severe. Whether it is just my Gitlab account being deleted, or whether it is more significant like the US government investigating me, I do not want to put myself in that situation.

However since you are the one saying there is no problem at all with it, I wonder if you would like to do that for us?

> Yes, privacy to help hide your coins acquired through dubious means, we know that.

It is sad that you default to assuming criminal behavior. The same argument is being made today by politicians and governments to try to add back doors to E2EE chat protocols and cryptographic signature schemes.
You are comparing the wrong numbers, 5 year-OS vs objective response. Objective response is 46% in the study you cited (Table 2). 5 year-OS is nearly always lower. The patients in the new study were only followed for a median of 6.8 months, and unfortunately, the odds are high that not all of them will survive that long.
The MDM scheme was introduced with the motive to fulfill the nutritional levels of the school-going children. Government school students up to class VIII, or those between the ages of six and fourteen, are given free mid day meal as a means of assisting them with their nutritional needs.

It's pretty common. If the site isn't about to be turned into the foundations of a new supermarket (This is a common fate for archaeological sites), you can't just leave an open pit behind. People might fall in! Plus everything deteriorates faster when exposed to the elements. Erecting a building to protect the site might be a nice idea... If you had a lot of money and nothing else to do with it. Some ruins will attract tourists if you build a nice museum around them, but most are too uninteresting or remote to attract enough people to make this worthwhile.

Reburying sites is standard practice. They survived hundreds or thousands of years buried under dirt, so putting the dirt back may help preserve them for hundreds or thousands of years more.

Another practice that may surprise you is that archaeologists often dig up only parts of a site, deliberately. i.e. They'll leave some parts where they think there's something interesting untouched. They do this because digging is a destructive process. Any information that can be gleaned from digging up a site has to be done with the technology and methods of the day. Archaeologists of the future might be able to learn substantially more than archaeologists of today from the same column of earth. So, you dig up only part of the site and leave other parts completely untouched so that future archaeologists can return and learn things you couldn't.
"How about establishing a country its citizens care for?"

What does it even mean? Try googling the pre-war numbers of Ukrainians who left the country to work abroad.

"Ukrainian army is revered"

Yeah, so much that the Ukraine immediately banned Ukrainian men from leaving the country [0] and Ukrainian ministry of Defense wanted to disallow movement of potential conscripts around the country [1].

"Russians who consider (not without a point) their army to be a bunch of losers and criminals; nobody goes to army in Russia unless they got no other options"

That was true 20 years ago in Eltsin's time and right after him, your information is seriously outdated. Please don't post the links to random people on twitter, post links to polls instead.

I have seen too many services that ask phone number for account recovery purposes and then end up using it for other purposes for which the user didn't consent. Given how insecure SMS OTP is, I try not to enable that if I can avoid it.

How is twitter notifying users? Has anyone posted screenshots of this notification? I want to know where this notice will appear.
It's not a panacea but it's already world apart.
The default business model for Meta is to sell targetted publicity depending on what they inferred on you through your publication.

Can't really openly sell it the same way if you are supposed to be E2E ..

And it's not like open-source is a panacea either, for most people who will not build it themselves you usually can't really know what is deployed/distributed.

Was going to use Element as an example but on F-droid the app is built and signed by the platform and an archive with sources is distributed.

But last I check the same can't be said for the play store and you have no idea what's running on app.element.io and there is an open issue for reproducible build for the electron app.

But at each step you are gaining something it's not "only a thing ...".
So you mean same as in the USA.

"misspeak"

He called the diver a pedophile, hired a private investigator to study him and claimed to Buzzfeed in an email("off the record") that he has evidence of the diver being a rapist and buying his wife, or something to that effect.

All of those were invented lies, but he also won the defamation lawsuit against him, because he's rich and he can do whatever he wants with no consequences.

Oh yeah, he also flew to Thailand for a photo op with the military, showcasing his idiotic submarine while kids were dying in that cave.

He's a narcissistic asshole at best, a sociopath at worst.
That is why I mentioned the universal/global, non-trackable digital identity as a solution and a posion pill for the locked down device. Such a digital identity has to be decentralised, resistant to ID theft attacks and a wide range of other attack vectors and, most importantly, be independent of hardware vendors so they could never wield influence over their users.

If an identity can be verified via a presented assumed persona (supplied as a proxy for the identity in question) as a third party identity verification service call, locking down a device becomes redundant (although the hardware vendor will likely continue to do so for other reasons). It does not seem likely that the identity management is going to be solved any time soon though.
I don't think theres any difference in the final knot - its how you tie it. Tying a figure of eight in the rope and then re-tracing it back is necessary because your harness loops (not shown in the pic) will be in the bight. I'm guessing a sailor wouldn't need to tie anything into the bight, so retracing wouldn't be necessary.

I've never heard of a fig-eight being referred to as "trace" but this may be an US-ism and I'm European.
Hmm, that sounds like fun scam for someone to actually run.

Now what to do with those funds after you receive them is an other issue.

In what country are you basing this comment on? I haven't heard of any cash notes becoming "outdated" or "expired" after five years in any country I frequent.

> It doesn't work so well for oligarchs

It does work well as long as everyone is inside the gray/black markets, as they won't ask questions where you got your £1m cash from when you buy a property in the dark from them. How do you think most large shipments of drugs are being sold/bought? Trading cash for the drugs, almost exclusively. That's why when the police does busts of large shipments, they often come across large cash stashes as well, if the deal was just made.
There are discussion on what the goal should be. Equality or equity? Merkel just evades the controversy by using parity. Typical Merkel move. Not meant negatively.

I've worked now for 3 years on a large lua game code base, over 4000 files, 1.5 million lines of code.

In the first week or so, I was a bit weirded out by the lack of language features, as I come from C#/Typescript/C++, but I was very surprised that after 2 or 3 weeks, I was already doing very complex tasks on the code base.

I think a lot of that comes from the simplicity of the language. It's very difficult to surprise you, everything works in pretty much the same way.

Here are some things that I will miss once I move to other languages: (note that most of these are not things that come from simply using lua, you have to implement it into your framework/engine, but they are still pretty common)

- stack traces print the contents of the variables in the stack. Not all lua code bases have this, but it is easy to implement.

- if the code crashes, you can fix the code and continue. This doesn't always work, and requires the code base to be written in a way that supports it, but it is definitely possible and I've used it many times.

- debugging works really well. You can easily attach and inject code, stop on exception and inspect the state.

- settings are also lua code. This is probably the biggest thing I'll miss. I love being able to have simple functions as part of settings (e.g. things like tweening functions), being able to generate settings based on other settings, or run simple sanity checks, all on the same file.

- index starting on 1, this is definitely an unpopular opinion, but IMO it just makes things so much easier. When you need to access the last element, you just do tbl[tbl_length], no need to decrease by 1, or doing a for loop, you only specify the indices you're actually accessing "for i = 1, last_index do end". I think it really helps with off by 1 errors. I used "normal" indices for over 10 years before this project, and I would still occasionally have these errors, but with lua, I don't really remember having them.

- not having to fight the compiler to quickly try out different things. Need something from a completely different system? Just add it to the global table and access it from the other place.

A big learning I got from transitioning from languages with a very strong type system to a dynamic language like lua, is that in order to be effective, you really need to use code architecture patterns, otherwise things become very hard to reason with. This might be counter intuitive, but I think you need to be a better programmer to use lua effectively, than you need to with a language like C# or Typescript. With the latter languages, the compiler helps you a lot, but with lua, you have to know how to use these things on your own, because you can pretty much do anything and that can be reeeeally bad :)
And individual behavior is just the result of the culture and the systems that surround us. We can campaign for individual change all day long, and they'll have less effect than what legislation could bring.

In fact I don't think individuals have much choice. They can inconvenience, or hinder themselves, in what effectively amount to a race amongst each other, or they can participate as fully as they can, thereby also dealing as much damage as the system or culture lets them. Circling back to cars and car culture as a prime example, the popular Not Just Bikes channel also talks about this. In their example of a city in the Netherlands, it's not that people love to bike and therefore bike a lot. It's that the environment is optimized to getting around in not just cars, but for pedestrian, and cycling traffic. Therefore people, who just want to get around, choose these two more often. As long as there's a game, they'll be players, so in order to minimize damage by the players, we need to change the game. Not the player.
