I'm confused by several of your assertions.

You say Canada as "harbored" terrorists, but then link to an attack by Babbar Khalsa, which is designated as a terrorist by Canada. Do you have any basis for this assertion?

Also, I see calling credible allegations "baseless and irresponsible" doesn't inspire confidence. It's pretty clear how bad the assassination looks for India and pretending otherwise instead of promising to assist with investigations just make India look more guilty.
So if they can already do that, they'll just sell the whole unlocked phone and not worry about parts? Unless it's broken to the point of being unsellable, I guess

You’re rudely assuming an awful lot: 1) that it was me who referred to the person with an unwanted pronoun, as opposed to simply witnessing the person get upset by a third party doing so, and 2) that someone who insists on the identity of a non-binary male necessarily does not want to be referred to with the pronoun “he”. Pronoun preferences are just as diverse or contrary to others’ expectations as the labels that people apply to themselves.
That's IBM. Oracle is a horrible person which happens to have a law firm.
Consider this example from the article where it asks you to calculate the limit of ln(1+h)/h as h tends to zero. Set h to be 10^(-17). The Android calculator reliably succeeds and gives the same answer as Mathematica. The iOS calculator reliably fails; at least it knows its limits and refuses to give even an approximate answer.
Those “failed progressive policies” are American policies made by American politicians. The United States has very high crime rates compared to China.

If you don’t trust Chinese crime stats, check Singapore’s which are even lower. Singapore is a city bigger than LA but with low crime rates due to cameras and police that know how to do their jobs. Singapore also gives the death penalty for peddling drugs which is a lesson conservative states might have directed at the Sackler family rather than giving them a free pass.

Shootings are common in the U.S. and American politicians have accepted this reality. Even after children are slaughtered, politicians do nothing. Those children pay for American “freedom” with their lives. Other cultures choose to put children first.

That makes it a bit different than something like Mongo or Elasticsearch suddenly going with a business friendly license.

However, I still would wonder about the health of the committership community independent of this company. The job of a good foundation is to steward the project accordingly, and I wonder if MariaDB has been community or company governed?

To a first approximation, the US government uses the same cryptography that US consumers do -- AES, SHA-2, the NIST P curves, ECDSA, etc. are all categorized for various levels of data integrity and confidentiality within the government.

The same will be true of PQ signing schemes, meaning that a backdoor would be predicated on the USG believing that they have some truly remarkable NOBUS breakthrough in PQC. That feels unlikely to me; NSA interventions in cryptographic design have historically gone in the opposite direction[1].

(This is separate from the actual design question. I don't know as much about stateless PQ signing schemes, but the stateful ones are mostly "boring" hash-based cryptography that's well understood to be strong in both settings.)

Mr. Nijjar was not involved; he was 8 years old when this happened.
I don't think these incentives make sense at all. Government organizations suspected to be developing quantum computers probably have larger annual budgets than 20 billion. The ability to undermine virtually all cryptographic systems is unquantifiably large.

Once the cat is out of the bag, everyone will rush to post-quantum cryptography and all that value will be lost in a relatively short period. Indeed, we already witnessed this in the 2010s following the Snowden revelations when big tech, in a concerted effort, adopted HTTPS. Now that is the standard.

For example, "The Fiscal Year 2022 budget appropriation included $65.7 billion for the National Intelligence Program, and $24.1 billion for the Military Intelligence Program."

Sure, and it's also different than racism, which is a prejudice toward other human beings based on criteria they have no control over.

The list was heterogeneous analogies to illustrate a point, not equivalences. And that point was: there are concepts which are not obscure and no longer new and people have had some experience with, and its ok to have a negative reaction about them until and unless some pretty darn novel new evidence or argument comes up (yet there exists a set of people who still buy into it and don't understand the negativity). Like, I have a friend who's into crypto currency and I know a guy who's into racism and I have an uncle who's working on perpetual working machine... and they'll all get a "negative gutural reaction" from me.
Structured Logging for Ruby and Rails
So, the technical challenge is related to managing the following things (all simultaneously):

* Apple wants to make sure components in an authentic phone are not capable of being stolen and resold (this is a problem today, even with the pairing, although it is less valuable due to pairing)

* Apple wants to make sure that if you change components, that the replacement component is authentic

* Apple wants to make sure that if you change components, that the replacement component is not stolen

I can't comment on specific implementations, but allowing users to just re-pair devices in the current state would not allow the above 3 goals to be met. By restricting who has access to the pairing tools, they can achieve those 3 with the downside being obviously it leads to a crappy user experience for repair.

Why was this flagged??
Even that article you cite stops short of saying that RAW was definitely the perpetrator.

There are occasionally people who opportunistically claim credit for crimes they didn't commit, when it suits their politics. And even if it was someone in RAW, being "close to the government", does not necessarily mean it was ordered by that government.

None of us have enough information to say for sure at this point. Yet people carry on like we know the truth without equivocation.

The Prime Minister of Canada just did a state visit to India, where he was not warmly received, and made to look foolish on the world stage. So, he has his own political calculations in this affair, and is far from an objective arbiter of truth.

Life. Individuals compete. Resources have limits, and life quickly scales to them.

Life harnessing new resources is the most constructive way to compete.

Creatures that expand, expand exponentially.

Creatures that don’t, collapse exponentially.

It takes a minuscule percentage of a population to be expanders, for the whole population to quickly become expanders.

It would take an exceptional explanation to explain why creatures that could expand, don’t.

An exceptional explanation on par with explaining how a balloon could be popped in a vacuum, but the compressed air inside somehow remained in place instead of dispersing.

Well then you’re back to the bridge problem. postMessage is crazy slow. There are some problems where parallelization will outperform the ipc cost with postMessage but those problems are few and far between. I haven’t dove into the new web GPU api but it does look kinda promising (shared memory is hard, so I’m apprehensive). I’m sure some of these things will get solved in the long run but for the time being, the bottleneck to browser performance is not necessarily JavaScript itself but the webapis that are crafted around a single threaded model. This is really my only point. Aside from providing systems engineers familiarity with syntax/devex and possibly some portability with some llvm/wasm compatible libs, there is little point in wasm runtimes at this current time imo.

“Data is sent between workers and the main thread via a system of messages — both sides send their messages using the postMessage() method, and respond to messages via the onmessage event handler (the message is contained within the message event's data attribute). The data is copied rather than shared.”
Funny thing, I actually wrote one POS application (magstripe + EMV chip & pin + contactless).

EMV uses integers encoded as BCD for money. If I remember well, in most cases it is 6 bytes or 12 digits. That is more than 2^32 (most of POS machines were 32 bit ARM until relatively recently).

The terminal I worked on had 32 bit ARM. Rather than convert 12 digit numbers to 32 bit integers I decided to write my own arithmetic library that did operations directly on BCD strings of arbitrary length (but, in practice, EMV only allows 6 bytes for the amount anyway).
The full title was too long to not editorialise: “UK Government ‘Concession’ On Breaking End-to-End Encryption In The Online Safety Act (Just Passed) Turns Out Not To Be One”.

I'd be open to see a statistical argument to support the above position.

"peace loving" != "not dangerous"

As an example: The kirpan (Punjabi: ਕਿਰਪਾਨ) is a curved, single-edged blade that Khalsa Sikhs are required to wear as part of their religious uniform . . . Sikhs are expected to embody the qualities of a Sant Sipahi or "saint-soldier", showing no fear on the battlefield and treating defeated enemies humanely.

It sucks but it's hard to fault women for this, as it's basically just survival instincts. The amount of women who have been literally sexually assaulted or raped by a hookup or date or meeting someone at a bar, let alone just really really bad experiences that didn't even reach physical harm, means that the only way to stay safe in public is to disengage.

However, women often still want partners, because most people do, and it's their market to dictate, so of course they have high standards.

For most women, every "yes" to a date is basically Russian roulette, because people who sexually abuse women do it a lot, do it often, and do it to a lot of women, because nobody stops them. Sexual crimes almost always become "He said/She said" because consent is not a physical thing, so it's rarely possible to hit the "beyond all reasonable doubt" criteria of a conviction, which predictably doesn't calm the nerves of women or survivors of assault.

Many of us foresaw this (and much worse) when we first heard about Bitcoin in 2009-2011. Yes, Bitcoin has its anonymity issues, but cryptocurrencies in general is what typically enables this kind of crime.

https://archive.ph/8BCDb

Hey - three reasons I thought this could be interesting / useful:

1. Serverless functions timing out with high latency or elongated completions + DB calls.

2. Edge funcs not being sufficient, esp if you're batching together requests

3. Devs spinning up their own simple express servers to handle requests and reinventing the wheel with rate-limiting, retry-logic, and webhook configuration.

Thruway could be an open source library for handling these problems and simplify integrating AI. Thoughts?

Other than clocks almost everything is designed for 50 or 60hz. it doesn't cost much more to design for either frequency, and typically you don't care about the RPM difference that much. By handling both you can just sell your things around the world. A lot of money has been lost because someone shipped something to a country it wasn't designed for. Making a motor that can handle different frequencies and voltages tends to be easier than the logistics of getting the right thing to the right place (most of the world is 100-120V, 200-240V, or 400-480V - and those variations are easy to handle if you design for it).

> To say that womens' sexuality is causing a social problem is absolutely unacceptable in establishment cultural spaces.

Woah there, when did I say any of this was a problem? Women should be free to do all of this, in fact I think more needs to be done to give women what they want as it's a market which people aren't giving proper consideration.

> The idea that the men might deserve equal education for themselves isn't even worth considering, because men deserve nothing and their suffering scores zero on the moral-imperative scale. It only matters in how it affects women.

You're not being very charitable to how these issues are handled. Nobody is completely uncaring of men - trying to spin this as "the world hates men" just seems incorrect.
CRYSTALS-Kyber was designed by an academic team, not a government (though a government standards body refereed the competition that selected it; that competition, in turn, was driven by technical feedback that came predominantly from academic cryptography teams around the world). In general, with some exceptions (like curve isogenies), the "math" behind PQ crypto is pretty well established; it was just less attractive than curves were for performance reasons, but is now more attractive if you presume curves will be broken in 20 years by QC.
India isn’t really an ally of the west.

For example, it was historically non-aligned but on friendly terms with the Soviet Union:

> In 1954, the United States made Pakistan a Central Treaty Organization (CENTO) ally. As a result, India cultivated strategic and military relations with the Soviet Union to counter Pakistan–United States relations.[2] In 1961, India became a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement to abstain from aligning with either the US or the USSR in the Cold War.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/India–United_States_relation...

Pakistan is/was a closer and more reliable ally for the United States.

For another example where India disregarded the interests of the west:

> In 1970, Indira Gandhi enacted legislation which barred medical products from being patented in the country.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceutical_industry_in_I...

Of course, India would seem to be a natural ally given that both countries are committed democracies and there is massive immigration from India to the United States, but in practice the United States likes the reliability of less-democratic states and India likes to control its own affairs and is powerful enough to do so.

So it goes.

There are more robberies than a mugging. Pick pockets are a real scourge. If you have a reliable way to turn stolen goods into currency, you are incentivized to take that item. Jewelry -> pawn shops for example.

The anti-theft measure here makes it not profitable, or much harder to profit, from taking a phone because you can't resell it or strip the valuable parts. I had a friend get pick pocketed in spain, and the next day the phone was several countries away.

Just because people can get mugged regardless of perceived wealth doesn't mean that we don't try to reduce the risk.

"Socialists" are largely bitter unsuccessful upper-middle class or above and speak in academic babble that is completely offputting to the actual working class who they claim to represent. And this (to the great pleasure of capitalists like me) ruins any chance of them succeeding. It's just as true today as it was when Orwell pointed it out in Wigan Pier, and it's why you came with an ad hominem instead of saying he is incorrect.

That's an impressive level of false equivalency.

Nobody has ever suggested that Nijjar had anything to do with Air India 182 - probably because he was seven years old at the time, and I'm pretty sure seven year olds aren't masterminding airline bombings. Yet you went straight for that implication:

> But, if you have the dubious honor of master-minding the Canadian 9/11, then that puts you squarely in terrorist camp for me.

If India had evidence implicating Nijjar in terrorist activities, they should have requested extradition.
