Reading Wikileaks alone is essentially worthless because you will lack the necessary context. A good example for this is all of the discussion about reporters colluding with Clinton based on the leaked emails because reporters are making re

Germany has the concept of a non-refusal in order to not impose and just show politeness as well. There is no massive cultural difference here. Sometimes though you just say no, this is one of these times. As a German I'm not baffled a

On issues such as manufacturing the hard political truth is that these jobs have been lost both to innovation and through trade (of jobs). Manufacturing jobs have been sacrificed to get cheaper products and the focus has been set on service

Socialism and Communism has always been led by intellectuals. Marx was hardly a member of the proletariat for example. Additionally this is overall hardly a European phenomenon. People tend to associate mostly with people similar to themsel

If there being such a back channel is a surprise to you, you should really reconsider whether you know anything about foreign policy at all.

You're right technically but don't you think that's a little bit pedantic? If your goal is to truly improve the state of the art in the ecosystem, dropping anything that is even remotely insecure is appealing I get that and I

There is not supporting insecure protocols and then there is living in fantasy land away from everyone else. You can't drop all of these things and end up with something generally useful.

This just looks like someone who is aware of the complex legal history associated with cryptography and has considered embedded devices in the design of the library. Considering the recent events around IoT having good crypto libraries for

This is a problem with that specific API and and not an issue with Haskell in general. Conduit and Pipes both solve this problem.

What's the point of such a feature anyway? I don't want my phone to even connect to such tower, just tell me there is no service available.

"Only"? You need locks in exactly the same scenarios as you do when you use multiple threads.

If you can't pay 21k in fines, you definitely can't afford the engineering and safety testing required.

Even if he won't encounter such "regulatory hurdles" in China, he'll encounter cultural ones. If anything I'd expect that to be harder.

Unless he tried this already and anyone who took a serious look saw that he had nothing of value.

I find it hard to believe that anyone of reasonable intelligence, certainly someone intelligent enough to work on self-driving car tech, could miss something so incredibly obvious. Modifying a car is one thing but directly interfering with

Oh, well that sounds like you'd know about it, if you live in the US. Should make it easier to answer all of this still.

1-4 is simply providing them with a copy of the instructions. 5, 6, 8 and 9 are incredibly obvious questions that should have been answered during the development. 7 is surely something you know just from the business end of things. I have

I do wonder what would happen, if networks for water, waste, electricity or even streets would have to be build on a large scale in the political climate of the US today.

In Germany not passing a new budget wouldn't let to a government shutdown. So it's not an option anyway.

Isn't the rise just based on how much water these glaciers hold? Intuitively I would expect that to be noticeable within hours, a day at most.

This is still not that many compared to the children going to school. Additionally that's a very heterogenous group, homeschooling their children for a variety of different reasons, using different approaches following different curric

Uber and Airbnb don't have the government as a customer. You can't both ignore the government and sell it stuff at the same time.

That market is small to non-existent. If you're creating a startup that doesn't seem like the audience you want to focus on, at least not at first.

This isn't true at all. The language has an impact on whether you can make perform these checks at runtime or at compile time. If you can do them at compile time, performance isn't affected at all and the code won't run slowe

LibreSSL is only better because it does less and much more human attention is wasted on producing bug free C code. That's an improvement but it's quite limited.

So? Nobody disagrees on the fact that there is a problem. Putting blame on people won't solve the problem. It will piss people off. People you want on your side, enthusiastically solving the problem. Your attitude is actually dangerous

I'm mentioning Rust to make clear the direction I'd like things to go and because there isn't really an alternative that allows for similar reusability and is practical for developing cryptographic libraries. That being said

I think that's somewhat unfair. People make mistakes, that's unavoidable and shouldn't be seen as an issue. Instead of blaming people for making mistakes we should consider what we can learn. We need to identify which mistake

Armin might like Rust but that doesn't mean that's why it was chosen in this case. In fact the article provides a reason: they already had a Rust library for source maps and that is a very good reason to go with Rust. More general
