You're probably being downvoted for hyperbole, but IMO there's undeniably a palpable undercurrent of petty vengefulness in EU leadership - as evidenced for example with Gibraltar. It doesn't inspire confidence, and is probabl

I don't think that's some big secret or rumor. Tor has vulnerabilities, namely that it can effectively be de-anonymized by controlling n or n% exit nodes.

I don't have the lectures. At least when I took it, they were very specifically not recorded (for some hand-wavy pseudo-pedagogic reasons). The labs and text are already available online.

Thanks for the link. Didn't realize they'd started both recording lectures and releasing them. Probably has something to do with the change in teaching faculty for the course. Wonder if the second half of the semester is available
