Politically easier than destroying the cash crops of a foreign country? Seems unlikely. :-)

It'd be a lot easier to make cheap, pure heroin available to people who choose to use it. Switzerland does just that and it seems to benefit their society while taking money out of the pockets of the drug cartels: http://dru

Humans have already unwittingly destroyed most of the ecosystems in the world, so I'm not really opposed to teams of scientists carefully making such changes in the future.

Indeed. The most recent governments' hostility toward scientific research has been hugely damaging to the research community in Australia. The CSIRO were once an amazing asset to the world, now with their funding slashed dramatically t

If you talk to an upstream resolver through an encrypted link (both CloudFlare and Google support DNSoverTLS and DNSoverHTTPS, at least) then you at least limit the potential privacy threats.

Thanks. So the upshot is that package x/crypto/acme/autocert can no longer obtain production certs. I have bumped this issue, volunteering to do the work to add http-01 support to package autocert: https://github.c

I'm not an expert, but the autocert package appears to support both tls-sni-01 and tls-sni-02. The title of this HN post says "tls-sni-01" is disabled, but on the linked page it says "tls-sni challenge disabled". So

I don't know how you would evaluate such a thing as "best security team," but Project Zero certainly attracts a high calibre of security expert. If you're into breaking things, why wouldn't you want to break things

The "contact high" is a real thing, but it is not about becoming intoxicated by the drug itself. It's a psychological phenomenon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_high

Except as a programmer you can probably fix their problems (you just don’t want to). An architect does not have the skills to fix plumbing.

I know both projects intimately and they are not "minor technical details" but rather fundamental architectural differences.

But I have experienced exactly this. Not an orchestra, but a recording of a band. I guess you can split hairs about the definition of "fool", but I have been fooled as you describe.

The problem is that your speakers were not designed to reproduce sounds at those frequencies, so instead of faithfully reproducing those sounds (that you can't hear anyway) they may emit unintended artifacts/distortion (that you c

None of that is even necessary for text-based content if you just use an efficient web server (that's most of them, today) and static content. If you have a lot of large media files (not the case here) it's another story.

That doesn't seem to be the outcome, if you look at the various places around the world that have decriminalised drugs.

by enneff 10y ago
Decriminalization doesn't mean legalization. It just means that you don't make criminals out of drug users, and instead use the money that you would spend policing drug distribution (which doesn't work) on rehabilitation (whi

My take: it's because of an unnecessarily cynical worldview coupled with a misunderstanding about the intended audience of the presentation.

Comments like these are so depressing. Someone does a bunch of work to improve the Go compiler and writes a presentation to share their approach (primarily so that other people working on Go can understand and extend it), and gives it all a

That was my take on it, too. There was nothing profound about this apology at all. On the contrary, it seems the very smallest and least controversial response he could have made.
