Well sure, they would not use it for everyday standard cases to limit exposure. Intel does have something to loose, if this would became public knowledge. But I cannot believe they resisted the temptation to use that opportunity to get such

Well, the main problem with this is, it would require human experimentation to be efficient. You know, those babies raised in this way, those in that way. And by the age of 2 cut open and everything meassured. Or do you have other ideas how

When the NSA for example has access to the Intel ME or AMDs version of it(and I think they do) then they surely don't need to break any encryption. They don't even need to hack. They just would have direct access, to most Desktops

I think something like this exists actually, even though I can't think of a concrete example, but I am sure it is not easy to implement (in a just way) either.

There were quite some experiments in that direction, but using music. I don't recall the name or have a link to such a study at hand (and I do question and never researched how scientific it was done) but the plants seemed to prefer Ra

In traveller communities it is quite common to just say them in a different language - then you have a beautiful language mix where people stilm mostly understand each other. It just gets akward, when you interact with ordinary people again

Ok, that is a new and strong fact to me, I missed so far, indeed indicating russian origin. It likely is wrong, though, but the justification seems to indicate that they thought it will help countering the offensive.

It seems you conflate the tool and the education about the tool? Why is Java itself bad, because some people (maybe) teach it wrong? Also inheritance as a first lesson with OOP is not bad either, if the follow up is sound. But as far as I k

"in practice it's too tempting to expand the hierarchy." Not anymore, if you got stuck, by doing that once too often. But 2-3 levels can be allright as well. It depends, what you are doing amd with whom.

It is quite simple. Do you want to build something? Then go build it. You notice you lack information while building? Go read it. Not the other way around. Unless you want to read for the sake of reading/learning, which is also fine. I

The JSON needs to be parsed only once. Then it is (or can be) just any object to your liking. JSON is for storing data as text. Not work with that text all the time.
