The facts are, Nikita Khrushchev was humiliated by the outcome of the Cuban missile crisis. Oswald lived in USSR, came back to the US to discover that nobody really cares, and was eager to gain some sort of celebrity status. He was also nut

Haha, yeah. "For all intents and purposes", "virtually", and don't forget the weird "stranger on stranger". Perhaps if the perpetrator knows you, it makes it better?

I was working on something quite similar for the last year. It’s an email system based on digital identities, where every piece of outgoing mail is encrypted and signed. It works with the existing email infrastructure by having a gateway wh

Is that the same Dmitry Sklyarov who was arrested by the FBI back in 2001, triggering a protest campaign? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Elcom_Ltd . Ah, memories.

Having duplication does not mean your code is not clean. Sometimes, having duplication is actually cleaner, and easier to understand. Removing duplication may introduce complexities, and force developers to untangle the additional logic tha

Having worked for a similar company, I remember there were some good old IRC servers up and running to communicate in an emergency just like that.

It's not stored. It's only displayed to you. You can also do the same thing on the command line on your machine, so no information ever leaves your hands.

Ubikom is free, open-source email framework based on the concept of Self-Sovereign Identity. You own your identity (which, in this case, means your private key), and all the outgoing and incoming messages are encrypted and signed by default

I read a lot of Lem when I was a kid. Solaris is great, it was definitely one of my favorites. Here's another one that I liked a lot: Return from the stars. It's funny how he predicted a lot of modern technology spot on, but his h

The only good answer to this is end-to-end encryption, keys held by the individuals, and full decentralization. You must not put your private communications into the hands of any company, as great as they are.

People must be able to exchange information in a secure and private way, free of government or corporate censorship. The fact that there is no common, simple, and ubiquitous way to exchange private messages blows my mind. I wish someone wou

Or maybe not censure it at all? Maybe say "Thanks, but no thanks" to the CCP?

That's a perfectly good explanation, apart from the fact that an American company does censorship for Chinese government. If it's "inside China" doesn't make it better.

PlantUML looks great, all the features I need, but their page is infested with fake ads, including fake download buttons of 5 different kinds. They also link to download page on SourceForge (hmmm, it's still alive) with even worse ads.

I hope you are right - but to me it sounds like the "why" question is the key to the whole story, so they need to investigate it first. And they mentioned that in the next episode they will talk about the search efforts. As for th

I was surprised that the journalists didn't drill into "terrible situation in his unit" claims. They just let it slide completely - and this is the key to the whole story. Why the situation was so bad? Also, I found his story
