It is unsafe to mix trusted and untrusted code in the same process. This is why Chrome runs the renderer in a separate process. My concern is that using Java to execute JS increases the probability they are doing this bad mixing. They could

I think there is a strong temptation for this when there is a large gap between the value of the social housing to the occupant and the value of the social housing on the market. This flat is in Victoria which is quite central in London. I

This poison thing is interesting because it seems like one poison value could have the capability of poisoning all the data in your program. You could imagine a faithful implementation of the rust abstract machine after hitting one code pat

Controlling speech in order to prevent violence does not work when the people carrying out the violence control the institutions. In your Rwandan example the Rwandan government could not be trusted to censor their own goals. The situations

Reading this comment. I have to admit the reason I write 10 lines of code on average is because I spend 95 percent of my work time browsing hackernews or slatestarcodex or dare I say r/the_donald. I also strongly suspect a lot of peopl
