I think it is possible to reconcile by saying that human life is sacred, but all other life is as well (i.e. human life is not more or less sacred than other life, but it is worth protecting nonetheless, along with all other life). There is

The author is a cultural psychologist, and trying to explain that people's emotions should be seen in the context of (and I would say are "relative to") the culture they're from. Someone is only fake if they're more

Yeah, I agree, it would've been clearer if they'd placed the circles in the correct locations and then put the line between the circle and label. The ones in the Netherlands might've been too close together (with this circle

Sorry, I meant other Dutch cities (edited). The tourists part might be specific to Amsterdam but afaik there are plenty of expats in Rotterdam, Eindhoven, Utrecht, etc. as well.

One of the big issues in the election was cost and availability of housing. I think most Dutch people are happy to live in the Netherlands (and want to keep living there), but are unhappy that it's getting so expensive, and worry thing

Well - sure, but we can't change the history, and GCM is the mode that got picked by NIST, is most widely implemented, and is used in lots of places. It has been widely analyzed and scrutinized, and is unlikely to turn out to be insecu

NIST is not the same organization as the NSA, though. And GCM was not designed by either - it was merely submitted to NIST as a proposal, which was accepted. It has been widely scrutinized, and there's a security proof available, which

The primary reason for adding GCM to the crypto refresh was not efficiency, but rather FIPS compliance (as GCM is the only AEAD mode specified by NIST). Then, some changes were made to how the AEAD modes (OCB, GCM, and EAX) are used, partic

We do care about interoperability, indeed that's the point of using OpenPGP. I've addressed the points in the blog post in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36643124 .

One way to solve this problem is Key Transparency, which aims to provides a mechanism to verify that you're receiving a legitimate key, somewhat analogous to Certificate Transparency. We've implemented this at Proton: https:&#x2F

It's possible to do both, however, the crypto refresh recommends setting the preferences on the entire key, and anything else isn't widely supported, I believe. Theoretically, you could have two versions of the key with different
