Big +1 to this. Most of the changes to C++ have been fixing old problems. Concepts are a complex feature sure, but before having named concepts in code, we had unnamed concepts in code that may or may not be named in the documentation. Bein

I agree with Google doing more "controversial topic guiding" than others - though perhaps this is just their superior language model. Interesting, Google seems to have fixed my go-to example. The query "<college newspaper

Does it? I can't make my microwave work with the door open either. The whole "point" of a TPM is that the user can create, use, and delete keys inside of it, with the promise that the keys won't come out. TPMs are just s

The lines are a bit blurrier here than you might think. Soldiers are required to disobey illegal orders. Congress declares war. But the President has the right to respond militarily in an emergency - war does not wait on committees. If Trum

They think they'd decide what the money should be spent on better than you. So being corrupt and taking huge amounts of money in and then spending it on their chosen causes is a net good. It's narcissism

It's what you can do with the TPM. With the TPM to hold keys, you can require that e.g. bootloader changes be signed by the vendor. It's hard for malware to convince an ordinary person to go into BIOS and disable vendor locked boo

All reporting is biased. You shouldn't try to find unbiased reporting - you'll never succeed, except at fooling yourself - instead you should identify the biases of the things you read and read sources with a variety of biases.
