And if you are not in the US and your ISP is not Comcast, like in most of the world, and US for you is a particularly untrustworthy country?

Functional languages don't establish invariants, invariants is an abstract math concept and math way of thinking. Side-effects, on the other hand, have an important place in programming and CS.

DNS-based censorship doesn't work well enough for governments to be useful, it's always just a first step towards much more aggressive censorship tech. You should not advice people to use DoH to circumvent censorship, Tor is a dec

You'll get benchmarks that show higher numbers compared to non-KV SSDs and Samsung may use them in its marketing. But yes, key-value APIs are not going to make durability (and security) any easier. It's easier with lower level API

I find it rather discouraging to hear they are not removing the blocking API for now . It's basically an empty statement, not reassurance. They still may or may not remove the API, they don't want to promise anything or show any
