People don't seem to understand what level of access FSB has there. Like literal spying boxes with APIs pulling linked phone numbers and identities to associate with messages all directly controlled by FSB.

They are also required by the government to link phone numbers to accounts and log and store messages for a long time and make them directly accessible by FSB.

Technically the government itself is a form of conspiracy against the general population. But people don't know that, even educated people, because political science isn't mandatory in higher education. But labeling something as c

Mass media doesn't emphasize credentials of journalists or any credibility for that matter, in other words it is never credible. It's better understood in terms of propaganda, like your link is an example of manufactured consent.

It's a counter propaganda effort against pro-Kremlin propaganda, which is still propaganda in itself, no matter how factual and analytical. An honest anti propaganda effort at minimum would not label undesired propaganda as "disin

You can use CRDTs on top of pretty much any database and while they could simplify things, any database won't be optimized for specific constraints of CRDTs, so you won't be able to achieve certain levels of performance, availabil

You can just use the find command for tracking writes, for example: find / -type f -printf '%TY-%Tm-%Td %TT %p\n' | sort (you probably want to add -mount in there too and use find per each mount point separately)

Programming language design for humans is a completely different thing from PLT. It's more about usability, HCI, psychology. And if by success you mean popularity or any metric that includes productivity of the language, understanding

No, it just shows lack of expertise in this particular domain and they have to rediscover a lot of things because of that [1], but it's not that different from software engineering anywhere else. This is pretty much what software engin

This fake looking optimism and positivity is HN's own policy though. They are not moderating out shallow positivity and praise, like they do negativity, and even tried to actively push people to be positive at some point. This is might

You are missing an integrity checking step. You can do it by sending some sort of ephemeral binary over ssh that does integrity checking and requests a key with the resulting hash of the check to proceed, don't blindly trust sshd runni

Right. I'd say polypropylene spunbond-meltblown-spunbond design is just a safe choice for non-reusable medical masks. It's not necessary, and especially for general population, for that just spunbond alone should be enough which i

From filtering point of view viruses are dust particles of roughly 100 nanometers in diameter and aerosols. Lots of filters are designed to filter this stuff, pretty much all ultrafine particle class filters.
