I don't think that is true, current PFS algorithms are probably all just an inconvenience PQ, but I think they suggest strategies where one has to have a key at the time of a negotiation or even be part of a decision in a negotiation to ever have the session key as long as the parties discard it.


Call me a cynic, but maintaining the same volume of hiring related work when no one should bother applying is (somewhat selectively) demoralizing which probably drives attrition without severance.


What does it do if the company is Google?


I think the don't do it if you are mixing, purist thinking cycles through for each UI and is generally pointless and doesn't serve people who take it up.

All the rat poison oriented window managers also have a great point and the ones with no mouse support at all might be perfect for many but it is silly and counter productive not to provide the mouse support because it is an anti pattern and pretend that all the users who need to see the benefits of avoiding the anti pattern, and practice [not] using it, are going to somehow magically end up trying the purist UIs.


Google invented very little AFA actual products. They invented mind sets to make copying existing things with one questionably clever idea and turning it into the origin story of the world.


Which says:

> You cannot completely disable IPv6 as IPv6 is used internally on the system for many TCPIP tasks. For example, you will still be able to run ping ::1 after configuring this setting.

I'd be concerned their workaround is just limiting it into a local vulnerability that spyware, etc will abuse on all the systems that end up not patched because they used the workaround..


When spyware holds your ass, it already has everything on you and doesn't need any vulnerability.


> When spyware holds your ass, it already has everything on you and doesn't need any vulnerability.

..because it uses one of the available local escalation tricks, where sending RA to ::1 could be one of those if that is a thing.


That's a very interesting theory, but in the context of generations couldn't frailty and appearances associated with frailties be advantages that outweigh occasional post reproductive death when too many combine?

If we were more like sharks and grand parents were larger, more intimidating, and almost always able to maintain status via direct physical confrontation, I kind of wonder how grand relationships would look, whether there would be larger chaos in generational changes with longer over shadowed generations, etc.


Compelled pricing is quite rare, for example when regulators used it as an alternative to breaking up the original phone monopoly. If they don't admit there's a monopoly that should be subject to special regulations or face immediate break up then its not clear why they are forcing supposedly normal market participants to specific pricing.


That it didn't exist is not really that relvant. I.e. the US classified secrecy as a munition so under the US' framing it is a 2nd amendment right necessary to balance power between people and government.. Take it away from all and it is no longer essential.


Has this framing ever actually been tested in court? Between the dramatic re-interpretation of the 2nd as a collective non-right and the precedent of laws like ITAR and other munitions controls I can't imagine this would hold up.


Remember the 90s cryptowars and the "illegal shirts with math on them"?


Yeah that was largely about export controls vs freedom of speech, I don't know of any actual court case involving the second amendment a la https://xkcd.com/504/


Has anyone used the 3rd amendment to argue against the government forcing them to include backdoors and surveillance mechanisms?


USB flash failed in terms of writes? I'm kind of curious about the story of longterm offline storage, vs occasional use since I think the controller needs to both have logic to actively refresh over months/years and occasionally be on to do so?


Yes, I had a case of an SSD drive zeroing out over 2-3 years. Must also be true for SD cards.
