In case it's useful to anyone: another implementation of this idea is Weeve https://shop.weeve.ie I bought one of their books (a study in scarlet) but it wasn't great. Lots of mistranslation, especially later on in the

Does anyone have a list of which products are in which business units?

Yeah I think this is correct with the edit. I guess this is mostly relevant for software that runs on shared infra, sends requests to a url provided by an attacker (e.g. webhooks), and uses a SOCKS5 proxy?

The article was too vague for me to really understand, but I think it's suggesting something like Brandur's deeply-integrated idempotency keys design [1] except that the infra is provided by a saas company? Also somehow it support

This sounds really interesting! Can you explain or link to an explanation of the technical defenses that Google has? (Or, is this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35585453 complete and accurate?)

Any use of OS features by calling functions in the standard library should work though, right? I think it's only dependencies that contain C code that would need further changes. I think you would have to recompile then with cosmopolit

Another problem with the current situation which isn't mentioned in the PEP: I often see people writing `foo_bar or 1` instead of `foo_bar if foo_bar is not None else 1`, which is usually incorrect when a is a number (zero is falsey).
