And if you’re craving even more telecoms history after that (as I was when I read it a few years ago) Arthur C Clarke’s “How the World Was One” goes into the history of undersea cables and other telecoms technologies https://en.m

Can Linux not trivially do the same thing as windows with LD_PRELOAD? If so why is this more of an issue on Linux than Windows? Is it really less a technical challenge and more just a matter of Linux getting less support from upstream devel

The https certificate “expiration” date is basically just a “fallback to treating this website as http” date. The site is still perfectly accessible and arguably still more secure than an http only site, you just have to click the scary but

Small nitpick: it isn’t entirely true that cryptography is “all or nothing”. With things like time lock crypto and proof of work you can effectively have a scheme where large scale snooping is impossible (would take too much compute), but a

The riscv system is emulated in software whereas the x86 system is virtualized using kvm.

Is this true? Why can’t qemu use kvm for user mode emulation?

The comparison with QEMU is with KVM disabled, right? Assuming this is true, how does it compare with KVM enabled?

Do you mean to say both FTX and effective altruism are Ponzi schemes? Obviously SBF and FTX turned out to be a huge fraud, but while EA benefited from the fraud mostly unknowingly (although there are open questions as to whether they should

So are there any mitigations for curl users? Anyone know if it's possible to disable IDN by default, and only enable it when (if ever) its needed?

That's fascinating and an incredible example of long term planning. Do you have a source for this? edit: A very cursory check of the Wikipedia page and https://www.vox.com/2017/9/13/16288364/streampu

If we’re thinking of the same clip with Matt Levine, I think your characterization is a bit misleading. IIRC Matt Levine was definetly not calling FTX a Ponzi scheme, but yield farming. SBF and FTX (or maybe Alameda?) participated in yield

If they took down their website tomorrow would their market cap change at all? Are these then perhaps some of the least “valuable bytes” which explains the website’s design?

I don't know why it would feel like that. The EA community came out immediately and very forcefully in opposition to SBF and this perversion of EA philosophy since the FTX blow up [1] and they have been vocally opposed to shady practic

Would it be fair to call this a bug in nextafterf? If this FPU flag is enabled it would seem like returning a denormal here is incorrect as it isn’t representable in this cpu in this configuration.
