Smoking-related cancer is mostly due to nitrosamines. Nicotine can have adverse effects on heart, pancreas, and blood vessels, but replacing sooty nicotine inhaling with non-sooty is less cancer-risky.

Please, don't try to interpret my mood, it can quickly make it childish. Feel free to argue over other advantages you believe it has.

I'm not sure we are on the same page here. Having control over a channel you use to pass your code, I can receive your secret file, I just need to be quicker than a legitimate recipient. How this '--verify' flag will help you

Well, it's nice when phone is considered secure channel. It's not so for many serious applications, however. PGP invented to deal with situations when you communication channels are untrusted. See, no one says your software is bad

Flag won't make it better. If user needs to run own server, it kills the only advantage in comparison with PGP - relative simplicity.

Running my own server for occasional file transfer is when it becomes even smarter alternative to PGP, isn't it?

Also magic-wormhole relies on a hardcoded intermediary servers for which author gives no guarantees.

So author offers to replace PGP for sending files with a piece of software which requires to send/say a password to your recipient? Oh yeah, that's smart, and very modern!

I almost loved this idea on the first sight, but on the second I'm not sure I see how it can work. Will you mandate Apple to make iOS installable on Huawei's devices? If not, why? If yes, how? Who will bear responsibility if Sailf

You are referring to undefined terms to define undefined terms: "common good" is not something obvious in this particular situation. Food is poor example here because toxicity is more, or less the common denominator here, while sa

I'm not sure any of us has a right to speak for every consumer. I live in a country were majority would likely prefer cheaper devices w/o any security guarantees. Forcing producers to provide 5(?)-years updates will make prices ri

Softpedia ironically proves their story doesn't make any sense. Microsoft’s Security Response Center revealed that most of the cyber-attacks aimed at Windows computers aren’t based on patched exploits, but on zero days. Apparently it

The study explores the possible way to sustain a bigger brain well before invention of tools, and controlled fire. It's also absolutely not about hunting. It's always hit or miss when one tries to comment after reading just a hea

Well, I have already agreed FP jobs aren't plenty :-) Business executives mostly prefer to stick to beaten paths, and it's understandable. I just don't see a tragedy here. OCaml was born in 1996, if I'm not mistaken, so

True, except they don't include languages just for being smaller (we don't see Befunge, or Unlambda there), but those associated with smartness, and passion for learning. In context of the discussion (dead/alive state), I wou

Using "title:" you meaninglessly narrowed your search. There are postings like "Software engineer" with body saying "Developing with JS, and Clojure" which won't appear in your results. Number of "Clo

It's very believable that language plays a role. However, such arguments happen between people with the same mother tongue. So those color axioms could be defined on a community, or even a family level. Within a population speaking one

I actually heard a lot of silly arguments between people who all have the same native language about orange vs red vs pink, or where is the border between blue and green. So not so sure it's about language, or culture.

It really depends on one's knowledge/skill/experience in a particular field, so there's no "vs".

What do you mean by flexibility here?

Did you read the text? The goal is not a portable SSH client, but a sort of traveling admin's Swiss army knife device, hence relatively small size (but large enough to host a keyboard), and a lot of ports. Isn't it obvious that iP

The distinction you are talking about is sports being included into pop culture. My remark was about media landscape. The thing Brits call "tabloid" (not referring to paper size) exists everywhere, it's just that football pla

I don't see it that way. Could it be some sort of culturally narrow stereotyping on you side? As for the topic I'm interested if you really feel it ok for you to be a subject of a soft form of parental control from a commercial en

There are no countries where there are media, but no "tabloids" (also the term can be different). The UK is not that unique as you seem to believe.

My immediate reaction to a browser giving unsolicited advices about quality of the contents is to download another browser. I'm not a kid, thank you.

Protection of a generic word within particular context may be absolutely fair. Say, you made an OS, and called it "Pretzel". You can't go, and prohibit anyone to call their pretzels pretzels, but if some big corpo Shmoogle

I'm not sure I you've read my comment in full. This condition is (according to what story tells) more easily manageable, both medically, and socially, then many cosmetic defects, and some cases of diabetes.

How do you define "suffering"? From the story I don't see anything for what I would use such a strong word. Psychologically, some sort of "specialness" (and author tells us it's both bad, and good for a kid) is
