NSA data internment is not a red herring, its one of the raisin darts [sic] for crippling encrypton - the goal is to keep everything forever and mine it later. strong encryption presumably breaks that use model (save quantum computing and t

That's absolutely the case, and although I might daydream about this reverse baby/bathwater scenario r.e. the judicial system and encryption - we well know that always on e2ee will be circumvented, by hook or by crook. I mean, Blu

> someone who expects to build a tube with no stops across a whole state is going to learn a bit about politics. The entire thing is a pipe dream

The irony being of course is that Coinbase is literally a financial instution but given confirmation time inherent to the network, I don't see a way around doing something similar to what coinbase have done here (minus the egregious pa

I cannot think of an anime film particularly that is as prescient as Ghost in the Shell. For my money, the best non Miyazaki piece of art the genre ever produced.
