I'm not comparing anything, merely reacting against any attempts to trivialize the very real need for a platform for anonymous dissent. From the lives of the people involved to the stability of the democratic institutions themselves, t

Probably, but doing it correctly would require a whole different type of opsec expertise that should not realistically be expected from someone who is getting their security tips from The Intercept.

This addresses shop cameras, not street-level government surveillance that would be accessible for 10+ years and is trivially addressable by the time and location of the transaction.

It would be very irresponsible to recommend buying a burner phone to people trying to stay anonymous. At the very least, it would give away your location even if you somehow manage to remain unrecorded by street CCTVs in the vicinity of the

What about the laws of thermodynamics, pretty oppressive if you ask me. Better oppose that too.

Take a minute and reflect on the fact that you're arguing Turing had nothing to do with mathematical logic. His doctoral advisor was Church, his work based on Gödel, his thesis named Systems of Logic Based on Ordinals . Comments like

Sadly, Turing wasn't aware of this at the time -- think of the real world impact he could have had.

Funny how things turned out. I still remember this post[1], it was profoundly disappointing to see Guido's way of thinking. Much of the damage was reversed but it still left an indelible impression that there's a lack of vision fo

It should also be added that most of this work is being done publicly and is open to new contributors. You can check Voevodsky's github page[1], and most of the other HoTT collaborators are active members as well. The HoTT book itself

Please read the context of the first post--I'm referring to the engineers behind the specifically mentioned Buran program, an autonomous spaceplane that launched, flew and landed with no crew. If the Soviets deemed it too risky for hum

The failure modes of rocket engines could be explosions but nobody says you can't have multiple redundant engines on a single rocket. In fact, in 2012 Falcon 9 demonstrated exactly that: one of their 9 Merlin engines blew up but the

"These people" that designed the spaceplane didn't put their lives on the line, they put the lives of the pilots on the line. And I would trust the judgment of the engineers at Boeing, Sierra Nevada, SpaceX, Lockheed-Martin a

It is demonstrably avoidable, there is zero need to risk human lives when doing testing these days. This is why Sierra Nevada's Dream Chaser has the capability to land autonomously and is precisely why when it had an accident in 2013[1
