What about winning hearts and minds?
Fighting ennemies while antagonising civilians create new ennemies. I fear that strategy is fueling an endless war, rather than ending a war.

The Richmond farm uses 97% less land
Sounds too good to be true. Does this account for land use of the electricity production system?
For every 10sqm saved in farm area, how many extra sqm does the energy production require?
I know it’s possible to put solar on rooftop. But it’s also possible to have a greenhouse on the rooftop or last floor of a building, and greenhouses need almost no energy in comparison.
The electromagnetic force from the atoms’ respective electron cloud probably help prevent atom from getting close to each other. And the strong nuclear force also help prevent atom from splitting.
NOYB has the right to send a complaint if it think a company infringe upon right to privacy. Mozilla isn’t entitled to special treatment or special notice before filling a complaint.
Mozilla should have expected this. They claim to defend users privacy so they should understand why consent for data collection is important. Also there was public outcry and criticism of opt-out, and yet they haven’t backed down.
If Mozilla resolve these issues, NOYB could ask for the complaint to be dropped. I hope they do resolve this, and do drop the complaint.
Why not mandate that 3 meals a week have at least X g of protein and Y g of fiber?
That’d be a better way to ensure healthy meals with proteins without requiring meat.
Because using children as guinea pigs is unethical. The cure is uncertain and there are known risks.
Before considering a ban, we should start by fairly taxing flights and burning of fossil fuel in general. That would include closing the loophole that makes plane ticket and plane fuel exempt of taxes. And of course a carbon tax.
That’d be probably enough to significantly reduce pollution from flights and data centers.
They’re looking for a way to save the live of people in respiratory distress, such as intensive care patient with Covid19 and damaged lungs.
Doctors and biology researchers need to move passed the ick factor sometimes to make progress. Joking about it is a good way to do that.
Thankfully, regulators aren’t betting on perfect reliability to keep these power plants safe. Critical systems need to have double redundancy.
Thanks for the links, it’s interesting background. In that article from February 2021, The Artlantic states “There was also never a default”.
There was indeed no default as of February 2021. The default occured later, in April-May 2022, so we can’t expect a past article to include that information.
All major lenders need to take part in restructuring the debt indeed. That occured in 2023, and multiple lenders asked for a restructuring deal similar to the first one signed with China. I don’t know about the US, but Japan/India/French lender were looking for a similar restructuration terms. That sounds fair to me.
The country’s default is clear evidence the overall debt wasn’t sustainable. Both Sri Lanka and its lenders have a responsibility on this. China is often the first mentioned because it was (still is?) Sri Lanka’s biggest foreign lender, although it would be good to have transparency of the country’s debt and interest rates on a per-lender basis, to see which ones are the most sustaonables.
The 2022 bloomberg article you cite first state:
It didn’t provide details on the value of the loans which it said matured at the end of 2021, nor did it state which nations owed the money.
I couldn’t read much further due to the paywal.
The Bloomberg article has too few details to make conclusions. We don’t know if AP and Bloomberg articles are referring to the same countries, nor whether it’s a significant portion or that country’s debt toward China.
The Reuters 2021 article has more details, and cite write-offs, as well as specific countries benefiting from deferrals: Angola, Pakistan, Kenya, the Republic of Congo. It’s good to read there’s some willingness to accomodate some countries.
Sadly that didn’t prevent Zambia and Sri Lanka from defaulting. China has lended hundred of billion of dollars with unsustainable terms, and this contributed to countries defaulting. That’s a bad situation for everyone involved.
I hope Tanzania and Zambia read the fine pints on the loan/inversement agreement.
Knowledge of the account is an obvious caveat. Yubikey-based MFA is an added layer of protection for accounts, so any kind of attack against MFA assumes the attacker already knows which account to target.
It’s like saying “our door lock is flawed, but the attacker would need to have knowledge of the door”.
The cost and complexity is what’s noteworthy and is more relevant. Although attack cost and complexity usuallu goes down with advances in tooling and research. So it may be a good idea to plan a progressive retirement of affected keys.
While that’s true, but there’s no indication of Microsoft brute forcing with million of combinations.
The article you link says Microsoft is only trying a few obvious passwords: the filename, and words found in the plaintext message.
Proper encryption isn’t just about using a strong algorithm. It’s also about proper key management, ie not sending the password in the clear via the same channel as the encrypted files.
Better late than never.
ZIP isn’t a good way to encrypt, but what Microsoft is doing is simply reading the email, and decrypting zips with the password found in the email body.
All encryptions schemes can be trivially broken if you have the key. It’s not even breaking, it’s just normal decryption.
I guess integration with Google Drive is a big convenience for users.
But yes, if the cost of getting access is to high for indie developers, then it make sense to avoid Google Drive. Creating and maintaining your own cloud sync service for a specific app may not be worth it, they should investigate integration with existing Google Drive competitors/alternatives.
