Whenever the master branch and slave branch thing comes up people say that it's fine because it has nothing to do with slavery.

The thing I don't understand is, even if it had something to do with slavery, why is that harmlful?

Would you mind sharing who those independent fact checkers are?

Except for the fact iMessage is well known for its RCEs as well: search for "iMessage RCE" you will find them.

Furthermore (this may not be the case anymore), iMessage is more privileged than other apps and so once exploited an attacker has a far greater reach.

How about no?

Why do we need to add further complexity into the already complex thing that are browsers?

As the post mentions at the beginning, this can already be done with pre-processing. What do we gain by having more syntax sugar?

I don't think that statement refers to rust at all. It's just referring to the fact the software is open source and the user's data doesn't go through a third-party

> written in Zig instead of C++, uses significantly less memory, and represents a modest performance improvement

That's particularly interesting considering the rust compiler in rust has never been as fast as the original OCaml one

> At Google's scale, I don't think there are enough humans on Earth to deal with the abuse.

I disagree.

Some time ago, a person (on HN, although it may have been somewhere else) did an estimate of what it would take for Google to review all 500 hrs of video uploaded to YouTube every minute.

The result was that Google could more than afford it.

Based on that I don't see any reason Google couldn't add more humans to deal with these ban appeals.
