Any online service typically keeps some amount of logging. A fully encrypted online service can certainly hand over some amount access and account information, and in my experience that's plenty enough for law enforcement to go and do the normal police detective work they're used to doing.
Probably because they want cameras they know will work and survive in a deep-space environment. Space is hard. Once you get out of the atmosphere and magnetosphere, it's an unkind environment for electronics. They're probably going to spend the money, effort, and mass on some nice cameras for manned missions, but these are little cameras that mount to the ends of the solar arrays.
> while a number of blobs are required in order to boot the system, none of those have the ability to take over the OS or compromise it post-boot (unlike, say, Intel ME and AMD PSP on recent systems, or the DMA-capable chips on the LPC bus running opaque blobs that exist on even old ThinkPads).
It's designed first and foremost to be a language to help compilers turn large matrix math operations into automagically vectorized and parallelized operations. If Rust is the language for close-to-metal memory-safe systems programming instead of C, modern (F90 and later) Fortran is the language for close-to-metal high-performance computational programming instead of C.
Thinking about it, I'd say the comparison to Rust for mastery of its particular domain is actually quite apt.
> The last-modified headers indicate that the front page and docs have not been updated since May 2018. This is not a viable platform and the analysis of Twitter's technical shortcomings is facile. The original 140 character limit, now doubled to 280 characters, was originally constrained by the SMS interface Twitter supported but ultimately imposes a preferred content style that distinguishes the microblogging experience.
Your analysis of Blerg's analysis of Twitter's technical shortcomings is facile. It's a system that the author put together while intoxicated to poke fun at Twitter. Reading any more into it than that is at best highly unadvised.
> It's very common to think about computer security primarily in terms of fixing vulnerabilities. In reality, security teams spend a lot of their time on a different goal: making bugs hard to exploit. This often takes the form of lowering privileges and introducing exploit mitigations. Windows 10 has a lot of investment in those areas, whereas Windows 7 doesn't contain any of the improvements made in the last several years. That's why even though Windows 7 continues to receive security bug fixes from Microsoft, it is considerably less safe to use.

For global communication, it helps to form a mental model of the other side. When you pick up the phone to call someone else, knowing it's 1am there would typically indicate you should likely think twice before calling.
It's a crutch to enable a more convenient mental model for most people to relate to what time of day it is 'over there'. Otherwise, sure, there's no real point.
