Eastern Orthodox Christmas is not on Dec 25 so the argument for EE is not as air tight as the author thinks it is

I agree, but the social engineering parts do feel particularly cruel

Mild spoiler, but I could not find corroboration for the black axe human sacrifice claims anywhere on the internet

It seems like other VPN vendors are slapping obfuscation on top of OpenVPN and advertising their service as unobservable. This paper contests that claim

Economic freedom follows rule of law. And enforcing rule of law is not a passive activity. Free markets are only possible when governments take an active and benevolent role in society

Wow I didn’t realize that. I only got the sanitized version of the story from Ira Glass

Reading NextDoor completely disabused me of any notion that smaller government is better. It seems like everyone involved in local politics is an absolute crank. You can see this clearly in New Hampshire were the goofy libertarians who moved from other states gang up to defund public schools.

At least with the Feds they are under a constant microscope. The most heinous corrupt shit in America almost always happens at the local level because they can get away with it

For anyone interested in 3, Google’s BeyondCorp whitepapers are an excellent starting point

I’ve seen projects that use a mix of unsigned int, size_t, and off_t variable declarations with implicit conversions between them. This seems like a security hazard if you are handling user input because just checking the original input may be insufficient. size_t in general seems extra ridiculous because max(size_t) is a common sentinel value returned by methods and if you aren’t careful and add to max(size_t) it wraps around to -1.
