Either real-time bidding data or app SDK data is being bought and used by ICE to seize people from the streets. If you didn’t believe that the adtech stack is a human rights concern, I’m not sure what more evidence you need. www.404media.co/ice-to-buy-t...
ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day
Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

Rust has frustrating deficiencies; the issue tracker has excellent explanations, but my expectations exceeded reality.
I have been able to solve each problem thus far, but in ways that feel like ugly workarounds to cover for missing features.

Regarding your pastebeam client, a random nonce should be no faster than an incrementing nonce(assuming your hash function is uniformly distributed).
Also, to make the work difficulty depend on message size, you must prefix the nonce, not the salt.

Taking great interest in a subject you discovered on your own is not getting nerd sniped.
Nerd sniping is done to you by another person. A concept cannot nerd snipe you. You cannot nerd snipe yourself. There are other terms for that.

I agree with your critiques of DNS in your libp2p talk, the DNS we have today is antithetical to privacy.

Naïvely pasting “curl | bash” is insecure.
I am not naïve.
Therefore, I shrewdly type “git clone && make” instead to get the artisanal security nightmares.

Modern processors are so complicated, we should say “hardware interpreted” vs “software interpreted” languages instead of interpreted vs compiled languages.
Too many syllables so probably not, but it seems more correct.
