<p>It's amusing you can self identify this way without much hesitation. My personal experience with colleagues and family on both sides of the regional, religious, lijguistic, and cultural debate is that if you talked about being a non-Muslim supporter of political Islamists or up to including Hamas or similar groups, so anywhere in that continuum inclusive, few in Western or Israeli media will hesistate in labelling you in a way common with these talking points: a terrorist.<p>So good luck to you, but I'm not surprised you'd stay private
 But my anecdata (or some may call life experience) tell me you'd be fine and fare well where a similarly extreme position on the opposite end of the spectrum would cost you a lot personally and professionally. I wish we all reflected in the West or in tje region or conflict area, well, why is that?<p>For the record since I inevitably get routinely called an anti-Semite anyway: I think Hamas and groups like them are vile, but many in the region opposing them don't take the high road by comparison either. Im nkt sure if its recent or monitoring that become easier and more economical, but that means their opponents with this crap and other tactics have really screwed up. This HN post further supports my cynicism and disappointment.</p>

<p>I went in the last few years to Porugal with my partner and it was so beautiful and modern history was so dark and rich and self aware. I loved Lisbon and Porto. I immediately went back to the site of what I call the Museum of Torture in Lisbon which was essentially the old political prison with the worst rep. They did a fantastic job breaking down torture and the collapse of the end of Portuguese colonialism and fascist rule. Now that I think of it maybe one of my top three museum experiences. Do go if you ever have a chance.<p><a href="https://www.museudoaljube.pt/en/" rel="nofollow">https://www.museudoaljube.pt/en/</a></p>

<p>I traveled some in college to not so tourist friendly places and then worked as an expat in IT and I feel so fortunate for the same takeaways I am bitter and cynical as an American but defend the other at home and abroad because it made me keenly aware of our shared perspective It always makes me often wallow in guilt it took a privileged family to kick that off and let me learn it far away and not build up such empathy at home.<p>When I read shared experiences like ours on the Internet it reminds me of what I think is the one true value of this tool for humanity I wish it was used for that the majority of the time by most people but oh well!</p>

<p>Point made, I meant this take threw me for a curve (not that it this too was spicy), re your point 3. I didn't make that clear. I just know your other takes so I was being cute about it. I don't know you that well so 1-4 are valid, and I am famously not a Mac user in my personal life. I know I am full of anecdata and that shit doesn't matter, but I appreciate the detailed follow up to confirm: 616c, your choices are great but not so empirical, here is what I think.</p>

<p>You've been known for your hot takes past and present, but this one threw me for a curve.<p>Is there empirical data on this? I think many in the security industry believe this. I ironically use FF if we can accept personal beliefs since I believe people attack the Chrome sandbox as a badge of honor and I can use containers to isolate state to different personas. That said also anecdata bullshit take on my part.</p>

<p>> I think this bug is probably a contender for the top 3 practical cryptography vulnerabilities on the Internet. Its close cousin, Vaudenay's CBC padding oracle, is a lock for #1. Then it's just down to whether nonce reuse is #2 or #3.<p>Is this top 3 list from some public resource that exists and I am a noob who missed the reference and how the community knows what the Top 3 are? If not a resource would love to see it or help make it.<p>P.S. Been loving SCW podcast from time to time when I can list, keep up the good work!</p>

<p>They become a very high value target though and I have learned "security software" devs are as fallible as all devs, sometimes more.<p>Thycotic had some vulnerability with a symmetric recovery key a few years ago. But comprehensive product like this or roll your own this is frequent so I'd rather do keys and certs like others suppose</p>
