#rust adherents are deluded in believing the idea that merely memory access violations are the only kind of way in which the security of software is breached

firstly, this only applies to binary code running on physical or virtualized hardware, where a kernel is managing access to memory - it isn't relevant to such runtime environments like WASM or JVM because they already have automatic access controls and generally are not targeted by languages that have pointer arithmetic

secondly, more often the problem comes from poorly constructed access control systems, where simplicity of the code is the key thing to enabling the developers to notice that there is a problem and prevent the code running in the wild to be exploited by hackers looking to breach potentially valuable user data

thus, the more complex and circuitous the language syntax is, the more ways in which it can be made completely idiosyncratic by the use of macro programming, the harder it is to learn the language, ie, the more complex the syntax, the more ways in which errors in ACL systems can be introduced and lead to methods to bypass the ACL and/or privilege escalate to enable read/write access to data that is supposed to be privileged

and lastly, a hard to understand, and difficult to learn memory management system, that prevents the aforementioned buffer overflow attacks, creates a false sense of security for those who make decisions about what language to implement a system with

most of the shitcoins now run smart contracts written in rust, and unless i'm mistaken, the frequency of breaches and hacks has not changed one iota

#fuckrust

The only way to avoid bugs is to be a good programmer, and for that, the language doesn't matter.

Being said that, I must admit that pure functional languages are just much better at forcing the programmer to write good code.

As a libertarian/ancap, I don't think that immigration or emigration or whatever should be ilegal, as the freedom of movement is an essential right. But the problem here is not that this immigration use for free the services that the rest of the population is forced to pay at high cost (>60% of the income usually ends up in taxes).

If they weren't being helped and had to pay for everything, immigrants just wouldn't come, and this is where the problem lays.

Esto es como lo del banquero Mario Conde, una contradicción imposible. Un banquero que defienda Bitcoin mientras por otro crea un agujero de más de 3 mil millones por imprimir dinero sin control.

En este caso, piénsalo por un instante: por un lado por tu boca sale que el gobierno es una estafa, pero por otra, tu profesión consiste en asesorar sobre como ser robado eficientemente (que no sea mucho, solo un poquito). Es contradicción e hipocresía.

Yo creo que este tipo de individuos hacen más mal que bien, y tú entrevistándolos dejas entrever que en realidad no quieres salir del sistema, sino quizá tener más visitas y marear la perdiz de los bitcoiners, a los que terminas confundiendo. No tiene sentido que unos cuantos videos atrás enseñes como hacer coinjoin y luego un poco después entrevistes e incluso recomiendes a criminales banqueros, y asesores fiscales.

Como bien decimos los maxis, "all your heros are compromised".

All socialists think their feelings of security are more important than your freedom.

I'm going to tell you why: because fiat is not your money, and what you think is your bank account, isn't yours.

When you enter money into account you're agreeing with a contract that basically give up your sovereignty over that money to the bank, which at the same time plays under the rules of the central bank.

Fiat money is just a debt contract whose final beneficiary is the central bank, and it's a scam to keep you enslaved.

Yep, they are trying to do with BTC what they did with Gold a hundred years ago.

Let people fall for the scam of believing that a paper representing a promise is the same or even better than the real thing, and then use the real thing you really control to slave them.

But this time it is not going to work, because they can only have a fraction of Bitcoin and they can't stop us to self custody. Plus we are well informed.

No regulation. Everybody regulates him/herself.

I don't need anybody, and much less that mafia called gov, what I can see and what I can't see.

As long as nobody is abused and did it voluntarily, any content is ok.

A similar strategy shown by LaCaixa, a bank in Spain, but here they even call you and block your attempts to use exchanges:

Replying to Avatar SBW

I did.

Then you are ready to go.

Nobody is ready because it would mean nuclear apocalypse.

I posted a history of an Spanish Don Quixote defending Venezuelans from English pirates.

And 60000000000000 bits (6 petabytes) of information contained in the DNA just happened to be coded perfectly out of coincidence.

Got stopped by the congress, in which his party doesn't have enough votes.
