    It’s largely because military service is mandatory and 8200 is like the MIT or Stanford of Israel.. not some nefarious bullshit about intelligence

    The issue here is the insinuation that it’s a “Jewish” company that is responsible for unhealthy use of cannabis in Greece.

    You live in Greece. You are a physician. It’s a free country. Yet you have chosen to blame a “Jewish company.”

    You also probably have confirmation bias. Given your specialty, you likely have a lot of patients that suffer from neuropathic pain. It’s your job to support them. Is cannabis best for your patients? Perhaps not always as used. It’s your job to help.

    I live in California and cannabis is used here too. Blaming a “Jewish company” is beyond absurd.

    It's not clear to me how true your comment is. I think that if things were as unpredictable as you are saying, there would be insane memory leaks all over the place in Rust (let alone C++) that would be the fault of compilers as opposed to programs, which does not align with my understanding of the world.
  5. leoh
    This is basically my point, in addition to the fact that the time at which data is freed from the heap is far more predictable.
  6. leoh
    Okay, fair point, sort of. Rust does not have a built-in feature to zero data. Rust does automatically drop references to data on the heap. Zeroing data is fairly trivial, whereas in go, the issue is non-trivial (afaiu).

      use std::ptr;
  
  struct SecretData {
      data: Vec<u8>,
  }
  
  impl Drop for SecretData {
      fn drop(&mut self) {
          // Zero out the data
          unsafe {
              ptr::write_bytes(self.data.as_mut_ptr(), 0, self.data.len());
          }
      }
  }

    > On October 30, 2025, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) subpoenaed Archive.today's domain registrar, Tucows. The subpoena stated its purpose is to identify the owner(s) of the archive.today domain name, and that it was part of a criminal investigation conducted by the FBI, the nature of which was not disclosed.[8]

    Kind of stupid it didn’t have something like this to begin with tbh. It really is an incredible oversight when one steps back. I am fully ready to be downvoted to hell for this, but rust ftw.

    Not sure how this is blackmail but ok

    Change the license. There will be CVEs. Require modest payment for updates from large firms.

    Honestly this is still pretty insane.
