That would work with TLS 1.2, but not TLS 1.3. TLS 1.3 sends the certificate after the session key is derived and symmetric encryption is established.

What Merck did was rookie numbers, what about Genghis Khan?

Whataboutism aside, "having too few lobbyists and FDA insiders" isn't going to save a product that doesn't work and that doctors stop relying on. Once people were shown behind the curtain, it was game over.

Not in a URL generally, and if it is the only people who can see the full URL are the receiver and the sender if HTTPS is properly enabled.

There are some difference in client wifi interfaces (STA) and access point wifi interfaces (APs, like you'd find on a good router). For example, some wifi interfaces don't have promiscuous mode, or can't scan while maintaining an active connection, etc.

It's like the difference between softmodems (aka winmodems) and full hardware modems. I know there are some projects that use Raspberry Pis as an AP, and it could do like 10 devices stock and 20 devices with firmware changes. Even a low-end router could handle more clients than that.

You can have a multiuser system but that doesn't solve this particular issue. If they log in to what you claim to be your primary account and see browser history that shows you went to msn.com 3 months ago, they aren't going to believe it's the primary account.

Miguel de Icaza is kind of a legend, I know him most from his work on Mono and Gnome. Whatever he works on today will likely be part of a stack you work on in a few years (at least that's my experience).

The user can change anything they want, but a process launched by your user doesn't inherit every user access by default. You (the user) can give a process full disk access, or just access to your documents, or just access to your contacts, etc. It's maximizing user control, not minimizing it.

It's also how Google generally brands consumer-facing products, which is just Google + Noun. Most of their non-enterprise products tend to have unambiguous names (Google Search, Google Maps, Google Calendar, Google Translate).
