Using TEEs to bind key release to specific workload code rather than relying on the kubernetes control plane

this is cool! I discovered the hard way that rust doesn't do reproducible builds, so this is a nice way round it

I don't think it's unfortunate - in principle, return on investment today can achieve greater humanitarian impact tomorrow vs humanitarian impact today.

Of course, this creates a perverse situation where choosing humanitarian impact today over investment is always irrational, but this is the fundamental tension in charity vs investment, and aside from relying on governments and guilt, I'm not sure we have discovered a great model to solve it

So are you suggesting that every time an employee commits a crime, CEOs should go to jail alongside them?

Every time a politician commits an offence the president/prime minister should go to prison?

Every time a pupil breaks the law, the principal of the school should go to prison?

I'd suggest the reason 'no on else seems to have learned' it is because it's a ridiculous and impractical idea. Should CEOs (etc) be punished if they knowingly aid and abet crime and/or cover it up? Sure, I think most people are on board with that.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” - C.S. Lewis

It's not mentioned here, but at some point there were studies suggesting that alternating heat and cold gave improved recovery over cold (ofc now we know that cold is debunked, the question is whether heat and cold improves recovery over doing nothing or adding heat)

I went to see a recent swiss comedy film - "Bon schuur Ticino" - and it was hilarious. Granted, a lot of the humour might go over the heads of people who haven't lived in Switzerland, but there's definitely comedy

I've also never had particular problems making connections over chat (I'm not old and not young); particularly in companies where I've had a chance to meet people in person even once or twice, I've found online communication no problem at all
