From the perspective of someone trying to package nodejs, building it is a complete dumpster fire. GYP (generate your projects) is a now defunct and poorly thought out build tool that node heavily relies on with it's native C/C++ modules. Cross compiling is completely broken and I am honestly surprised it builds reliability for the native target.

It has been like this forever and periodically someone complains, but then they just go out and buy another mac and keep producing software for macOS. If you want this to change, stop providing financial support.

If google really cared about security, they would place ad's for shady apps right above the 2fa or banking app I searched for to install.

My local family owned tacoria now sells a $14 burrito in LA. The rest of the prices outlined in this article are also on par with LA pricing. It's hard to find a more expensive place to live the California.

That would make logical sense; instead we will tax oil company profits and disincentivize increasing refining capacity. It's pretty amazing our governor didn't care about this issue until it was an election year. Now all of a sudden he is sick and tired of this price gouging.

There is no common key in the MITM scenario. It's still securely encrypted using over the counter algorithms, but instead of the end users exchanging keys, you exchange with the MITM and different key sets are used by both parties.

I think the governments all still want strong encryption, but with a man-in-the-middle style eavesdrop point at the tech company where the NSA or whoever can perform their inspection on all the communication flowing through the service. This is certainly not to protect the children but more likely for terrorist monitoring with the added bonus of vacuuming up your dick pics. It should be more secure than back-dooring AES/RSA/ECC, but it still has the potential to compromise quite a bit of information and basically does away with what little privacy any end user has left.

Fail to see how that matters in states like California and when the former presidential candidate lost with a surplus of 2.5 million votes. Your vote for president only really matters in a handful of states regardless of how many popular votes you tally.
