Three Republican senators introduced a bill this week to codify "lawful access," a legal framework that would allow law enforcement to access encrypted digital devices with signed court orders. Apparently, gentlemen *do* read each other's mail
Yeah, a little political, and only just proposed legislation.
Sorry.
But as this is even caused a minor discussion in my inbox, I think it's worth it.

I was expecting it since the beginning of that situation with Apple saying "no" to the enforcements law last time.
With the promise of security trying to get give some steps in the direction of control.

Quote: "Tech companies' increasing reliance on encryption has turned their platforms into a new, lawless playground of criminal activity," Cotton said in a statement. "Criminals from child predators to terrorists are taking full advantage. This bill will ensure law enforcement can access encrypted material with a warrant based on probable cause and help put an end to the Wild West of crime on the Internet."
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Tom Cotton is an idiot if he thinks this is going to put even a small dent into crime on the 'net.
Wait. I should have removed the "if". He ranks at the bottom of the intelligence spectrum in Congress, right there with Louie Gohmert. Lindsey Graham is no different, with his allegiance going to the highest bidder and thinking nobody notices his flip-flopping stances.
With all the open source implementations of crypto out there, what's to stop someone from building their own encrypted, under the radar platforms? NOTHING! It has already happened!

Like back in the day with PGP - Phil Zimmerman was pretty much considered an international terrorist for that.

Well, then of course there have to be laws to make open source crypto implementations illegal!
But seriously, the Russia-collusion hoax proves that they can lie to the courts and get warrants without any probable cause, so warrants mean nothing these days.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Microsoft has collaborated with Harvard University’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science to create a first-of-its-kind open-source platform for differential privacy. The technology will allow researchers to preserve user privacy while performing analysis on datasets. In case you need to keep your differential private?

GitHub has redesigned its web repository layout for an "improved mobile web experience", but developers were quick to find flaws in the new approach. Cheese was moved

Article said: GitHub said that its new design has three key features. First, a responsive layout to improve usability on mobile web browsers.
Because there are tons of serious devs who are accessing GitHub from mobile web browsers. 
Imagine developing code from a mobile device...no, wait...don't. It'll make you cringe too much to even think about it.

Most of the features are now in the product, but some are not yet in their final state. We expect that the release will be feature-complete with Preview 8. Because it's been over two weeks since the last time you got to install a preview build
"We announced support for Windows ARM64 as part of Preview 4. At that time, we had only enabled console and ASP.NET Core apps on Windows ARM64. The Preview 6 SDK now includes support for Windows Forms. That means you can build and run Windows Forms apps on Windows ARM64 devices, just like you would on x64. We’re still working on adding support for WPF on Windows ARM64."
WinForms and WPF were that tightly bundled to Win32 on Intel?

Quote: Removal of built-in WinRT support in .NET 5.0

More recently, we’ve been working closely with[...]
WinRT interop can be developed and improved separate from the .NET runtime.
I've seen announcement like this before. So which one is going to be deprecated... or re-prioritised, or downplayed?

Did the Wolowitz Zero-Gravity Waste Disposal System not meet snuff?
Anyways... Toilet Design Specifications The specifications listed below represent the maximum allowed values. Proposed designs should at least meet them and will preferentially be lower than them. The toilet design should:
Have a mass of less than 15 Kg in Earth’s gravity
Pardon me, but mass is independent of gravity; and will remain constant regardless if you are in outer space or sitting on Jupiter.
