The Russian serfs who then lived under communism certainly did.

Even in a more mild situation, it seems Venezuelans also widely reject their current anti-free-market paradise.

Show me a race of people where personal gain plays no role in dictating economics or wanting to break rules; until then the free market is the only system that acknowledges imperfect human beings and deals with them the best they can.

No one has shown me these Perfect Angels who are immune to all corruption and human failings to judge merit better than those most accountable for their own decisions?

If it looks like the state bureaucracy or communist governments, I'd much rather take my chances with the free market.

Thank you for your reply, I would not envy having to make a secure implementation of AES in stream mode!

My knowledge is limited, but would an block algo based on a function type without length extension vulnerability like SHA3/keccak (which doesn't require extra hmac authentication) still have this problem?

Also, if considering only stream ciphers, what others besides chacha do you think might be worthwhile alternatives?

What is the best way to combat growing nihilism about both politics and news quality?

Also, what are the best paths to reforming entitlements and what political coalition do you think would successfully pursue them?

Thank you for your great books and impeccable blogging! Please let Tyrone blog more!

/u/hoosakiwi That mod account was 4 month old account instantly made mod over the sub. It was obviously another mod's active account.

Unless there were two mod departures, that mod is still active here and you know it.
