Hopefully we'll hear something now that the Christmas holidays are over.
Traditionally an editor would be obligated to review the material and redact info that could be harmful to others. The publisher has distinct liability independent of govt opinion.
> and redact info that could be harmful to others.
of course, these concerns are only applicable when these "others" are Americans and the American institutions.
Everybody else can just fend for themselves.
Whats good for the goose, should be good for the gander. If American journalists feel like there is no problem with disclosing secrets of, say, Maduro, then they should not be protecting people like Trump (just as an example).
Thats what trusted middle men are for, instead of gaining rep among infosec posers on twitter you build rep under your anonymous alias. This is nothing new.
The actual cost of the part (within reason) doesn't matter all that much for a hyperscaler. The real cost is in the perf/watt, which an FPGA is around an order of magnitude worse for the same RTL.
Since we're using English, Argentina is in South America. People in Argentina speak Spanish and would call themselves americanos or sudamericanos. But in actuality they call themselves argentinos because everyone on earth understands that American unambiguously refers to citizens of the USA.
Hello no! If we are speaking English, Argentinians are Americans and so am I, from Brazil. The only thing that is unambiguously an US thing is the concept of calling people from the Americas latinos. Even many Europeans find it stupid.
But when you introduce yourself, do you call yourself Brazilian or American? I think almost everyone would use their nationality, not their continent, to avoid confusion. In English, the two continents are just that: two continents; North and South America, not "America."
> The only thing that is unambiguously an US thing is the concept of calling people from the Americas latinos.
Latino is a term for people with Latin American heritage, meaning those with Spanish or Portuguese linguistic and cultural roots. You're fine with calling yourself American in English but not Latino?
> You're fine with calling yourself American in English but not Latino
Exactly! Latino is a thing created my the US to separate themselves from us. But we all have a very similar history, colonized countries, native Americans almost eradicated then assimilated, slavery, migration from Europe and Asia. The only difference is that the US got richer.
> In English, the two continents are just that: two continents; North and South America, not "America."
In Portuguese too so most of the times I refer to us as South Americans but we are as Americans as people from the US. This is all linguistics/sociology so if/when the pushback is big enough we might be able to eradicate this stupid "latino" concept (that is wrong because there are countries included that speak English, dutch, creole and other languages that are not latinas)

Maybe I'm off base here, but are you aware that most Hispanic people in the US proudly call themselves Latino? It's not a term that Americans use as a mark of separation, it's a cultural/identity thing. You can be Latino American and American American (like from the US), they're not mutually exclusive.
I might be missing your point though, are you saying that the US uses the term differently than the rest of Central and South America?
> I might be missing your point though, are you saying that the US uses the term differently than the rest of Central and South America?
At least the people from Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia don't use the term latino to identify (South) Americans. I guess it is more common from Colombia to Mexico.
You're using a dictionary, its literal job is to show you every possible definition of a word — not the most common sense definition. Maybe try urban dictionary or even Wikipedia?
You claimed: " everyone on earth understands that American unambiguously refers to citizens of the USA "
This is false. As you have just acknowledged in your own comment.
The OED has multiple on record in major print publications examples of use of the word american in multiple contexts. One of those is specific to the United States of America which is the more common usage.
> As you have just acknowledged in your own comment.
I didn't acknowledge that. Instead you told me to check the dictionary which is not at all relevant to what I said. If somebody holding a dictionary came up to you and told you they're American, would you assume they meant they're from the US, or somewhere across two vast continents? Which is more likely? I think you know the answer even if you want to be pedantic about it.
ALGOL68 has much of the memorysafety that rust "invents" yet remains largely unmentioned in the discussion.
There is a point to be had in terms of language design but rust has the community backing and momentum required, time will tell if ALGOL-FOR-LINUX will gather enough interest to pull this off.
