@KimSJ as a former government employee who was honored to work for the public i am so conflicted about the role of government (and particularly my government, the warmonger). the US NIST was trusted worldwide for cryptographic standards, and with DUAL_EC_DRBG by the NSA we lost that trust. i hoped very much to work with the FTC—they demonstrated the government has real power. lina khan in particular is a rare genius who bent the law back into shape after decades of weakening. but we see now with the NSF (the science funding that powers the nation) it can all be lost in the blink of an eye.
