At last, Joan Daemen loses a NIST contest. :)

Presumably it helped that Ascon was also a CAESAR finalist.

Ascon is a Duplex Sponge construction, and an extremely good introduction to that concept is here:

(Xoodyak, Coda's preferred Duplex, was a contestant --- Daemen's contestant, in fact.)

Right-click open in incognito works, but definitely annoying

Joan Daemen even lost twice in one competition! Subterranean 2.0, another Duplex, didn't make it past round 2.

Why is it good that he lost?

They are joking about it, because he used to win. There's nothing good or bad about him losing.
