If you aren’t aware of it already, you might be interested to read about Russell’s paradox [1] which shows a problem with allowing sets to be defined into existence without restriction (making Frege’s life’s work the Grundgesetze stillborn). It involves using the “set” of all things that are not a member of themselves.

“Google Project Zero maintains public policies around vulnerability publication and attribution”

Explaining to those who may not be experts what some of the consequences of aforementioned policies are, which they might find surprising, would be educational. Obviously it worked: we read it and came hear to comment :(

Anyone else unable to load the app after install? I’m on a VPN so maybe that’s the problem. Kinda desirable attribute to be able to access from less personally identifiable network locations.
