If you're trying to equate the psychological impact of things like 9/11 to the equivalent number of coal deaths or traffic accidents then I'm not sure the lack of logical thinking is limited to them.

The executive branch of US gov, also didn't do one bit to relax the minds of "us". Instead they waved the red (and the US-) flag quite a lot and they put oil on the flame of fear. That by itself is criminal enough. But they went further and further... We know the history.

And one week later a massive explosion in West, Texas killed a lot more people. Yet somehow we only talk about the Boston bombers.

It is a theater, but the NSA got way too far. And even the motto of "100% security" by Obama is complete nonsense. Because it didn't stop the massive explosion in West, Texas, nor the Boston bombings.

Their problem is a lack of logical thinking.

... than any other language??? I am not talking about Go here. Rust gets more coverage than any other language these days.

I bet there are more postings about Rust than any other language these days.

(nagging mode) I always like that white letters onto a white background of blogspot.

This is a hint to blogspot. Use ordinary HTML/js/css so that people with their browsers set to maximum security still can read what's on the blog.

I bet that if I showed you a random 100 lines from the "LibreSSL" code and a random 100 lines from the "OpenSSL" code, stripping out all identifiers, that you wouldn't be able to tell which library is which by judging quality alone.

That's quite easy. In 100 lines of OpenSSL you have 6 nested #ifdefs and the code is unreadable formatted.

What do you think about the http/0.2 proposal? http://http02.cat-v.org/

Of course we don't live in Plan-9's 9P world, and I don't think we will ever live in that world, but if you think about it, it makes a lot more sense. In every aspect. 9P could make lots of troubled / tied (think XML standard such as WebDAV) / historical standards (FTP, NFS) obsolete. It is sane, simple, fast and secure because it is just a stream of bytes, displayed as a filesystem. There is no need for tons of librarycode. And http/0.2 could be backwards compatible. With http/0.2 you could also have session id. Besides that, with mounting httpfs there is no absolute need for a browser. You could use the standard commandline tools, altough the browser is gonna be used in almost any case.

All I wanna say is that I agree with your ideas. HTTP/2 is probably gonna have a long breath, so thinking it over, and start from scratch would be a good idea IMO. With 9P it could be a real dealmaker.
