vc8f6vVV··on Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler
Not US. Amazon is a private company. Their main goal is to make money (i.e. increase company value for their investors), they decided that this activity will eventually hurt making money. End of story.
vc8f6vVV··on A philosophical difference between Haskell and Lisp (2015)
In the languages I use (Scala, Ruby) it's already done, Rust is using iterators which are lazy too. None of those languages are "lazy" in Haskell sense.

Ruby or Scala don't have lazy evaluation by default, yet there are views (Scala) or lazy (Ruby), so no, you don't necessary need compiler help.
vc8f6vVV··on LogMeIn Acquired by Private Equity
The comment above says Secret Key is generated on my device, how can it be emailed anywhere? I don't quite understand how one can enroll other devices with local Secret Key, so I assume Secret Key has to leave my device and travel over the wire. Which raises even more questions, but even if it's not the way it's generated makes a big difference.

While what you are saying seems technically sound it implies that you do everything right when generating Secret Key. Let's imagine you have a bug and it fills Secret Key with zeros (or some fixed sequence) and it becomes known after quite some time, and in between your server is compromised. How much easier it makes for an attacker to decrypt data en masse? I would assume some people may not like that such attack vector even exists.
