No, it’s really not. Ask Neal Koblitz.

If you vent the smoke into outer space I guarantee you some hungry aliens will show up.

Did they implement ARM’s cryptography instructions?

You misread the article. The article states that there aren’t any SBS cases with only “isolated subdural and retinal hemorrhage.”

The parent comment is lamenting this fact.

Sounds like you’re an NSA plant, Thomas :)

Hate is a strong word. People tend to like or dislike it more depending on whether they agree with the people who are in charge of it.

I think, at its core, the negative attitudes stem from it being a “one size fits all” approach.

Plus also a sense of detachment since state and local governments are what people interact with 99% of the time.

I think this is a pretty broad generalization. Personally, I’ve never once been refused access to a McDonald’s restroom.

I haven’t been to a McDonald’s in a large city (like downtown Seattle), so perhaps it’s different there.

But so much of the world exists outside of cities :)

From a security perspective, Common Criteria certification isn’t particularly meaningful.

Plus, it’s not really worth getting certified at a higher level than you need. Why expend extra effort?

Apple’s proposal used perceptual hashing, which does have false positives, not cryptographic hashing, which does not.

It would’ve been less likely, not impossible. Perceptive hashing absolutely has issues with false positives.

This still suffers the same problems as the original proposal. Specifically, Apple could still be pressured or forced by governments to check for non-CSAM images. And using cryptographic hashing means they can’t detect altered files, while using perspective hashing leaves them open to false positives.

Also, IIRC, it wasn’t the raw photos. It was small thumbnails of them.

He’s more like the BDFL.

This particular magistrate judge used to be an attorney.

Yet I can’t drink part of my water bottle to prove that it’s not an explosive.

Growing up, we always had a plastic bag full of plastic bags. They had many uses—garbage bags, lunch bags, carrying dirty soccer cleats, etc. Sometimes they got reused once, other times they got reused a lot. They were surprisingly sturdy.

Cloth might be better, but it depends how much energy is required to make the cloth bags.

One particular benefit of cloth bags is they result in less litter.

Unequivocally yes.

You’d be surprised how many 8’ boards you can fit in a Subaru Impreza hatchback.

nit: it is usually death or grievous bodily harm.

Having a key as long as your plaintext is difficult.

Getting actually random (not pseudorandom) keys is very difficult.

Not reusing any key material ever is very difficult.

Exchanging the keys is difficult.

It’s not authenticated.

It’s just not useful in practice.

> and treaties in the US hold the same force of law as the Constitution

They hold the same force of law as federal legislation. They’re still subservient to the constitution.

Ex post facto laws should be prohibited in any civilized country.

Crates that only make FFI calls exist. I have written some. :)

This is a very unfair and unfounded criticism of the Go maintainers.

Or (x & (x-1)) and let the compiler figure that out.

tarsnap!

Ally is at 3.6%.

This has very limited benefit for weak passcodes, like PINs.

We’re in this category. We could’ve purchased a home a while ago, but we chose to rent and save money instead. We didn’t want to raise kids in Seattle, so buying an overpriced home there made little sense. Now that we’re both working remote, we’ve moved away and are in the process of building a home (ie still renting) in an area we really like. It’s taken much longer, but the results will be much nicer.
