What do you mean by 'experiential purchases'?

Bias against women? Seriously?

Yet it seems to be feminism that clouds the mind by being everything and all at the same time, with about 1000 different subtypes and OF COURSE you are following the right ones.

How about we drop that stupid feminism label and movement and start to actually talk about the issues at hand?

The problem then is that even the estimation of your accuracy ('99.99+%') becomes baseless if only looked at closely enough.

Citation urgently needed.

Arguably, that all is breadth, not depth.

> And I really shouldn't put this in the past tense. All of this stuff is still there. We all seem to have just decided to collectively pretend that MAD went away when the USSR dissolved, even though there are still thousands of missiles and nuclear warheads ready to wreck civilization at a moment's notice.

Fully agreed. There seems to be this weird mode of thinking for most people 'I choose to ignore the bad stuff so that I am happier'. But the end result here might be exactly the opposite, the worst case.

For example, it is scary how lightheartedly people talk about 'war with Russia' in context of the current Ukraine crisis. Regardless on what political side one is, avoiding direct confrontation of nuclear powers should be the main concern.

Rather than all the talk and fuss and whatnot about more-or-less meaningful social justice causes, I would rather like to see a movement to put nuclear weapons into 'cold storage' and a verified international protocol to continuously check that they are there.

Seeing that it is unrealistic to have full disarmament, this would at least greatly reduce the risk.

We are such great benefactors: Suicide rate, homelessness rate, prison sentence length for same crimes, life expectancy ...

> I'm not trying to sound like a "men's rights activist" or anything

And if you would sound like one, would that be bad in any way? Really, what's the problem with that word? Caring for Men's rights is bad?

Look up Karen Straughan on Youtube. She's an MRA and very intelligent woman. She raises many good points in the current, toxic debate.

Maybe it would be nice then if TLS would somehow cache host keys, too? Like my browser caching the relationship:

www.bank.com is 1.2.3.4 with pub key XYZ

Or is this already implemented and I am too stupid to find it?

According to Wikipedia, they did that in the past: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elderly_people_in_Japan

The rough equivalent of herbivore men in the west is called MGTOW. In the west, some blame feminism for similar shifts...

The funny thing is that the Antrophic principle believes in some kind of 'true randomness' in this way - even if it is just about the constants for the otherwise deterministic universe :-)

This might be interesting/relevant to you wrt. feminism and the status quo - and who exactly is status quo:

Interesting language in the title.

How about 'CIA agents who tortured could be brought to justice in any country?'

This is interesting. Could you give more detailed information? Volume in BTC vs. volume in $?

Ah, I see. Interesting. Thanks for the explanation! If a public tour is ever offered on such a repair ship, I'll check it out, it sounds like awesome technology.

What is a mental illness then? It's just a brain with a somehow different state configuration - and why should one care? It is just a bunch of atoms and their relations anyways..

Can you really explain in your worldview why you would care at all?

I have been saying similar things for years. Apply this to modern psychology. We live in weird feedback times.

Everyone is content to happy, well-fed, in one big climate-controlled mall.

Awesome utopia.

The question would then be - what is really meaningful?

Thanks! So if I do make a signature using GPG, it might still silently sign just an MD5 digest, if I didn't (re-)configure it properly? That sounds scary...

Thanks for the detailed answer. I see why MD5 is harmless here, now.

I still wonder why anyone does anything with MD5 anymore, especially in an application like GPG... if it is known to be weak... It makes the argument why it is still safe in this situation much more subtle and involved. From all the crypto gurus, we hear 'MD5 is unsafe, do not use it anymore!!' and then in PGP/GPG, MD5 is still used because, well apparently for historic reasons and because one can. As a non-expert in these matters, this looks very odd. It seems to (needlessly) make matters more complicated and involved, more complex in terms of the necessary analysis, and on the other hand unnecessary complexity is (rightfully) despised by the same security people...

If they'd use SHA256 or similar, one could simply assume all of the properties of an unbroken cryptographic hashing function and throw out the MD5 code.

So in the end, the only valid excuse here would be history+inertia.

Does that machine have to correct for the rocking of the ship?

Edit: To be more specific - do you have a quiet/stabilized optical platform onboard to perform this?

Does anyone know why P-/GPG is still using MD5?

Well, but the post you replied to states how humans would fully be part of this deterministic system. So, arguably, s/he made the assumption that science does indeed reflect on reality in a deep way and isn't merely a model.

Isn't the problem of someone breaking in and stealing coins avoidable in the 'selling sth. for coins' scenario by just looking for incoming payments to a particular address, but without ever keeping any secret keys on a live system?

This is very impressive. Well done!

Excuse me for asking a stupid question, I am not too deep into linux kernel randomness generation:

Why is /dev/urandom spitting out anything before it has acquired enough entropy for the initial seed? Wouldn't it be a good idea for it to initially block?

In this scenario, if I login to my own server, if I control the login on the remote end, I set it up to support one time passwords. It would be nice if this would be something that can be set up by default for credentials.

Maybe this should be a feature request to the web-app devs.?

Is it really that easy? The 'maximize' part? Maximizing happiness could then be to secure a big supply of heroin and being on an IV drip all the time.

Some people feel that way. For some - in the end deep emotional reason, I don't _want_ it to be that way for myself. Even though I probably have more pain that way, going through life.
