Not sure about cryptographers, but he sometimes comes out as a conspiracy theorist in matters of security. I think he has a ton of followers. And he is a good orator. I've resigned myself to believe that he really doesn't have a view into what's going on in security. I used to be a fan. I have his red book. I've read it and found it to be shallow and useless.
- hackuser 10y agoWhen I read words like "conspiracy theorist", "ton", "useless", I don't see something persuasive - hyperbole isn't persuasive, it doesn't inform the reader - it just communicates the writer's strength of emotion. So why create an account to say that? Why do you feel so strongly about Schneier?
