So might I gently suggest that you ask someone who has deep experience, well beyond his hat, with actual reversing? Such as 'tptacek, 'cperciva, 'yan, many others here.
- lisper 8y agoI would be happy to get a real data point, but it won't affect my argument unless my estimate is off by orders of magnitude. I don't need an accurate estimate for my argument to hold, just an upper bound that is in the ballpark.
- tptacek 8y agoYou're not even counting the right thing. How many orders of magnitude off you are isn't even the most important problem with your analysis.
- lisper 8y agoThis comment is a moving target. You edited it between when I received a copy via HN Replies and when I came here to respond. At the moment it reads, in its entirety: > You're not even counting the right thing. How many orders of magnitude off you are isn't even the most important problem with your analysis. It's more than a little disingenuous of you to say that without saying what the most important problem is. How exactly did you expect me to respond to this?
- tptacek 8y agoThe previous sentence, which I edited out because I didn't like it, and it didn't make an argument I hadn't already made, was "this is like asking how many bushels it would take to reach orbit". I edit comments to refine language but never to change their meaning. No, I don't agree that I'm being disingenuous.
