- tptacek 2y agoWho's "they"? This "right answers" thing is a meme (I ruefully share responsibility for it) that needs to die; Colin Percival has nothing to do with anything but the first one.
- loeg 2y agoI linked to the older Latacora one upthread and this comment is linking to the newer Latacora one. So I think it's reasonable to read "they" as "Latacora" here.
- tptacek 2y agoYes, I wrote the older Latacora one, which was based on thing I wrote under my own name before I founded Latacora; I'm pretty sure I'm on solid ground saying Colin Percival had nothing to do with anything I wrote, since I wrote the first one as a rebuttal to Colin. (Did I misread you? Maybe we just agree.)
- loeg 2y agoI think we agree. I was only responding to the "Who's 'they'?" bit.
- tptacek 2y agoSorry. I'm touchy about the cursed meme I helped create and also flinching at the idea that anything I wrote might get attributed to Colin. Definitely don't mean to jump down your throat.
- JimDabell 2y agoYeah, just in the interests of clarity, somebody linked to the Latacora article “Cryptographic Right Answers” and I’d happened to read the updated Latacora article “Cryptographic Right Answers: Post Quantum Edition” a few hours beforehand, so I linked to it. “They” means Latacora, not Colin Percival.
- loeg 2y agoNo problem.
