The Baumol effect is only one component and not the entire story. Those that run these services will extract as many profits as possible for themselves. When the robots will manage geriatric care, there is no reason to not continue exploiti

"A good critical comment teaches us something." That's what I thought I was doing. I did not intend to break the rules badly (nor do I believe I did; I didn't fulminate nor called names). Instead I was called names by ot

If you see a phishing link, you can perform a DNS A record request to find their IPs, typically behind Cloudflare. You can report them to Cloudflare. Their WHOIS record will tell you who their registrar is, and again you can report them the

>Applications of category theory to computer science predate the first US computer science department. This doesn't sound plausible: according to Wikipedia, Eilenberg and Mac Lane introduced concepts of CT in 1942, and CT was origin

During an afternoon someone who understands the concepts can explain the relevant parts without requiring an understanding of CT from the other party. Hence: don't bother with CT. I don't mean to be rude, but what has Bartosz Mile

If you're talking about toposes, many logics do not correspond to them. It's the other way around: many category theorists/logicians needed jobs and found computer jobs and hence the category theoretic perspective in CS.

This is a phony work in progress (I do not mean to disparage the author, just the work itself, or perhaps the YC submission). There's no direction, it's just "let's do it because ... ?" Here is the authors' ans

FIDO would be for authentication, not signing. It also supports SSH (and X.509, see < https://git-scm.com/docs/gitformat-signature >) but it does not support minisign or signify. There's a git module for signi

This is an anonymous blog, and the author conceals their identity, which is already an issue for me. Let's look at the alternatives to PGP that the blog recommends, I will paraphrase: 1) Sign software with sigstore.dev The issue here i

The issue is mostly with git itself, e.g. take a look at git cat-file commit HEAD to see something like: tree <tree-hash> parent <parent-hash> author <author-name> <author-email> <timestamp> co

>For example, signing commits with minisign or signify. These tools don't work well with git or the git forges, and they do not work at all with fossil. (Obviously signify is a good choice if you're using OpenBSD.) Furthermore

What about GnuTLS and GnuPG do you think makes them insecure? I think that they offer something unique and that must be factored in; i.e. if you compare them to competitors, you can't compare apples to oranges when making judgments for

They say it takes a long time to build Guile, the Scheme compiler, not Artanis. I can build guile in less than 2 minutes on my old laptop.

With DNSSEC you can be certain that the response you got was issued by the nameserver that is claimed (well, by someone who owns the private key). The domain owner, and registrar can both be at fault, the CA is the last entity to blame beca

A lot of people are not aware that HTTPS certificates do not necessarily guard you from certain types of attacks like DNS injection. You can see < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exy5JwAU8qk > for one example where an a

These articles use the word "backdoor" for effect, for example < https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2021/08/apple-adds-a-... >. The bills you refer to by multiple countries simply want

"Using our backdoors" is what was said, not "going through the backdoor". Backdoors have a very specific meaning in computer security. US law enforcement is not using backdoors to access the data of US companies.

No it is not, because these are not backdoors, the entities legally own the data users have provided them and the courts require them to share the data for investigative purposes. When the FBI pressed Apple to break its encryption, it would

They're curves (one-dimensional), not surfaces. An example of an elliptic curve is y^2 = x^3 + 1. The polynomial P(x,y) = x^3 + 1 - y^2 has degree 3. A surface is a 2 dimensional geometric shape.
