I've always considered Bell's solution somewhat obvious. It wasn't team Einstein's responsibility to propose a solution, his motive was a rebuttal. The fact that it went unstated for 30 years, Einstein died in 1955, ref

Their practical actions clarified and tempered their espoused dogma. Wise individuals are frequently misunderstood thanks to the ambiguity of language, and listeners reasonably prefer assumption over nuance.

It doesn't depend on language. Kolmogorov Complexity is about information. It requires understanding the minimum amount of information needed to perform a task. And information is, naturally, measured in bits.

Clockless computers don't have a global clock but they still have components that "tick".

I agree. Public key authentication is mature. It just needs to be adopted. I'm not clear on the password part (I'm assuming it was a typo).

6 numeric characters is only ~20 bits. 8 is only 27 bits. Far too short.

A problem of passwords is how do you know when a password has been breached? The beauty of public key authentication is that there's nothing to breach on one side.

PoP, Proof-of-Possession.

It's the same for passwords. The advantage is that your private key can't be leaked on a third party website.

I want to be able to link my identity across website. I want to be able to have a key on my phone that's known as my phone key.

Are you the author? If so I would love to talk with you more about your vision and goals. I personally would like reusable keys, and I agree namespace or some other mechanism is needed. I generally prefer to link my identity among websites

The Schwarzschild radius is the defining boundary of a black hole which Schwarzschild first calculated. A question worthy of asking is why did Schwarzschild beat Einstein in calculating the Schwarzschild radius first?
287.
by Zamicol 5y ago
The question I've always ask is how did Einstein miss black holes? Schwarzschild immediately saw the obvious and checked the limits of Einstein's work. This is similar to Minkowski seeing the obvious with spacetime, once finally

--cookie puts the value of the cookie in the header. Host: localhost:8081 Accept: / Cookie: test_cookie={"test":"bob"} User-Agent: curl/7.74.0

I agree. The quote at the beginning is better for multiple cookies: curl --insecure --cookie 'test_cookie={"test":"bob"};test_cookie2={"test2":"bob"}' https://localhost:8081&#x2

I use cURL for local development with JSON cookies and I think it's perfectly adequate for that purpose. curl --insecure --cookie test_cookie='{"test":"bob"}' https://localhost:8081/

The point of public key cryptography is that there isn't a shared secret.

We're in agreement that JOSE could have been much simpler. Again, I'm not a fan of JOSE, but I definitely see a gaping need for something like it. Defining the "however you like" parts is the chief role of something like

Here's an example I've encountered with a user/server system. A user signs a message with a key and uses a thumbprint to refer to the public key. The server system needs a public key, not just the thumbprint, to verify the m

Unfortunately, some have used "JWS" to refer to JOSE, because that's all they personally used. JOSE is the standard. JWS is a subset. Same with JWK, JWE, JWT, ect... It's all JOSE. Here's an example from three ye

JOSE is a bad standard, but the industry has no good alternatives. JOSE is "the best we have". Here's a concrete example of something I find lacking in JOSE: Here's a protected header encoded: eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsImI2NC

Fees are a hard cost making gaming systems far harder and costly. $10 billion isn't anything to shake a stick at. That's real business that's having enormous real world impact. https://cryptofees.info/2021

Fees show obvious usage. "Statistically nobody uses" isn't fair. The fact that someone is paying interested on their house, a physical asset, to a blockchain application instead of Wells Fargo is a huge deal.

The current monetary system has absurd levels of hand wavy magic. Are you familiar with what is being done on these systems? Uniswap alone did $1 billion in fees last year, a distributed, permissionless, unstoppable exchange. Ethereum did

Ethereum is already running PoS for over a year. Just not all of Ethereum is running PoS. All of Ethereum will switch over and it's currently planned for July.
