The argument is that the interface is too complicated for non-experts to parameterize securely. Consider the libsodium example: https://libsodium.gitbook.io/doc/public-key_cryptography/aut... . The crypto implement

I am reasonably confident that the author is aware of the distinction between correlation and causation. If you're interested or skeptical, I would highly recommend this book. It's from the "Sleep Loss and the Cardiovascular

My colleague recently recommended the book "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker. While I was expecting it to tout the benefits of good sleep, I was surprised at the evidence around the inverse: not getting a full night's slee

Because you could have 50 subdomains, for which you'd need either a wildcard cert or 50 separate certs. That might seem like a ton per week, but consider a PaaS (example-123.herokuapp.com) or a blog platform (example-diary.someblogapp.

You can encrypt any subdomain at which you can serve an answer to Let's Encrypt's ACME Challenge [1][2]. That being said, I know they have a blacklist of certain domains. I've seen it once with amazonaws.com [3], and it'

These side-channel attacks are so cool. In 2012, Zhang et al demonstrated a similar cache-based side channel attack across the Xen hypervisor to extract private keys [1]. That is, one virtual machine could extract the keys of a separate v

This is very much untrue. 1Password syncs an encrypted vault through separate channel (e.g. Dropbox, iCloud) -- it has zero-knowledge of your passwords. It just picks up a big encrypted blob from wherever you store it. "The easiest way

I'm somewhat confused -- I thought we were arguing similar points? I don't want to drag this out, but where do you see the language constraint? You need an MPI binding, sure, but what else?

Write in any language you want; that's irrelevant to the nature of the computations being done here. By codes they mean -- at the minimum -- pretty much anything that requires frequent communication between any or all nodes as a necess

Maybe for embarrassingly parallel tasks, but if you require nontrivial interprocess communication, a server farm can't compete with the interconnect of a modern supercomputer.
