There aren't many compelling reasons to use insecure RNGs. In very few applications is the RNG your bottleneck. In many applications there are negative consequences to your RNG being compromised.

Between ten and fifteen years ago I was at a colloquium featuring Leon Cooper, Craig Venter and Freeman Dyson (via video). At one point in the conversation, Dyson slumped over only to rouse a few minutes later. He rejoined the conversation

This simply isn't true. The GDPR cares about where you are and where you reside, not who you are. I live in the United States and hold Irish citizenship. The GDPR does not apply to me (unless I were to visit the EU.) https:/&#x2F

December was the 80th anniversary of her disappearance. It's the only unresolved missing persons case I'm aware of in my neighborhood. Assuming she did die in December of 1939, the Muddy River seems to be a likely place to find a

Except Kyle misleadingly calls his licenses open source when they aren't. Prosperity discriminates between commercial and non-commercial organizations rather than on how the code is used. He should stop muddying the waters.

MAD goes out the window once the missiles are up. The whole point of a credible second strike is to discourage a first strike. However this isn't subgame perfect... which means players should want to strike first, breaking MAD.

I never said they were. I said that high prices attract supply. This supply then drives down prices. This doesn't work for drug pricing due to monopolies. It does work for hauling water into a city on an 18-wheeler.

Except it does. There was a shortage of generators after Katrina. A guy filled a U-Haul with generators and trucked them into the disaster area to resell at a markup. He was arrested for his trouble. Everyone in the situation was made worse

I worked with Francois back in 2010. A few years later I turned down his overtures to join AbVitro. Even with the benefit of hindsight it was the right risk-adjusted decision. As for the why, I don't think it's in the water. Churc

Re-read it. The author isn't describing CC-BY-NC-SA as meaningless. He's describing its use by Neues as legally meaningless because Neues doesn't have an enforceable copyright to the bust or scans of the bust.

Non-profits can operate commercially as long as that business is consistent with their charitable business. I ran a non-profit science fiction magazine. We sold magazines at a profit, or at least tried to. The problem here is that the leade

Yes, you can report it via Form 13909 ( https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f13909.pdf ). What would be great is if someone at PIR turned whistleblower. Given the size of the transaction the reward money could be in the

> I can’t believe this is legal. I doubt that it is. The directors of a non-profit can't wake up one morning and decided to pillage the org's resources for their benefit. They must transact their business at arm's length.

More whining from Sunil Deshpande. He's upset that no one on license-discuss was dumb enough to fall for the Commons Clause or SSPL. It'll be a happy day when he gives up his anti-open source abuse campaign.
