> It is both the active belief in the non-existence of any God, and also the passive lack of any belief in any God. The second one would be agnosticism.

Hoping along the Commander Islands, Near Islands then Aleutian Islands chain from Kamchatka was likely possible with primitive tech. And those places must have been hunting paradises to neolithic people so reasons to settle them.

Off course, and actually more than the trunk, rear seats and even passenger seat in that case, but you absolutely cannot do that to a meaningful usefulness with extra batteries.

In many countries, e.g. France, excess mortality and COVID-19 victims match very closely. Sure there may have been more untreated cardiovascular events, but there were also a lot less accidents and it seems it evened out...

The UK got a 65k people over mortality over the last months, for 45k official COVID-19 victims. So if anything the UK is undercounting COVID-19 victims. See https://www.ft.com/content/a26fbf7e-48f8-11ea-aeb3-955839e06..

Printers are still a cybersecurity issue, it's incredible how often we still see printers on the same LAN as workstation given the horrible state of their security, and that random people are expected to come to "fix" them re

Lots of people don't like the crypto construction used at all https://soatok.blog/2020/07/08/gnu-a-heuristic-for-bad-crypt... The non AEAD symmetric cipher is IMHO completely unjustifiable in 2020.

Dunno what he does now, but he worked quite a bit in static analysis, which does a much better job at discovering nasty code properties than tests do. He found issues in code you most likely rely on, like the Linux kernel : https:/&#x

The name constraint extension ( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280#section-4.2.1.10 ) can help a lot with that, we chose to trust CA for all names but we could have had CAs for a way more limited set of domains. Softwar

You usually use your HSM vendor tooling, in the KCs I was involved the backup secrets were not only split between multiple holders but each holder held its part on a PIN protected smartcard.

One article said they key was left in clear on a laptop, so maybe a HSM migration was involved.

It makes absolutely no sense. Such highly valuable secrets are usually saved using Shamir's secret sharing with parts of the split secret held by people unlikely to collude. Key ceremonies are done in a way that at no point a human bei

He completely rewrote CryptoCat in 2016 and that still wasn't good, the security page was at https://web.archive.org/web/20160407125207/https://crypto.ca... and there were still pretty bad issues, n

Exactly, Nadim Kobeissi's name is the last one I expected to see on a crypto audit that someone would pay for. Internet never completely forgets, but in practice a little with your head down and your past sins wash out.

Well there is the hope than soon enough, that methane is made from atmospheric CO2, water and renewable energy. That would be pretty awesome as the infrastructure to store and move methane is already there.

He didn't talk about it, but energy usage is likely going up, so maybe if you keep doing it long enough the frequency will have to be throttled down in order to cool down.
