So how do computers represent instants? They typically store an amount of time before or after a particular instant which is effectively an origin. Many systems use the Unix epoch, which is the instant represented in the Gregorian calendar

While in some constrained circumstances, expecting the same actions to result in different outcomes may be outcomes, it has always seemed a terrible way to define insanity. The quotation has always rubbed me wrong for that reason.

Since the parent was claiming that first-preimage attacks were strictly more severe, which seems to be a theoretical claim for all possible first-preimage attacks, I was pointing out that doesn't necessarily hold. First-preimage attac
