A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter Miller is my favorite sci-fi short story I’ve read in a long time. It follows an order of Catholic monks in the American southwest many years after a nuclear holocaust. I won’t say more than that. It was o

Instead of just giving their word that they won’t log IPs, I t’d be nicer if they used a privacy preserving revocation lookup scheme like CRLite https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2020/01/09/crlite-part-1-

Hashes are now 256 bits. In order to get a collision with probability 1% you need to produce about 4e37 hashes. For comparison, if you had a 5GHz computer that did a SHA-256 hash every cycle and gave 100 of these computers to every human on

This is too general an argument. Why did people work in factories where they'd lock the door during the day? Or where there were machines that sometimes ripped people's arms off? Why did this spur regulations on workplace conditio

There's some cryptographic work in this direction. PhotoProof allows a photographer to prove that the image they're presenting is, e.g., the cropped version of the true original image they took. Video is still way out there, but a

Funny, I recently stared in wonder at a cuneiform tablet in a museum. When I looked at the description, I found out that it was a log of how much wheat was sold in a transaction several thousand years ago. Why do you think we consider that
