I wonder whether due to the anthropic principle [1], assuming a (practically) infinite number of different universes exist, the likelhood of being the only sentient species in the whole universe is significant higher than the alternative? I

I think static IPs and blocking egress traffic only keeps well-behaved devices from doing any harm. It does not protect you from compromised, malicous (IoT) devices. Think about a network printer doing ARP spoofing and MiTM-attacking your

These kinds of concerns are why I put all my "untrusted" devices on a separate VLANs, so I can reliably shut them out of the internet. Simple VLAN-enabled switches don't cost that much any more. Such a switch allows you to

I think you are mistaken, they are not equivalent in any way that would be meaningful to assessing cryptographic strength. The stack-exchange questions that you link to refers to [1] "Discrete Logarithms and Factoring". Section 1

It's also a long time since I looked at this, but I recall pretty clearly, that factoring is "easier" than DLP. "Easier" as in factoring is reducible [1] to the DLP. I.e. if you could do DLP in polynomial time, the

Sorry, but this does not make sense in the way you intended. Your 42.1 km/s escape velocity "from earth" is the velocity you need, relative to the sun, at earth's orbital distance from the sun, to escape from the solar

No, elliptic curve cryptography is not different, as it is based on the discrete logarithm problem [1]. That said, quantum computer resistant cryptography does exist, but is not currently in wide-spread use for various reasons. [1] https:&

Yes, for kindergarden I would imagine such kind of approach to be very effective. However, school is obligatory (at least where I come from) and people even get into trouble for taking kinds on vacation outside of school holidays, so denyi

Yes, thinking about that, not having any pilot-visible indication would be quite some point of failure at lift-off. Still wondering whether MCAS and other automatation systems have a representation of that position indication. I can't

I think that eco-systems do move to higher latitudes when the earth warms. This happened e.g. at the transition from ice ages. However the problem is that if the rate of warming is too high, eco-systems will not be able spread and adapt f
