I really don't understand the argument that it's necessarily 'bad' to attempt action against someone based on their opinions (or direct actions), especially if they're being put in to a position where those opinions

This has 11 points and no discussion, while seo blogspam about ebay hits the front page? That is beyond pathetic.

What does that have to do with a lack of sufficient evidence?

Not being convinced by the evidence (or lack thereof) of every religious faith is not a faith. You can call it a faith until you turn blue in the face, it still isn't one.

A discussion about the new VirginAmerica.com site is on the front page, as well as some SEO spam blog blather about ebay. At least this post is something people can (and do) identify with.

I would go so far as to say that if it works, it isn't a temporary escape. If you honestly think whatever you're praying to will take care of your problems, and this causes you to relax to the point where your brain learns not to

If I didn't know any better, reading your posts I'd think Curve25519/SafeCurves were haphazardly thrown together in the name of performance, yet in the end were roughly the same speed as the highly secure NIST curves.

Azubu doesn't let the general public stream so there is nothing for them to "move" to. I also don't know what azubu's plan is once they run out of money to throw at popular streamers.

Downvotes for quoting from the pages linked, which are defending their use of non-constant time operations by referencing OpenSSL. Do you guys have working brains?

That wasn't a response, it was a non-explanation defending his right to support disgusting ideas without facing any criticism for it.

SHA-1 intrinsics are going to be out in 2015-2016. You're going to be waiting a very long time before SHA-3 intrinsics hit. If you care about software performance, you will not be using SHA-3.

BLAKE2b is <3.5cpb on Sandy Bridge, or ~570mb/s at 2ghz. 5cpb in general on 64 bit x86, 400mb/s. 6-8 cpb in general on 32 bit x86 with SSSE3, 250-333mb/s. It definitely might be overkill for some situations, but it's

He tried to sell for $75m in early 2005. Then for $750m in late 2005. Apparently a lot of luck mixed with a lot of greed turns anyone who succeeds in to a savant.
