Quantum data links seem great for establishing shared symmetric keys, which are much more practical than asymmetric keys for fast de/encryption. However the key sharing process still relies on some process like Diffie-Hellman, or sendi

SiFive are definitely amongst the most interesting players in RISC-V right now. Though there other organisations doing things, e.g. the PULP Platform: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23768080 I hope that the acquisitio

One of the most compelling short VR experiences I've tried is Titans of Space PLUS, which gives a tour around the solar system, and then compares our sun to other stars. The sense of scale when you have depth and head movement had me q

The wilful cognitive dissonance on the part of the British establishment, and "sunlit uplands" types is remarkable. Demanding statues remain up so "history is not forgotten", then making moves to ban the discussion of un

The cwtch.im project (metadata resistant E2E chat app) started with Golang backend, and Qt as the front-end (targeting x-platform desktop and mobile apps). However they had some issues with Qt, and have been transitioning to Flutter. Their

I'm curious about the opportunities for co-design of hardware and algorithms, especially since we are building more ASICs for neural networks - they're an increasingly used workload. Things like grouped convolutions were invented

I don't have a source to hand, but I've heard from other post-mortems that in SIM-jacking attack the carrier has been socially engineered into not bothering with the pin, ongoing court cases RE negligence perhaps on-going.

Yeah, it's a bit of tragedy. Resistor style stripes on cables would be fun, a stripe for each feature such as bandwidth, power, etc; perhaps already suggested (and ignored). Though complement for ports would be trickier. Embossing sym

I wonder if the the committee have looked at integrating colour or some other indicator into the standard so that cable/port capabilities are clear visually. Though ofc the design challenge is for users to feel comfortable that putting

The ScotRail brand was operated by the private company Abellio, who lost the contract due to long term failure to meet its requirements of reliability etc - was in trouble before the impact of the pandemic.

Theft was happening anyway via malware, it's just fewer of the costs were being borne directly. And as data collection increases, those indirect costs are getting higher. Now the organisation has more at to lose at first pass, rather

true, though arguably it's a good thing. In the sense that it moves more of the costs of malware to the organisations that are meant to be securing the data. Previously, these costs were more borne by customers/clients/etc,

It may be arbitrary, but increasing blocksize to mitigate network congestion is not a good solution, since any cap you set it to will also be arbitrary, and harm decentralisation (block propagation time, node operation costs, etc). And give

iirc, a number of wallets allow you to specify which unspent TX outputs you use. So if you got tainted coin sent to your address, you could avoid using that UTXO in future TXs. That might protect you from some scrutiny.

Indeed, targetting a specific industry seems like too focussed and approach that won't actually solve much. Especially when you have e.g. the aluminium smelting industry that uses around 10x more energy*. Arguably more useful, but the

Take your point, though given it's all E2E, the server logic doesn't need to be that complicated, or changed with new features, since every new feature can be implemented as a message. Server just needs message queues and routing

Short-medium term you have the advantage that the Signal codebases are open source, thus much easier to audit. There have been a number of independent security audits over the years, which are easy to find. WhatsApp code was never open, ev

You misunderstand: it's ageist to suggest that parents and grandparents are by definition not likely to be technical enough to use mitigations like containers and such. Which it is.
