A lot of natural processes produce results that are normally distributed. So given a large sample, a continuous value range, no bounds (or far away bounds) and a lack of obvious skew the intuition "half the population is below average&

I agree it's very unlikely that sabotage is what's going on, but what you're saying is the one compelling argument in favor of sabotage. "Everyone but that one actor has very bad luck" is exactly what sabotage loo

Any open source project can allow you to verify binaries by making builds reproducible. The fact that most apps don't do this is indeed a security problem, but one that's far from unfixable.

With many other providers I can make deductions about likely threat scenarios. For example I know about both my ISP and about Google that it is in their best interest to serve me correct DNS entries: they have no obvious motive to do otherw

While very useful, you can only construct a collision-free hash function if you know all possible inputs. Otherwise perfect hash functions can only give guarantees over the frequency of collisions. In the more general case, for a hash func

There isn't really a single universally accepted list of continents. Some count Australia as continent, some count it as part of Oceania. And some define the continent Australia as the country Australia plus all those islands that woul

An inconsiderate asshole is completely fair if he treats everyone equally. That's a real problem that many attempts to quantify discrimination overlook.

That's easy enough to solve: you are only allowed to defend your SSID if you have taken reasonable steps to minimise the chance of a random name collision, and if this is really the most reasonable answer given your threat model. For e

After all, right now the perceived norm is to send all your 100Mb/day of data through a kafkaesk array of message queues, stream processors and map-reduce jobs.

I agree that disclosing all my bank transactions would be active surveillance and would violate privacy (even more so in countries like the US where cash is phasing out of use). But to my knowledge that's not what actually happens in w

In that case Jekyll or Middleman are not the implementations you want, but static site generators still work. There are various solutions with WordPress-like admin backends that produce static pages for the frontend.

I have problems with this as well. Sometimes there are obvious things that can be tested on the resulting image. For example when applying a blur on a grey image with one white pixel in the middle, I know how I expect the sum of the pixel v

It's what invariably happens when you incorporate words like "new", "super" or "high definition" in the name of something. I'm still hoping that at some point our industry learns that lesson.
