If the hash is used to authenticate, how is leaking the hash less bad than leaking the password? If I have the hash I can already impersonate you.

Is there room for those of us who believe the mRNA vaccines are effective at reducing transmission and severe disease yet don’t want to relegate our fellow citizens to second class status for not wanting to inject themselves with something

Another explanation, the one that's more probable, is that omicron is much more infectious than the previous variants. Actual studies that look at evidence and test hypotheses seem to suggest that mRNA vaccines are effective.

Here's a study from December 29th on the effect of the vaccine on Omicron in South Africa. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2119270

"Hurr durr look at cases there's more than before" is not how you can tell whether the vaccine has an effect and is not how the scientific method works. It's likely that without vaccines, the omicron variant would have c

I misphrased it, the “good” result of imposing your biases I was referring to is preventing the spread of misinformation in places like Myanmar where genocide is rampant and amplified by social media. If there were no theoretical benefit, s

Agreed, it would also be nice to see varying workloads which seems to be missing from any benchmark I’ve ever read. Maybe a future weekend project :)

EDIT: hello fellow hunter2 I’m not a right winger, conservative, or whatever. I’m more “leftist” than the average person, so I’m assuming I’m more “leftist” than the average fact checker. That doesn’t mean I’m absent of biases towards thing

After they’ve already imposed their biases and censored information. It’s ok that I ran over your dog while driving blindfolded - I owned up to it after all. Fact checking has no benefits other than imposing the biases of the fact checkers.

Those gas tanks are more risky when you have constraints on weight and material of the tank, like in moving vehicles. I agree though, people unfairly disqualify hydrogen on this risk only.

Very cool, there are definitely use cases where batteries are necessary (like moving vehicles) and it’s great to see advancement in battery tech. EDIT: These batteries seem to be even less energy dense than Li-ion which is one of the weakne

I read something that says Hindenburg was more about the mix of the gas and the material of the blimp. Properly mixed H2 doesn’t burn (it explodes quickly, which is what powers an ICE). I agree though, planes and H2 probably don’t mix. Jet

Batteries have much lower capacity, lower cost efficiency of storage, and lower weight efficiency of storage. They’re also slower to charge and slower to discharge. Batteries are great for storing electricity efficiently as you say, but tha

Maybe I misspoke, the identity is as secure as a password in a password keeper or authentication key. I think it's analogous to a decentralized SSO (e.g. Google login, Apple ID login, etc.) that can be used as a source of identity with
