   Can you link that paper? Or name at least one of the authors? Not to mention that checking for a lower bound means nothing for a potential upper bound. It's ridiculous to cite an unnamed paper while being unable to procure a single sou

   Electrons do not decay, because there is nothing they could decay into. You need a lighter particle of the same charge due to charge conservation, and there is none. You might be thinking of protons.

   A year is defined in multiples of caesium vibrations. Not originally, obviously, but in this context it is. You cannot nearly measure any of these time periods precisely enough that any of this matters anyway.

   I don't know. The other day I wanted to display an Active Directory object to the user. The dict had around 20 keys like "distinguishedname" and the "createdat" with timestamps like 144483738. I wanted friendly disp

   What exactly is the issue with permanent storage? The idea with certificates is that the private key stays put. When you want to use another browser or reinstall one, just re-enroll the new one. Ten one time recovery keys act as an alternat

   I don't follow. I wasn't talking about PGP.

   I mean yeah, the point the article is making would be true non the less, so e2ee is not the answer to the problem.

   All is lost the moment you have malware on your device. It can just steal the session key after authentication.

   All we need is a magic button that says "enroll this browser". I'm sure aunt Lottie can handle that.

    Okay, I know that and I agree, but I wasn't talking about PGP. Client certificates are much easier to use. They can be self-signed and the whole trust issue disappears.

    If e2ee became common, Google would offer a way to upload your private key or generate it for you (like proton mail does, IIRC), so you can conveniently read your mail in the web client, undermining the whole idea behind e2ee.

    I don't understand why client certificates aren't way more common as a second factor. They have existed forever, are available on all platforms, they are phishing resistant (unlike OTP, and don't get me started on SMS), brows

    There is no VC with typst, they're bootstrapped. And I think by "marketeers" the original commenter did not mean actual marketing people, but enthusiastic fans. Unless it was a hidden accusation of astroturfing that I didn&#x

    Obviously there are differences, but that wasn't the point of my comment. I replied to the claim that latex never needed "marketers". Or did you mean to reply to a different comment?

    > I can change my article into a presentation just by changing the document class to "beamer". Don't you need to insert tons of `frame` environments to get anything worth looking at?

    I remember tons of latex zealots 20 years ago. The internet must be full of latex vs word flamewars. Also, typst is just really good.

    An arrangement like that is probably violating data protection rules that everybody agreed on. In my company, customer data must not leave company systems, let alone the country.

    Please don't take it personally, but I don't enjoy discussions with someone who can only communicate in questions. If you have something of substance to say, say it.

    > quarks can therefore not be part of subatomic life is the lazy approach to me For the record, I wrote "very hard to imagine". If you claim it can be possible, it is you who must produce at least a suggestion on how it could

    We do know a lot about the very small and the very big, though. We understand quark interactions extremely well. It's very hard to imagine interactions at that scale complex enough to yield something anyone would be comfortable calling

    I arrived at the same understanding as GP due to this line: > What if there are already organisms that are so large or small that we just can't comprehend them?

    Thanks, I know. At which point in this comment chain were we discussing the president of Spain though? Buxato stated they didn't hear "anybody", not "anybody in Spain".

    A Tesla powerwall won't help with trains and traffic lights. Those are important to me as well.

    Oh, I thought you were asking something else. In a spiral motion, the infinities never come into play. Nevermind.
