That's pretty much it. However it's being pushed very, very hard by oil and gas companies in order to deflect any responsibility away from them. The amount of CO2 this place removes, assuming it can actually be run at full project

In terms of standard rhetoric, for people outside AU, this is the "Australian bases under Australian control" fairy tale. Yeah, the gardeners are Australian, so the grass is definitely still under Australian control.

Nice to see at least one country that has a government that thinks ahead and is proactive. Here our local government is busy issuing building permits for inundation zones (seriously!) because the land is cheap to build on for some reason an

I've been looking at model checkers and program proof assistants on and off since FDR and Isabelle/HOL and the like, and there were similar tools going back another decade before that. If you're verifying part of an ASIC or a

I have a 12-year-old Samsung TV I got off Craigslist for under $100 that displays images, and that's it. Oh, and it plays video off a USB stick if you plug one in. Friend of mine used to hassle me about my TV, and how his one has much

Same with any prepay SIM I'm aware of, to activate it you need a phone because why would anyone ever use a SIM with anything that isn't a phone, like an e-book reader for your elderly mother to read her romance novels on? And befo

The weird thing is that this pretty huge story has essentially zero visibility to the public until now since it's only been covered in tech media. I wonder how long it'll take for general-public media to wake up to it to warn the

At the time there were two root programs, Microsoft's and Netscape's. To get into them, for Microsoft you had to go through a painful third-party audit process, SAS 70 from memory, for Netscape you turned up in Mountain View with

Came here to say the same thing. It's a Trump-regime government body, how can we know whether the figures are real or not?

Every few years, going back to at least the 1980s, there's some new feature-length article about how $new_thing or $different_old_thing will make de Beers irrelevant within the next few years. I'm not old enough to know about earl

It's also whether it matters if you have people available to replace the things. Any conflict that gets to the point of taking out satellites will almost certainly trigger Kessler syndrome, at which point whether you can launch any mor

Bit of an odd comment overall. The fact that I know that the highest point in the Netherlands is in the Caribbean pretty much demonstrates that I'm not from the US.

EdDSA is also quite a mess, see e.g. https://hdevalence.ca/blog/2020-10-04-its-25519am/ . Almost no two implementations that aren't the same code base can agree on what is and isn't a valid signature. ECD

It's also a biased, lopsided report. Guy I know who was an EV pioneer in California said it was so bad that, even though his career consisted of promoting EVs, he told people to avoid watching it because it presents such a skewed pictu

Just beware that an awful lot of "silicone" cabling coming from China is actually overplasticized PVC, particular cabling used in instrument probes. It feels like silicone until it starts getting stiff while at the same time outga

Why not? What's the actual threat? Let's say I'm using RSA-1024 on my firewall today. What happens next?

by pseudohadamard 1mo ago
There's also the question of why anyone would bother. You can factor RSA-1024 today in about a year with a national-lab-level supercomputer. Which 1k-bit RSA key would you shut down a national lab for a year for to factor? Heck, which

I'd say ECDSA is even worse, because almost anything you get even slightly wrong with Schnorr schemes ends up leaking the private key. With RSA OTOH you just use a decent library and something like encode-and-compare for signing and yo
