The Deutschlandticket talk was pretty cool. As Malcolm Tucker would say, "what a catastrofuck". Miele washing machine hacking, very nice, I was going to say I'd be waiting to see someone integrate it into HA... and then look

The whole thing actually looks very amateurish, poured concrete and a concrete-block wall and then wooden racking for the valuables, not individual lockboxes? That approximately describes my basement. It also looks like they used a tungste

Wasn't it mostly Hitler's personal dislike for it? That and the fact that readers in the greater Reich (the bits outside Germany) wouldn't be familiar with, or able to read, Fraktur

I read the first few paragraphs and a better title would be "Right-wing academic snowflake whines about things using 'facts' he made up". Come to think of it, is he angling for a job on Fox News?

Cute! I actually like the one, referenced at the end of the paper that's linked in the post, where they use a physics experiment without the usual error correction to factor values: Just re-run the experiment as many time as needed, w

Nah, it's just the US reinventing the German Antiqua-Fraktur dispute from more than a century ago, where only Fraktur was appropriate for expressing serious Germanic ideas. A sans typeface is un-German... ahh, un-American!

>It’s geriatric hype. Almost. It's hype for geriatrics, or one geriatric to be precise. Think of it as the USS Trump Reacharound. It'll never get around to being built, but I'm sure the Navy will get lots of concessions fr

Use case? We're crypto LARPing dammit, we don't need a use case!

Something that doesn't require securing email. Both S/MIME and PGP were solutions for 1980s problems (TFA is slightly off about PGP's start date, the PGP design dates from 1987 and MSDOS, not the 1990s, and S/MIME via P

And when do you need any of that stuff? As a followup, is there anything in existence that supports "large-scale public key management (with unknown recipients)"? Or "automatic discovery, trust management"? Even X.509

What you actually want doing crypto is a security engineer, not a cryptographer. To quote Shamir's Law, "cryptography is bypassed, not attacked". No-one ever attacks the crypto, they attack the way it's used, so you ne
