Author here: I've never enjoyed the basic premise of the Rogaway article, but that would require its own engagement to properly discuss. That said, I had forgotten about his engagement with Alice and Bob, so I ought to include it. His

This argument certainly has some validity (see also Ensmenger's project to understand the environmental role of computing in general: http://homes.soic.indiana.edu/nensmeng/enviro-compute/dirtyb... ). However,

If there's a new argument to be had here (I'm doubtful, it sounds like a re-hashing of governance issues that have played out over the last year), it's this claim: "This rule-making is what we refer to as governance.&

This is an excellent reply. That said, we'd need to agree on definitions of "state" here. Some kinds of money surely existed before anything recognizable as a "state", but then again, such notions of money are lik

I have a short section on cryptoeconomics in my upcoming book, which I'll post below (still developing, and still in draft). Unlike practically every other description of the "field", I don't take it for granted and don&

Neither article makes any mention of Perl, which isn't terribly surprising, since BLACKER is still highly classified, with very little is publicly known about its design and operation. You'll find some discussion of BLACKER in m

This phenomenon has been fairly well studied in the academic literature, and you can sum it up to a variety of factors including productivity from co-location (Skype just won't cut it in some circumstances!), capitals flows (VC funding

The author laments the lack of Sketch app on Windows: I'd recommend trying out Adobe XD. On the Mac it is at least as good as Sketch these days, and while the Windows app is way behind still, it is developing fast.

I'm in the same boat (with everyone, it seems). One remaining big differentiator, for me, is the resell value and service support of Macs. I can use a Mac for three full years, under warranty, and then turn around and sell it used the

As I see it, the main challenge with much of this proposal is that it isn't clear how to convince the kind of broad sharing much of this needs (for training). There's some incentive, in the sense that if you participate you reap A

It took significant fighting (my original Pebble was 6 days out of warranty), but they replaced mine too, since it was doing some terrible screen tearing. I've purchase the Kickstarter Time 2, so hopefully it won't have the same i

This headline massively misconstrues Snowden's role and technical capacity in any such voting machine hack. Snowden merely said that it could be done, and pointed to a video published by Cylance.

This person is either reading the lightest self-help type of books, or not really "reading" these books. I'm an academic, and my only job is to read books (and articles, etc), and I do my job at least 12 hours a day, 7 days a

Quite literally the opposite of any reasonable definition of security. "Security" isn't magic fairy dust, or a tagline, it is a social property that arises only _after_ many years of use and adaptation > "everything h

The irony of the fact that I read this during my morning 30 minute read through of tech news—at Hacker News, the über site, no less—is not lost on me. Although a funny essay, there's a great deal of truth here, and should make us ask s

Anyone have any comments on limitations/issues with Ukelele? I'm stranded with Karabiner-Elements being so rough, and I'd like to switch to something simpler (I just need to remap option and command keys for my external keybo

And at least for me, the system preference switches simply don't work for my external keyboard (it can't seem to fully understand the difference between an internal keyboard and an external keyboard).

Karabiner-Elements is very unfinished/unpolished though. Like, way pre-Alpha. It's great that Karabiner is being developed, but given the number of people that are surely using MS keyboards, the situation is rather untenable. Th

I use BlackVPN[1], but mostly because they used to have a referral program and I ended up with several years of free service. They tend to be quite quick, have OK (but not exemplary security measures), and offer a nice range of servers for

Well, in my defense, I have not been actively looking for actual implementations (I'm an academic researcher), so I'll have to concede naivety. But, I think my point still stands, and I think we agree about the capricious nature o

January isn't very deep into 2017, but I've backed a good half dozen Kickstarters and they rarely hit their targets (then again, Pebble is pretty solidly established at this point). But, even if they ship in January that is still
