It's sad to see such immense effort to "extract" and "preserve" entropy, when anyone interested could have all the quality random numbers they need from simple and well auditable electric circuit. Somehow this is no

If you want to glimpse how your subconscious puts the pieces together, I recommend "image streaming" technique. It's possible and so fascinating to observe how your mind always tries and tries and tries to connect/combin

Speed of light in in air is indeed almost the same as in vacuum. But speed in fiber is about 2/3 of that. Satellite internet has high latency not because "pushing through air" but because geostationary satellites are very far

If someone reputable was testing all these devices for such basic flaws and published the results, then IT managers could use that to back their buying decisions. That would actually cause vendors to listen. I don't think it is impossi

Obviously the token can be stolen,too. Also,people all the time voluntarily allow others to use their tokens if convenience demands it. Your comment is also a good example of how the concern 'people can't manage privkeys well&#x

One thing makes me curious. Here in Carpathians, if you leave unmaintained plot of land, it will turn into forest by itself in 20 years. First it gets grown over by blackberries, wild roses and other thorny bushes (birds excrement the seeds
