Someone would have to pay a kernel developer to modify LineageOS (or a similar project) to be oriented towards multiple concurrent instances of the same app, spoofing device IDs, identifying when an app needs attention, etc. But people tend

I’d like to be corrected if I’m wrong, but this seems to be about arranging data to be better processed in quantum computing, to retrieve parity information. I wonder if this has application to McEliece codes, or future communications. I ho

I’ve always interpreted the various Crypto Wars as distractions. It is a bizarre paradox where designing a secure system is a hard problem, where zero-days are commonly cheaper than brute forcing a 64-bit key, while cryptography is chronica

The similarity to Lebensborn is uncanny, and reminiscent of Dr. Strangelove. It all makes me think that the United States was defeated by the Nazis at some point.

I think what makes people weird in an undesirable sense is when they wish to set themselves apart from others. Creating a maternity home for the exclusive selection of women to produce your own children is disturbing. As far as I can tell,
