Electricity is much more expensive than gas per J. You have to be ~3x more efficient to just break even.

No, yours would immediately break if they whitelist IPs. This one is pretty much officially sanctioned WhatsApp traffic.

Yes your penultimate paragraph is my core point. I argue that’s the real standard. Freedom means different things to different people. If you try to define it objectively, you quickly are in the realm of ideology and then wondering why ha

All Ds I know pre-Hamas invasion were pretty much the same and would never vote out of party lines, but they wouldn’t say it that way. Rs say it more explicitly. All Ds pretend to be “independent” but they will find a way to rationalize the

Doesn’t matter what they think about the economy at large in abstract terms; sure they may be right or wrong about that, but I definitely question all those who say people don’t know how they are supposed to feel about their individual econ

I agree there are incorrect information, incorrect analysis, and incorrect predictions by the electorate. What I am saying is that in aggregate, the political machine on both sides is fully incentivized with enough financial and media backi

All of these things are running Linux under virtualization and faking it to the Mac user and they naturally have all the same limitations as running a VM. They are effectively like WSL. P.S. I believe that specific company did some level of

How did Trump come into the picture? Less than a year ago the other party was in charge voted in by the people. The comment was theoretical and applied to both sides equally. Are y'all just venting?

I understand that. That is not the point though. Although, if you believe in that theory, you should reject democracy and aim for some form of aristocracy or monarchy. I don't believe that many political scientists [sic] today publis

It was a waste of time to read. TLDR is if OpenAI were a random startup it’d be strange but because it has credible shareholders that stand to lose in a bankruptcy (weirdly constructed argument), it’s probably safe enough. Duh. Basically th

You are correct that FSF does not consider the entire system at large as free. AOSP and WebKit are certainly really free in the FSF sense, but sure, almost all Android distributions in practice also contains some non-free software in additi

I'm responding to this comment as an end user with a free browser and free OS and it works perfectly fine. Billions of users do in fact. So there doesn't need to be an answer. He can just show it to you.

A big government can also be corrupted by big corporations bigly too. Not at all clear there's a correlation there or which way there is. In fact there's more incentive and larger attack vector to corrupt a big and powerful govern

That's still the government doing its work and limited to the power of your government. Not the same thing at all.

True. Plus strong/weak axis as in having teeth is a separate dimension than scope being large or small.

A corporation, without government, cannot imprison you or conduct violence so it is infinitely better in that scenario. If it’s not obvious to you, you have been extremely privileged to be part of the a few percentage who haven’t had to liv

How would you look up the key if it is passed it back to you from another API? It won't be reversible. If you want to persist two keys, you might as well generate a random second key and persist that. No crypto shenanigans needed.
237.
by tgma 1y ago
That limitation is present in the CBC mode solution presented as well. A random IV will not help you avoid "key rotation" if that's a design requirement. By design, you won't want to rotate the key as the encrypted UUID
238.
by tgma 1y ago
The encryption implementation suggested seems overkill and problematic as it increases the size of the ID. UUID is 128 bit which is the same block size as AES. You can simply apply AES to transform the input block with a secret key to and d
