Its understandable and reasonable that we can't read everything everyone writes prior to responding to them. In order to learn you have to risk being offended, in order to think you have to risk being offensive. Its a core requirement

If you think I'm trolling then you are jumping at shadows. You're not the one taking huge karmic hits for taking an unpopular opinion, and a lot of kids are using bots to try to de-amp that, like that even matters. So many people

Math, the hash function use magic numbers which in turn initialize and eventually map to a specific Galois Field, they are also called finite fields. You have a set field size as you go over it, it loops and so output fields are never uniqu

Unfortunately, these are famous last words in a professional IT environment. I've heard the exact same argument almost verbatim from a C-level exec who got fired after an outage. It was regarding backups and the infantesimal chance tha

Non-deterministic problems don't give you clear signs that they are those class of problems. The system works so long as its deterministic, this is a requirement for computation to do work. Then it stops working or doing work when its

No one I know of ever breaks these systems with exhaustive searches. Holding an exhaustive search up as some kind of bedrock of security is foolhardy. As for cryptography, its all based on primes, and have you been watching what papers are

I don't think you understand the difference and fluidity of what a distribution is and how it differs from likelihood curves. You've made some significant assumptions, one of those assumptions is that the brute force way is the mo

Great, another Nix tutorial. Sounds great, isn't. A lot of magical thinking going on in that group. If you know anything about computers, you know for them to operate deterministically, uniqueness of the next potential state is an impo

The problem with your analysis is you are taking that budget they show and assuming it is correct and that they have not lied, and when investigating fraud a necessary component of any fraud is lying about what you've done. Forensic ac

If you think its because of the two-party system you need to do more research. I agree ranked choice is something that needs to happen, but it won't change the fundamental problem which is you have a majority of people who are easily s

I am not against compensating anyone for work they do. That being said, its been my experience that there is something rotten in that group of people. Thibault likes to be the face-man, but there are others involved in running things as he

No, its not about solving a problem like piracy, its about creating so many hoops that no one can ever possibly follow, that you can then apply arbitrarily to anyone you want, so you can control their every action, or more likely bury anyon

Well that characterization is a bit farfetched, but not completely. You would have to equate "em surveillance" with all radio (that is em after all), and coverage of course varies by location. As for inner speech and bodily action

This kind of initiative lacks a core understanding of the requirements for thinking and intelligence in general, and by its nature of compulsion is subversive. In order to think, you must risk being offensive, in order to learn you must ris

T480s were manufactured in 2018, any third-party (non-manufacturer) warranty is of limited value. So at best they may be 5 years old which is pretty decent. The problem with warranties these days is they are setup to simply replace the har

That's because few, if any, were being taught the fundamentals, and they also have not been taught to have a discerning eye, especially when identifying and using information, when its in fact propaganda. I'm far more concerned ab
