The problem with this assumption, that all possible attacks have been narrowed down to expensive only attacks i.e nation station level. These are complex systems and its not possible to prove that the only form of attacks are within these o

Another one worth mentioning is the Fialka. It was a cipher machine used all the way up to the 90's. It was only a little better than the Enigma and lagged far behind what the western world was using. Not sure why they bothered to try

It's refreshing to me to read articles like this. In the current climate of consensus science, and settled science. Here is someone well versed in Physics, and the Philosophy of it. Reminding people that we need to be humbled again.

>1. This is interesting. So in a measured boot scenario, you wouldn't be able to boot the main OS, but it would give you access to sort of a minimal initramfs environment for debugging? It's a good idea for personal computers,

I have a question for you. How many scientists does it take for consensus, that we should determine science is settled? Or is it always open for inquiry?

What causes Delusion? The prevailing view is that people adopt false beliefs because they’re too stupid or ignorant to grasp the truth. But just as often, the opposite is true: many delusions prey not on dim minds but on bright ones. And th
