   This is very interesting! In fact, I think NSA TEMPEST standards already protect against this kind of attack. For example, here is a TEMPEST certified powerline filter that protects against conducted emissions that this paper relies on: ht

   Wait a minute here -- You're saying that the US military is patent trolling with secure, multiparty chat patents? Can you link to said patents?

   This is great! The privacy problem is especially interesting because I work on a distributed key management system called NuCypher. We use proxy re-encryption to do this and have a distributed network of nodes that perform the actual re-enc

   Does anyone know any good guides for installing this on a X1 Carbon Gen 5? I've been wanting to try this out on my X1, but there isn't really any nuance when it comes to guides for it. Just a list of problems and what does and doe

   Hey, folks! I'm a cryptographic engineer at NuCypher and this is a pretty big release for us. I'm happy to answer any questions about this!

   > always been a community made up of shady folks This is so clearly false that it overshadows the rest of your comment. You _cannot_ claim these things without proof and your point is so easily disproven that it's not worth the time

    Using stimulants like Adderall is not mutually exclusive with this ideal. I've known engineers who do exactly this. They plan out what they're working on minimally and architect it out in the best and most simple way possible. Whe

    My partner made me a 15 pound weighted blanket for Christmas and I love it. It's very cozy and feels nice. She made it out of light materials so it can breathe and be used in the Summer.

    Last time I did this, I had to reverse the binaries and remove the cert pinning code. There are a few examples of this around the place, but it can get fairly complex pretty quickly.

    Sorta unrelated, but mind commenting on why you don't have one? Is it a security thing or do you just not have one/like one?

    There are no provably secure white box crypto implementations. It's actually debated within the community _if_ one can even exist.

    I don't think that not wanting to be friends with someone because they want your kids to die for being Jewish is necessarily a dickish thing. It's an extreme example, yet an unfortunate practical one today.

    That's not how it works. When you stake your Ethereum, it gets locked up and can't be withdrawn. When your staking time is up, then you can withdraw it. Smart contracts could be used so that multisignature wallets could be used wh

    The idea of a dystopian government/force performing search and destroy operations on cryptocurrency miners sounds like a refreshingly novel idea for cyberpunk/sci-fi fiction writers.

    No, it's essentially a race on the number of users trying to get mined in the block. There is a hard limit to the number of transactions that can fit in a block (1MB, this is the block size). Users who want to get in the immediate next

    Building such schemes just widens your attack surface by a margin of 10. There's a reason we have stuck with server side hashing.
